Feng Shui Q & A: Storing Purses

Storing Purses the Feng Shui Way

A Feng Shui Friend Asks

Q. Is there anything wrong to place and store purses and bags in a storage bench which is placed at the bottom of the bed where the foot rest usually goes? In other words are bags supposed to be hung or placed on the shelves some where in the room or there is no Feng Shui right or wrong about where you store your purses/bags?

A. Storage is absolutely a Feng Shui issue, so thank you for asking about it. We’re going to take a look at yin and yang to determine the best place for these purses.

Yin energy is low, dark, deep, curvy, detailed, meandering, colder…

Yang energy is high, bright, at your finger tips, straight, plain, flat, hotter…

The storage bench sounds as if it provides more yin than yang, tucked away, out of sight, in a dark, cold container. Ideally, what goes in a storage container is congruent with its energy. Therefore, in yin storage goes winter decorations, sweaters, blankets, archived papers, memorabilia from one’s past, rarely used items; into yang storage (open shelves, brightly lit, clearly labeled, organized or displayed beautifully) place items often used or quickly needed.

Additionally, take a look at our recent blog post about Feng Shui for Purses. This will also shed some light on your decision.
 

So, there’s no right nor wrong way to do Feng Shui. We’re creating environments that are harmonious with our daily intentions and ideas, and help facilitate our life-long dreams and goals.

Thanks for the questions!!
