in episode 9 of SHUI TIME, i discussed the effects of clutter and recommended several strategies for mopping it up! clutter causes EVERYTHING to slow down in our lives, which is why we inevitably feel like we’re not making any measurable progress with our goals and intentions. however, if we get super micro about HOW and WHERE it affects us (with a little shui KNOW HOW), we can change our luck! so grab the map, and let’s figure out where clutter might be sabotaging you!
clutter in WISDOM / SELF-CULTIVATION / KNOWLEDGE / SPIRITUALITY or the NorthEast blocks our ability to learn and thrive on the cutting edge. it also creates unnecessary struggle when making decisions, which, inevitably, halts personal growth. kind of a buzzkill on the cusp of a new year, eh?
clutter in your FAMILY / ANCESTORS / NEW BEGINNINGS gua or the East can cause unnecessary struggle and rife within a family. it can also lead to trouble with those in charge, like your boss or superiors. if you want to climb any ladder this year, don’t skip this area!clutter in WEALTH / PROSPERITY / SELF WORTH or the SouthEast clogs up all the channels for wealth. it hinders our ability to manifest abundance. and the build-up can eventually dry up our current financial flow. that’s a full on WHOA and NO, right?
clutter in your FAME / REPUTATION / SOCIAL NETWORKS area or the South dims the ability to see things clearly. it can adversely affect our reputation, which dulls our shine. and that can impede our momentum to move easily within our social +/or professional world.clutter in LOVE / RELATIONSHIPS or the Southwest affects the female head-of-household most. and if you’re looking for LOVE, clutter is scrambling your search efforts. clutter also contributes to challenges you face within current relationships of any kind.
clutter in the CHILDREN / CREATIVITY area or the West hampers that push to complete projects. if there are problems with the kiddos +/or a desire to conceive, clutter here requires you to work overtime. and clutter muddies our creative juices, making new inspiration hard to metabolize into action.
clutter in the HELPFUL PEOPLE / TRAVEL gua or the Northwest affects the male head-of-household most. it interferes with travel plans as well as any fruitful synchronicities. it leaves us feeling we are “going it alone” in life. and clutter will take its toll out on our friendships and social families.
clutter in CAREER / LIFE JOURNEY or the North makes life feel like an uphill chore every day. it leaves us unsettled about what we want to do with our lives. and in our ambiguity about life, we resort to complaining instead of making empowered choices.
and clutter in HEALTH / GRATITUDE / UNITY (Center) affects every aspect of health. because it *touches* all 8 life areas around it, the center holds tremendous influence over the success of any shui remedy we implement. and clutter lingering here will ultimately leave us feeling without a meaningful trajectory in life.
so, if you didn’t quite get your space spruced and ready for the new year a few weeks ago, here’s your second chance! next Saturday (January 25th) is the Lunar New Year (the one Feng Shui observes, too!), so take what resonates here. . . and any time before next weekend, give your home a little extra space for the story you really want to tell in 2020! xo
