Years ago, when I was studying classical Feng Shui we also covered many other components that tied into how our  surroundings affected  our well-being and lives in general.  One of those was  “clutter” - how the stuff in our homes  affects the energy , or “chi”,  of our  comfy  abodes.

I knew that having a lot of stuff in the home made life challenging at times, like when you’re in a hurry and can’t find something - the more stuff there is the longer it takes to find that thing, the more nooks and crannies it can hide. Sometimes, we can have so much stuff that it’s difficult to find a place to sit, sleep, and even walk.

The “BIG” picture in fact goes way beyond our homes. The parts we never see because they aren’t necessarily happening in our backyards… the parts we never see, or even hear about because quite often they are intentionally hidden from our view and knowledge.

A Recipe for Cleansing our Souls, Minds, Lives and Environment 

Here’s a link to a 20 minute film on The Story of STUFF that is so well done that I hope one day it will win awards and be shown in every school… rather than teachers teaching our kids how to get the “most” for their money in a math assignment. The video can be purchased at The Story of STUFF website - Annie Leonard even provides on her site ideas for how to host viewing parties, what a terrific idea!

Watching the film made me feel good about what I’ve known for some time. It has also provided me a means to share the information - BRAVO!
