“Out of Clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony.
In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.”
“Everything that can be counted, does not necessarily
count.
Everything that counts, cannot necessarily be counted.”
Albert
Einstein
What has clutter to do with Feng Shui and Law of Attraction? What is the connection between the two?
The connection between Feng Shui and clutter is very well
documented. It is generally number one
on the list of recommendations before enhancements
or furniture placement is suggested. Before
enhancing anything and anywhere, de-cluttering your space allows the energy
around you to begin to flow harmoniously; preventing the chance of stagnant
energy (Sha Chi) forming in your environment.
This de-cluttering is not a one-off quick fix, it is more like regular spring
cleaning, clearing out the old yin energy to make way for the new, improved yang
version. Yin energy saps our strength
and motivation; yang energy allows us to thrive and grow.
Clutter is something self-created.
Each of us consciously, or unconsciously contribute to the clutter in
our lives. It is not a contribution we necessarily
actively seek, however it is part of our lives.
Laying something down and then leaving it; hanging a picture we really
dislike because it was a present; packing our handbags or briefcases with paper
and never clearing them out; buying new clothes without removing something we
no longer wear, or something that no longer fits us; and storing something we
may never use again ‘just in case;’ are some examples of creating clutter.
Keeping something ‘just in case’ brings us naturally on to the Law of
Attraction connection. This signifies a ‘lack’
mentality, a fear that if we dispose of something we will not be able to
replace it, or attract a better alternative.
This type of clutter is mental clutter and it is the intangible energetic
clutter we cannot see but which is just as debilitating as that which we can
see. It blocks our progress towards
something we desire to experience in our lives.
Consciously working with the Law of Attraction we are seeking to attract
something specific into our experience.
Whether it is something physical or emotional; practical or fun, we seek
to attract it. Writing about it, displaying
pictures of it and dreaming about it while at the same time, through the power
of our thoughts and feelings blocking its arrival, is clutter. Our internal ‘chatter’ that on the one hand
says “this is what I want” is on the other hand saying “ha, dream on!” This is a form of mental clutter that is very
difficult to identify and therefore, difficult to clear.
Our modern-day lives tend to be lived full-on and at maximum warp
speed. We are constantly distracted by
family, friends, work, technology and our thoughts and feelings. This is the clutter of everyday living that helps
prevent clarity. As a result we have
very little time to really focus on what we are seeking. This is why meditation is so highly
recommended for everyone. It has the
ability to clear your mind and allow you to focus with precision on the things
important to you. Those with a really
busy mind may have to experiment with different forms of meditation to find the
one that will allow you to finally still your constant mind talk however this
is a small price to pay for the satisfaction of clearly focusing on your goals
and desires.
To the fulfillment of your dreams
