What is "Decluttering"? First of all What is "Clutter"?

Can I really free my house and my mind just by throwing things away?

As I mentioned in the article about Space Clearing last week, negative energies can be accumulated in corners and nooks of a house, but where do these bad energies come from? One reason, apart from the ones mentions in the above article, is CLUTTER.
If old newspapers or letters pile up in the corner or an attic is used as a dump-place for things kept "just in case" or items which could be reused, when they will get repaired one fine day in future..., then the energy becomes stagnant and stale in this areas. This is called physical and energetical Clutter.
But in this case you can bear your own hands (instead of hiring a professional like for the Space Clearing) to get a new fresh wind into those corners and to release the stucked energies.
It will not only clear up the actual place, but also your mind and feelings, as you are energetically connected to your home.

Clutter not only means messy cupboards or piles of shoes in the corner behind the door (or even worse in front of the door - according to Feng Shui the doorway should be free of obstruction, so the incoming good energy can enter your home without hindrance). Clutter permeates all aspects of our lives from unpaid bills to mismatched socks, it can slow you down, making you less effective. Hoarding things that belong to the past overcrowds not only your houses, but also your mind. This 'mental and physical litter' can drag you down: lack of focus and clarity, feelings of being professionally, creatively, spiritually, and/or romantically stucked, to have insufficient time (because it is wasted by searching for things all the time...) and attention for yourself and your family, increased stress, irritability, it can lead even until depression, all these can be some of the effects of clutter in your home which prevent you moving forward and face new challenges. Clearing it out will dramatically improve your mood and energy.

This whole process of clearing and cleaning up spaces from physical mess - and along with this goes the energetical releasing of stuckness - is called in modern terms: DECLUTTERING.
The effect of decluttering goes far beyond the outer environment. It can be so relaxing to release the bonds and to get finally rid of some things, which could have been holding you back for a long time. Decluttering can ignites energy within you - energy you didn't even know you had! It can be a really boost for you in your personal and your career life when you declutter your surroundings.

But for some people it is very difficult to let go of old things or they are simply so unorganized, that it seems to them like an unbearable task to start sorting out things, which are really not or no more necessary and which only rob energy just by lying around in certain corners.

What and how to "Declutter"?
Start with asking you some questions: Do I love this item? Have I used it in the past year? Do I have another one that is better? Should I really keep two? Do I really have the energy and time to repair this item for reuse? Does it have sentimental value that causes me to love it? Or does it give me guilt and make me sad when I see this item?
Feng-Shui-wise it is advisable to throw away all crockery, which is chipped or cracked even only tiny parts, as eating and serving from of broken cups and plates can bring bad luck and cheating and money loss in business. It symbolizes "it cuts the mouth" and literally affects your speech so that what you speak can get you into trouble.

Cleanse out everything that does not make you SMILE!!! If you cleared out and made room, then you have enough new space to display your valued objects in an adequate place and can enjoy them, whenever you look at them.
This way you can live every day with the peace of mind that results from having your home exactly the way you want it and where you are in control of your stuff, and not the other way around.

There are far more of deeper subjects about Decluttering, especially those related with the psychological aspect, but this will be the topic of next articles in this webpage - or contact me if you have further questions.
