Clutter has a way of keeping us frommoving forward. Clutter bounds us to items, people or materialpossessions that give us the impression that we NEED them.Those who hoard have a very valuable lesson to learn about lettinggo. There are often issues revolved around fear that may need to beaddressed. I will cover this in the upcoming pages.Your life will change once you clear it of all that surrounds you andboxes you in!

Congratulations!Your home, office and life are free of these binding energies.Maintain this proper clearing and continue to keep it simple.Food for thought:* Thoroughly clean and de-clutter every part of your environment. Yes,everything. Unfortunately, "there are no hiding places in Feng Shui."That means you don't get any junk drawers, let alone any junk rooms.Decluttering is important – maybe even potent enough to overcome yourresistence.*Hanging faceted

crystals are one of the most popular and widely usedFeng Shui cures. Hung in the windows, doorways and passageways ofyour environment they are masters at slowing down negative energy.Crystals have been known for centuries for their power to energizeand have been used as a healing tool for 1000's of years. They arethe ultimate symbol of the earth element.*Metal is the element and White is the color of Fall. Utilize metal(minerals) or white stones (quartz, ulexite, albite, opal,howlite...) in a healing grid. Make the grid anywhere you need tobring positive energy and light.*Fixing maintenance problems. Leaky roof, stuck or hard-to-opendoors, anything broken or not working, and especially any leakingfaucets or toilets, since water represents wealth and cash flow.* Yard and garden work. Make sure the landscaping is attractive,inviting, and well-kept. Remove any dead or dying plants

immediately.You don't want any "dead" energy anywhere in your vibrant livingspace. Don't let any plant material overgrow the walkways or obscurethe front door. * Make the front door absolutely inviting. Think ofit as a beautiful still-life painting. Add color, harmony, contrast.Energy enters through the front door, and you want to entice all theQi that you can. Anything that catches the eye because of its beautyattracts beneficial Qi. Red doors are great for attracting Qi, ifthat works with the decor of your house. Black is good, too.* Make sure your lobby, foyer or front entry is inviting.It shouldalso create a welcome transition from the hectic pace of the outsideworld to your own "sacred space" of tranquility.*Round dining room tables symbolize heavenly blessings, and shouldhave an even number of chairs around them (even numbers being a signof good luck). And never have only one chair,

as that's a clear-cutsymbol of loneliness. In fact, if you're single and you want tostimulate the energy of relationships and marriage area, place pairsof objects in this area -- two candlesticks or two photos, forexample.*Stairways that face the front door imply that energy is flowingright out the door every time you enter. Surround yourself withbeautiful pictures depicting nature or the open seas or birds inflight, all of which will encourage the good flow of energy.*Also remove those things you don't use, in the case of morefunctional items like kitchen utensils or garden tools. This is anevolutionary process, rather than something you can do overnight. Youhave lots of things in your house and office that may not qualifyas "clutter," but neither do they make your heart sing, feed yoursoul or nourish you on a daily basis.*The goal of Feng Shui is to create a thoroughly

nurturingenvironment for you and your family. It can never adequately do thatif you're surrounded by things with bad memories attached, or thatdon't vitalize you. In Feng Shui we learn that the things in ourenvironment either nurture us or deplete our energy. There is nomiddle ground.
