Clarity Begins at Home
Simple and effective Feng Shui practices to welcome new energy and opportunities.
“The Clutter of a room and the Clutter of the Soul are intrinsically connected.”
Throughout our lives we all gather and collect things. As someone who has twice put all her “stuff” in storage for a couple of years, I have been shocked at how most of the stuff I stored no longer fit with who I am now nor did it align with the direction I was headed in life.
Would it surprise you to learn that those surrounded by a lot of clutter often feel overwhelmed like they are drowning and struggle to bring order in?
There is a direct correlation between our environment and our mindset. Feng Shui, and clutter clearing particularly is a tool that has a direct influence on your well-being and quality of life.
The areas of a home that are particularly important and correlate to specific energy and your life are:
- Your front door / main entrance. (Your antenna to the universe that says pick me)
- Your bedroom. (The space that supports your mental and physical well-being and personal relationships)
- Your working space / study / office.
- Your personal gua sector. You can find yours in your chart here
- Kitchen.
Some tips to help you: Before you start ‘decluttering’, ask yourself Where do I vision myself in the future? Quantum physics teaches us that no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. A thorough decluttering is going to create space for new life, new energy, and new opportunities to come in! Are you ready?
- Understand the difference between storage and clutter.
- Never have anything blocking your entranceway. Keep it as wide, open, and clear as possible. Nothing should impede the inside and outside of the entrance to allow the flow of energy.
- Evaluate necessity vs. sentimentality in your possessions. Consider how much stuff do you need? How many memories of an occasion or person do you need? 100? 10? Many people inherit furniture and Knick knacks from family and are inadvertently burdened and unable to move forward in their own life.
- Repair what’s broken.
- Let go of what you don’t use. (Note that “I might need this, just in case, or I paid so much for this” are signs of a lack or scarcity mindset that can hold you back).
- Assess each item’s value and take everything out of a closet or drawer or room. Look at each piece and consider the following: Do I love it?Does this bring joy? Do I use it? Is it useful? Not sure? Items that you are unsure of can be store temporarily by putting in storage for 6 months and then revisit.
- Your art and walls are your personal vision board. Do the images you have on the wall bring you joy? Do they represent your future? They are your intentions subconsciously and vibrationally that you are putting out into the universe. Choose the images or objects for your focus wisely. They are your instructions to the universe. You have the choice to live in the past, present or future.
I regularly hear stories from clients who have manifested amazing “opportunities” after decluttering, such as a new job, a new relationship, travel and weight loss, improved health, and even a baby, just by doing a thorough and intentional clutter clear.
Is there more involved to good, or should I say, excellent Feng Shui? Yes. Further Feng Shui practices involve analyzing the exterior environment of your home and compass formulas to elevate and improve the quality of energy in the different sectors of your home. We then align your energy to the specific energies you are hoping to bring into your life. The potential for Magic happens. However, regardless of formula, if you have clutter in your space, Qi is unable move and circulate.
It’s spring, it’s a new year and it’s a great time to do a major clutter clear.
Repeat after me.
Out with old and in with the new!
I am beginning a new journey. I have clarity.
Doors of opportunity are opening for me.
I know that I am capable of anything that I fully align with.
It is all going to happen for me.
I can feel it with my mind, body, and spirit.
Everything I desire is already mine.
I am extremely excited to be living the life of my dreams.
It is filled with Ease and Fun.
Helpful hints: Make it fun. Best times for clutter clearing are mornings, open the windows, play some music, light some incense.
Love and Light,
