Dear subscribers and readers,
Happy reading!Are you aware of sharp edges pointing at you?
If you take some time to look around you, your house, or just anywhere, you are sure to notice that there are sharp edges pointing in every direction. What’s important is that we don’t want them to be pointing directly at us, at our bed, at our desk, or at our main door.
If you were invited to a friend’s house for dinner, and you were seated at a place where a sharp edge is pointing at you; don’t panic! This is just temporary and will not do you any harm. However, if the edge of a square pillar in your home is pointing at your angle where you sit daily, then you should be more concerned. Other examples can be like the corner of your dining table, the edge of your colleague’s table, a neighbor’s roof, etc., etc.
Here are some tips to avoid and smoothen these sharp pointing edges or arrows:
- use table cloth to cover up the corners;
- round up the sharp edges;
- place a green plant or a solid object;
- hang a beautiful painting;
- cover it with a reflective material like mirrors, provided the surrounding is beautiful;
- wrap it with soft materials with beautiful colors;
- if it’s a pillar, you could replaster it to make it a round column;
- this list is not exhaustive.
You can be very creative here as long as it shields off these sharp pointing edges/arrows. If you have other creative ideas, I would be glad to hear from you.
What about the toilets or WCs?
As a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with the toilets or WCs as far as Feng Shui is concerned. Why you would asked… yet there are so many Feng Shui practitioners who say that toilets bring sha qi (bad energy)?
You see, in the ancient times, toilets are built outside of a Chinese home, so toilets are never included in a Feng Shui audit LOL ! Nowadays, the toilets are built in the house or in a living quarter for our comfort. So what should we do? Keep the toilet lid down; close the door; keep it spic and span, then we don’t have to worry about our toilets. These are not Feng Shui cures, but simple common sense and for aesthetic reasons.
About Chinese calendars…
There are two types of calendars that Chinese people use quite frequently. The Lunar Calendar is most popular because the traditional celebration of the Chinese new year is based on this calendar. As the name suggests, it follows the moon cycles. It has twelve months with twenty-nine or thirty days, making a total of 354 or 355 days. A leap month is introduced approximately every three years since there is a difference of about eleven days compared to the Gregorian calendar.
