Welcoming the New Tiger Year!!

The Chinese New Year is approaching with the New Moon! An excitement and great opportunity for making resolutions and goals, new plans, or just reinforce the ones we've done one month ago, and may didn't have the time to put them in practice!
While it is good to make lists or write a mission statement, having a mantra can help focus your energy and attention on your new goals for the year.
Taken from the original Sanskrit, the word mantra means "sacred counsel" and can represent a thought, a phrase or even a single word that embraces what you wish to bring into your life.
The power of your mantra is twofold: recitation and repetition. Saying it to yourself on a daily basis (or even several times each day!) can help you to focus on the power of the words and the meaning behind them.
Tiger New Year starts on 14th February, Valentine's day! Celebrate the New Year with love! With self-love (yes, you've many reasons to love and be in-love with yourself!), love with your beloved (we're celebrating at the Centre with a Tao Tantra Couples workshop), love with your family and friends! In ancient Chinese tradition the New Year's day is beneficial to celebrate, to be happy, to have smiling faces, and to refrain from quarreling, or criticizing anyone.
Leaving the Ox year behind - the reinforcement, "prosperity and fortitude through hard work" we come into the Tiger - the courage - "associated with good fortune, power and royalty, tigers are viewed with both respect and fear".
"The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet".
The Chinese (as other Asian cultures), see the tiger and not the lion, as the king animals.
"Tiger is lucky for some..."
Well, about luck, I believe we do our own! I heard in a movie a while ago something that reaffirms this: "Never give up and good luck will find you!"
In Taoism the Tiger symbolizes the female Yin energy and also represents Earth, as opposed to the Yang male energy of the Dragon, which represents Heaven.
