Hot New Year Clutter Clearing Tips from Space Clearing Expert Christan Hummel
Expert Shares Dramatic Effects of Feng Shui Space Clearing Practices to
Improve Energy and Wellness
OCEANSIDE, Calif. - Jan. 2, 2008 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Space Clearing
expert Christan Hummel says that sometimes clearing away the energetic clutter
lingering in one's house or office can produce major even dramatic
improvements in the environment you live in. Drawing on an aspect of feng shui
known as space clearing, Hummel describes personal and social examples of how
space clearing can remove the hidden clutter that drains energy by blocking
the invisible life energy flowing through a living space known in China as
"Ch'i" which is the foundation of the science of feng shui.
Amazing and noteworthy examples of space clearing include:

* In Sonoma, CA, REALTORS(R) commissioned someone to do a space clearing for a

property where they were about to loose their listing because they had not
sold for so long. One week after the clearing session, it sold for the asking
price.
* Two newlyweds in Sweden moved into a new apartment and within a week
afterwards began to start bickering. A space clearing session revealed that
there had been an ancient Viking battle on the land. After clearing the
imprints left from that battle, they were like love birds again.
* One woman who suffered from migraines for years found that she woke up one
day symptom free after a space clearing which revealed that she was sleeping
on underground earth energies knows as geopathic stress.

* In Idyllwild, CA, a person bought a property where the previous owner had
died of an illness in the home. They had a space clearing done, and when the
property was reappraised for the loan (only a couple weeks after the first
appraisal) the value increased by $36,000 in a mountain community in where the
real estate market was sluggish.
* In six cities around the world where small groups have done space clearings
of their communities, the crime rate dropped 35%-50% in one month.

Christan can talk about the benefits of personal space clearing

New Year is a time for those resolutions which we have managed to successfully
avoid throughout the rest of the year, the new diet, that photo album which
needs finishing, and for many of us, tackling that pile of clutter.
According to Christan Hummel, author of the "Do It Yourself Space Clearing
Kit" (ISBN-13: 978-0975479308), kicking the clutter habit can not only clean
up the visual appearance of your home, but help your health, finances and even
relationships.

How you behave when you get home and how you arrange your home and office
spaces can make a tremendous difference in the flow of energy. Here are some
of her key recommendations on how to clean up clutter and the bad energy where
you live based on the principles of the ancient Chinese practice.
According to Hummel, clutter has four main causes:

1. Time: We lead busy lives and lack of time creates jobs left undone and as a
result clutter piles up.

Problem: that these piles drain our life energy making it more difficult to
tackle the tasks at hand and so a vicious cycle ensues.
ACTION: Baby steps. Hummel suggests you tackle your clutter problem like you
would eat an elephant, one bite at a time. Take one hour a day, or even one
hour a week, but be dedicated to that hour and devote yourself to tackling the
piles of paper, old clothes that need mending or the unfinished jobs which
clutter up your office or home.
2. Space: With increasing prices of homes, many of us have found ourselves
downsizing and space is an issue. With professional organizers commanding
upwards of $50/hour, it behooves us to liberate as much of our space as
possible by clearing out the clutter piles.
Problem: the clutter triggers a visual alert in the brain when we see it
staring us in the face day after day. Feelings of powerlessness, guilt and
anxiety are common results as we try and side step these "to do lists" which
call for our attention each time we pass by them.
ACTION: out of sight, out of mind. Free up the space by getting the clutter
put away and out of sight until you have the time to deal with it. Having it
sit in front of you each day doesn't make it go away any faster.
Pack up the unnecessary or inactive items and put them in storage, in the
garage or out of the common living areas. This frees up those important Ch'i
zones and also gets the visual space clear leaving your mind more at peace and
you feeling more rested and able to deal with the clutter when the time comes.
Remember your one hour a week you committed to?
3. Emotional connection: Sometimes we resist deciding on something because we
have emotional connections to the items. The classic example of inheriting
your dead relative's tea cup collection. What to do with them? One can only
have so many tea cups anyway, right? But they are precious and you don't want
to let them go. So they sit there for months and years holding the dead energy
and the indecision.
Problem: The emotional baggage associated with these items is choking that
invisible Ch'i which is their life blood of your home.

ACTION: Do some emotional release work, a closure ceremony, perhaps one in

which you feel gratitude, appreciation and love for the person in question,
then let their items go. Keep one or two representative items, and give the
others to special people, family members, friends, special organizations close
to your heart. Let grandma's cups circulate in the community, not stay locked
up in your living room.
4. Unseen causes of clutter: unresolved emotional issues such as financial
stress, arguments, prolonged illness, death of a family member are all
significant elements in creating blocked or stagnant Ch'i. Like a river, Ch'i
flows when healthy, and when blocked becomes stagnant. Clutter, like leaves
and debris collecting in a blocked river, collects in these blocked Ch'i paths
in the home.

ACTION: Go around the house to places where there have been past traumas or
difficulties. Do a cleansing ceremony (sage, or candles work well) and intend
that the blockages be cleared from that space. Intentionally bring in
something which represents more flowing energy, such as a fountain, chimes, or
living things like plants, to bring life energy back into that area.
