Many people write to ask me questions about aspects of space clearing that are not clear to them after reading just the very brief outline of the ceremony in the Appendix of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui.

This outline was requested by my publisher to give readers an idea what space clearing is about, and it has turned out to be a huge mistake to agree to it. The reason is that too many people form the impression after reading it that all they have to do is vaguely follow the short list of 21 steps and their home will be space cleared. There is, of course, a great deal more that must be understood in order to do the space clearing ceremony effectively. The background information and precise instructions for how to do the ceremony are contained in my first book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, and to attempt to do the ceremony without reading this book first is a complete waste of time.

Since mid-2004, UK editions of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui no longer have this Appendix, but it has not been possible to remove it from the US edition or foreign translations.
