I've lived in the same small studio apartment for 3 years, and I've signed a lease for another year. I only recently learned about feng shui, and it turns out the layout of my apartment is a disaster. The only place my bed fits is against the back wall (my career bagua), and this is directly across from my fame/reputation bagua...where there is a gas fireplace with a huge mirror above it! I recently covered the mirror with fabric, so the mirror is not visible at all. Is this enough, or should I also use crystals?
My other big problem is lack of storage space. I store some things under my bed, which I know is a feng shui no-no...but I literally have NO other place to store things. Clutter is a constant problem as it is.
Any suggestions for studio-dwellers?

Dear Anon,
Based on past precedence (experience); the only areas that one can apply FS to a small studio apartment is:-
1. Commonsense approach
Minimize clutter. This may be hardest but, it does make commonsense:)
2. Yin and Yang concept
Look at your life-style: Are you the type that uses your bedroom for sleep or work/study cum sleep?
If you make your room solely more for sleep (rest), than create a more cozy home. If you often do your work at home, than, make sure that there is a specific location, where you have your study/work location.
Have everything placed neatly for this activity close-by. Often, the ideal choice is to place this study/work location, close to a - perhaps have natural light filtering thru - for your work.
3. Otherwise, it is best to simply `forget' about Feng Shui, and get on with your life.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
