White Angelica During The Hungry Ghost Festival.

White Angelica During The Hungry Ghost Festival.

Some of us love to use Abundance essential oil during the Lunar Chinese New Year for abundant happiness, health and wealth, I use White Angelica essential oil to repel negative feelings and strengthen my aura.

August 3, 2016 was Day 1 of the 7th month in the lunar calendar. The Hungry Ghost Festival, which we Chinese believe is a time where ghosts and spirits, including that of our ancestors, would be allowed to visit the living descendants for the entire lunar month. We pay homage by praying and preparing offerings. During this month, burning of incense papers, joss sticks and placing of offerings at the side of the roads or pavement is a common sight. Do be patient with us as this is part of our religion. For the rest of us, please try to leave as little trace as possible. Racial harmony rocks!

I started the day with by diffusing White Angelica in the house. Call me superstitious but I do love the smell of White Angelica. It's a blend of Myrrh, Bergamot, Sandalwood, Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Hyssop, Melissa, Rose and Angelica. It will attract positive energy and repels negativity, strengthens your aura and gives you a sense of protection. Who would mind a little more help right?

Funny incident happened that night. After dinner, I accompanied my mother down to the void deck to offer our prayers. We noticed a lot of people gathered as well. Being the busybody that I am, I walked up to the group to find out what happened. It seemed that a blackout had occurred on the other half of the block. Our side of the block was not affected. I told my son we were super lucky, else we would be having dinner in candlelight!

One neighbour of ours made an interesting remark:
"The lights went 'POK' at 8 o'clock! #ScaredDieMe. Today is the first day of the seventh month you know!" All of us couldn't stop laughing.

If you have a sensitive child who suddenly starts to cry in the middle of the night, try swiping a little White Angelica on the shoulders or feet of the child. This is what happened to my super sensitive boy. He is more spiritually aware than us, especially if he is sick. That awareness gave me quite a scare in Desaru. Will share the story another time. I have heard of other mummies commenting their kid wakes up crying or becomes super cranky this week.

Other alternatives include Paolo Santo and Sage (only from Young Living USA). Try it, there's nothing to lose but a good night's sleep.

Happy snoozing!
