Usher peace and prosperity into your homes this Year of the Water Rabbit

Published Jan 22, 2023 12:01 am

As we celebrate the Lunar New Year today, Jan. 22, 2023, let the Water Rabbit usher in peace, prosperity and good luck into your homes.

A symbol of longevity, refinement, and peace, rabbits want to stay in good contact with everyone. This should bring good news as it somehow sends an assurance that harmony and tranquility will rule their homes this year.

In fact, many feng shui practitioners consider 2023 as an ideal time to rebuild relationships, rekindle ties, and form new friendships. Since the Water Rabbit is a peach blossom star, known to bring energy tied with romance, 2023 is predicted to bring love, calmness, and order in many relationships.

To help enhance luck and good fortune in your home, here are some practical tips from trusted property developer Sta. Lucia Land, a company that is committed to deliver developments that would enable families and individuals to continuously thrive and experience love, peace, and calmness.

Declutter and clean

As you enter a new phase, it is only practical to remove and throw out things that no longer spark joy. As many feng shui practitioners would advise, put away things with bad energy — those that came from break-ups, a miserable job, or an unfortunate gathering.

When you clean and declutter, make sure you only leave stuff that define your current state and lifestyle. Make sure to get rid of the excess baggage and leave room for a new hobby or interest that brings you joy. Sta. Lucia Land believes that your living space must always allow good energy to flow and carry elements that are functional and practical.

Pick a good location

According to feng shui principles, a house located on a high place is auspicious as this enables the best flow of energy. The lot must be square or rectangular in shape and must have an open area in front of the dwelling. Avoid dead-ends, cul de sac, or T-junctions as these will hinder the flow of energy.

Sotogrande Baguio is one of Sta. Lucia’s latest projects seen to offer residents and guests the best that the Summer Capital has to offer.

Baguio, for example, is one of the ideal places to purchase a vacation or retirement home. Perched on a mountain top with lush pine trees as your surroundings, Baguio also serves as a quick getaway from the noise of the metro.

Greens, air, and light

Plants and bright colored flowers exude life and positive energy thus making your living space feel cozy and welcoming. Moreover, greens like fortune trees and jade plants are also said to attract good fortune. Meanwhile, light and air are two essential elements that attract positive energy.

Residencia de Vistamar in Mactan allows one to revel in the tranquil, natural beauty of Cebu, while enjoying its amenities and facilities.

As such, Sta. Lucia Land builds its communities with generous, lush open spaces that would allow residents to commune with nature, as evident in its many communities that either have beaches, farms, man-made lakes, or well-manicured fairways and golf courses. As many studies have shown, fresh air and nature can do wonders for your health as these would allow you to be more productive, happier, healthier, and calmer.
