Happy Lunar New Year!  Welcome to the Year of the Wood Dragon. The Dragon is an auspicious creature that symbolizes vitality, vision, vigor, power, nobility, honor, luck, and success. (chinahighlights.com). Dragon years are defined by momentum .  The element is wood, which fuels flames and enhances the intensity and instability of the dragon.  Globally, a Wood Dragon year might mean that things might get a bit turbulent, progress will come, but it might not be smooth. The lesson isn’t about compromise, where someone or everyone loses, but finding creative solutions where everyone gains more than expected. Are you feeling tired and unmotivated? Are you looking for change and a bold approach to bring in something new? The Year of the Wood Dragon is forecasted to bring about opportunities, changes, and challenges. Another message of this year: Strength is a gift to be lent, not a power to be wielded.  How will you embody the Qi of the dragon?  Can you shift away from compromise and instead can you find creative solutions where everyone gains more than expected? If you want to show up creatively in the year ahead, where everyone gains more than expected, mindfulness and coaching will help a ton.  We invite you to dive into coaching or a retreat.  www.jessiemahoneymd.com If you are looking for a speaker, reach out to Dr. Liang www.awakenbreath.org, or Dr. Mahoney www.jessiemahoneymd/com/speaking *Nothing in this podcast is medical advice.
