Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui

Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui – Karen Kingston

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt uncomfortable, or entered a home that felt peaceful and welcoming? According to Karen Kingston, a teacher and author known for her work on space clearing and feng shui, the energy of our homes and workplaces has a powerful effect on how we feel and how our lives unfold.

In Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, Kingston combines the principles of feng shui, the ancient Chinese practice of arranging spaces to harmonize the flow of energy, with techniques of space clearing that she learned in part during years spent living in Bali. She explains how stagnant energy can accumulate in buildings and how clutter, in particular, can drain energy and hold people back.

The book offers practical guidance on clearing clutter, cleansing and purifying spaces using techniques such as sound, incense, water and intention, and arranging rooms to support well-being. Kingston introduces the bagua, a feng shui map that relates different areas of a home to aspects of life such as relationships, career, health and prosperity, and suggests ways to enhance each area. She also discusses how to choose a home, how to create a sacred space for reflection, and how to maintain a positive atmosphere.

Written in a warm, accessible style, the book has been popular with readers interested in creating more harmonious living spaces.

Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui will appeal to readers interested in feng shui, decluttering, home design and spiritual practices. Its ideas are rooted in traditional and spiritual beliefs rather than scientific evidence, and readers can take what feels useful to them.
