"So, lastly one of the more subtle ways to raise the Shui in your home is to actually use scent. And, obviously, there are a lot of ways to do that. One thing is to get incense and to light that and to have that going on in your environment. It can be calming and refreshing to have some incense going, so that's one way. Let that smolder a little bit. The other way is a scented candle, obviously, and that actually is twofold -- like you've seen in the other clips. It's going to create life force with the light and the fire, but while it burns and it's giving off a scent, that's going to add to the Shui as well. Then, lastly, just these scent sticks. They're sitting in some scented oil and they're absorbing the oil and giving off that scent. So, if there's an area, say, you know, in your home, like, the bathroom, where maybe some of these other cures we've talked about isn't going to work, something like this, incense, scent sticks, candles, that would be a great place to use that and raise the Shui in your home using scent. One last little nugget for you about raising the Shui in your home and scent is the orange. For some reason, this is a fruit that's used commonly in Feng Shui in various ways. Obviously, it has does have a scent -- it smells like an orange. So, you can just have oranges around and they have a great energy to them and just the color and the vibration of them. The other thing is, often times, just the orange peels are used for more trends in dental cures. You would take nine pieces of orange peel and put them in a bowl of water. And that can be used for water that's then blessed in a way and you would then sort of sprinkle that water around an area that is stagnant in your home. So, this is one of those more sort of trends in dental cures that doesn't necessarily make much sense to us, but it is something that's been done for thousands of years."
