Feng Shui Your Bedroom
On average, one third of your life is spent in your bedroom. I
think it is practically impossible to waste money on creating the
perfect bedroom because it affects you more than any other room
in your house. If your love life seems stale or is nonexistent,
if your health could use some improvement or if you are looking
for a new or different outlook on life, these simple bedroom tips
might work for you:
- Change as much as you can about your bedroom furnishings, wall
color and accessories, keeping in mind that this room is only
about passion, rest and self-nurturing. Try to get a good balance
of the five elements as well as honoring the shapes and colors
of the house your bedroom falls within.
- If you are looking for a major change, then stretch yourself
and make major decor changes within the bedroom. In other words,
don't buy the same old comfort zone stuff that will get you into
the same old love- and health-life situations!
- Buy a wooden bed if you have the choice. Metal beds can conduct
electricity, which can be a health concern. Try not to place anything
electrical near your bed, and do not use electric blankets (even
if they are plugged in but not turned on they can be harmful!),
heating pads or massage pads.
- Check the lighting level to see if it is not too harsh (yang)
or too dim (yin). Listen for distracting sounds and try to alleviate
or remove them.
- Avoid large living plants in the bedroom.
- Avoid large mirrors in the room if you are not sleeping well.
- Avoid sharp metal within the bedroom (knives, axes, swords,
guns, scissors, etc.).
- Create a headboard for the bed and place it against the most
solid wall in the room. If your bed is in line with a doorway,
hang a crystal between the bed and that area.
