Clean your home
Chef Wong also suggests cleaning the entire house, especially kitchenware, for the new year. It s important to welcome the new year looking clean and fresh, he said. Every year just before the Chinese New Year, we do a deep cleanse of the house, purging our home of items that we no longer use or need and donating them to a charity, said Akashic guide and mentor Coco Chan. We deep clean the house physically and energetically to transmute any old energies from the previous year. Just make sure to get it all done before the first day of the holidays, as cleaning during the actual new year is said to bring bad luck! This sets the stage for us to welcome in any new year energies with abundance and clarity.
