Happy New Year!
Part 2

Let’s get ready today to welcome Rabbit.

Clean your dining room to help strengthen your family and create harmony within the home. Put a bowl of fruit or an arrangement of silk flowers on the table. Never use dried flowers or plants, after all, they are dead.

Remove clutter! Out with the old, and clear your spaces to allow more flow of movement and eliminate stagnation, which creates more blocks.

Honoring your Ancestors: Don’t put photos of your family members in bedrooms. Your bedroom is for rest/romance. Only put photos of your partners/spouse in your bedroom.

Earth is a symbol of health, so put a lush green plant or silk plant in the direction
of the East.

If you have a family urn in your home, place it facing West or in the North side
of your home. But if there is a bedroom there, then place it in the North or West side of the living room.

Tonight, before you go to bed, make a cup of warm salt water and take a shower. Pour the cup of salt water over your head and wash last year down the drain.

You are now ready for year 2026!

Happy New Year!
Part 1

We are in the year of Rabbit. It is our belief Rabbit is a teacher and a trickster. He symbolizes Transformation, Fertility, and Abundance. We have many stories about Rabbit, because he is clever. He reminds us to be hyper-vigilant, listen to our instincts, and assess potential dangers before acting. But Rabbit likes Power. Being the trickster, he will take and steal to get what he wants and needs.

This will be a Fast-action year with a lot of movement! But know there will be a lot of potential. Be adaptable and stay grounded. Ask yourself, what do you want, what do you need, then create your plan for success without greed. Remember, you are in control, not Rabbit. If you would like a Private Consultation, contact me: marika@oftheearthhealing.org.

On February 17th Rabbit will arrive. Remember the meaning of the New Moon. We are coming out of the darkness and into the light. Time to start planting the seeds of your future. Rabbit needs lots of room to run and kick its feet, so clear the entrance to your home. Sweep away last year’s debris from your front door, clear away any clutter from your living room entrance. On the 17th, open your front door and say your name out loud three times, and then welcome Rabbit in.

I have one story of Rabbit I would like to share with you, here’s the link:
