<p><strong>Hi!

We were lying naked in a hot-spring in the middle of the wilderness, nakedly discussing things closest to our heart in the pre-dawn stillness, currently detangling morning rituals, meditation, and how we maintain mindfulness amidst the everyday chaos of teaching, partnering, being.</p><p></p><p>Lectio divina, or “divine reading,” is a contemplative practice of sitting with meaningful words over time. My old friend Joe drew wrinkly hot-spring hands through the air, describing how he’s been practicing lectio divina with a seasonal book of scriptures for over a year now. Returning over and over to these verses, they pattern their exquisite beauty into his one wild life. Reading them again and again, he digests their depths through the crucible of living. I am not religious, but I love the idea.</p><p></p><p>My simplified version of lectio divina:</p><p></p><p><strong>Read something. Sit with it. Do it three times.</strong></p><p></p><p>Here’s my expanded version:</p><p>* Read a passage.</p><p>* Sit with it.</p><p>* Read it a second time, noticing what jumps out at you.</p><p>* Sit with what caught your attention.</p><p>* Read it a third time, noticing what calls you now.</p><p>* Sit with it one last time, considering how you might apply this to your life.</p><p></p><p>I am lectio divina-ing with the Dao De Jing (道德經), a classical Chinese text written or compiled by Lao Zi (老子) around 2500 years ago, a text that I keep returning to over and over, a text that humans have returned to over and over for thousands of years.</p><p></p><p>I compiled my Dao notebook at my first Chinese medicine graduate school in Florida. Chinese medicine is based on classical roots like the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine (黃帝內經), Classic of Changes (易經)— and the Dao De Jing (道德經). My professors quoted the classics, but I wanted to read the real thing. At the end of long school days, I sat by the window typing up my favorite Dao translations. I printed out the 81 verses on our school printer. Cut them up, verse by verse. Bound a little 4x5 notebook with 81 pages. Glued them in.</p><p></p><p>Ten years later, my Dao notebook still travels with me through adventures everyday and exotic, urbane and wild. The edges are frayed and yellowing, the whole book covered in marks, notes, highlights, and pictures. I’ve collaged plants, landscapes, animals, and other inspiring imagery into my Dao notebook, and what started as a thin book of empty pages is now teeming with cut and paste beauty.</p><p></p><p>Returning anew to the Dao with the practice of lectio divina, I read a passage a day. I try to reel myself in, so I don’t spend hours poring over different translations and cobbling together my own translation, as I am wont to do. Each word has its depth of meaning. Partnered words undulate into fresh meanings. Pull together a whole passage, and it’s a glittering skyscape of worlds upon worlds.</p><p></p><p>I like to journal for the final sitting. The Dao comes alive when I list three ways I can apply 道法自然 “The Way of Dao is the Way of nature” (passage 25), or freewrite about personal applications for 上善若水 “The greatest Virtue is that of Water” (passage 8).</p><p></p><p>May heralds the beginning of summer (立夏) in the <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_term">lunisolar Chinese calendar</a>. As the fresh buds of spring and Wood Element burst into the great flowering party of summer and Fire Element, grounding practices like reading and writing, returning to beloved tomes and nourishing words, can help us maintain rootedness amidst great flowering. The potential chaos of socioeconomic upheavals and political unrest might rattle us less, when our feet are firm, our minds clear.</p><p></p><p><strong>What books, poetry, quotes, or classical texts do you return to over and over? How have others sat with these words over time? How might you sit with these words now, and apply this wisdom to your life?</strong></p><p></p><p>RECOMMENDATIONS</p><p>* 5/21-22: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.midwestwomensherbal.com/mwhc-preconference">Seasonal Rituals for Wild Embodiment</a> in Almond, WI</p><p>* Listen to <a target="_blank" href="https://podcast.mountainroseherbs.com/the-generosity-of-plants-with-rosemary-gladstar-tea-talks-with-jiling">my interview with Rosemary Gladstar</a>, where we chat about her newest book, <a target="_blank" href="https://scienceandartofherbalism.com/product/the-generosity-of-plants/">The Generosity of Plants</a>, a beautiful collection of quotes from beloved herbalists</p><p>* My favorite books from April: The Body is a Doorway, by Sophie Strand.

This is a Legendary Moment
<p><strong>Hi! I’m Jiling</strong>, an acupuncturist, herbalist, and artist in coastal southern California bridging medicine and expression through my Ventura acupuncture clinic, Five Elements classes, and Elemental book-in-progress that interweaves nature, art, movement and ritual for thriving personal and ecological wild beauty.

