Hi People, Karen just blew me away. She is clearly a gifed woman who taught me a lot about energy & materialistic objects. This was an area I knew nothing about before. Her book is very clear & easy to read. I recommend this book to everyone. The only thing it does not get into much detail about is Feng Shui but the Space Clearing needs to be done before the Feng Shui set up anyway. Enjoy Everyone !!!! http://www.sensualforyou.com/site2

Excellent, but problematic
Ms. Kingston focuses almost entirely on a particular aspect of Feng Shui that
seems to get left out of every other book I have read. She clearly explains
everything she knows about this and her own personal experiences upon which
it is all based. But, as useful as that is, it is also the beginning of the
problem. She found her path, it seems, by herself. Her practice is based on
what she learned for herself, by starting with learning to sense vibrational
energies. The things she has accomplished with it on that basis are extraordinary;
but she lacks a real grounding in tradition. Her practice is derived, in part,
from traditional Balinese practices. It is not really Feng Shui, but instead
has a dollop of the commonest bit tossed in at the end. She ultimately makes
it clear that she does not understand what Feng Shui really is. But it isn't
really her bailywick in the long run: What she does is absolutely excellent,
but it must be recognized exactly where her strength lies. This is a book, based
in Balinese tradition and the author's personal experience, about clearing the
energy of a place. As that it is astonishingly excellent, beyond anyone's wildest
hopes. But it is not about Feng Shui, which is a related but distinct tradition--
perhaps the one among all the related methods in the world which is most elevated
to the level of a science.
A reader , July 15, 1998 Absolutely Excellent!
I've read it three times!
A most meaningful, informative and instructive guide for helping to get
your life on track. By clearing out the old 'stuff' that accumulates in
our life- both material and emotional - that we hang onto for no reason,
or for the wrong reason, Ms. Kingston shows that we can make room for more
abundance and blessings to come to us. Written in a straight forward and
easy to follow manner, I read the book once through first, then again as
I prepared to do the Space Clearing, then again after as followup. I am
already seeing the results in my life and recommending this book to friends
who want to change their lives. Note: I also ordered THE COMPLETE GUIDE
TO FENG SHUI... by Lillian Too. It was helpful, but should be read after
this one by Ms. Kingston.
A reader , April 22, 1998 I think this
will change my life . . .
I am just in the beginnings of this book, but it has changed me already.
Believe me, I am not one for crystals and incense -- I'm as skeptical as
the best of them. But her words -- they inspire even a cynic like me. I
plan to begin the clutter-removal process this weekend and I'm actually
looking forward to it, if you can believe it! By simplifying your space,
you can ultimately simplify your life. This is absoultely an incredible
find.

I can't wait to put it to practice!
This is one of the most action-inspiring books I have ever read. The part
on clearing old clutter is especially motivating, so if you have closets,
basements and attics full of things you almost never use and want to create
space in your life for something fresh and new to arrive, read this book!
The Space Clearing ceremonials sound refreshing, and I will definitely try
them out. Imagine living in a space where every object has a special and
uplifting meaning to you and where the energies are constantly refreshing
and relaxing. This could be your home if you practice the simple advice
given in this book.

, January 5, 1998 I am thoroughly enjoying it!!!!
I am in the middle of reading this book & am thoroughly enjoying it!!!
I am looking forward to becoming clutter free - it's just that first thousand
steps (it seems) to start & continue clearing clutter - the book is
motivating me, though!!! I really enjoy her (Karen Kingston's) writing!!!
- very easy, fun & interesting!!!

9, 1997 you can cut the air with a knife
An excellent book. fully recommended. It was an uplifting experience to
clear all the physical clutter then the emotional clutter started to move
on. I feel alot better about my house, undoubtly the previous occupants
had left behind their bad energy and it had effected our lives. Now I know
how to deal with bad leftover energy each time I move and I will be leaving
the next occupants my good energy. Hoping to meet the author in Bali
A reader , August 4, 1997 saved me from
a life of impending-cluttered doom
This book was a life changer. Or, in my case, a life-saver. Pardon me if
this review starts to sound like,"True Stories of a clutter-junkie",
but that's exactly what I was. Yes, my name is Amy, and I am a recovering
stuff-hoarder. But for all you other stuff-hoarders out there, there is
help. This book is THE only motivation that has worked for me. And what
the author says is true!! It really works!! You CAN clear your clutter,
and you CAN create sacred space that other's simply adore. So buy the book,
buy a bunch of garbage bags, buy a mop, and get ready to impress friends
and loved-ones. After seeing the change my house took, even my mother-in-law
wanted to stay and enjoy the space (Thanfully, the book also teaches you
how to simply remove negative energy!! *:)*)

on thier life. Even for the sceptic, this book is highly recommended. A
truly great book on an important subject from onbe of the worlds leading
authorities.
