There are different schools, theories and ways of thinking with Feng Shui. I found it confusing at times because of that. Taking the compass to your home and item placement for example. Instead I focus on what feels right for me and my home. Getting rid of clutter, making room for good energy to enter my home, that kind of thing. I really like Karen Kingston's books on getting rid of clutter in your life. Creating Sacred Space really resonated with me and I want to read it again soon. Right now I have been using Mary Lambert's The Declutter Workbook to help me work my way through our new house and get things organized.
