What Does 2022 - The Year of the Water Tiger Mean for You?

Happy Chinese New Year Friends! You may have heard this is the year of the Chinese Water Tiger, but what does that exactly mean? The past few weeks, I have been extensively reading all the predictions set forth by colleagues and experts all over the world who on what the 2022 energies will hold for planet in 2022. The general consensus is that we are all going to be recovering from a pandemic burn out and re-emerging from the isolation of lockdowns, quarantines, restrictions, etc. Travel is not on the list of thriving industries for 2022, neither is working in a “brick and mortar” building. It will be about finding balance in the Metaverse. This new era will be about technology and reaching people and audiences through new and innovative ways, like video communication. We can already see that with TikTok and IG Reels! But even working with clients will still be via Zoom which is why at Vibrant Interiors, we will forever offer remote Feng Shui design consults, distance Reiki/Meditation sessions, and remote Space Clearing-Blessing services. I’m telling you the energy is even more potent as it travels through time and space ✨🙌🏻 🌎 💫  The economy will also experience some ups and downs with inflation, so resilience will be key. A skill millions of us have learned in the past two years alone.

In terms of personal transformation and development, 2022 will be all about SPIRITUAL AWAKENING! This will be about raising your “vibration” (at Vibrant Interiors we know a thing or two about that!) to focus on things that really matter in your life. To reprioritize your life to find the energy to go “next level” on this journey and achieve alignment with your mind, body, and spirit. With a higher consciousness, things flow better bringing with it - profound realizations.

I know, I know, you are thinking …

“Sure this all sounds nice, but how do I accomplish Spiritual Awakening?!”

Well, I won’t deny that it takes some time (Hey, I’ve been on this mission for 44 years!) but progress towards it is easier than you may think. We are all entitled and built to experience the fullness of life, it is not something reserved only for yogis meditating 24/7 in the mountains. So….take a deep breath (please, lots of breathing!!! I sometimes forget to do this, too!) and take one day at a time (we got all year, ok?) and follow some of these three simple tips:

Write down three goals/accomplishments for 2022.

Write three goals you would like to accomplish in 2022!

Forget about New Year’s diets or resolutions to swear less (I lose that game on Jan 2nd). When you come from a place of restricting yourself that only backfires and makes you feel shitty about yourself. But if you shift your mindset on what would make you truly happy in this life and what you truly DESIRE for 2022, things might start to feel a little more fun…and adventurous. Think of unique ways to increase your personal growth, professional prosperity, or an abundant  family life. You choose what resonates in your soul. Write it down and then think of doable and fun ways to implement these changes. For example, if you want more vitality, go for a 10 minute walk in the woods. Being in nature is the quickest way to reset your thoughts and energy. If walking is too much, sit with your palms on a rock or the ground for 10 minutes. Your palms are connected to your heart chakra and putting them on the earth is anti-inflammatory and will calm you down.  Do this a few times a week and notice if there is a shift.  

Get rid of Three (or more) Big things that no longer serve you.

Clear clutter, clean forgotten corners (in your home and mind) welcome prosperity!

This could be objects in your environment, or toxic relationships that are not uplifting to you. When we get rid of things that are broken or do not serve our highest and best good, we make way for new energy! Having a hard time with this? Ok, then try this exercise! One of the first life-altering things I learned in Feng Shui training is whenever you feel stuck, move 27 things. Twenty-seven is considered a sacred number and once you commit to doing it I am telling you, it is hard to stop at 27.  You can unload your dishwasher, clear out a junk drawer, and even move the same thing 27 times to a different spot. It changes the energy of a room and makes you feel better. Do this, write down how you felt afterward, and use that chi or life force energy you created to propel you through the day.  Hey, it may even help you write that list of BIG 3 things to get rid of.

Find three things that bring you JOY and do them over and over again!

2022 Mantra?

When it comes to the New Year, I no longer draft that list of “resolutions”. I find ways to increase my personal growth in ways that are fun. I find new things to learn about that make me feel good. Last year it was all about learning new modalities to incorporate into my business and this year, I decided to join an online yoga academy that I had been eyeing for two years.  Best decision of 2022 so far. And see the innovative technology in our new “metaverse” has given me a powerful yoga community to be a part of from the comfort of my home. I hope you can give yourself room to enjoy some downtime (you must carve that out for yourself - you deserve it) and relax, so that you replenish your energy to make you want to accomplish your three wishes list.  Go for that Massage to release the emotions you’ve buried inside you muscles and tissues. Find joy by hanging out with fun and uplifting friends! If you’ve got ideas or feelings you want to release - WRITE. I have to do this a lot because lots of ideas get trapped in my head 🤔

I think you get it...you do what makes YOU happy! It might require a lot of digging, leaning, clearing, persisting, but that is how to make the most of this magical new year and beyond 🙏🏻
