Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui

Amazon.com

Drawing on the success of her first book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, Karen Kingston has met popular demand by expanding on the indispensable activity of clearing clutter. There is very little of actual Feng Shui here, and certainly nothing you can't get elsewhere, but the clutter problem gets full and complete treatment. Kingston reminds us that clutter is stuck energy that keeps you stuck in undesirable life patterns. Therefore, you can "sort out your life by sorting out your junk." Kingston covers the reasons we keep things as well as the amazing stories of people who have cleared their clutter away. More than just junk, clutter is all those things that have negative symbology and that collect stagnant energy. This latter can also apply to bodily, emotional, and spiritual clutter, all of which Kingston describes with characteristic passion. In an age of accumulation, it's good to see a book that frees up life again.

Top 10 of my list. Helpful for anyone.......2007-10-06

This Book is one of the BEST for clearing clutter. I have tried to for years without much success until this book opened my eyes. It gave me understanding why I do some of the things I do. I started right away in clearing areas (getting rid of excess stuff). I got rid of 80% of my clothes and WOW what a change. I got rid of old sweatshirts ( 16 years old could hardly wear) that I had emotions attached to and soon after throwing them away I found Brand new ones for a great low price. Clutter does work on your subconscious in a negative way. Decluttering truly helped my whole family in many ways.

This is not a book for organizing your clutter, it is on taking the extra out of your life. It is so nice now to walk into an area that I have worked on and feel at peace. My mother started with the advise from this book and my father commented to her "what ever your doing keep it up". He didn't know how to explain it but he was feeling better with her getting rid of extra pictures of someone they were having problems with.

The Feng Shui part is very basic. For others I have shared this book with and myself agree that this book is the way to start with Feng Shui. It is very hard to see results with Feng Shui when the clutter is in the way. If you don't understand Feng Shui this book still helps you with the basics.

ENJOY

loved it!.......2007-10-02

Best book I've ever read on the subject. I'm not into Feng Shui but it didn't matter.

very good book .......2007-08-29

This book is a very good book for yourself and also to hand down to your adult children or friends.

Clear Your Clutter!.......2007-08-29

This is a terrific book for people who need to be motivated to clear their clutter! Clutter removal is essential to rid your home or office of unwanted negative, stagnate energies. I'm a huge proponent of clearing clutter (and organizing the rest.)

Once your home or office is free from clutter, the next step--creating a sanctuary in your home and manifesting your desires--is easy.

So, if you overwhelmed with clutter, allow Karen to guide you!

Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet

Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston.......2007-08-23

This is a book I was waiting for for years. To bring the art and spirituality of Feng Shui together with clearing your clutter and the emotional baggage that goes with it, is a phenominal task and was done beautifully and succinctly by the author. I read it in practically one gulp and immediately set about to clear our years of clutter. Of course, I was planning this maneuver in my head for a long time before I found this perfect instruction kit. It is true what the author conveys: clearing clutter not only clears your spaces, but frees your spirit as well.You will not be sorry you bought this lovely little book.

Getting Clear.......2007-09-19

One of my best friends bought me this book after I sent her Jayme's online newsletter...pretty powerful newsletter, I'd say! I read this book daily now and cannot believe the content and context of the information it constantly imparts to me; it is enjoyable beyond what I could have believed. Every paragraph has so far resonated with me and is the direction I have been wanting to go; and now I know I have a scout who has gone out there and blazed this trail and come back inside to write about it! This is a generous woman! Having met Jayme at several yoga studio events, I know Jayme lives what she writes and has an energy of such integrity around her. For me, that counts for everything. The cleanliness, clarity, strength and beauty of this writing portrays who Jayme is, and I can't say enough about that level and depth of life. It is awesome to find it outside of oneself on the pages of a book as grande as this beautiful book is. She has excellent taste in real life (by the choices of her teachers and masters), in my opinion, and I am happy to turn the pages of this book slowly and deliberately and find support on "how to do a life well lived". This is the perfect book for me. Having just bought a new space in L.A., I will use this book to go forward on discovering who the new me is! Thank you, J. And thank you, Sydney, for the book!

