Why Cable Messes Drain Energy

Huge mare’s nests of cables have always drove me crazy.  Having recently had to re-locate our home PC to another room for a bit, when I put it back to its location in our living room, I just plugged everything back in so it would work, forgoing the nice cable management I took the time to install on the table it sits on.  It bugs me, but I haven’t had time to clean up the mess dangling from the table.

Then I read this post by Christine Kane this morning explaining the feng shui of how those huge cable messes sap energy (spiritual energy, that is).  I can’t say I accept or dismiss the principals of feng shui – I’m truly on the fence with this one, but one of them I learned a while ago, having your desk face the door, is one I’ve followed whenever I can.  Whether my chi is affected or not, most of the time the practices “feel right” and I feel better (which I suppose is the whole point.)  Either way I can at least justify my OCD tendencies toward wire ties.

Update:  I re-read the original post and felt it a little harsh on the whole feng shui thing.  I re-worded my statement a bit.
