CHs LETS DO FENG SHUI! Question! Do you have tips where to place urn inside our home? If you ask this to 10 feng shui experts you will most likely get 10 different answers. However, heres my answer to this. The urn which contains the remains of a family member is of a major yin nature. Ideally it is NOT to be placed INSIDE ones home. What can be allowed (in feng shui) is that it be placed OUTSIDE and AWAY from where folks usually are NOT in the area. They must NOT be located where people work, sleep, play, cook, etc. The balance of yin and yang energies is very important. Upsetting this balance is what causes grief to many. Do note that the reason why there must be a strict balance of energies is because anything that creates too much yin in a yang place will affect not just the present but also those of future generations. Now, if for some reason this cannot be done certain conditions must be generally met. These are not up for any compromises. An area in the EAST part of the place must be set aside for it in the highest part INSIDE the place BUT NOT a storage area like the attic. It also must NOT be inside ones BEDROOM or OFFICE. Obviously it must not be placed inside a comfort room! The place where it will be must not have anything in it related to any living family member. Diplomas, photos, portraits, awards, business licenses, etc. must all be removed from that location. Total cleansing must also be done - wherein strong prayers are recited while doing so. The urn must be sealed in a real wood box that is assembled using iron nails. If nails are not to be used just make sure the box is solid and wont come apart easily. A lid for the box is obviously a must. This box may either be placed on a solid (and real) wood shelf or a solid (and real) wood table set aside just for it. A photo or portrait of the deceased with no reflective surfaces may be placed before the sealed box. It is also allowed to tie a black ribbon on the photo or portrait of the deceased. A candle lit by a match - not by a lighter! - is a must when reciting prayers for the deceased. Obviously blow out the candle after! It is also critical to note that nothing of the yang nature be ongoing when such prayers for the dead is being done. That means turn off the radio, TV, computer, stop gossiping, etc. Ideally such distractions must be removed from the area. Placement of the boxed urn must be done during the early part of the day just as the sun rises. Artificial lighting for the area must be of the warm variety. It cannot be anything of the white, cool or florescent lighting kind. It is also important to take note of how things fare since the urn is placed. If things turn for the worse then changes must be applied including the option of relocating the urn elsewhere and outside of the house. FYI. Please note that these is but a general guide. Ideally a thorough and professional consultation is required for a more detailed guide.