I simply love it!.......2007-08-15

Covering the depth and breadth of feng shui from the inside out, Jayme's thorough understanding of energy makes my efforts fun and amazingly enlightening. Oh my gosh, it works! I gladly decluttered the other feng shui books and that silly money toad, and follow Jayme's teaching exclusively. I am thrilled with the daily insights as well as the infusion of revitalizing energy in my life. This is one of those rare, truly life-transforming books, and I'm a five-star fan! Thank you again, Jayme, for your beautiful, inspiring book!

This is useful when used in context.......2007-05-07

I really love the ideas in this book! I am a strong Christian, so some of the ideas are a little odd, but overall the book makes a lot of sense. Generally it will create negative energy if you stick your finger in an electrical outlet. A lot of the stuff is just common sense, but I really love the colors and the ideas they give on laying out rooms and putting your space together.

Excellent book.......2007-04-19

This book is an excellent beginner's guide to Feng Shui. It covers the bagua, and gives excellent tips on how to energize your space with things you already have. It also gives a basic space clearing technique. I recommend this book.

Inspiring.......2007-04-05

I have to admit it, I purchased this book mainly for the pictures. I find photos of well-laid-out rooms inspiring. HOWEVER, I am recommending this book because of its incredible CONTENT. Jayme Barrett lays the subject matter out so perfectly. It's like a step-by-step manual, only much more beautifully presented. Oh, and the pictures lived up to my expectations as well!

Feng Shui - Simplified!.......2007-07-10

This book makes feng shui easy and fun! Karen Rauch Carter uses the Black Hat style which is a very simple, but effective, form of feng shui. With this book you don't need a compass, pendulum or certified feng shui expert, in order to enjoy the benefits of this timeless art. You'll be able to start making changes to your home, and your life, immediately with the easy to follow instructions that are provided.

Inside, you will find a chapter for each of the 9 sections of the Bagua. Immediate action items and a short summary are provided at the end of each chapter, which can be referred to over and over. Karen will keep you entertained though out the entire book with her quirky sense of humor! She also provides loads of examples and stories of how feng shui can improve your life. I am an antique dealer, by trade, and I own my own business. I can honestly say that after decluttering my laundry room (my prosperity area) and painting it a pretty shade of lavender, I immediately noticed and increase in sales at my shop!

Just A Tip: Make sure you read chapter 12 before you start making changes in your home, the affirmations in this chapter will make all of your actions much more effective!

Well written and easy to understand.......2007-05-20

This is probably on the top five list of good feng shui books that I've ever read. Very informative and easy to understand and follow. It's really put together nicely.

While I do think there is definately something to harmonizing the energy around you, I don't think that moving your stuff is any guaranteed way to bring a certain thing to yourself. I have a love/hate relationship to books like this. I find some really good ideas, and some I think are silly and just don't work. I know that there are other issues involved. -Like what's in a person's birth chart for example. If someone is having a difficult planetary aspect in their money house, then, no amount of moving furniture/furnishings is going to change that aspect. Although, I do think it COULD help the person deal with it better. By moving something, it could represent a shift in how one has arranged or re-arranged their thinking about the problem. So, in that way, I think it could have a beneficial side.

I found many interesting things in this book, for example, in my helpful people/travel section of my home, that's where I already have the computer (World wide web) and I just happened to have a world map there. I found a lot of other helpful information too.

This is a fun and interesting book, and it's not gonna hurt anything to give something a try afterall. Just see what works for you.

Full of facts, well written.......2007-04-12

Excellent explanations and suggestions without getting bogged down in thousands of years of history. Written in 21st century speak with humor and intelligence. The best Feng Shui book in my bookcase (I have a few) -topping Lilian Too's series. Even tells you the anecdote when the sink is in your romance corner!

Rave Reviews for this book.......2007-04-03

I LOVED this book, and I am having so much fun with this, I have completely redecorated my home, using mostly stuff I already had, and all my friends are commenting "What have you done?" "It feels different in here" and "Everything seems to flow better". I hung a cutglass windchime in my missing "family" space to energize the space as recommended, and within minutes my youngest daughter called me. Amazing! And so much FUN! Now I am waiting for my romance energy to imporove!

A lot of Nonsense.......2007-03-19

I purchase several feng shui books and this one was the easiest to understand. However, nothing happened after purchasing several hundred dollars of feng shui items. Instead it seems bad things were happening to me. I junked all the stuff. I think it's total nonsense and more like witchcraft...stay away from it.

