Every year, as Qing Ming approaches, I hear many people saying, “Be careful… there are ghosts during Qing Ming.” Some Feng Shui masters even warn of negative energy during this period. But today, I want to say this clearly:

Qing Ming is not about ghosts. It’s about gratitude.

It is a sacred time to remember those who came before us. To honor our ancestors. To understand that we are who we are today because of the sacrifices, values, and love of those who came before us.

The Real Energy of Qing Ming

From a Feng Shui perspective, Qing Ming is a time when the Yin and Yang energies are most clearly felt.

Not because ghosts walk the earth, but because the veil between the past and present thins — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.

It is a time to:

• Reflect.

• Offer thanks.

• Reconnect with your roots.

• Restore harmony between the living (Yang) and those who have passed (Yin).

We visit graves not because of fear, but out of *respect. We clean their resting places not just to remove dust, but to honor their presence. We burn offerings not to “send money,” but to *express remembrance and gratitude.

Values Are the Real Inheritance

Many people think the ritual ends when the incense finishes burning. That once a year, we remember our parents or ancestors and that is enough.

But I believe otherwise.

What matters most is not just praying, but remembering what they stood for. The values they held. The life lessons they taught us—sometimes not with words, but through actions.

Those values are our true inheritance.
And values are meant to last.

My Personal Regret

I want to share something deeply personal.

Years ago, I was busy working every day. Helping clients. Running appointments. Building a name. I told myself I was doing it for my family.

One day, my father called me. He said he had a headache.

Just 30 minutes later, he went into a coma.

I didn’t get to say goodbye. I wasn’t there in his final moments.
And until today, I live with that regret.

I had all the time in the world for clients… but I didn’t make time for him.

And now, the only thing I can do is hold onto the values he taught me:

• To be kind to others.

• To be respectful.

• To stay humble.

That’s why Qing Ming means so much to me. It reminds me not only of what I’ve lost, but of what I still carry.

If Your Parents Are Still Alive, You Are Lucky

You still have the chance many of us no longer have.

Don’t wait until they’re gone to feel pain. Don’t let your love be expressed only after they’ve left. Spend time with them now. Appreciate them while you still can.

This coming *Mother’s Day, don’t just get a gift — *give your presence.

Spend time. Bring her out. Make memories.
Because one day, that time will mean more than anything money can buy.

A Final Feng Shui Thought

In Feng Shui, energy flows where intention goes.
When we remember our parents, visit them, honor them — that energy becomes a blessing in our lives.

It brings stability, grounding, and protection.

Gratitude is one of the strongest positive energies.

And when it comes from the heart — not just ritual — it realigns the energy of your entire life.

Take this Qing Ming not as a superstitious event, but as a sacred opportunity.
To reconnect. To reflect. To realign.
And most of all, to remember what truly matters.

If you still have your parents with you, you are truly blessed.
Don't waste the chance.

 

Let this Qing Ming be your moment to pause and reflect.
Spend time with your loved ones, share stories of your ancestors, and cherish every moment.

Share this message with someone you care about — let’s spread gratitude, not fear.
