Do you feel prejudiced while entering a particular house or visiting certain people? Actually, most of us do. These reservations are not without a reason. While some residences offer instant “feel Good” vibrations there are others which make us feel low in spite of their opulence or extravagantly dressed interiors. Most of the times, the negative energy in such places is due to cluttered and / or disorganized setup which typically transfers on the residents / owners.
It also turns us wary of these dwellings.
The word “Clutter” in Feng Shui means stagnancy. It simply means a house and its residents who are devoid of progress. Broken and non-working elements create a sense of despondency. It infuses frustration, negativity and a host of adverse implications. Remember, a cluttered house can be one of the reasons for broken relationships and ill-health too.
The problem is, many of us realize the negative impact of unused and unwanted items residing in various places within our living domain, and yet we refuse to address them. In most the cases the reason for procrastination is the overwhelming nature of this task. If you are experiencing similar dilemma then Feng Shui De-Clutter System can make your task hassle-free. Feng Shui de-cluttering may sound like an “Organizing” or “Cleaning” chore, but the fact is it introduces instant positive vibes post completion.
As an individual responsible for the de-cluttering activity you have to take harsh decisions and keep your sentiments aside. Adopting unemotional approach allows you to throw out items or embellishments such broken clock/s, dried and vanquished plant pots and repair / replace cracked mirrors / glass panes / shelves and negative infusing paintings / wall hangings without prejudice.