Feng Shui for Dummies.......2007-05-15

I laughed out loud when I got this book in the mail. Lesson learned...from now on I will read ALL descriptions MUCH more carefully! I was FULLY expecting a FULL sized book but got this tiny thing. Felt like I was dooped but checked and it does clearly say Miniatue Edition. Live and lern.

Lesson learned..........2007-03-19

To say I was disappointed when I recieved this 3 inch by 3 inch book would be an understatement. I have purchased numerous other books in the Dummy line so was not expecting this miniature book. Had I read the reviews like I usually do, I would have known and not wasted my money.

Also Disappointed - THIS IS NOT THE FULL SIZE BOOK!.......2007-03-02

I wish I would have read the reviews closer before buying this book.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE FULL SIZE BOOK!!!

If take an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper and fold it into sixths, this book is still smaller than that. I think the description is very misleading. You have to search really hard through the description to discover that this is a miniature edition. I feel this should have been listed in the title. I'm very disappointed!!!

Disappointing.......2007-02-23

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one "tricked" into thinking this was a full sized book. This book is ok for the principles and history, but I was looking for applying feng shui to my home, and out of 124 minature pages, there are very few pages on applying specific principles to your home.

Feng Shui for Dummies.......2007-01-19

I was completely blown away when I opened my "book." At 3" by 3" it is a mini book at best. No where was that stated in the discription. It has some interesting info in, but come on, when I was expecting a full sized book, I was greatly disappointed.

Very poor written Feng Fui Book.......2006-02-14

I bought this book with intention of trying to reposition by house after moving to new house in Torrence, L.A. This book does not provide good tip and very confusing points that may not practical for me. A disappointed book.

Superficial & Without Flow---.......2005-11-04

I have owned this book for a while and never could really get the jist of what where she was going with it. The most interesting parts of book are about the Bank Of China where they follow strong Feng Shui principles and how she became successful in positing her office. This is wonderful if you can move your doors to face your most auspicious positions and have
the clout to tell you CEO you would like to recontruct your office at his(her) expense. I have tried from other sources to position myself in the workspace and will say that my bosses thought I was insane. I think book is poorly written with too much useless information.

good book to pick up and read.......2003-02-21

i keep this one by my bed and read it when i need some inspiration. it always gives me ideas and gets my creative juices going. a good addition to your fung shui library.

Very Confusing.......2002-05-25

This book was very confusing. I have had to buy other books to understand the art of Feng Shui. Not interesting. I would not buy this book.

terrible book. Chinese calendar calculations wrong.......2000-11-09

After reading Terah Kathryn Collins's The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Room by Room, you'll never look at your home the same way again. Under Collins's caring and perceptive tutelage, the home becomes more than just a box to move around in; it grows into an entire ecology of meaning and encouragement. To begin, Collins explains in clear language the principles of Feng Shui and how it can be good or bad. After detailing a number of items used as traditional Feng Shui enhancements, Collins proceeds to walk us through all the rooms of a house, from foyer to attic, to family room, bedroom, and kitchen. She explains the significance of each room, common problems, and, most importantly, effective solutions. In westernizing her Feng Shui, Collins dispenses with some of the more bizarre and ungainly traditional practices, always keying in on the straightforward and pragmatic. By including inner practices as well as outer, Collins offers one of the most profound and enriching Feng Shui books yet.

Book Description

Dumb Book.......2007-03-20

Sorry, but I think the whole book could have been written in one chapter. Most of the book was saying things like, don't buy a chair until you sit in it, or keep clutter off your desk. Advise that just takes common sense and fills up pages. I was waiting for the author to tell me not to run with a pair of scissors in my hand. I felt talked down to and unless you are very young with your very first apartment or house, you might also find the book insulting.

The only book that wasn't too negative.......2007-03-19

Feng Shui is a very negative system. This book wasn't as bad as the others. It was invented from an ancient poem and the reading of dead bones from graves. Someone came up with this system that seems to threaten you every step of the way. Your home, entrance, bed, couches, etc must all be positioned a certain way or else you have bad luck in finances romance and life in general. It's all nonsense and doesn't work. Save your money and remain happy in life. Putting purple paper in your desk will not create money for you.

