是不是活的够久，就一定会对玄学/形而上学（metaphysics）感兴趣呢？ 我想是的哈哈。 我的听友们不仅很可爱，还有老灵魂呢（just like me haha）. Enjoy still!

The new year has come, and even though in fact the first days in 2023 scientifically should be no different from the last days of 2022, still, humans just have the instinct(or it's an implanted belief?) that a new year automatically ushers in something new. That is why we usually make new-year resolutions. But according to experience, we will quickly meet some difficulties and the feeling of failure, anxiety, helplessness will creep back. So here in this episode, I've put in three mantras to hopefully help you guys achieve a calmer state of mind and therefore to have a happy and successful year ahead of you. Much love from Niki.

On this October Rainy day, finally felt the right energy to answer these questions. Feeling down, feeling small. These energies are shared by all humans. Thank y'all for trusting me and sharing with me your feelings and emotions. Hope that my answers provide you with warmth and courage.

I've been meaning to make a meditation audio for a while. Upon your request, 就先做了这个晚安冥想。 Good night and have the best sleep! For best listening experience大家可以下载音频然后在音响上播放（因为背景的一些鸟叫声耳机上可能会更明显一些）。

嘿呀，又来搞一个Ask me anything 吧！ 大家在评论区提问即可！~ 也可以留言啦你想跟我说的都可以留言嘻嘻：）

Language. The tool we use on a daily basis, so familiar with it that we forget to look at different aspects of it. Therefore, sometimes we fall prey to the dark side of it, sad enough, huh? So pls join me in this episode and see what we should know before we more skilfully use this tool. This is a long episode, enjoy still and don't forget to leave me comments ：）

As years go by, I actually have developed a keen interest in Chinese culture and philosophies. 可能就是作为中国人的血脉觉醒？ 总之，for lots of our modern problems, 中华智慧有答案。 See for yourself.

Some reflections upon the coming of the new year. The spirit is, no matter what happens--good or bad, the game of life goes on. Choose the perspective of abundance, and choose the action that will make the infinite game meaningful and fulfilling. Happy new year y'all!

众生皆苦。 Thus, it does not make sense for us to seek for total avoidance of pain; instead, when pain inevitably hits, we should first try to find peace with it, and then see if we can learn anything from it and come out of it being even stronger and mentally tougher. On the other hand, if we have not yet developed any constructive perception towards it, we might wallow in the pain and get drowned in the bitter sea of our own making. Choose.

一阵秋风，一曲浪漫，就有了这集的灵感。 With years coming by actually the concept of romance for me is more and more dissociated from the idea of having a partner. It's more like a state of being, a form of vibe, something that you don't encounter, but create. 聊了聊发现自己心目中的浪漫貌似非常接近self-care, 啊！such a revelation, and such a relief. 听得好的课代表还是在评论区整理7件浪漫之事吧，mua!

最近玫瑰的故事很火，我也看了这部剧。 其中玫瑰在第一段和第二段感情中，自己的情绪反应并不被看见，更不被理解。深深共情了她，然后就有了这集。 稍微聊了下社会中女性的困境，同时这何尝又不折射出一些男性的困境呢(in a different way though). p.s. 录这集的时候在喝酒，如有口齿不清请见谅嘿嘿（and I'm not sorry about it）
