Feng Shui Definitions of your Life’s Clutter

Using the Feng Shui compass and Ba-Gua, you can map out the different areas of your home as well as their symbolic meanings such as family and health, wealth and abundance and career and recognition. There are quite a few of these meanings mapped out within your home that likely strike a chord with you subconsciously. However, if you have a lot of clutter and general disarray, then the very areas that should be promoting a positive flow of energy could end up causing bad Chi.

Clutter in certain areas in your home will translate into negative energy in other aspects of life. Read on for a brief interpretation of life’s clutter, based on Feng Shui:

1.  Kitchen disarray and clutter hinders your ability to nurture and feed yourself and others in your household, on a variety of levels.  Clearing up the clutter opens your space which in turn opens your life to many possibilities including abundance in your life, whether it is love, money, health or happiness.

2.  Junked up hallways can block the flow of energy. Just liken hallways to that of blood vessels in your body. If those blood vessels are clogged, that could damage your heart and health. Well, the same principle applies to hallways as well. If you allow clutter to accumulate, you are disrupting the flow of good Chi which in turn affects how you deal with your family and other aspects of your life.

3.  Messy dining and living areas can hinder your relationship with friends and family. These two rooms are where you associate and hang out with family and friends, so you want to ensure good Chi. In order to promote that, the clutter needs to be gone. With clutter, you tend to not want to invite people to visit and your family won’t want to go in there either. These are two things which could lead to isolation and general negativity.

4.  Banish the bathroom mess. The bathroom is the one room in the whole house where you actually look yourself in the mirror to prepare yourself for bed or the day ahead. If your bathroom is messy and full of clutter, that disorganization tends to leak onto other areas of life and cause self-doubt and loss of personal confidence.  Transform your bathroom into a clean, functional and peaceful sanctuary from the rest of the household. If you take care of yourself in the bathroom first, then that positive Chi will navigate its way to other areas of your life and home as well.

5.  Cluttered closets may seem like no big deal, but what if you left the door open so that it faced out into your living room or bedroom. That disarray is now a part of that room. Closets, in Feng Shui terms, represent the things in life that you do not know or that are kept hidden. By keeping a messy, disorganized closet, you are stifling your ability to form insightful and intuitive thoughts. Think of the closet as your subconscious – you’re aware that it is there but you don’t focus solely on it until it becomes a larger than life problem.

6.  Kick out bedroom clutter. Your bedroom should be viewed as a place of rest, relaxation and intimacy. Basically, you recharge those internal batteries every day in the bedroom and clutter only hinders that process. The disarray in this most personal of spaces affects sleep patterns and keeps stress in the room.

As you can see, clutter can make a huge impact on Feng Shui. Make a pact with yourself to schedule clutter-busting rituals as part of your daily routine. Just a few minutes a day and you will be well on your way to a good Feng Shui way of life.
