Introduction
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to cause quite a concern for many people. This is especially true for families who have young children, senior members, or those who are dealing with health conditions that make them more vulnerable to the adverse effects of getting the infection.
To reduce the chances of bringing the coronavirus inside their homes, many people have gotten into the habit of practicing safety measures whenever they leave their houses and once they return from work or doing grocery shopping, for example. At the same time, there are also those who augment their safety and hygiene regimen with practices that can help them attract good energy and maintain a clear mind and cheerful environment while they’re staying at home with the rest of the family for extended periods.
People who believe in and practice Feng Shui also use the system to this end. Uncle Dixer has received inquiries from those who want to keep their homes as safe as possible using Feng Shui. Here’s what he has to say about the matter.

Also, give your house a thorough spring clean. Throw away or store away all the things you don’t need. Cook at home instead of eating out or buying take-outs.
