Fengshui in Bali

You will never know what to expect when you're waking up in the morning. I had a feeling that today we might have a change to open our mind into new possibilities. Another very beautiful day in Bali, my editor, Jill and I, are having a meeting with Karen Kingston. She's a Feng Shui, Space Clearing and Clutter Clearing guru, who is recognized worldwide, for her teaching method and bestseller books. We are very excited to hear her perspectives toward space and objects in relation with human's spiritual journey.

Karen was born in England, and has been in Bali for 16 years. She owns a Feng Shui based villa resort in Amed the Dancing Dragon Cottages, and is acquainted with the local culture intimately. In fact, she discovered and learned about space clearing at this very island. In her book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, Karen describes: "For the last 30 years, I have really been living two parallel existences. Part of me is firmly based in the material, seen world, and the other half of me lives in the metaphysical, unseen world of energy and vibration. One of the reason I love spending so much time in Bali is that the Balinese all live in these two worlds too. I feel tremendous empathy with them, and their beautiful island is the only place I know where there are three million people living a totally integrated, spiritual way of life."
According to Karen, Space Clearing is a specialized branch of Feng Shui that works at even deeper levels by cleansing and purifying the chi of a building, thus enhancing the quality and nature of the energy in the space. Feng Shui always works better and faster when done in conjunction with Space Clearing. For your life to work well, it is vital to have a good flow of clear, vibrant energy in your home and workplace. Feng Shui is a beautifully organized system of knowledge that teaches us how to enhance this energy flow by improving building design, furniture placement, colours, chemes, and so on.

Another chapter of space clearing is called clutter clearing. Clutter accumulates when energy stagnates, and likewise, energy stagnates when clutter accumulates. So the clutter begins as a symptom of what is happening with you in your life and then becomes part of the problem itself because the more of it you have, the more stagnant energy it attracts to itself. Karen's four categories of clutter are: things you do not use or love, things that are untidy or disorganized, too many things in too small a space and anything unfinished. Every aspect of your life is anchored energetically in your living space, so clearing your clutter can completely transform your entire existence.

We experienced great session with Karen, and we are looking forward to hear and learn more about it. To experience these interesting studies, read Karen Kingston's book Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui or join her programs right here in Bali.
