“Day after day we can’t help growing older.
Year after year spring can’t help seeming younger.
Come let’s enjoy our wine cup today,
Not pity the flowers fallen!”{Wang Wei}
The moment of your birth is when your personal Trinity of Heaven, Earth and Mankind Luck was established.
Celebrating your birthday each year is a wonderful opportunity to increase your good luck and share good chi!
Here are some special ways to inspire your own celebrations or create very special birthday gifts for your family and loved ones.
- Send your wishes up to the Heavens by releasing 9 red and gold helium balloons or sky lanterns and watch them disappear into the Sky Dragon’s mouth
- Release sky or floating lanterns
- If you know them, perform the BTB transcendental cures of “Planting Auspicious Seeds” and/or “The Golden Cicada”
- Fill your home with fragrant flowers
- Practice animal liberation by releasing fish, birds, crabs etc.
- Take a very special purification bath with sea salt and kaffir lime essential oil or 9 round peels from fresh oranges and “wash away” any inauspicious energies from your previous year and welcome the fresh new chi
- Express gratitude to your parents for your life
- Visit your deity and say thank you, thank you, thank you
- Have a celebration feast including sweet cake (so your new year is sweet!) with wish-making candles
- Write down your birthday wish and put it with any amulets you carry
- Receive Lucky Red Envelopes with money inside
- Have an oracle reading for your new year
