Lending a favorite necklace or earrings might seem like a kind gesture, but spiritually, jewelry absorbs the energy of its wearer. By lending it, you could be transferring your own energy—or picking up someone else’s.
Better option: If you want to gift jewelry, choose a new piece rather than passing on something with personal significance.
4. Dishes & Cutlery: Carriers of Household Energy
Plates, bowls, and utensils may seem neutral, but they’re thought to hold the energy of the home they come from. Lending or borrowing them could disrupt your household’s harmony, potentially leading to stress, fatigue, or even health issues.
Feng Shui tip: Avoid using chipped or cracked dishes—they’re said to attract bad luck. Time for a kitchen refresh!
5. Clothing (Especially Shoes): More Than Just Fabric
Clothes—particularly those worn close to the body, like shoes—are believed to carry the energy of their wearer. That’s why thrift shoppers are advised to wash secondhand clothes thoroughly and let them sit in sunlight to clear any lingering energy.
Think twice before lending clothes, especially if you’re going through an emotionally sensitive time.
Final Thought: Trust Your Instincts
While these beliefs aren’t scientifically proven, they’ve persisted across cultures for generations. At the end of the day, a little extra caution never hurts.
If you feel uneasy about lending a personal item, listen to that instinct—your intuition knows best!
