In recent years an ancient Chinese art has traveled westward to help do a little spiritual housecleaning.

It encourages people to become aware of their physical surroundings and to embrace them as part of themselves. |

Feng shui combines a common-sense approach to arranging your home with transcendental techniques for balancing unseen life energies. If you want to balance your surroundings, they encourage you to imagine the ideal environment, filled with a nurturing sense of love and light. Then compare your ideal with your reality. |

In order to create your newly realized ideal, examine your internal world as well as your outer one. In a big way, they reflect each other. Is your home filled with clutter and possessions you aren't even sure why you own? Perhaps you are holding onto the past and preventing yourself from becoming part of the universal flow of giving and receiving. You can begin to clear the air by cleaning out your closets and clearing out your stuff. Don't be afraid to let go of old material attachments and personal beliefs. |

They also recommend practicing mantras, mudras, and visualizationssome of our favorite tools for tapping into intuition! Fancy that! |
