Cleaning for Lunar New Year is a Must for Most of the Taoist & Chinese Home, but alot of our dearest Taoists & Chinese forget that, by Cleaning is only a form of Physical Cleaning, actually the Cleaning that a Family needed is the Spiritual Cleansing.

So what is Spiritual Cleansing?

Spiritual Cleansing is a form of Spiritual Cleaning that uses a few Spiritual Method to do the Cleaning of one's Home in-order to eliminate the un-necessary Negative Energies that stayed inside the home before ushering in the New & Positive Lunar New Year.

By performing such Cleansing, one's home will somehow be more Positive and more comfortable to stay in. Another reason for such Cleansing, to invite the Necessary Blessing from Heaven & Deities while oneself & the Family Pay Respect to the Heaven & Deities on the Eve of Lunar New Year.

So what is the Best time for such Cleansing?

Usually I will advised People to perform the Cleansing in the Afternoon straight after Paying Respect to Deities & Ancestors or before the Whole Family gathered for the Reunion Dinner.

So what are the Spiritual Cleansing Methods?

Here are a few recommended ones:

1) Using Yin-Yang Water & Five Color Flowers (陰陽水及五色花)

2nd, choose 5 Color Flowers (best not to use White or withered Flower)
3rd, Throw the Flowers into the Yin-Yang Water and placed there for about 5-15 minutes, this is to allow the Energies from the surrounding to Settle into the Water
4th, Clean the Whole House starting from the Main Door, clean it inward till you reach the Toilet
5th, Retrieve the Flowers and Throw them into your Plant-pots or pack them up in a plastic bag and throw them under the Trees

2) Using Yin-Yang Water & Pomelo or Promegrante Leaves (陰陽水及柚子葉/石榴葉)
