Day 5 of 15 ~Chinese New Year....

Welcoming the Wealth...

Zero Limits:  www.HolisticRadioShow.com #80
Let's evaluate our motive for wealth.  is it to help our community?
Avoiding greed  ~ seeking  benevolent outcomes!

Take out  the trash  ~ limiting beliefs? deserving? I'm spiritual and ...

Fifth Day
February 7
Called Po Woo, this day stay at home, so you can welcome the God of Wealth. Visit no one and let no one visit you; this will protect you from bad luck. This is also the day you may throw away your trash out the back door.

Visit no one to me means to 'listen to your own counsel' your own inner thoughts, dreams, insights from meditation. Your own higher self won't lie or mislead you, but your friends and advisers may not have the clarity that you do or your best interest in mind. So keep to yourself today.

I feel that 'staying at home' means to just do your work - speak when you have to do it - and keep quiet inside yourself today. Keep with your own thoughts = don't listen to others.
Take a news fast too - look at the weather - ok , you need to do that... leave the rest of it for another day...

Today keep to an information fast
Keep to your own counsel - don't share your thoughts with anyone...today,
Be at peace...
need some peace?  Breath slowly, deeply, comfortably for 5 -20 minutes, let your mind sink to the middle of your body - near your navel; listen you may hear your heart speaking to you.  

Zero Limits.
Happy Day
Welcome Wealth...

Day 4 Chinese Year... (of 15) Super Bowl Day

Super Bowl Sunday ~ rooting for your team &...



Celebrate the In-laws - did you do something for them yesterday?
today is your second chance...
maybe paint the trim in the house for them
- or shovel snow before the game...
I am sure you can find something
- or just set up a small shrine for them
in your living room, or in your heart.
Offer some food or nice drinks.


Maybe your way of showing respect to the in-law parents is to complete a task: furthering your education, donating in their name to certain organization.  There are many creative ways...

Cheers to you.
Celebrate in your special way...

Day 3 of 15 ~ New Year Chinese Celebration...

Today and tomorrow time give some attention to your parents - in -law



Third & Fourth Day
February 5 & 6

These two days are reserved for son-in-laws to pay respects to their parents-in-law.

Maybe cook for them;
Take them some flowers;
call them on the phone;
buy them a movie;
go shopping for them;

what will you do to celebrate today?



If you do not have an in-law, perhaps you have a family friend
you would like to honor today.

Time to sell the farm & move to the city?

Happy Chinese New Year - 15 days -Day 2

Got a dog? or one nearby?

Pat your dog, feed your dog,
play with your dog, throw a ball or a stick,

pat them on the head,
give 'em a comfortable bed...




Second Day
February 4
Chinese believe this is the day to pray for our ancestors, as well as God.
It is also the birthday for all dogs,
 so be very nice to them and feed them well. 
How you treat your pet may be a clue as to how you treat yourself, and friends.
Observe your attitude about pets, friends and self.

Chief Seattle's view:
This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
