Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui
The book has very nice Cover Page ! unfortunately that about it..and nothing else ! the contents is not very good, there almost no illustration, no picture, no example…just word after word like a Romantic novel while the reader is searching for the Feng Shui solution.
I don’t like it !
In this age of accumulation, with the enormous volume of self-help books being published, I am running into serious problems vis-a-vis undesirable life patterns and stuck energy. Among the many accumulated objects cluttering up my house and my life is my vast collection of books about feng shui. I keep moving these piles and rows of books around the house, trying to find the best position for them. No matter what I do, though, the books keep collecting dust and stagnant energy, and I can’t get rid of the clutter and negative symbology. This book has inspired me, though, to do something about these undesirable life patterns, and thus rid myself of both ambiguous purpose and unfinished emotional business. Once I dispose of my cluttering collection of feng shui self-help literature, I’m expecting my spiritual and emotional clutter to vanish along with it. My only dilhemma is this book: if I get it, the cycle of clutter may begin again. For this reason, I’ll give it only 2 stars, since I’m sure it’s the first step on a slippery slope.
Bottom line: clearing clutter has very little to do with feng shui. The only link between clutter and the ancient art and science is that it inhibits the flow of qi, the physical and meta-phyical nourishing force at the heart of everything and everyone. Qi is only one principle of feng shui. There’s also the study of the 8 trigrams, the 5 phases, landforms and your environment. However, feng shui is really about the study of time and space. About determining how you are compatible with your home by analyzing the year you were born into (time) to the time your home was built and its magnetic direction (space). Feng shui is not a quick fix or an easy study. Can you learn and practice acupuncture in a weekend? Surely not. By not including all of feng shui’s components Ms. Kingston denies the reader an accurate understanding of what feng shui really it.
Karen Kingston has written a book cluttered with nonsense. The conclusions she draws about clutter and those who have it, are questionable at best, but often downright untrue. She places much importance on symbolism. Only the mentally and spiritually weak would buy into such superstitious foolishness. There is little written about how to remove clutter from your environment. If you want a book that provides information on clearing clutter to improve your time management, and create a healthy and beautiful environments to live and work in, this is not the book.
Do me a favor, buy another book! Take out all the feng shui psychobabble and what you have is just a book about clutter. Well, it served as a reference when I wanted to clear my clutter but if you are serious about doing a feng shui on your home, go for the traditional feng shui – the one that the ancient Chinese used. First time I heard about feng shui was last month. I did some research and I’ve decided I’ll go with the tried and true traditional feng shui. These quick fix books are not worth it!
