Ghost Festival Taboos
1. Avoid swimming during the 7th month. It
is believed that those previously drowned evil ghost might cause you to drown
in the swimming pool. Such ghost need to find victims in order for them to be
go for rebirth.
2. Avoid moving into new homes and opening
new businesses this month as it is considered inauspicious and bad luck on new
ventures.
3. Avoid getting married during this month
because couples will have bad ending. Some bad ghost may cast a bad spell on
couples during their wedding.
4. Drive very carefully during this month
to avoid accidents, as there may be many wandering spirits who died of
accidents previously that are searching for next victims so that they could be
reincarnated.
5. Avoid spitting and blowing your nose in
the street or at any tree/plant.
6. Do not pick up anything including money
found on the street and never bring it home.
7. Avoid getting emotional and crying in
the middle of the night. A weak, sad and emotional mind gives ghosts the
opportunity to possess you and harm you.
8. Do not whistle after the sun set. This
will attract the attention of ghosts that may stick to you for a long time
giving your a spate of long term bad luck.
Hotel Taboos:
1. Provide a respectful knock on the
bedroom door before you enter for the first time.
2.
Avoid entering the room right away. Whisper to yourself that you are renting
the room to stay temporarily, as a form of asking permission. Let any spirit
leave the bedroom first before you enter.
3.
Place your pair of shoes or sandals facing the door. The shoes must be away
from the bed. One side of the shoe points to the door and the other side point
inwards.
4. Always keep the toilet's door closed
with lights turned off when you go to sleep.
5. Try to avoid facing the mirror when you
sleep. If the mirror is designed in this manner, try to cover it with a towel. (fengshuibestbuy)

Crazy in love: What happens in your brain when you really do have chemistry By Victoria Fletcher
You may wonder why anyone in the throes of an illicit affair would risk their marriage, family and career for the sake of a what may seem like an irrational crush.
But doctors have begun to unravel the mystery of why love can make us giddy, irrational and even ridiculous.
Scanning technology allows neurologists to unearth incredible images of what happens in our brains when we fall in love.
Dumb love: When we are passionate about a person it makes parts of our brain shut down, including the ones controlling fear and judgement
They have mapped the chemical changes that occur and discovered the parts of the brain that activate – and more importantly, the parts that shut down – during the heady days of courtship.
And far from being blissful, they have discovered how it can make us nervous and unstable.
They hope it may also one day reveal why a few of us might overstep the mark when dealing with the object of our affections.
LOVE IS THE DRUG
Studies have shown brain chemical dopamine is at higher levels in those in love. Dopamine is key to our experiences of pleasure and pain, linked to desire, addiction, euphoria, and a surge may cause such acute feelings of reward that it makes love hard to give up.
Tests show that taking opioid drugs such as cocaine have a similar effect on dopamine as love.
A side effect of rising dopamine levels is a reduction in another chemical, serotonin, a key hormone in our moods and appetite.
