Renewing Energy with a touch of Feng Shui

Sometimes your feelings of dis-ease can come from an external source - such as your home.

If you're living in a house filled with stagnant energy, you can and should clear it out. Otherwise, every time you enter your home, you're causing yourself stress. That stagnant energy can drag you down, rob you of energy, and cause a generalized feeling of depression. So get rid of it!

You may know about Feng Shui - the Chinese art of placement that helps bring positive energies for health, wealth, romance, career success, and more to your home and your life.

I won't get into where to place what - that's a subject for an entire book. But one of the foundations of Feng Shui is getting rid of clutter.

When you have corners in your home filled with unused "stuff" the energy gets clogged there and cannot flow easily through the house. So start there.

Look behind doors, in corners, and in closets - and clear out the things you aren't using. Or... put them where they belong. If you have good things that you know you'll never use, donate them to a non-profit organization that will recycle them toward someone who will use them. Doing that will feel good on two fronts - clearing your house and doing good for someone else.

If the thought of parting with anything brings you distress, you may also need to balance your inner energies. Go to FeelBach! and take take the
questionnaire to see where your energy blocks are - and get the right flower essences to help you let go and move into the fresh new year.

You'll be amazed at the feeling of lightness and freedom you'll have when you clear the clutter!

Yours for a healthy New Year,

Marte

P.S. If you're interested in Feng Shui, I recommend reading A Western Guide to Feng Shui - because it teaches you how to re-arrange the objects and colors you already have in your home to create the energy you seek. Other books I've read called for Oriental objects that would look entirely out of place in my home.
