Superstitions and Taboos

1. In my opinion, most of us don't feel comfortable with pests coming into our homes.. especially since they are suddenly attracted to your home. 2. A few months ago, a client who went to my one of my talks, call me to her home to do a Feng Shui. She was equally concerned as her home is always "plagued" with cochroaches! And she asked, why? 3. Her situation certainly would be different from yours, as her apartment is right above a typical Chinese coffee-shop. And she mentioned cockroaches are more prevalent in the day and afternoon. 4. Here, what I believed was that, during day-time when the coffee shop is operating, it can be very warm, uncomfortable (heat) from cooki…

Hi I ve done a Chinese zodiac tattoo to cover up on my left back arm tattoo with the original tattoo that comes with the Chinese character 重 under a red spider lily, with the other side of my arm 生 under a lotus flower. In short, I only do a cover up on my left, I did not want to be over suspicious but can't help to think it might be the cause of the cover up tattoo design (new design is a snake head facing the left side of the spider lily). What happen after one week when my tattoo healed, I began hearing sound, strangely only on my left ear too. I became paranoid but never think is the tattoo issues.

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, we do not have the luxury of a separate study room. Thus for many of us, our bedroom doubles-up as a study room. 2. The practical approach is to organise or keep our bedroom neat and tidy at all times to create a good ambience for both rest and work. 3. For Feng Shui, it is good to face your "fu wei" but we also have to take into consideration the room layout as well as sunlight. 3.1 For example, if our bedroom window face the afternoon sun (west) directly, and if we often use the bedroom to study in the afternoon, than it may not be too good an idea to sit facing the window (even if this is our fu wei) direction - unless we can somehow control …

1. In my opinion, scientifically, so long as the "disease" is not contagious - spread thru air, then frankly, there is no scientific basis other than what you had mentioned based more on a "taboo". 2. It makes more sense to say to that it would be most likely the concern that such impressions or a sudden situation e.g. someone having a heart problem or in some cases, some people "foam thru their" mouth prior to death. 3. Thus, we do not inadvertenly want to "scar" someone so young with such "a horrible" - painful situation endured by others. 4. stand by dentures all these are merely "old folk" theories, that's all.
