What is your feng shui advice for people who have cremation remains in their house?
It is amazing how many times this subject has come up with both pets and human cremation remains. It is usually a very touchy and very personal subject when I have to discuss the topic. But, from a feng shui standpoint, I believe that it is better that the remains be spread somewhere outside of the home. Now, that advice usually comes with a long conversation, so if it sounds harsh, then perhaps the timing is not quite right and you are not ready to let go. But someday there will be a time when it feels necessary or acceptable. The memories of the person or pet are not held in the box, they are held in your heart and soul so letting the ashes go will not lessen the impact of the experiences you had. Some people say they don’t want to know what I think about having cremation remains in the house when they read my book and find out my feelings about dead flowers. So, I say to them, to be gentle with themselves and know that perhaps it is not time yet for them to let go for some reason. B
