Welcome to the Year of the Snake　~>゜)～～～

In every ancient culture, across continents, the snake is revered as a symbol of wisdom, power, and wealth.

We hope wisdom, power, and wealth will flow into your life in 2025!

The snake is also a symbol of circularity and new beginnings as embodied by the enigmatic symbol of the Ouroboros.

And two snakes twisted together are used as the insignia for the medical profession: a powerful imagery that conceals deep symbolism spanning from the mysteries of Ra to the oriental culture of Kundalini Yoga.

But if I may add what I think is the most stunning  take from our cold-blooded friends, it is that:

they do not walk or run.

but still, they can reach their target and find their way.

They flow. 　~>゜)～～～ 　~>゜)～～～ 　~>゜)～～～

This is not an argument about letting go, or some other zen-nish wisdom.

I am personally enjoying everyday holstering and bolstering (even if sometimes getting frustrated…)

but the realization that you can glide elegantly through the ups and downs of life like a snake, is inspirational.

When the wind is blowing too strong on my face I will try to keep in mind this mantra: 

“let it flow…”

And when it is not enough… I will enter in my ofuro, open the hot water, and let it flow!

Are you with me?

I wish you a truly amazing 2025

Happy New Year!
