Recycling...It's Good Feng Shui

by: Kathy Tucker

When we recycle we contribute to the continued usefulness of objects while keeping the clutter from piling up in our personal space. As a Feng Shui consultant, I know that when I recycle my "trash" I’m practicing one of the main tenents of this ancient Chinese philosophy; and that this is to remove clutter in order to create a smooth flow of energy or "chi" within my home. At the same time I am also respecting the energy of the materials I recycle because their usefulness is still apparent and can contribute to a healthier planet rather than to a landfill.

According to Feng Shui principles we are connected to our environments because they are both a creation and a reflection of our consciousness. We can enhance our homes, offices and even our yards when we practice Feng Shui concepts. For example, here are some basic guidelines to incorporate in your life:

Remove the clutter
Make the environment you work and live in safe and comfortable
Live with the things you love
Live with beauty

There is a great deal more to the study of Feng Shui but know that recycling is definitely… Good Feng Shui.
