The Magic of Wong Thai Sin

Posted on Jan 6, 2010 in wealth | 5 comments

This is a picture of my mother-in-law and me at Wong Thai Sin Temple in Hong Kong. I’m the blondie and she’s bent over next to me writing. It’s a place where prayers are answered using fortune sticks called kau cim.

While meditating on your intention or question, you shake a cup of sticks — each with a number. One eventually falls out and that is your fortune. The number is tied to a story when interpreted is your fortune.

My mother-in-law goes back every year to ask about the future of everyone in the family. Her report back is spookily accurate. Each year I wait with great anticipation to hear the news. And this year’s was stunning.

My story is about a phoenix that rises from the ashes and flies over the forest. A new beginning. A rebirth. Finding my inner calling.

That’s exactly how I intend 2010 to unfold. My word for this year is “soar”. To fly to new (scary) heights and truly expand my wings. I plan to make it a year where I tap into my deepest creativity, making the most of my talents. This will lead me to adventures and experiences beyond my imagination. This is the year I fly.

I wish you all much prosperity and peace in 2010. You have everything you need right now to make all your wishes come true, so come fly with me, come fly, come fly away… (think Sinatra).

    Funny how your visions turn out. I had just watched a show on iPhone apps on CNBC and was in bed with my iPod Touch, listening to R.Kelly ‘I Believe I Can Fly.” I was trying to think of things in my life that would be easier, better with the right App. Having read The Secret and other similar books as I try to practice the law of attraction, I thought about a Vision Board app. When I went to search the App Store, your Vision Board app was exactly what I had sketched out and had envisioned. So… I guess I attracted the app to help me in the long run, not necessarily build it myself. I do have other projects so I will use the Vision Board app and the Gratitude Journal in my daily devotions. Thank you so much and happy to contribute to you attracting your goals.
