Psychic helps flatowners home in on good vibrations

Have you ever walked into a flat and felt strange? Is there a room in your home that just does not feel comfortable? If there is, perhaps you should consult Rosina Arquati, a psychic and healer who performs house blessings.

'When you move into a new flat, it's good to clear all the past energies,' says Rosina, a Hong Kong resident for more than 20 years.

Rosina says it is common for negative energies left by previous tenants to remain in a home, with health problems and bad luck lurking in walls, corners and furniture.

'People spend money to decorate their new homes and make it look nice and comfortable but it is just as important to pay attention to the energies,' says Rosina. She says that even if your new home has never been lived in before, the earth on which it stands could harbour negative energies.

'The land beneath your apartment block can be important too . . . the previous building which was demolished can leave residual energy.' Rosina clears negative energies by using sound (ringing a bell), 'smudging' with smoke from smouldering sage leaves, sprinkling salt and rice and chanting a prayer.

'Just as people consult a fung shui master as to where they want to place their furniture, blessing a house and harmonising the energies is just as important,' she says.
