An anonymous reader (whose home I suspect has pretty good Feng Shui) writes: “I don’t understand Feng Shui. I can’t grab the concept of placing items in a certain order or arrangement to bring one peace of mind… I’m not into sparseness. I like things to be neat and in their place but I have things I enjoy seeing, and want them out and about…” <\/p>\n
Another reader commiserates: “Like Anon, I don’t get the entire Feng Shui thing either. I am (too much so–ask my friends) organized, and I like my stuff where I put it and can get to it.” <\/p>\n
Yep, both these guys are on track already. They don’t need to “know from” Baguan! Hey guys, count yourselves blessed! Someone who needs Feng Shui-ing is more likely to write: “I am despairing with the chaotic state of my basement…” Or “My bedroom is not a peaceful place to sleep in. I’ve got papers stacked high that I can’t file.” <\/p>\n
Those who need Feng Shui, are generally among those drawn to it. They know that their mess can influence their mindset. <\/p>\n
There are<\/em> theories of the Feng Shui universe that I basically disagree with, as a writer who loves books and lives with many open shelves of book cases. Yes, they lend a chaotic countenance to my living space. But they represent the thoughts of people I admire and want close to me. Forgive me for accepting myself as a chattering mind in the company of many news sources and opinions. <\/p>\n Feng Shui practicioners recommend placing curtains over all standing book cases. I know a friend who had eggshell-colored canvas covers made for her eight-foot-high bookcases, and when the bookcase drapes are down, the room does seem calmer. But I like my books to shout “Hey, look at me.” So I bow to Feng Shui’s aspirations to greater simplicity, but I go my own way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An anonymous reader (whose home I suspect has pretty good Feng Shui) writes: “I don’t understand Feng Shui.
