Use it to free yourself from physical, mental emotional & spiritual clutter.

WHAT IS IT?

Feng Shui is the art of balancing and harmonizing the flow of natural energies in your surroundings to create beneficial effects in your life. Feng Shui can help create sacred space in your home and helps letting go of fear.

Everything that happens in a room is recorded in the walls, floors, furniture and objects that live in there. Your surroundings mirror your inner self, including your living space, so clearing "clutter" or "stuck energy" can transform your entire existence. It can change possibilities in your life and allow CHI (universal energy flow) to flow harmoniously.

3 main causes of "stuck energy":

1. Physical grime: dirt, dust, grease.
2. Predecessor energy: energy of previous occupants are recorded in walls, floors, furniture, objects.
3. Clutter: creates obstacles to the smooth flow of energy. It stagnates your own energy flow. People can become depressed or procrastinators. For some, clutter is a sense of security.

"Clutter" is further defined as:

• Things you don't use.
• Things that are disorganized.
• Too many things in a crowded space.
• Anything unfinished.

Prosperity - create more abundance in life.

Health - better mental & physical health, more focused.

Career - able to get a job you love.

Friends - have more support in your life instead of going it alone.

START SMALL: getting started is the hardest. Once you begin, it will release more energy to enable you to continue. Make a list of clutter zones. Start with small areas. You will feel SOOO good!! Keep in mind, if you were to move tomorrow & had more than 2 bags of garbage, than you have some sorting to do right now.

• Main Entrance - keep clutter from behind the doors. Doors should open fully (no clothes hanging behind them or in front of them).
• Junk Drawers - designate one drawer to throw things in.
• Junk Room - tidy & organize what is stored in there.
• Attics - clean up years of accumulation; can turn into an office or art studio.
• Bedrooms - should not be a dumping ground for clothes, etc. Looking for romance? Keep under the bed clutter-free so Chi can flow. Change bed sheets regularly keep energy fresh & vital.
• Dressing Tables - Clear clutter off so you can think clearly and freshly at the start of the day. It's usually first thing you see upon waking up.
• Kitchen - clear out cupboards, freezer and refrigerator by not shopping until it's nearly empty.
• Living Room - make it as inviting as possible. It's often the first place that people enter into the home.
• Closets - donate ill fitting or rarely worn clothing. Buy yourself something new that fits. Make yourself feel good now; love yourself as you are.
• Bathrooms - organize and/or dispose of cosmetics, toiletries. Too much makes room hard to clean.
• Vehicles - home of portable clutter; if you find yourself apologizing to others for the way it looks, clean it up.
