simple shui | is clearing clutter *really* feng shui?
clutter.
and clearing it.
is this *true* feng shui or not?
like any field, experts often disagree on their subject matter.
and for shui, this one hatches some hot opinions.
so, let’s explore, shall we?
{1} shui is somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 years old, depending on who you ask. but we can agree on this: it’s been around for millennia, right?
what hasn’t been around for thousands of years is our local target. or the wild world of amazon. throw in black holes of online shopping; trends that change seasonally + advertise prematurely; bigger homes + closet space + attics, oh my; and steady invitations to impulsively shop, buy, maybe even hoard. oh, and the cherry on top? disposable income. all of these – brand new concepts, relatively speaking.
so, clutter wasn’t a problem thousands of years ago. and in that vein, it would have no place in shui…
except. . .
{2} shui teaches us everything is energy + everything is connected.
ahhh. . . the forward thinking, muse-inspired, genius umbrella clause of shui. because everything implies, well, E V E R Y T H I N G. clutter included. and when our stuff sits without purpose or passion, it creates a low vibe energy. take this a hop further: if everything is connected, then those low vibes are definitely affecting you.
{3} and while we are under the shui canopy together, one last thought: living in harmony with the natural world around us is a top consideration in shui. in fact, its roots began in china where locating auspicious burial spots for loved ones was of the highest priority. from there, it became an influential compass for building homes. with nature still a ring leader.
observe mama nature. and guess what? nothing is wasted. every single thing serves a uniquely worthy purpose.
perhaps our homes are not meant to be so different.
we tend to live in a *later* state of mind. and if you can name a time + date for *later*, great! but often, we just don’t know when we’ll have the time. or energy. or help to finally get through it all. there’s just too.much.stuff. vying for our attention.
change requires action. and it helps oh-so-much to have someone who knows what changes make the most difference.
that’s why we are here to help.
this course rocked more than a few worlds the first round. and it will most definitely influence the flavor + functionality of yours.
there is divine choreography in the prompts + conversation over these 21 days.
it starts june 9th and registration closes this FRIDAY.
sign up. and then, exhale.
because, at the end of those 3 weeks, you will agree with me…
clearing clutter is some of the best shui you ever learned.
