Yard sales and garage sales give you an opportunity to find some great items that fit into your space without spending a lot of money.

As long as you pay attention to the energy inherent in an item you are purchasing, it's perfectly okay to Feng Shui your home with garage sale finds.

Sometimes, you'll just feel that a particular item has negative energy surrounding it. A Feng Shui space cleansing can help give them item new life and positive energy in your home. But having a garage sale is also good Feng Shui. Here's why:

A yard sale gives you the opportunity to:

- Get rid of old, unwanted items in an environmentally-friendly way
- Help others by giving them access to items they can use at a low price
- Clear the clutter from your home
- Reminisce about different phases of your life as you sort through old items; understanding who you were can help give you a better picture of who you are now and where you want to be in the future
- Meet interesting people and spend time with your neighbors if you plan a multi-family garage sale
- Earn a few extra bucks

Increase Your Income and Invite Opportunities

By clearing away old items that no longer serve you, you are paving the way for new items and opportunities to enter your life. The act of so many people handing you money will create an abundance mindset; you may find yourself attracting money in different ways all summer.

How to Start a Feng Shui Garage Sale

Get a few of your neighbors together, set a date, post signs around the neighborhood and place an ad on Craig's List. Expect a few early birds looking for deals, so make sure you're set up about 15 minutes before the start time. Price items low to make sure they sell so you have less to pack up in the evening.

Use the money you earn to have a neighborhood pot luck barbecue after the sale and keep the positive energy (and good food and drinks!) flowing late into the night.
