Hello, everyone. MAYOLOGY’s motto is “We are a part of the Earth,” living while receiving its blessings. As seasons change, it’s crucial for us to harmonize with nature and align our actions with its rhythm.
As we welcome the beginning of spring, the 24 solar terms guide us through seasonal transitions. This ancient wisdom, based on the sun’s movement, helps us appreciate nature, fostering gratitude for the environment. Understanding the cycles of the four seasons allows us to gain wisdom in living alongside the Earth.
Looking ahead, the era of the wind is approaching, emphasizing the importance of invisible forces like energy. Just as the wind is unseen but undeniable, making sustainable and environmentally conscious choices in our lives is vital.
In facing the responsibility towards the future, let’s align ourselves with the natural rhythm, evolving like the wind. Expressing gratitude for unseen forces and embracing a lifestyle in harmony with the Earth can help build a more sustainable future. Being conscious of our coexistence with the Earth and taking actions might be our mission.
The Lunar New Year is widely celebrated, mainly on January 1st, across Asia. However, it might not be as familiar in other regions, including Japan.
Calendars broadly fall into “Solar Calendar,” “Lunar Calendar” based on the moon’s phases, and a combination known as “Lunisolar Calendar.” The Gregorian calendar, commonly used, follows the Solar Calendar. On the other hand, the Lunar New Year follows the Lunisolar Calendar, incorporating both the moon and sun’s movements.
The distinction lies in the Lunisolar Calendar’s inclusion of lunar and solar aspects, causing seasons and celebrations to shift with the moon’s phases. This romantic approach evokes a sense of harmony with the moon, the sun, and nature. By combining the beauty of the moon and the warmth of the sun, we can feel a deep connection with our Earth.
As a new year begins and a new season arrives, let’s delve into the rich meaning of the Lunisolar Calendar and deepen our wisdom in walking alongside the Earth. Embracing a lifestyle that values the dialogue with nature, woven by the romance of the moon and the sun, can guide us towards a more abundant future.
The Connection between Natural Cycles and Human Life
Our human lives are deeply intertwined with the cycles of nature. Women’s menstrual cycles resonate with the moon’s phases, particularly influenced during the full moon. This connection reminds us that we are part of nature.
Tea, nurtured in nature, also holds a special place. Tea harvested on a full moon night is believed to absorb the moon’s energy, enhancing its nutritional value. By respecting these connections and living in harmony with nature’s cycles, we can receive rich nutrients and energy.
Valuing these connections and showing respect for nature’s cycles in our daily lives can deepen our sense of coexistence with the Earth. Small choices in our everyday lives can promote harmony with the Earth and contribute to building a sustainable future. Let’s cherish the wisdom of living alongside the Earth, feel its importance, and walk together towards the future.
