The author, Yue De Xing Jun (月德星君), explains in the simplest terms that decluttering is simply cleaning—both external (material) and internal (spiritual) aspects. It's about gradually reducing dependence on material things to pursue inner abundance, starting with external decluttering and moving towards internal separation. 👍 This book is especially valuable for those who study the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Four Pillars of Destiny (八字). It contains profound wisdom; take what you need. ☀️ The core message, "When I change, all my relatives change," emphasizes that changing oneself is the true essence of Feng Shui. ❤️ A single thought arises, a deep affection follows. We are all on a pilgrimage, and I wish all those on this journey will attain their own enlightenment. 🎁 Blessings to all…
