4. Can the homeowner perform the house blessing themselves?
Can homeowners perform house blessing themselves in 2022?. In modern life, house blessing has become much more flexible. Therefore, many families no longer prioritize hiring a house blessing person. If they cannot find a suitable person or choose a compatible house blessing age for 2022, homeowners can bless their own house. To perform the house blessing, homeowners need to go outside to pick auspicious plants at the beginning of the year. When the moment of New Year's Eve arrives, they will bring the plants back home.
5. When is the best time to perform house blessing?
According to Feng Shui house blessing practices, the best time to bless the house is from the moment of New Year's Eve until the morning of the 1st day of the Lunar New Year, when no one has visited your house yet. The house blessing person will bring red envelopes or some Lunar New Year gifts to offer the homeowner, dress neatly and politely, and spend about 10 - 15 minutes at your house wishing you a prosperous New Year. After that, the homeowner will give red envelopes back to receive blessings for the new year.
