Some of you may have already started doing
spring cleaning, and for those who don't have any issue anymore (or at all) when it comes
to clutter or even feng shui, but still have a certain uneasy feeling at home, you might
want to double-check if you have any of the following 13 unlucky things that shouldn't
be in your home. If you do and you're quite certain that the
bad feeling is coming from those, then consider donating or selling or disposing them. This
list is based on a combination of feng shui and old folks' superstitions from around the
world, and it's up to your personal belief system if you believe in them or not. 1. Old empty furniture If they're still regularly used, it's ok to
keep them. If they hold some sentimental value, double-check if you can overhaul and reuse
or repurpose them into something you can regularly use now such as transforming an old table
into a bench for instance. If not, these are the things you must donate
or sell immediately. Old empty furniture such as rocking chairs, crib and cabinets that
have been left unused especially for more than a decade may invite evil spirits into
them and into your home. If the rocking chair rocks on its own even
without any strong wind blowing, then a malicious spirit is already there, and instead of donating
or selling it, burn or get rid of it immediately! For baby crib, only put one in your home after
a baby is born and never have it delivered in your home early. If you're keeping one
for your next baby, consider dismantling it for now and keeping it in a safe place until
your next baby is born. Doing so not only saves space, it can help prevent your son
or daughter from having a suspicious unseen friend as well. For old empty cabinets, if you can't dismantle
and repurpose them especially the built-in ones, consider calling a priest to check and
bless the room it's in and your home afterwards. For non-Christians, you may use a bell, gong
or sage instead to clear any unwanted spirits that may be lingering there. To be on a safer
side, let some light regularly shine through it afterwards by hiring someone who can safely
remove the cabinet doors and install more shelving units, so you can use it as an ordinary
built-in book shelf instead. 2. Broken light fixtures & mirrors Though fixing broken items in general is highly
encouraged, when it comes to light fixtures and mirrors, properly dispose them as soon
as you can. Never attempt to fix them, else you won't only risk cutting yourself, any
flickering lights and broken mirrors and glass invite bad spirits in them. Replace them with
a new one as soon as you can. 3. Old Broom If you're moving in a new home, never bring
an old and used broom. Aside from that being unhygienic since doing so may transfer dust
and grime from wherever that broom was previously used, it is also considered bad luck since
it transfers any residual negative energy it tried to sweep away from the old place
and into your new home. Buy a brand new broom in your new home, and make sure that you only
sweep during day time, never at night if possible, so you won't sweep away any good luck coming
in. 4. Cobwebs Speaking of sweeping and brooms, make sure
to clean your place regularly especially the corner floors and ceilings. Sweep away any
cobwebs because they promote stagnation since, like clutter, they block good energy or chi
from freely flowing around your home. If your home is infested by spiders, consider
getting a pest exterminator. Though relatively harmless compared to cockroaches and mice
(except if you have arachnophobia-- don't worry, I won't show any real life spiders
in this video since I don't like them too), they invite difficulties or entrapments in
relationships, and if one crawls or falls near you especially right infront of your
face, be warned. A fight or emotional difficulty might happen or come soon. In some cultures, spiders are considered protection
against psychic attack and curses and if you feel comfortable or if you love them, then
you may ignore this warning. But since spiders also represent an unbalanced female energy--
especially the man-hating kind, it may throw off your own sense of balance and feel trapped
or more prone to emotional outbursts. So you may choose to use other means of protection
instead such as quartz crystals, a much cuter pet like a dog or an animal familiar like
a cat, or simply praying. 5. Negative imagery or artwork Displaying a painting or photograph depicting
depression or insanity, or even disasters like natural ones or man-made like shipwreck
in the ocean or war is considered unlucky even in feng shui because doing so invites
a similar kind of vibe and may bring distress or discord in your home. The same thing goes for displaying images
depicting death such as taxidermy or weaponry. You don't have to totally get rid of them
though especially if they're part of your personal collection or family heirloom. But
you may relocate them to a special room that may also serve as a home-based gallery and
give a special kind of reverence to them instead of simply putting them in common or personal
area in your home such as the living room and bedroom, and disrupting your relationships
and even your sleep. If you have the choice to avoid them, please
do so, and choose to display artworks that give off happy positive vibes or a peaceful
one instead to promote the same energy within your family. 6. Unmade Bed Though there's a certain study that leaving
your bed unmade before you leave your home is better since it leaves your bedsheet and
blanket to dry up any moisture it got while you sleep, and minimizes risk of getting bed