Enjoy this January 2025 newsletter! Get monthly letters at <a target="_blank" href="https://jiling.substack.com/">Jiling.Substack.com</a></p><p>~</p><p>Happy New Year!</p><p></p><p>Chinese legends say that on the night of the Lunar New Year, the great monster 年 nian traipses through town wreaking havoc. So villagers make some noise: firecrackers, drums, gongs! Everyone wears red. They hang red paper on front doors with lucky words to dispel harm and welcome beauty. Nian flees to his cave. The villagers are saved for another year. <strong>Legends and traditions continue.</strong></p><p></p><p>Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday of the year in my ancestral lands of Taiwan and China. People still light fireworks, honor ancestral rituals, and hang 春聯 chun lian— or lucky words— for this intact ancient tradition of clanging out the old and banging in the new. We still wear red. Clean our homes. Light incense. Families gather to eat circular foods around circular tables, symbolic of 團圓 tuan yuan, unity and harmony. <strong>The circle comes together again.</strong> The disparate threads of our scattered communities and experiences reunite. We start fresh. Alone and together. Circling.</p><p></p><p>年 Nian means year. The monster represents the year ahead, full of unknown beauty and terror. We stand at the edge, gazing down the abyss. What lies ahead?</p><p></p><p>In protecting ourselves from the nian-monster, we adorn ourselves and our homes to welcome delight, abundance, ease— all that we wish to call in. We clean and shine to make space for loveliness to reenter. We hang the word 春 chun, or spring, upside down. The word for “upside down,” 倒 Dao, sounds like 到 dao, or to arrive. Painting “spring” on red paper and sticking it on the door upside down, we welcome spring’s arrival.</p><p></p><p><strong>Lunar New Year honors the first new moon of the new year</strong>, the first full darkness. We begin again. Soon, the birds return. The first buds of spring pop open. But we must first survive the dark. Court the monster. January and February can be dark, cold, and destructive. We survive together, shoulder to shoulder, clanging drums and chimes, grinding ink, writing lucky words that remind us of who we are and what we hold dear. We uplift our collective light to the sky, come clouds, storms, darkness. We stand together.</p><p></p><p>The next year— and next four years— will be ______________.</p><p></p><p><strong>We</strong><strong> fill in the blanks. </strong><strong>We</strong><strong> choose our words. </strong><strong>We</strong><strong> choose our destiny.</strong></p><p></p><p>What new year stories and traditions surrounded your childhood— and the lives of your ancestors? What still feels pertinent or poignant today? How are you adapting and honoring ancient ways for modern days? Which powerful words and phrases guide your way?</p><p></p><p><strong>May this new year of the Wood Snake slither luscious loveliness into your life.</strong> Call out your intentions and deepest heart’s desires, paint them on your door, and may those flowers bloom, bloom, bloom.</p><p></p><p>Tea & Ink: An Invitation</p><p>Come make 春聯 chun lian and sip tea with me, Madeleine Colvin, and other beautiful humans in Koreatown at Madeleine’s new Tile Cat Teahouse! We’re both first generation Asian-American women, offspring of flowing ink and tea, experimental bridge-walkers and culture-weavers extraordinaire. Come join us!</p><p></p><p>We’ll grind ink the way my 爺爺 yeye grandpa taught me with traditional Chinese art tools from Madeleine’s artist grandmother. Play with mark-making skills that translate across any fluid artistic medium to reignite creativity for the new year. Experiment with auspicious Chinese words and phrases for traditional chun lian or write in English, and bring home your own chun lian for the year ahead!</p><p></p><p>Wood Snake Astrology</p><p>I love these two annual Chinese astrology forecasts. They’ll usually publish new forecasts for the new year sometime soon.</p><p>* Artist <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tigereyeastrology.com/forecasts">Yu Hua Meng</a> (missTANGQ)</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tigersplayastrology.com/tigers-play">Gregory David Done, LAc</a></p><p></p><p>Auspicious Dates</p><p>* Lunar New Year is January 29. Light incense, sip tea, play music, write lucky words— do something to mark this transition, or intentionally do nothing and rest into the darkness of the first new moon of 2025.</p><p>* My birthday— the final year of my 30s— falls near the lunar new year. I’m wearing red, painting rainbows, and opening to wonder.</p><p>* Schedule your <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jilinglin.com/schedule">acupuncture</a> or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jilinglin.com/coach">creative coaching</a> for the fresh year— and I’ll see you on the Harmon Canyon trails for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jilinglin.com/events">Ventura plant walks</a> next month!</p><p></p><p>❤️ May this be the best season of your life,</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.jilinglin.com/">Jiling Lin, L.Ac.</a> • Acupuncturist, herbalist, artist • <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jilinglin.com/">JilingLin.com</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
