Living Simply By Annie

Last year, I had an opportunity to have a conversation with Annie via her Living Simply questionnaire.

She asked me about my background, how I got into Feng Shui as well as what some common mistakes are that people make, and also three things everyone can do to easily improve the Feng Shui of their space.

Below is an excerpt, and you can read the full article on Annie’s site here.

You have worked with many different types of people from around the world. Is there one common mistake you see people make that’s “bad feng shui?”
I don’t believe in absolute good feng shui and bad feng shui. It is what it is. What might be right for you might not work for someone else. I do, however, believe that people’s own intuition can tell them if something is good or bad for them. I guess if I was going to sum up the principle that creates the most challenge for my clients it would be: hanging onto whatever is no longer serving their life now, today.

What are three things everyone can do to easily improve the feng shui of their space?
1. Declutter. You can’t pick up something new in your life unless you put down what you are holding onto.
2. Intentionalize. Place everything in your space with a clear intention or purpose… if you don’t know why it is there, consider letting it go. Every item in your home is a seed that contributes to your future “tree of experiences” so make sure what is in your space is reflecting where you want to go.
3. Bless. Say your version of a prayer to transform the inside of your space into a sanctuary of what is most sacred to you. This can be religious, spiritual or non-denominational.
