A heart unbridled in freedom, a journey embarked upon at a mere utterance.
As more and more young souls embrace this way of life,
Traditional taboos must also be etched into their hearts.
When venturing afar, absent the protective aura of a permanent abode,
Safety, after all, eclipses all else in importance.
So, what Feng Shui taboos should traveling friends be mindful of?
Below, the celestial master shall elucidate upon simple Feng Shui do’s and don’ts:
1. **Photography**
Endeavor not to capture photographs directly facing Buddha statues within temples. Avoid taking pictures with ancient sites such as tombs, graveyards, old houses, ancient trees, and other aged landscapes. Most importantly, never stand directly beneath a pagoda, lest you invoke a sense of suppression. While traveling, avoid places with chaotic magnetic fields.
2. **Journeys**
Refrain from posing with ancient artifacts or sitting on furniture that once graced emperors or was worn by eunuchs. If one possesses a heavy Yin energy or is pregnant, it’s advisable to steer clear of places with disordered magnetic fields (such as areas surrounded by high-voltage power lines) or excessively Yin environments (such as secluded palaces overgrown with weeds).
3. **Accommodation**
Upon entering a hotel room, it’s recommended to knock on the door first, pause after opening it, and then enter. Upon entering, illuminate the room immediately by turning on all lights. Regardless of whether you intend to watch television or use the bathroom, turn on the television and faucet briefly to listen to the sounds, allowing Yang energy to permeate the entire space. If the room’s energy feels particularly dim and chaotic, open all available cabinets to facilitate air circulation. It’s advisable to keep a small lamp lit at night. The rationale behind these practices is self-evident.
4. **Personal Aura**
Lastly, and most crucially, is your own aura. Righteousness overpowers malevolence. If your aura is strong and virtuous, external influences will find it hard to affect you. Carry a crystal bowl to purify the magnetic field, or wear a string of obsidian in your right hand to ward off evil spirits. These are simple and practical methods.
Keep these aforementioned Feng Shui travel taboos in mind,
With a heart set on chasing dreams,
Set forth!
