Many
traditional cultures have a ceremony to bless a new home. Although
it is most appropriate to be done when moving into a new space,
it is never too late to bless and honor the places where you spend
your life.
In
the Tibetan Black Sect tradition of Feng Shui, a site blessing
ceremony is used to dispel negative energy, sow seeds of auspiciousness
into the new space, and to raise the chi, or energy, of the home
or workplace. This is accompanied by a visualization to insure
the well being, happiness and good fortune to all who may reside
or work there.
Payment for a site blessing is given in 9 red envelopes, which
is the traditional way of honoring a teacher in the Chinese tradition.
