On January 28, the Year of the Wood Serpent began. Wood, one of the five elements in ancient Tibetan and Chinese holistic medicine, represents late spring, a time when everything is blooming. This year is best for bringing closure to what has already been started and taking deliberate action. Utilize the snake’s intelligence and intuitive instincts. The Earthly energy carries strength and encouragement to follow through with your goals. However, be cautious, as the snake can also be greedy, and if irritated, it may bite!
The snake symbolizes healing, wisdom, rebirth, and patience. The Wood element fuels action, creativity, and spirituality. Much like a snake shedding its skin, this year invites us to release what no longer serves us and cleanse our energy for pure awareness.
The snake’s wisdom is in stillness, not in force
True transformation does not come from force or control. The mind, like a rebellious teenager, cannot be tamed or mastered. The more we try to control it, the stronger it resists. Instead of chasing achievements or attempting to quiet the mind, Yin energy teaches us to simply stop paying attention to the mind, allowing awareness to flow naturally.
When the serpent coils under the sunlight, it is at its happiest. Finding time to reside in the stillness beyond consciousness is ideal, as fear and desire are illusions of the mind. And watch out for excessive trouser snakes ☺
Aligning with the snake’s energy: Healing, movement, and release
This year’s energy is dynamic, balancing the patience of Yin with the momentum of Wood. To navigate this energy effectively, grounding practices, energetic cleansing, and deep subconscious work can be beneficial.
Higher consciousness energy hypnosis: Releasing deep patterns
Just as the snake sheds its old skin, Higher Consciousness Energy online hypnosis sessions offer subconscious release and energetic renewal. Hypnosis helps:
Break free from ingrained habits, fears, and mental blockages.
Access deeper awareness beyond the thinking mind, where true healing occurs.
Let go of outdated belief systems, making space for clarity, peace, and presence.
Yin yoga and the wood element: Releasing, not controlling
The Wood element governs the organs of the liver and gallbladder, as well as the tendons and ligaments. When emotions are suppressed, or when we allow ignorance to take over in the form of rage, fury, and aggravation, imbalances in the gallbladder meridian can trigger further frustration and emotions that may lead to liver damage. This, in turn, can result in anger, impatience, depression, and worry.
When these energy meridians flow in a healthy, balanced way, we may feel decisive, calm, patient, optimistic, courageous, and benevolent.
Practicing Yin yoga with Cosmoenergy in 2025 helps to:
Stretch and soften the tendons and muscles, preventing cramps and blockages.
Regulate emotions by gently working with the liver and gallbladder meridians and the system as a whole.
Encourage patience and deep release, counterbalancing Wood’s fast-moving, sometimes restless nature.
Practice true surrender, letting go rather than trying to control the mind or emotions.
Energy healing: Restoring balance with cosmoenergy
Like the snake shedding its old skin, true transformation requires purification. Cosmoenergy healing cleanses and harmonizes the energy field, helping to release negative energy, stagnant emotions, and subconscious patterns naturally.
This practice:
Aligns the energy flow with more than 40 specific channels for a personalized healing process, reducing stress and overactivity in the mind.
Helps release energetic blockages, allowing for natural clarity and peace.
Supports deep transformation, aligning with the snake’s intuitive wisdom of observing rather than forcing change.
One-to-one holistic retreats: Shedding, healing, and creating
Be your inner Guru. It is common to rely on the outer world for decisions and healing. This is part of the illusion that there is an external fix.
In alignment with the Snake’s energy, private one-on-one retreats offer deep, personalized attention to healing and renewal, essential for personal empowerment. Unlike group retreats, these intimate experiences allow for:
Energy system and organ healing through Cosmoenergy or Reiki. You may customize your retreat by studying Reiki and receiving Reiki certification from the original Usui lineage.
Hypnosis and intuitive therapy for subconscious release, letting go of limiting patterns.
Using the Pendulum for truth, daily higher self-connection, and intuitive decision-making.
Yin yoga and therapeutic ancient massages tailored to individual concerns, supporting emotional and physical balance.
Creative flow practices, which may include painting, writing, foraging in nature, swimming, walking, or cycling—movement with awareness.
Upcycling as a meditative practice, transforming the old into something unique and meaningful.
These retreats are designed for those seeking true change, offering a space where you can release, heal, and create at your own pace, free from external distractions.
Enjoy spring and summer foraging and spas on a yin tranquil island
Join me on a calm island, relax, and enjoy fearless self-love beyond the mind and the restlessness of the world. Indulge in spas, forests, and pristine beaches. Enjoy foraging and making desired teas and elixirs from natural produce, mushroom picking, and embracing joyful existence.
The Snake’s wisdom lies in knowing that nothing is wasted; everything is energy in transformation. Upcycling follows the same principle, breathing new life into materials and turning the old into something bold, unique, and renewed. The DURGA brand embodies this philosophy, offering one-of-a-kind handcrafted designs that remind us of our power to recreate and transform.
During retreats, you may choose art therapy in the form of feng shui practices, painting, or upcycling, which becomes a creative meditation, reinforcing the energy of renewal and repurposing. This practice:
Encourages being present and in the flow while seeing new possibilities.
Supports intuitive expression by honoring feelings that arise, working with colors and symbols, and practicing art therapy and feng shui while following natural cycles of change.
Mirrors transformation, where change happens slowly and naturally.
Connects with sustainability and conscious living.
When upcycling, we do not force fabric, color, or texture into something it is not. We allow the materials to guide the creation naturally through reshaping, just as we allow awareness to expand rather than controlling thoughts.
You may view DURGA’s upcycled designs created through art therapy, such as:
Rare Bohemian Goddess Dress: A stunning reimagining of vintage fabrics with serpentine detailing, symbolizing rebirth and empowerment.
Snake Pullover: A wearable meditation, with hand-knitted snakes in purple hues and Kundalini Rising Coat in Amsterdam Kokopelli shop and gallery: A vibrant celebration in fuchsia of the serpent’s energy, representing awakening and bold creativity.
Each design is handcrafted artistry, sustainable, repurposed slowly with conscious creation at its heart.
A year of deep transformation
This year asks us to move with being present, pausing and not by forcing control but by practicing release. Irritations and anger may cause a bite! The Snake does not rush, nor does it fight against itself: it waits, it observes, it allows transformation to unfold naturally.
Through Higher Consciousness Energy Hypnosis, Yin Yoga, Cosmoenergy healing, and one-on-one transformational retreats, 2025 is an opportunity to shed limitations, enjoy intuition and intuitive decision-making, heal deeply by releasing illusions.
How will you embrace the wisdom of the Wood Snake?
Wish you a truly healthy and peaceful year of the Serpent with plenty of Kundalini shakes 🐍
