CLEARING CLUTTER THE FENG SHUI WAY

The tips that I am posting here were taken from the September 2008 issue of the Feng Shui and Astrology Tabloid.

Areas that one should work on clearing clutter are the bedroom, the kitchen and the main entrance.

Let's start with the bedroom.
  • Clear clutter under the bed.
  • De-clutter and clean the closets. Instead of throwing away unwanted items or items that you have not used for ages, you can send them to recycling centres or donate the items to charity organisations.
  • Take out all the items in the bedroom that create visual and energetic clutter, like the TV, exercise equipment, computers, etc., which do not really belong here.

Next, the kitchen.

In Feng Shui, the state of the kitchen is likened to the state of ones health, the liver in particular as it is a detoxifying organ in the human body. So do your liver and your health a favour and clean up and de-clutter your kitchen!

  • De-clutter the refrigerator.
  • Clean the stove and all the pots and pans.
  • Let go of all harsh chemical cleaners from the kitchen and go for natural ones.
  • Clean out all the drawers, surfaces light fixtures, etc.

Finally, the main entrance of the home.

The main entrance of ones home is likened to the human mouth as it is the way one gets its nourishment in the form of energy or Qi.

  • Remove any object in your main door area that is not really needed there, for example, recycle bins which are in full view and old unused flower pots.
  • Find a way to deal with all lthe incoming mail so that it does not overflood the space. A small drawer in the closet may be a solution if the space is limited at the entrance area.
  • Bring a sense of beauty to your entrance to enable quality Qi to enter into your house.

You are advised to focus on these three areas of the home when de-cluttering as they are connected to your health and well-being. Clarify, purify and let go. In this way, you will be able to create a fresh pathway for strong vibrant Qi to flow into your home and nourish your energy.
