FENG SHUI QUICK TIP 57

Clean out the garage

If you park your car in the driveway because there’s no room for it in the garage, you’ve got a feng shui problem! Your car is a symbol of your mobility, independence and ability to be self-directed in life. If you can’t open the car door all the way or have to be ultra-careful pulling in and backing out because of all the things stored along the side walls of your garage, you may be hampered or overly cautious moving forward in other ways. When your garage is cluttered and dirty, it will drag down your chi every time you get in and out of your car.

If you’ve been hard at work clutter-busting the rest of your house, chances are a lot of that stuff has been piling up in the garage, waiting for you to take it to the dump, the library, or Goodwill. This weekend, give yourself a break from the rest of the house, and take a few carloads of cleared-out clutter to their next destination.

INTENTION—As you work on your garage, stay focused on your intention to enable yourself to move around as freely in your life as you do in your car.

AFFIRMATION—When you are done, make a verbal affirmation to support your intention, such as: “By clearing and opening this space, I create more freedom of movement for myself in all aspects of my life.”

VISUALIZATION—Take a moment to admire what you have accomplished. Visualize freedom of movement in all areas of your life. If there is a specific improvement you have in mind as a result of clearing out your garage, picture it in your mind as if it has already happened.
