Spring cleaning according to feng shui principles - Part one

As the planet renews itself each Spring, it's only natural that we'd all like to follow one of the season's oldest customs: spring cleaning. Think of spring cleaning as an enjoyable experience this year, not a dreary task. Instead, see it as a chance to apply Feng Shui concepts to your home and see what works and what doesn't. Things that most people haven't touched in years pile up in their garages, basements, drawers, and attics. I know it does it my home, garden and garage! Accumulation causes things to slow down. The accumulation of things in our houses stifles the flow of energy, leading to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, and exhaustion in our daily lives. We need to keep things moving and flowing by changing things up and around. This Spring, think about how you want to decorate your house and how you want to conduct your life. If there are aspects that you don't want others to notice, focus on fixing or eliminating them. For example, if your basement is littered with clutter, get rid of things you no longer use. If it’s not useful or beautiful, why have it? We get clarity when we get rid of items that no longer serve a purpose in our life. When we get rid of things that are no longer useful to us, we let go of the past. Enabling our lives to flow more smoothly means removing obstacles from the way of fresh opportunities. So when you spring clean your home, think of it as removing old, stagnant energy and enabling fresh, positive energy to enter. When the weather warms up, it will become a task you look forward to as you know how rewarding it will be afterwards.
