Mantras are very powerful and yes, chanting your mantras over them can help ensure that these animals get blessings from you and have a good afterlife or rebirth. If you encounter a dead animal in your house, it is extremely meritorious to regret their death, and perform liberation ritual for them without hesitation or delay. You can chant this mantra: TAYATHA OM BEKHENZAY BEKHENZAY MAHA BEKHENZAY BEKHENZAYRAZA SAMUDGATAY SOHA 21 times over these animals before releasing them (if they are alive) or burying them. You can also chant OM MANI PADME HUM 108 times and blow over Cosmo each day - this will help develop his compassionate side and gradually stop him from killing anymore animals. It is also incredibly beneficial for you and for all animal life in your home to play the Medicine Buddha puja CD all day long; any human, animal or insect that hears it will receive many precious blessings from the cosmic Buddhas and universe!

It is wonderful to have invited these holy Catholic deities and saints into your home. Feng shui does not conflict with religion at all! In fact, feng shui strongly advises that it is truly auspicious to have holy objects in your home - this ties in with the Spiritual Dimension of feng shui - where inviting cosmic spiritual energy into your home brings much auspicious luck indeed, providing both guiding protective energy.

Hence you can enhance your home’s chi with holy objects - just be mindful not to place them in disrespectful locations - e.g. on the floor. Kuan Kung and other Taoist or Buddhist deities are emanations of cosmic beings that also appear in other traditions. For example, some people consider the Our Holy Mother Mary as an emanation of the Tibetan Buddhist Mother Goddess TARA, and many Chinese around the world also believe that Kuan Yin the Goddess of Mercy is an emanation of her.

The most important aspect of inviting deities and statues into the home is that you must feel completely comfortable and happy to invite them home - so only invite them if you feel a strong affinity with them. If they make you feel uneasy, then this is your good feng shui and faith alerting you that perhaps this statue is not meant for your home. Always tune in to your inner instincts when making such decisions.

I’m very glad you asked - as this it is very important to cleanse a home of negative energy before moving in. There is a special ritual for cleansing and purifying bad chi which is best done in the morning. First, use a singing bowl or bell walking clockwise around the rooms - the special ringing sound will clear away negative vibrations. Then to purify the chi and make it auspicious, burn fragrant incense as your circle each room - and in your mind, offer this to the local guardians and spirits of the house asking them to live with you in harmony and to protect you. Ask them to please keep bad people out of your house. If you wish to make the purification more powerful, you can also chant this very special mantra: NAMA SARVA TATAGATHA AVALOKITE OM SAMBARA SAMBARA HUNG 21 times as you are burning this incense. Doing so multiplies the power and really works wonders in clearing away negative energy left by bad people.

f you can, consider postponing these exams. It is unwise to take on such an important exam on days that are inauspicious for you, as the energy forces for that day are pitted against you. However, if you cannot change these dates, then you need to subdue the elements that bring bad luck to you on bad days and conflict days.

Here’s what you do on your conflict day: place a little bit of water in the South, a little soil in the North, a metal coin sword each in the East and SE, a tree branch each in the SW and NE, and a candle (light it up) each in the NW and West. As you place these objects, think in your mind that you are using these elements to remove any bad or inauspicious luck that comes your way from all the eight directions for TODAY. You must remove these objects once the day is over.

It is better to remove both doors and convert that space into a shelf than to leave part of it without glass. This is because feng shui always encourages completeness and anything broken or chipped creates energy that manifests into broken relationships and illness. So either you can replace the door or remove both doors.

The number 3 star rears its ugly head in exactly the way you have described - and because you are born in the year of the Rat, this star becomes doubly problematic for you. Now that you have placed the Dragon correctly, then yes the Bejewelled Dragon will protect you - and because you are Rat-born, and this allegation has already manifested, you need stronger protection than just a small little red dragon.

Hence I recommend you place a LARGE Dragon yielding a FLAMING SWORD in the NORTH and use the colour RED in the NORTH. It can’t be just any Dragon - it needs to be the one that carries a flaming sword - the flames have power to quell the angry energy of the number 3. If you have a light in the North part of your house, keep it turned on all night and visualise this light burning away all these legal problems and false allegations. You should also monitor the Number 3 star monthly - find out from our www.wofs.com site where it flies to each month, and place a second Dragon there.
