As winter is drawing to an end and spring is ready to be sprung, I am starting to think about spring cleaning and I have consulted my Feng Shui books to see what advice they offer.  I am ready to clear out the old and welcome the new in to my life, these are my findings on successfully clearing and decluttering.  Do one room at a time and ask yourself these questions before holding onto clutter-

Do I Love it?
Do I need it?
Is it essential?
Does in enhance my life?

Spring is the season of renewal, manifestation, celebration and falling in love. Now is the time to take those bold feng shui steps and go full-force into action to make your New Year's resolutions happen. Feng shui is here to help.

If you still feel sluggish and low-energy after a long and maybe challenging winter, here are some proven-and-true feng shui steps to lift your energy up.
Spring cleaning and clutter clearing are the keywords and the goal is get rid of everything that does not serve you anymore. Make space for new, fresh feng shui energy to come into your life.
·         If you are striving to improve your health, get rid of all the items that are cluttering and blocking the energy flow in your kitchen (especially your cupboards and the freezer.) The state of your kitchen is the state of your health, so do yourself a favor and thoroughly clean that kitchen!

De-clutter the refrigerator; clean the stove and all the pots and pans. Let go of all harsh chemical kitchen cleaners and go for natural ones. Clean out all the drawers, surfaces, light fixtures, etc - create a fresh pathway for
strong vibrant Chi to flow and nourish your energy.


. Bring three new pots with vibrant feng shui green plants to refresh the energy of your space and symbolize, as well as ground, the energy of new beginnings. If you plan to place them in the kitchen, go for lush and aromatic herbs, such as basil, rosemary or mint. Focus on your main entrance, as well as your kitchen, as both are strongly connected to your health.

·         If you would like to welcome a new love relationship into your life, make space, and I mean actual, physical space, for this new person to be in your home. Clear out your closets for a better flow and more space. You literally have to create an open flow of energy in your home to be able to attract and manifest more of what you are looking for.

·         Last but not least, be sure you understand the importance of space clearing and are comfortable with at least a simple feng shui space clearing session for your home. Better yet, make time to do a major space clearing session; now is the best time for it.
Clarify, purify and let go. Renew your space and renew your body. Step into a new way of being, fill it with a happy and healthy energy of excitement and creativity. Happy new and fresh beginnings, fun celebrations and precious memories to behold!
After you read the feng shui spring cleaning tips you might be thinking: "All well and good, but where do I actually start if I have no energy for it?"

It's true, the spring cleaning feng shui efforts might feel a bit of a catch-22 situation. In order to get more energy, you need to do spring cleaning. But in order to do the spring cleaning, you sure need a lot of energy!

Here is the best feng shui way to go. Start with this very easy feng shui
clutter clearing sessions and do not go over 35-45 min. I am serious.

Allow yourself to start wherever you fee like it - it might be
your closet, or maybe you bathroom vanity.

Go with the flow and see where there is most excitement for you. Yes, I did use the word excitement, as spring cleaning can be a lot of fun with just a tiny shift in your attitude.

After you have done several small spring cleaning sessions, go for a longer one, but again, do not over-do it. Finish cleaning while you still feel fresh and can look forward to the next session.

Another feng shui tip is to never ever start your spring cleaning efforts with the hardest task. Unless, of course, you are absolutely sure and confident you have the energy for it!

It is best to start in a gentle and easy way, with small
spring cleaning sessions that bring visible results. This way your enjoyment, as well as your confidence grows, and yes, you might be looking forward for more and more spring cleaning and clutter clearing of your home.

Once you actually experience the feeling of lightness and freshness that comes after even small amounts of spring cleaning, the rest is easy.

Do not forget to support your energy with good feng shui energy props, be it music, fresh flowers or your favourite scent in an aromatherapy diffuser.

Treat yourself well by treating your home well, and everything else will fall into place.

Happy Spring Cleaning!
Love and Blessings
