CLUTTER CLEARING & WEIGHT LOSS
Something I have noticed again and again is that it's very rare to meet an overweight person who doesn't have clutter. The connection between the two is that body fat and clutter both act as a protective layer to help people feel less emotionally vulnerable. However the stagnant energy that accumulates around both causes a feeling a stuckness that is very frustrating.

When conducting a clutter clearing consultation, the first thing I do is to go around the home, energy sensing the walls and objects with my hands. It's very easy to discover through this method which items are loved and used, and which are clutter. Clutter always has dull, stagnant energy around it. Actually I can SMELL clutter even without energy sensing. Clutter has an unmistakable musty odour that hits me immediately when I walk into a home, even if it is all hidden away. I can also smell clutter in a person's energy field when they are far away from their home - it permeates them and clings to them wherever they go.

If you are overweight and reading this, don't be upset - be inspired. If there really is a correlation between stagnant energy in your home and stagnant energy in your body (and I'm sure there is), then this means that great progress can be made by purging your home of everything you no longer need, use or love.

Over the years I've had many emails from people telling me about how much weight they have lost after clearing their clutter, and how it stays off if they keep their home clear. Weight watching organizations have also told me that my book, 'Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui', is on their recommended reading list because they have found that clutter clearing helps people to address their emotional issues and lose weight more quickly.

If you have experienced this effect yourself, please email me to let me know. I am compiling material for new books and articles and would love to hear from you.

This newsletter comes to you from Bali, where I am leading a Space Clearing Practitioner Training in the Bali Mandala Conference Centre at my hotel, Dancing Dragon Cottages. It's for the people who joined the training programme in 2007 and are now in the final stages of becoming registered as practitioners. Hopefully they will all complete their training in the next two months and I will be able to announce a string of new practitioners in various parts of the world.

Other Space Clearing news is that I've just heard that Tracey Stanton, who is based in New York state, USA, is planning to visit Sweden in September to teach some workshops and do private consultations. A large percentage of the people on my mailing list are from Scandinavia and it's been several years since I taught there myself, so this is very good news for all the Swedish people who email me to ask when there will be some workshops in their part of the world again. 

CLUTTER CLEARING STORY OF THE MONTH
This month's featured clutter clearing story comes from Maggie D...

"Dear Karen, I read Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui" and applied your principles to energetically streamline my life several years ago. Recently, I moved in with my boyfriend, a wonderful man, who is still sorting through his 'old life.' I bought my boyfriend a copy of your book.

Well, the book sat around for a while. As time passed I repeatedly moved the book into view, brought it to the top of the pile. My boyfriend was too busy and distracted by his other 'stuff' to look at it. Finally, two days ago, I was feeling particularly congested and depressed amid the household clutter. That night I pulled my boyfriend into bed and read to him aloud the first three chapters of your book, until he fell asleep.

In the morning the two of us were a de-cluttering machine. We threw out enormous piles of garbage and junk, re-arranged furniture in every room of the house, and went through every loose slip of paper. My boyfriend found several undeposited checks payable to him totaling more than $3000... and he finished filing his taxes. We were so energized by the momentum of our spring clean, we didn't stop until 4 o'clock the next morning.

This morning I woke feeling like a new human being. I eagerly did my exercises (it had been a while). My boyfriend visibly looks like a weight has lifted from his shoulders. We had been talking about moving... now we both love the house and want to stay. Even our dog looks peppier. All that clearing inspired by just the first three chapters of your book. I can't wait to read him the next three chapters. Thank you from every fiber of my being."

THE QUEST FOR GREAT WORKSHOP VENUES
To conduct a successful Space Clearing workshop requires days, if not months, of searching for a venue that will be conducive to landing high level energies. For quite a while now we have been looking for a good workshop venue in the Greater London area of the UK and in the San Francisco Bay area. The meeting room for a Space Clearing or Clutter Clearing workshop ideally needs to be symmetrically-shaped with natural daylight, windows that open to let in fresh air, a seating capacity of 60 people or more, in a quiet location, and (very important) with no restrictions about lighting supervised candles. In London, it also needs to be reasonably close to a tube station. If you can recommend such a place, please email my International Office at info@spaceclearing.com to tell us about it. Thank you!

A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY COURSE IN BALI 
I've never seen a Bali course book so fast! Perhaps it's because this is the last time I will ever teach it, and everyone who has ever thought about taking it is now finding a way to get to Bali to attend it. There are still places available but so if you want to come to this course, book sooner rather than later. There is more information about the course in the Upcoming Space Clearing Events section below.
