BOOK NERD : Kickass Quotes from Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui by Karen Kingston
Clutter makes me feel safe. I wear my clutter; books and paper and crystals and art and pens and books & books & books like armor. They are how I keep out the rest of the world. They ARE my world. My refuge.
Therefore- my relationship with Space Clearing is complicated at best.
I do aspire to getting good at clearing clutter one day... as long as that day does not get too close to this day.
Har... Har... Har...
I kid, but not really.
As a card-carrying "artsy person", I doubt I could ever live an entirely clutter-free existence, but there is a point where too much becomes too much, and I have to engage in some Space Clearing lest I tip the balance into qualifying as a bonafide hoarder.
What helps is to make the decluttering process creative.
Feng Shui really appeals to me this way, and that is why I created a section for the SPRiNG TRANSiTiON module called "Space Clearing And The Art Of Internal Feng Shui".
Feng Shui is fun.
And- as Karen Kingston so beautifully points out in Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui, it can also go much deeper than that, especially when you add Space Clearing to the mix.
It is fitting that this book is so slim and tidy. There is no unnecessary clutter here!
It is a book that you can read in one afternoon and then immediately put to good use.
Clean, clear, and simple. I like that. At least in theory...

★ "Everything that happens in a building is recorded in the walls, floors, furniture, and objects in the space. This builds up in layers, in much the same way grime does, except that we cannot see it, and it affects us in profound ways." -Karen Kingston
★ "Just because you own something, it doesn't mean that you have to keep it forever. You are just a temporary custodian of many things as they pass through your life... Everything material is merely energy in transition." -Karen Kingston
★ "Clutter accumulates when energy stagnates and, likewise, energy stagnates when clutter accumulates. So the clutter begins as a symptom of what is happening with you in your life and then becomes part of the problem itself because the more you have, the more stagnant energy it attracts to itself." -Karen Kingston

★ "As you release the things you no longer love or use, you call back to yourself the parts of your spirit that have been attached to them, and attached to the emotional needs and memories associated with those objects. In so doing, you bring yourself powerfully into present time. Your energy, instead of being dispersed in a thousand different, unproductive directions, becomes more centered and focused. You feel more spiritually complete and more at peace with yourself." -Karen Kingston
