Before any Feng Shui remedy can be put to use it is necessary to clear the space for change to occur. Everything that fills a space snags attention in some way. Keep only what you feel supported by and let go of the rest. Depending on how dense the clutter is, it might be helpful to start with a drawer or closet to prevent the task from becoming too daunting.
aum Some places to start:

1. Fix or get rid of broken objects. Every time your attention lands on these it is an unpleasant reminder that, over time, can weigh you down.

2. Beware of collections, keep the best, get rid of the rest.

3. Tie up loose ends. Don't let obligations (junk mail, bills, etc) pile up.

4. Empty garbage daily and notice where your recyclables are stored, are they the first thing you see when you walk up to your front door?
The goal of space clearing is to create wide-open freedom for the Ling to flourish in. After the clutter has dispersed, these space clearing techniques actively free the energy further.

1. Burn incense
2. Play music
3. Ring bells
4. Clap your hands in the corners of rooms
5. Dance, Chant and Sing
6. Create Kolam (see web page Kolam)
7. Open windows
8. Burn candles

These techniques can also be used when moving into a new space in order to erase the "Predecessor Karma" of the previous occupants.
