What's Stashed Behind Your Doors?

A couple of months ago, I was browsing at one of my favorite hangouts, Barnes & Noble, and an audio tape caught my attention. It was sitting on top of some books instead of in the audio section, just looking at me. I picked it up and knew right away that I would buy it.

First of all, for those who may not familiar with the art of Feng Shui, it's basically all about energy and directing that flow of energy in our personal environment for the best results. I've learned that all clutter blocks that flow of energy. Everything in our homes reflect our personal lives exactly and every item in our homes emits its own energy, which affects us.

The name of this tape (actually a two-tape set) is called, "Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui" by Karen Kingston. This is not your usual Feng Shui information - Karen is very blunt and straightforward in her approach and she addresses issues most Feng Shui experts do not. In her profession, she works with deep, emotional issues which keep us from attracting what we want. These emotional challenges appear in our lives in the form of clutter. And that "clutter" also can be the things we collect and save. Her specialty is called Space Clearing and you can read more about her work at: http://www.spaceclearing.com

Anyway, I want to share something I had not really tried yet. Karen said if we remove all of our stuff behind each door in our homes so they can easily open all of the way, our lives will dramatically change for the better. She said even if we don't do anything else in our lives regarding clutter clearing, this one act will make a huge difference in our lives. That means removing anything hanging on the doors (like clothes) and everything sitting or stored behind them. Clearing this area allows energy to flow throughout the home and throughout our lives.

For some reason, I never thought much about what was behind my doors (except for my main front door). So I got to it and examined behind each and every door. Some doors needed furniture to be moved a few inches away so it could open all the way. Other doors had things propped there, like some folding tables I have. As a result of clearing behind each and every door, I've noticed many more "doors" continuing to open in my life. This is exciting!

If you try this, please share your results!
