All you need is water and some sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Cheetong explains that this year&#8217;s timing is particularly significant because it falls during what he describes as a rare alignment of fire-related elements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s Dragon Boat Festival is very special, and you can make your most powerful holy water [during the festival],\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to him, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, and the month, date, and timing associated with June 19 are all linked to the fire element in traditional Chinese metaphysics.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, he believes the day&#8217;s Yang energy will be especially strong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the Yang energy during this day, June 19, is going to be at the peak, you know, so the 11am to 1pm is when you can produce the most powerful holy water ever,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cheetong says the process is simple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow you do it, is just by taking water that you have, putting it outside, and let it bake in the sun during that time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Once brought back indoors, he believes the water will contain what he describes as pure Yang energy.<\/p>\n<p>Umm\u2026 but with Singapore\u2019s erratic weather, what happens if there is a downpour?<\/p>\n<p>Cheetong replied in the comments section: \u201cEven better! Collecting rainwater is the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For those who haven&#8217;t been revising traditional Chinese philosophy lately, Yang energy is typically associated with warmth, brightness, and male vitality. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, it&#8217;s the energetic opposite of Yin, which is associated with calmness, darkness and stillness<\/p>\n<p>8days.sg has reached out to Cheetong for more information, but have not gotten a response by press time.<\/p>\n<p>Netizens quickly filled the comments section, with many writing that they have bookmarked the date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking how?
