Positive Chi - Is clutter free
Being neat, clean and organized in every aspect of our life is truly an admirable trait. It only means we are responsible for the things we do and we go for a life that is free from troubles. It shows how much discipline we have in ourselves.
This is also true in the way we organize our things at home and in the office. Putting things in their right places and discarding unnecessary stuff make for a clean and spacious area. Space without the clutter is especially important in feng shui and when you can achieve this, positive chi will surely flow all around your surroundings.
Clutter is stagnant energy which hinders the flow of chi through your space and affects your physical well-being as well. Its presence alone prevents people from accommodating new opportunities and new experiences in their life and blocks their efforts toward change. Clutter can take away your energy such that you end up feeling stressed up, irritable and depressed.
Clean is in
In feng shui, clutter takes the form of dirt and dust which make homes untidy. Accumulated dirt and dust clog up the flow of chi in the same way as personal possessions in the home and in your life in general. The best solution for this then is to do some thorough cleaning and organizing of your vital spots to allow a smooth flow of energy. Just like how we keep ourselves clean every day of our lives, so do we need to clean the different parts of our home and workplace.
The windows are vital and should be a priority because they symbolize vision. The eyes are the windows of our soul, remember? Symbolically, a
window's condition determines how well you see things. Wash the windows in your power areas very well as even a thin layer of dust can prevent you from seeing the whole picture clearly. You should make it a point to clean them every time you notice it becoming a bit blurry or even if you see some unsightly spots.
Clearing for more space
Pay attention to your garage as well. Make sure that it accommodates your car every day because if not, you have got a real problem. Understand that your car symbolizes your mobility and independence thus, only if you clear your garage can you park your vehicle in its proper place. But if there are so many things that block the area in front and on the sides, your energy will be affected every time you get in and out of your car. So take time to discard your extra stuff in the garage when you can to give more space to your car.
Piled up clutter can also cause unpleasant odor in your home. Whether your clutter can be seen or not, they still develop unclean smell which can even stick to your personal aura as well. And so to make you and your home smell good and provide more space, clear away the clutter and keep everything clean.
Real estate experts also highly recommend this especially in selling a home. Experience would tell them that a clutter-free home is one that attracts potential buyers and a major factor in achieving a speedy home sale. Home buyers normally look for a home that is spacious and well-organized, a place where they can move around freely and feel comfortable every day.
The bottom line in clearing clutter is if you don't need it, throw it away. No clutter means more space and more space means good flow of energy in the home and office. This eventually will lead to more enthusiasm and energy in ourselves.