bugs and mites, a better option would be to open the curtains and let the morning sunlight
dry your sheets up, and still make your bed every morning. Leaving your bed unmade can psychologically
affect you since it reinforces the same state in your mind. Doing so also leads to a poor
night's sleep which may worsen over time until you tidy up your bed. There's a reason why
making one's bed every morning along with other little things is also part of military
training-- it doesn't only cultivate self-discipline and gives a great feeling of accomplishment
which sets the tone for the day, it is believed that if ever a day gets so filled with badluck
or misery, at least going home to a neat and clean bed can comfort you and give you a feeling
that hey, not everything is bad and hopeless. Just get a good night's sleep and try again
the next day. But before you sleep though, double-check
this first.. 7. Loose wires and tangled cords It's kinda similar to the logic of having
an unmade bed, but you need to be extra careful with this because lose wires and tangled cords
are both safety hazards. Cover them up with a tape on the floor if
they're running across areas in your home with lots of foot traffic such as in between
rooms and corridors to avoid anyone tripping on them. Also call an electrician as soon
as you see lose dangling cords on the wall or when fixing an outlet, and never EVER try
to repair them on your own. Keep those wires organized and make sure that
everyone in the family can easily figure out which wire belong to which electronics or
appliances, so they don't have to untangle them everytime they need to plug or unplug
something. Doing so also makes it easier for everyone to determine if a certain extension
cord or outlet is already overloaded to prevent any fire hazards. 8. Spiky succulents Since water is considered as wealth generating
and not having to regularly water these plants is like preventing the energy of wealth to
freely flow in your home, keeping spiky succulents such as cactus and thorny acacia inside your
home is considered both bad luck and bad feng shui. Similar to negative imagery mentioned earlier,
their spikes may also promote quarrels and other unpleasant feeling within your family. You may choose to put them outside, like in
a garden if you have one, or cultivate an aloe plant infront of your home instead. Aside
from being able to use them to moisturize your skin and improve your hair, aloe plant
is also believed to ward off negative energy from your home. Like the cactus, aloe plant
is also very low maintenance and can withstand hot weather or dry spells. But if it rains more in your place, you may
consider this next one on the list instead... 9. Open umbrella Sometimes we just need to let our umbrellas
open to let them dry before keeping them in our bag or putting them back to an umbrella
stand. But in some cultures, opening an umbrella indoors is considered as unlucky. Not only does doing so may block others from
moving freely inside your home and can also make your floor slippery-- making it an accident
hazard, according to Norse traditions, opening an umbrella indoors is like inviting a storm
or rain in your personal life, attracting emotional turmoil or unwanted drama, similar
to the cobwebs and spiders mentioned earlier. 10. Shoes on the table Never put shoes especially used ones on the
table. Not only is this unhygienic, according to old mining traditions, when a miner dies
in a colliery accident for instance, his family places his shoes on the table as a sign of
respect. If you do the same even if nobody died in your household, it's considered as
inviting death to come and also tempting fate. 11. Broken clocks Similar to putting shoes on the table, keeping
broken clocks especially the grandfather kind is also tempting fate and considered unlucky.
Fix them or replace them immediately before they signal doom. It is believed that if a
broken clock suddenly chimes unexpectedly, someone might get cursed or die in your family. 12. Objects with unknown origin If you've rummaged through a storage bin or
attic and saw something which no one in your family knows where it came from, either dispose
or have it appraised and sell that thing as soon as you can. When buying antique figurines
or furniture for instance, always make sure that you fully know their history, or else
you might be keeping something with a spirit attached in it which may eventually haunt
your home. To be safe, get someone to build a customized
furniture or decor for you, and only buy from reputable shops, or trusted previous owner
if buying second hand items. And lastly... 13. Moths In some cultures, they believe that a large
moth entering your home is a deceased relative visiting you. It's up to you whether you see
that as good or bad, however, if someone in your family is ill for some time-- like a
week or so, seeing a large moth is considered a bad omen and whoever's ill might die soon.
Ensure that the sick family member is well-taken cared for and have a second opinion with another
doctor. Also just shoo that large moth away. Regarding smaller moths, they're actually
considered as pests since the ones found in your kitchen signals that you have rotten
or spoiled food nearby, while the ones found in your closet and laundry area are the ones
responsible to those annoying little holes in your clothes. Take out the trash regularly and
consider using lavender or mint essential oils that highly repel moths and others insects. So has any of you have a personal experience
