Determining the Time Period of Your Home from a Feng Shui Perspective

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Derelle Ball

When we talk about the Time Period of a home, we are looking at the combination of Heaven, Earth and Man energy coming together to form the Natal Chart of energy flow.  The ‘Heaven’ component is the timing of completion of the building being constructed, the ‘Earth’ part is the physical location and magnetic orientation of the building, and the ‘Man’ factor equates to the action people take when designing and constructing the building itself.

The 9 Golden Rules for Decluttering

Posted on May 05, 2024 by Derelle Ball

In a world filled with distractions and excess, decluttering has become an essential practice for achieving clarity, focus and inner peace. Whether it's your physical space, your mind, or your daily routines, simplifying your life can lead to profound transformation. Here are the 9 Golden Rules for Decluttering, guiding you towards inner peace, purpose and fulfilment.

1. Pick a Suitable Date: Decluttering is best conducted on a ‘Remove Day’ according to 12 Day Officer Date Selection.  These days are generally deemed supportive for cleansing, prioritising, culling, removing obstacles and getting rid of the clutter internally and externally.  In May 2024 Remove Days occur on May 6, 18 and 30.
2. Set Clear Intentions: Begin your decluttering journey by setting clear intentions. Ask yourself why you want to declutter and what you hope to achieve. Whether it's creating a more serene home environment, reducing stress, or gaining mental clarity, defining your goals will provide direction and motivation.  Then set aside time to visualise what you aim to achieve and imagine how it will feel.
3. Start Small: Tackling clutter can feel overwhelming, however remember, small steps lead to big changes. Start with one area of your life—whether it's a cluttered closet, clearing the top of your dressing table, prioritising a chaotic work schedule etc and gradually expand from there. Celebrate each small victory along the way, knowing that every bit of progress counts.
4. Practice Mindfulness: Cultivate mindfulness as you declutter. Pay attention to your thoughts, emotions and physical sensations as you engage in the process. Notice any attachments or resistance that arise and gently let them go. By staying present and mindful, you can make more conscious choices about what to keep and what to release.
5. Embrace the Power of Letting Go: Letting go is a fundamental aspect of decluttering. Release items, habits and beliefs that no longer serve you. Remember you are not defined by your possessions or past experiences. By letting go of the old, you create space for new opportunities, personal growth and experiences to enter your life.
6. Declutter Your Environment: Create a peaceful sanctuary by decluttering your physical space. Depending on your individual circumstances, it helps to start in your bedroom, home office, kitchen or main entry.  Simplify your home by getting rid of items you no longer need or love. Surround yourself with objects that bring you joy and serve a purpose. A clutter-free environment can foster a sense of calm, clarity and productivity.
7. Establish Healthy Habits: Simplify your daily routines by establishing healthy habits. Prioritize self-care activities such as exercise, healthy eating, and adequate sleep. Create a schedule that allows for balance, productivity, and relaxation. By streamlining your routines, you can free up time and energy for the things that truly matter to you.  Here’s an article further explaining the importance of setting healthy habits and how to go about it:https://centaineconsultants.com.au/blogs/news/fostering-positive-habits-during-the-jia-chen-wood-dragon-solar-year
8. Declutter Your Mind: Just as you declutter your physical space, it's essential to declutter your mind. Practice mindfulness meditation, journaling or other relaxation techniques to quiet the mental chatter and find inner peace. Let go of negative thoughts, worries, and limiting beliefs that weigh you down. During the internal decluttering process, it can help to play music that aims to lower your brainwaves from conscious overthinking beta waves to more relaxed alpha waves.  This helps cultivate a mindset of subconscious positive expectation and inner gratitude.
9. Stay Consistent and Flexible: Decluttering is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Stay committed to simplifying your life, but also be flexible and open to change. As you evolve and grow, your needs and priorities may shift. Embrace the journey of decluttering with curiosity, resilience and an open heart and mind.

By embracing the 9 Golden Rules for Decluttering, you can transform your life from one of chaos and feeling overwhelmed to one of simplicity, clarity and inner peace. Remember that decluttering is not just about getting rid of stuff; it's about creating space for what truly matters in your life. Embrace the journey with openness, patience, and self-compassion, knowing that each step brings you closer to a life of abundance and joy.
