Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui 
asked by wendi on November 7, 2006 2:55 PM
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.

This book engendered one of the biggest clutter clearing exercises of my entire 58 years. Wonderful inspiration.

This book not only motivates me to clear clutters, but it also changes the way I think about my living space, my belongings, and my life. Instead of giving silly tips and how-to's, (such as, move what to which corner of the room, buy what kind of incense burners...etc) the book tries quite successfully to revolutionize the way people view and connect to material possessions in their lives.
Karen Kingston is a very thoughtful and convincing writer. You will enjoy her earnest, inspiring, and sometimes witty advice. The book is so well organized, and unlike a regular how-to books it is a pleasure to read.
This is a small book that has so much to offer. This book will never turn into a clutter itself on my shelf long after I clear all my clutters.

I found the information in Karen Kingston's book to be inspiring. We are well on our way to clearing our spaces now. The last part in the book about cleansing to be very beneficial. It has changed the way I look at food. Plus the raising of the arms works great.

Honestly, Karen Kingston's classic is the only book I recommend to my clients. Most clutterer's have a slew of unread organizing books, just collecting dust and contributing to their sense of overwhelm and shame.
Here's my advice: toss all those books OUT! Get a copy of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui. Read it, read it again. Pass it on to a friend.
I hadn't read Kingston's words in several years and a few months ago, I wanted to find a quote for a talk I was giving. I couldn't put this little book down and it reminded me how inspired I was when first starting my organizing business in 1998. Up until that point, organizing was just about moving people's stuff around so that it fit in a more aesthetic manner. Post-Kingston, organizing revealed itself as an internal job, way more about the energy in people's home and lives, about the current that runs through their hearts and minds. I can honestly say that Karen Kingston's book changed the course of my life and that of my clients in a fundamental way.
I now have a blog called "It's Not About Your Stuff", which has as it's undercurrent (and at the top of the recommended reading list!), Kingston's powerful perspective and philosophy.
Bottom Line for clutterers: toss out all the others and read THIS book!
