"The less clutter you have, the more your favorite items can be featured and radiate their life-enhancing energies."
- Jami Lin, feng shui consultant Organizing and uncluttering is both PERSONAL and SPIRITUAL. This may sound strange, especially if you only ever think about organizing in terms of file folders and containers and cleaning out -- but let's break it down:
ORGANIZING IS PERSONAL BECAUSE...
First, the definition for CLUTTER is different for everyone, for example clutter can be:
ORGANIZING IS SPIRITUAL BECAUSE...
Organizing brings ORDERS and balance to our lives. We constantly tread the thin line between order and chaos, Yin and Yang; so organizing helps with the balance. Organizing honors the organic flow of life. Life is constantly changing at home and at work, so being organized helps us to handle this inevitability with grace. Organizing honors the sacred importance of our daily lives: every moment, every detail of our lives is precious and shouldn't be wasted. Organizing honors the sacredness of the SPACES in which we live; they are containers of our lives. For example, home is a place to focus on the things that are most important to us and that we hold most dear, not meaningless clutter. Organizing creates harmony and balance in our environment; uncluttering allows the unobstructed movement of cosmic energy in your home, which is known as Chi. And finally, by organizing, we honor OURSELVES. When we organize, we say “I'm important, I matter, and I respect myself and my time.”
