Clutter seems to be an important consideration in Feng Shui. What is clutter?
‘Clutter’ is derived from the word ‘clot’, which in turn means, blocked or obscured. Junk and clutter act as an obstacle in the progress of one’s life. Clutter includes those things that you no longer use but have kept it nevertheless, for reasons such as: • It holds an emotional value for you; • Someone has gifted it to you; • You think you may use it some day; • Clothes you don’t wear but keep it for future, when they may come back in fashion. Things like broken statues or artifacts, non-operational electrical appliances and old unwanted newspapers also constitute clutter. Do not keep non-functional watches and clocks at home as it does not allow you to move further in life. So get rid of them or get them repaired as soon as possible. Clutter drains your physical as well as mental energy.
