Feng Shui Questions
What are the steps to follow when moving house?
Here are the recommended steps.
- Select a auspicious date and time to move. This date should take into consideration the birth dates of the family members.
- At the appointed day and time, and just before entering, proclaim ownership of the house or say a prayer based on your religious belief.
- If you have an altar, locate and position it and perform the necessary religious rites.
- Open all the doors and windows.
- Switch on the lights, air-conditioner and/or heater in the house.
- Let the water taps run for a few minutes.
- Move your stuff into the house.
- Boil a kettle of water and make some beverages.
- Switch on the radio, CD or TV to create some 'Yang" energy.
- Cook a meal for family members and helpers
- Sleep overnight.
You may also 'cleanse' the house by sprinkling a mixture of rice and salt at
all the corners.
Please note that it is inauspicious to move house when there is a pregnant woman
in the family. If you must move then she should not be present.
You can move new stuff such as your brand new fridge into the house
earlier than the appointed date and time but existing stuff such as you favorite
bed and PC should only move in on the designated date and time or later.
And please remember to be nice to each other, say good things and do not get
into a quarrel!