Great Book On Feng Shui PERIOD!.......2006-04-06

I practice the Black Sect Tantric Tibetan Buddhist Feng Shui method but this book covers the Compass method also. After reading this delightful little book I realized that I had many changes to do in my home. Some of the other books I have read on Feng Shui were not as clear as this one is. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who practices any type of Feng Shui because it is easy to use and understand, I do however recommend that you download a picture of the Bagua to assist you in your practice.

Great supplemental reference guide.......2003-11-03

This book is best used as a quick reference guide to Feng Shui! It's fun to read through and full of information, but it's not meant to be an introductory book for beginners. It's great as a reference though, it's super easy to look up information on the fly.

Mini Glossary.......2003-03-20

Feng Shui Dos & Taboos is like the glossary that you wish the big Feng Shui books had in the back pages. Though a little pricey for the amount of content, it's ok as a quick answer guide.

Cute Little Book.......2003-03-06

This is a cute little book that is definately geared to those who practice "Compass" forms of Feng Shui. Some of the tips made me chuckle and some I marked for reference and possible usage. For what ever form of Feng Shui you practice, I'd say some, or a good many of Ms. Wong's do's and don't's are adaptable to your form, but the book does require some knowledge and back ground in Feng Shui, or you might be instituting the wrong cure. This little book has a somewhat more light-hearted approach then I expected, but it is a good antidote to those ponderous and deadly dull Feng Shui authors/practitioners who think they know it all and spend their time intolerantly bashing anyone who does not practice their exact form of Feng Shui. I would still highly recommend Karen Rauch Carter and Stephen Skinner for your first forays into Feng Shui, and after you become more proficient Ms. Wong's book will have it's place.

Great quick reference guide........2003-02-18

Of all the Feng Shui books we own, We use this little book much more frequently then any of the others. I keep in the kitchen drawer and refer to it all the time. My other Feng Shui books stay on the shelf and are rarely used after I have read them. but this little book is such a quick easy organized book that we refer to it all the time. Questions from my family are easily answered, like "I just got this plant at the nursery, where is the best location?" It takes me just a second to look it up instead of an hour checking larger feng shui books that are not organized well. It is a great practical quick reference for anyone who enjoys Feng Shui

Karen Kingston knew she was on to something when people began to invite her to their homes. She helped them with "Space Clearing," which is to say that she helped them clear bad energy from their homes and create space for good energy. Over the years, she has refined her techniques and enhanced them with borrowings from other cultures. In Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, Kingston shows you how to draw on the spirituality of Bali and Chinese Feng Shui. With the view that one's home is a "magical manifesting machine," she describes how to consecrate space, how to use Feng Shui cures and enhancements, how to eliminate clutter, and how to Space Clear for yourself by engaging physically with the energy of your home. If the personal transformations that Kingston describes are any indication, Space Clearing will create new vistas for the renewal and revitalization of any home.

Book Description

great.......2007-03-24

Really liked this book on how to reduce the clutter! A great beginner book to feng shui and the basic principles of getting rid of clutter for better energy movement.

Great guidline into clearing your own spaces.......2007-01-08

I did the practice and enjoyed it very much, and experienced some surprises
I recommend it

A life changing book...........2006-12-20

This book really helped me. I read this one after I read Karen's other book "Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui" I have done many Space Clearing ceremonies to date and my home always feels fresh and wonderful afterward. I would not be who I am today if it were not for Karen's books! Some people might find her books laughable and even I don't agree with everything she says but parts of this book are very deep and profound and changed my life for the better. If you are looking for a simple, beginners book on Feng Shui this might not be the book for you. A proper Space Clearing ritual is complicated and somewhat time consuming but well worth the effort. Also, I don't think Karen is trying to scam anyone with her products or website. She is simply providing products and making a living helping others and there is nothing wrong with this. Her products are expensive but if you read her books you will know: 1) You won't be buried with material things anyway 2) If you treat any 'sacred' object carelessly it's no longer sacred 3) If you believe an object is sacred and treat it as such it becomes so 4) If you put your best effort into something you will get the best results!....So, if all you can truly afford to do is check this book out from the library and dig your Space Clearing kit out of a garbage dumpster or borrow everything but you really, REALLY put a lot of thought and effort into your ceremony it will probably work for you. My first ceremony was using my Grandmother's table, mom's unwanted dishes, homemade altar cloth, a cheap brass bell I got at an after-Christmas sale and 99 cent candles..That ceremony changed my life forever. Now, its seven years later and I am a much happier person with a new house, a new job, a new man and a much better life. I'm still doing Space Clearing ceremonies a few times a year. True, being able to afford Karen's beautiful bells and fancy alter cloths can make a ceremony feel more special but it really won't help you manifest good in your life if you want things for the wrong reasons or if your heart is not in the right place. A 250$ bell and a 100$ cloth are useless in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use them!

