If you or a loved one hang on to too much sentimental stuff, this is the BEST book I know of to help you "reframe" the way you relate to your things. It's very easy to read and will surely help you regain control of the stuff in your home. When I have a client that is having great difficulty letting of stuff, I give them this book to read. It has always done the trick so far. I even succeeded in getting my dear husband to let go of a ton of old stuff in our attic! An amazing feat!
This book covers: Why we keep clutter, how it affects you, the beneficial effects of letting go, and how to let go emotionally, and how to stay clutter-free. (see also "Clutter-Free Forever" in the Controlling Clutter category of this blog)
Karen Kingston clearly and concisely addresses sources of clutter, such as paper clutter, sentimental clutter, and clutter that comes from other people - and what to do about them.
Feng Shui is about "balancing and harmonizing the flow of natural energies in our surroundings to create beneficial effects in our lives." Some people think there it is about superstition and luck. Some people may use it that way, but I don't beleive that you will get rich by putting a purple candle in your wealth calendar. What I know is that if you have balance and flow in your environment, you will be more peaceful, and more able to recognize and respond to opportunities that arise. Essentially, by paying attention to energy, you can make your own "luck" or as I like to think of it - "positive outcomes in your life".
Let me know how it works for you. : )
