Clutter is synonymous with confusion and blockage. Broken furniture can signify broken dreams, physical injuries, or breaks in communication between family members. Doors or windows that stick may represent areas of your life that are stuck!

In Feng Shui, each sector of your home corresponds to a particular part of your life. The condition of the different areas will show which aspects of your life are in good shape and which need a little extra TLC. For instance, your living room may be clean, orderly, and inviting but your study’s a “whole” other story and piled high with clutter. This means you’re probably content with your social life but having problems with your career or finances.

The objective here is to create harmony and balance in your environment. This involves applying some practical solutions to everyday problems, such as establishing covenant traffic patterns through-out your house and positioning furniture in a comfortable way. There’s nothing magical about these cures- they’re just sensible, practical ways that make life a little easier.

  • And I think when the clutter gets to deep then it's time to jump on the housekeeper. (figuratively, of course ) She hasn’t been doing her job. And as for clutter around my neighborhood, well I live in Castle Hills West and it’s very clean around here. Folks take care of their yards and pick up the trash when it blows in. I’ve seen people out for a walk picking up trash out of other peoples yards. Nice neighborhood. And it could be that way in every part of town if folks would just give a damn about where they live.
    And as for Aubrey I think she is some kinda of hippy wantabe. Aubrey I love you dear but you sure look at life with a very pessimistic eye. Besides your mate is there anything about Victoria you like. I mean you have grumped about everything in the book and I think you are looking for more “problems “that you can bring up just get someone’s dandruff up.

  • Aubrey- you’re crackin me up.

    And by the way, I used to vacuum the floors every night before I went to bed. Seriously, they told me I was OCD- long before everyone started getting diagnosed with it!

    lol

    So, not that I'm a professional at this or anything, but if I had to guess...I'd say you moving the furniture once a month concerning your social life, insinuates you don’t stay committed for very long AND it’s hard to get you to settle down- what do you think?

    Just a guess...

  • Aubrey- you saying- you think Victoria is cluttered with trash couldn't be any clearer...
    I'm just wondering though, where do you live, that's so bad? I love my neighborhood and the Sonic Drive Inn, where I grab my tea, looks great! I think the parking lot of the mall stays clean, of course that’s because everything flies in the "ditch" the city provided upon entering the parking lot of the mall, but hey---The mall and movie theater side of town still look clean. If you take the short cut to Wal-Mart, behind Lowes...That stays pretty clean. They must paint that wall, once or twice a week, trying to keep the graffiti off! This is the ally I'm talking about and it would grade at least a B! I see buildings being painted, new signs, and clean streets everywhere in town...

    QUIT BEING SO NEGATIVE and start looking at life a little differently!
    And, maybe now that you've had your xanax you'll be able to respond to this post in a calm, accepting manner....(lol)

  • The only thing that could help my house is a can of gasoline & a match.

  • Very interesting! What if the inside of your home is clutter-free but you can't manage to keep up your yard? What does this say? Do you have a link where I can find more information?
