Dear Karen,

I hope you can help me. I am in the process of clearing my living room from clutter. I have two indian pictures and I wasn't sure if they are good luck for feng shui. Regards,

Karen's reply:

I refer you to Chapter 15 of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, entitled Clutter and Feng Shui Symbology. It begins with the following explanation:

There are two ways that the symbology of the things in your home can affect you. The first has to do with the personal associations you have with an item, and the second has to do with the frequency emitted by the object itself.

Reading this chapter will enable you to see that to answer this question it is necessary to see the pictures you are concerned about, sense the energy they emit, appreciate how you feel about them, discover their history, see where they are placed in your home in relation to everything else, and so on. It's not a simple matter of 'indian pictures are good' or 'indian pictures are bad'.

To understand this subject in more depth, read Life Energy and The Emotions by John Diamond, which will help you to start to assess whether the frequencies of your pictures are beneficial to you or not.
