The feng shui of a home has a big influence on our children. Although the emphasis in a child’s life is different than that of an adult, children benefit from all the same principles that help to create health and harmony for adults.
“De-clutter, expand, de-clutter, expand, de-clutter, expand …”, these were the words used by a friend in a conversation we had a few days ago about how we move forward authentically in our lives. The “de-clutter, expand” notion captured my attention because it describes so much of the cycles in life, and a lot of what really defines the experience of living from one phase to the next.
Coherence sounds like something rather dry and academic, but what it means is an underlying unifying whole. We see it everywhere in the natural world – it’s responsible for the seasons, the beauty of the rose and regularity of the ocean tides.
Throughout our day from when our feet first touch the floor in the morning, until we climb into bed at night, we move from one place to another along various well-worn pathways throughout our homes and where we work. The degree of ease of moving from Point A to Point B adds to physical and also psychological ease of getting where we want to go to.
The more I learn about environments and the myriad influences that converge on any given place in the world, the more complex I can see it is. On the other hand, truth is simple, and there are two main principles which help one progressively improve the feng shui in any property:
At the beginning of a feng shui assessment, or an annual update, I like to ask people, “What do you want? What do you want feng shui to support for you?”
Clutter-clearing and organizing are a big part of feng shui, no doubt about it. There are all sorts of practical systems out there to help with getting and staying organized, and they do work if they’re a good fit for the organizing style you have inherently.
This technique, testing for the spin of the spaces where we live and work, is one of the most valuable pieces of information I have come across in all the years I’ve been practicing feng shui.
“Imagery”, in a feng shui context, usually means paintings, photos, all we visually see. In reality, sensory input from any of our senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, plus kinesthetic awareness of how we move through space – produces an “image” in the brain.
The practice of Feng Shui includes many different techniques and types of information. Compass School feng shui assessments, which I have provided for 18 years now, require study and experience, as do several other aspects of understand what affects a property.
A while back a friend sent me a card with a drawing on the front of it of a woman dressed in a business suit addressing several other business people gathered round a meeting table, her pointer aimed emphatically at a downward spiking graph behind her.

When my older son was five years old he shared a bedroom with his younger brother who was three. Between them they reigned over a small bedroom kingdom of many toys and books acquired from doting relatives.
