| Simple Solution
For A Feng Shui Bedroom
Your bedroom is your ultimate inner sanctum where you are
at your most vulnerable while you sleep and recharge your
chi. From a yin/yang perspective, this is a more yin, quiet
and peaceful environment; you need to feel protected and do
not want distracting and powerful chi to disturb you. At the
same time, there needs to be a good circulation of chi and
plenty of fresh air available to recharge you.
Here are 16 Feng Shui bedroom
tips. Make this all-important room a sanctuary:
* Ideally, the bedroom should
be as far away as possible from the front door, mirroring
the practice of our prehistoric ancestors who did not sleep
in the mouth of their cave.
* On entering your bedroom,
note where the windows are located. Chi tends to travel between
the door and any windows, so avoid positioning your bed in
line with this ‘draught’ of chi.
* Position your bed so that
you can see the door from where you sleep. This gives you
a deep sense of inner security.
* If it is feasible, position
your bed as far away from the door as possible.
* Avoid sleeping with your
head close to a window as your chi will dissipate through
the window and make you feel more tired on awakening.
* If you have a bathroom,
toilet or shower leading off your bedroom, make sure that
the toilet door is always shut while you are asleep.
* To help you protect your
own chi while you are asleep, to internalize it and recharge
it, make sure you have a strong, stable headboard. Chi energy
enters and exits the body through the feet, hands and the
top of the skull, Having a solid ‘mountain’ behind
you while you sleep is far more beneficial than a cold, blank
wall or worse, the cutting chi of an ornate brass bedstead.
* If you sleep with another
person, note the position of your bed relative to the wall
that it is up against. Is it equidistant--in the middle of
the wall? This is vital in a relationship as it gives both
individuals who share the bed equality in the relationship.
A shared bed crammed into the corner of a room, is giving
more freedom of chi to the individual on the open side whereas
the partner will literally and symbolically feel up against
a wall.
* Make sure all bedside tables
have rounded edges and not square to prevent cutting chi being
focused towards the occupants. If two sleep in the bed, ensure
matching beside tables on either side for added stability
and protection in the relationship.
* Ceiling beams above the
bed are a Feng Shui nightmare. They can be a source of cutting
chi and the beams carry a tremendous load, and this pressure
is focused into the beams generating chi which continues downwards,
placing direct pressure on you while you sleep. Some tips:
Paint the beams; drape fabric over the beams; hang bamboo
flutes 2-3 inches below the beam to soften the load (the flutes
are hung at a 45 degree angle to the beam with the mouthpiece
downwards).
* If you sleep with another,
make sure your bed is symbolic of this relationship. Beds
that are rickety or likely to fall part speak volumes about
the state of the relationship.
* Given that the bedroom is
a more yin environment, the lighting that you choose needs
to reflect this. Soft lighting is ideal. Avoid having ceiling
lamps right directly over your bed.
* Pastel colors are ideal.
* Avoid sleeping with your
image visible in a mirror. the worst scenario of all is a
mirror at the foot of your bed.
* Place something beautiful
that inspires you where you first look in the morning.
* Pay attention to what is
under your bed. Keep the space clear and get rid of any unwanted
items there.