Nice ideas.......2006-11-28

This book brought home decoration to a new level for me. I used the techniques to rearrange my house and eliminate some things that weren't working. It actually improved the atmosphere of my home. Highly recommend this book and others by the same author.

Beautiful, Inspirational Book.......2006-11-04

Karen is an inspiration. She is a true feng shui practitioner that understands it with all her being. It's not just a feng shui cookie-cutter handbook, it is a guide into the soul of feng shui. We finish this book with an understanding of why we might allow clutter into our lives, and an understanding of how placement affects the energy of a home and how that affects our life. She explains in an exquisite way how to change the less harmonious aspects of our lives by changing a home or work environment into a more beautiful place.

The Western Guide to Feng Shui.......2007-06-27

I purchased this book for a friend because I already had a copy. Its a straightforward compilation of the Feng Shui Bagwa map. I have several other books and they are complicated and confusing. This book lays out the theory and shares some stories of changing the decor according to the feng shui principles. I enjoyed reading it and I have enjoyed moving things around in my house.

Balance in your life.......2007-05-13

Feng Shui may not change your life, but if by taking the time to balance your surroundings, you also balance your life, isn't that something special? I am having fun with this just making my home more pleasant.

Just Ok.......2007-03-24

Most of the other reviews I've read must have been written by someone who has never read any Feng Shui books before. This book is OK for a beginner, but I borrowed some from my local library that were a bit older, but way better, and with much nicer pictures and more specific fixes and cures. I also bought the Room by Room from the same author and so far I'm a little disappointed. It has a lot of examples but it's not very well written, and it could use more illustrations, and even suggestions on where to buy the crystals and other cure items.

Not a bad read!.......2005-09-27

I have a hard time actually judging if these books are good or bad, being that I don't really have much of a Feng Shui background.

However, the book was easy to read and covered a lot of ground- especially if you wanted to know more about Bagua maps. The advice wasn't too out there, but the examples seemed a little over the top at times.

Overall, it wasn't a bad read, and if it doesn't work for you, then move the furniture again! :)

Many books on feng shui are geared toward homeowners, but Webster applies feng shui principles to individual rooms as well as the whole house, which makes 101 Feng Shui Tips for the Home just as useful to apartment dwellers. While his list of tips makes for a quick reference when changing or adding to your decor, Webster includes plenty of information on the principles behind these tips to keep you from making an honest mistake, such as placing too many mirrors in your bedroom. An excellent source for beginners, Webster's descriptive room-by-room walk-through will have you cultivating energy and harmonizing your home's elements in no time. --Brian Patterson

Easy to understand but lack of more graphics!.......2007-03-17

Nice Cover,This little book is very easy to read and understand,actually it doesn't give 101 tips because some of them are repeated chapter after chapter, it's ok for beginners, Delivery from Amazon was fast and well packed.

Look at Your Home with New Eyes.......2006-11-16

I read the 10-Minute Clutter Control (Easy Feng Shui Tips for Getting Organized) before trying this book. That one was easier to grasp, but this one expanded my understanding of placing the grid on my living space. I didn't quite grasp how to use the trigrams in this book though.
The book gives about five pages talking about each room, then gives a page of brief tips to get you started.
Some of the tips seem so obvious, that you wonder what all the hype is about. It does make you take a new look at your surroundings and creates a desire to improve on it.
It was useful to me and is a book that I'll sample now and then to give me a fresh perspective on a room and its layout.

Feng Shui the easy way--.......2006-11-05

Great for beginner.......2005-09-05
