Lifting My Chi with Some of My Favorite Things

 

In Feng Shui, there are many ways to lift your chi: meditation, qigong, practicing Feng Shui, doing good deeds and so on.  Doing things that make you HAPPY also helps!

Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going to spend HAPPY time with my Beloved Husband Gregory and Cat Buddha and then, throughout the month of September, I'm going to experience all of these Favorite Things!

3.  Offering armloads of white lilies before Kuan Yin before doing the Kuan Yin Oracle

4.  Soaking and steaming at Breitenbush Hotsprings

The Chinese Gardens

On Valentine's Day my beloved husband Gregory and I spent the afternoon at the Portland Classical Chinese Gardens. This is where we had our first date so it's a very special place for us and we'd gone to hear the reading of Chinese Love Poetry upstairs at the Tao of Tea over pots of lapsang suchong tea drinking in the sensual imagery of the poems.  Afterwards, walking through the scented air and stopping in a moon-gate for some smooching!
