Feng Shui Helping Me Feel More Supported?
I tried decluttering and all of a sudden I feel more supported
Over a month ago I was recommended the book, “Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui” because of my decluttering efforts and how Feng Shui seems to align with the law of attraction idea (that we manifest our clutter because of our mindset and clearing the clutter affects the mind and vice versa). I listened to it while I decluttered and it was great for that. I’ve never really studied Feng Shui so I didn’t know how my house layout would look in that paradigm.
When it got to the point of mapping my house, I had to stop decluttering and actually pull out a piece of paper and start sketching a rough look. I realized that my house was weird. It has a weird layout. According to the book (and I’ve since learned there are other ways to do this), you are supposed to draw the layout and then start looking at it with the entryway as your starting point. Mine is in the bottom-right corner. It’s titled “Travel, Helpful, Friends” because that’s what it mainly represents.
I have no love relations or prospects in this very rural area, so I was disappointed and surprised to see that area outside the house—it’s the yard! The same goes for creativity and prosperity! If I were going to declutter and Feng Shui those areas, I would have to research further. You can view a single room with this layout in mind as well, which is why I have upside-down writing in my bedroom. Starting at my entry to the room I had to split it up. Right now I’m typing on the computer in the prosperity corner of my room. Interesting.
Now, like I said there were other ideas on Feng Shui and splitting rooms up and I’m no expert. But I thought it was an interesting book and I was going to declutter anyway. It was great to listen to while I did so. But I was surprised by the results….
