Slow Going

This week, heartbeat is delivered with an invitation to go slow.

Hong Kong summers provide the perfect excuse to take it easy and this is the perfect summer to experience a clarity rarely seen in our perfect blue sky. We have seen islands we didn't know existed. From the peak, we can see across the mountains into the new territories and remember how much green there is in our neighbourhood. The eastern new territories provide an area of woodland that feels less like Asia than the usual urban landscape.

If you decide to escape the city, remember to take care of your body in the extreme heat. We found aluminum spray bottles at SaSa that we fill with distilled water (mineral water clogs the pump over time) and add aromatherapy oils. We have a selection to choose from, depending on where we're headed. Add a few drops of citronella oil and you get a simple insect repellent. Lavender drops provide a wonderful cooling spritz for your face and body and soothes exposed skin. Rosemary or bergamot or peppermint oil can be added to an office potion as a morning wake-up or afternoon refresher.

How will you use your little bit of slow time ?

Listen to your own heartbeat.

August Personal Astrology & Feng Shui for Home & Office

The month of the Monkey

The Monkey is a popular figure in Chinese legend, the mischievous hero of a classic tale who accompanied the monk Xuan Zang on his perilous journey to the West. In the epic, the monkey embodies the essence of human nature and its frailties, which can be redeemed through good works.

Despite the intense heat we have in Hong Kong and due to the Chinese Farmers Solar Calendar on the 8th August we welcome Autumn (Li Ch’iu) with the height of the summer peaking on the 23rd of the month (Ch’u Shu) after which temperatures should begin to fall. The elements of the year have been so accurate with extremes of intense Fire and Water. Special Days during August taken from the Chinese calendar : 19 August – Seven Sisters Festival; 27 August – Hungry Ghosts Festival.

Crop Circles and Moon Connections

Does a 7/7/07 crop circle point to a new astronomical cycle?

An Australian scientist suggests that a 7 July 2007 crop circle indicates "a series of four lunar phase cycles, spanning the summer of 2007. Three of those four cycles begin and end normally, whereas the fourth lunar cycle will end six days after a new moon. An 18-20 August 2007 planetary alignment involving Earth, Venus, Sun and Saturn may be a turning point in astronomical cycles governing the evolutionary cycle of growth in consciousness on Earth.
