Problems Associated with Clutter




Feng Shui has always been an interest of mine.  I have read countless books on the subject and decided it was time to take this interest a step further to really be able to use this in my design consultations.  About a month ago I started training under Sylvia Watson, an expert in the field.  I’m currently reading a book she co-authored with Connie Spruill titled Feng Shui With What You Have.  It really is a great book and I encourage you to read it. Check it out at Amazon.com here.





This evening I was reading the chapter Clearing Clutter and was very interested to learn how clutter usually indicates certain problems.  Take a look at the chart below.





Location of Clutter                                                      Could Indicate



Entrance of a home or office                                      A lack of concern about first impressions                                                                                    



Inside a closet                                                             An inability to deal with unfinished business or painful issues



In a kitchen                                                                 Care-taking responsibilities that are overwhelming



Beside your bed                                                          Inability to make effective change in your life; desire to get away



On a desk                                                                    Overextension; frustration; fear of letting go or needing control



In a corner behind a door                                            Stifled feeling, detachment from others



Under a piece of furniture                                           Concern with appearances



In a basement with old collections                              Living in the past; difficulty moving on in life



In the garage                                                              Procrastination; put off dealing with issues or allow what is urgent to become a crisis



All over                                                                      In denial; overwhelmed and angry




Do you happen to have clutter in one of these places?  Hmmmm....makes you think doesn't it?
