HOW TO FENG SHUI YOUR BEDROOM..
The ancient
Chinese method of Feng Shui helps us to balance our homes and create happier,
more successful lives, room by room. We often turn our attention to the
bedroom, the sanctuary where we can rest and recharge. Having the proper Feng
Shui in the bedroom can help your romantic life as well as your ability to rest
and to feel in control. You have to know how to keep the chi flowing, and how
to deflect any negative energy that may enter your room -- and your life. If
you want to know how to Feng Shui your bedroom, just see Step 1 to get started.
Applying
Feng Shui to Your Bed
1-Have a
solid headboard. The
best Feng Shui headboards are the ones that are solid and made from wood, or
the upholstered ones, as they have a very good combination of solid, but also
gentle and supporting Feng Shui energy for you and your bedroom. While you are
drifting off to sleep, your body is going into an extra busy energy repair work
on many levels. Subconsciously, your head needs good backing, protection and
support, just like your back needs it when you are sitting in a chair for
extended periods of time.
2-Get a
supportive mattress. There are a variety of mattresses on the market,
choose wisely and invest in the one that will promote best sleep and
relaxation. The better you sleep at night, the better your health during the
day, this is really simple. Be mindful of good Feng Shui and do not buy used
mattresses - you never know what energy they have accumulated from previous
owners.
3-Make
sure the bed is a good height. To allow for a balanced Feng Shui
energy flow under the bed, you need to have your bed at a reasonable height
above the floor level. Generally, the beds that have built-in storage drawers
underneath to help you with storage solutions are considered bad Feng Shui
beds. Why? Because the energy needs to circulate around your body when you
sleep, which is not possible if the
space underneath the bed is blocked.
4-Make
sure the bed is positioned as far from the door as possible. Place the
bed in the area further from the door or diagonally from the door, but not in
line with the door. In other words, you want to be able to see the door while
in bed, but not be aligned with the door. Be it the bedroom door, the door to
the balcony/patio, the bathroom door or your closet doors, you do not want your
bed in line with any of the doors in your bedroom, or too much chi will flow
towards the bed. Ideally, the bed can be diagonally positioned from the door,
jutting out from the opposite corner.
- Having your bed positioned too
close to the door can lead you to get startled by surprises that may come
your way. The further you are from the door, the more prepared you'll be
for what may come. This is the same reason why the bedroom should be as
far from the door as possible.
- However, ideally, when you wake
up, the door should be in your direct line of vision, or close to it, so
you feel that you have control over your life.
5-Have a
good supporting wall behind your bed. In addition to a good headboard,
you always want to have a solid wall behind your bed. When you sleep under the
window, your personal energy tends to get weaker in time, as it has neither
proper support, nor protection.
6-Place
grounding and balanced energy on both sides of the bed. Place two
nightstands on either side of the bed to create balance while you sleep.
Ideally, you can also place the same lamp on both nightstands, to add some soft
lighting to your bedroom. This balance is important for keeping you centered,
and especially for maintaining equality in a relationship if you share the
bedroom with your partner.
- Ideally, the nightstands should
be round instead of square to cut the chi energy that may be directed
toward you, which can also be thought of as the "poison arrows."
7-Keep
your bed far away from any TVs, desks, or other distractions. Ideally,
you should move your desk and television out of your bedroom, so the bedroom
truly becomes a place where you can rest and relax. However, we all have
limited space, so if you do have a television or a desk in your room, position
it as far from your bed as possible to not get in the way of the bed's positive
energy. If you can, drape a light scarf or blanket over the TV or desk, or even
cover it up with a Japanese folding closet to create even more space.
8-Avoid
a mirror that faces your bed or a mirrored set of closet doors. If
these mirrors are fixtures that you can't get rid of, then drape some fabric
over them. Left exposed, they are thought to disturb your sleep. In general,
you should avoid having mirrors in your bedroom, especially if you're sharing
it with a romantic partner, because they may open up a space for infidelity.
Mirrors are also too energetic for such a restful space.
