Fruitful Feng Shui Tips For A Happy New Year
Soon, the New Year is going to step inside your house. Some feng shui tips on good dining and balanced food includes the following:
Skip the rice or oat porridge for breakfast, as both kinds of food are linked with the staple food for the poor. Eating rice translates into a loss of wealth. Thus, a good breakfast would be fruit, according to fengshuiweb.co.
Also avoid meat during breakfast so that vegetarian gods, who arrive on the Chinese New Year Day festival, do not freak out.
You could add mostly round fruits to your dining table on the eve of the New Year, in order to give a call to prosperity and good luck, says a feng shui practitioner, Hanz Cua. There are 12 "lucky" fruits that are symbolic of every month of the year. Anything from money, luxury, happiness and good health are spelt by them, according to abs-cbnnews.com.
Let's take a look at the fruits and what they mean:
1. Pineapple: Now this one translates into "ong-lai," in Chinese, meaning "fortune cones."
2. Orange: This one is round, for those who haven't heard. Round means money, and 'orange' spells gold in Chinese tradition.
3. Apple: The Chinese word for an apple is "ping," which translates into "harmony."
4. Grapes: This fruit spells luxury. Grapes are eaten traditionally by royalty.
5. Banana: This is a cluster fruit. It is a symbol of unity, and its yellow colour says "happiness".
6. Mango: This is one sweet fruit, which signifies strong family ties.
7. Lemon: A fragrant fruit, whose essence will clean out negative energies, maybe even removing them.
8. Watermelon: This fruit is a symbol of prosperity. Its multiple seeds translate into abundance.
9. Papaya: This fruit is just like the orange, and represents gold in Chinese.
