Bedroom Feng Shui

Your bedroom is your sanctuary and whether you are currently living alone or share your bedroom with a partner, it is the place you escape to, to refresh your body, mind and spirit.

Having your bedroom as a multi-function room is inauspicious Feng Shui.  Your bedroom is a place of rest and as such there should be more Yin than Yang elements.

Televisions, exercise equipment or even work creates too much Yang Energy.  It can result in lack of sleep, restlessness and the inability to totally relax.

It’s also important to keep the room clear of clutter, whether it is in cupboards, drawers or under the bed.

When decorating this very important room, the colours you choose will have an impact on the type of Energy you attract.

Earth element colours are always auspicious.  They are grounding colours and also Yin so are perfect for your bedroom.  Depending on the stage you are in your life, the accessories you choose will vary.  Young people or couples can introduce elements of brighter Yang into the accessories.  More mature couples benefit from darker shades to create relaxation and peace.

You will benefit from your bed having a solid headboard and being placed against a solid wall.  This provides you with support and security while you sleep.

If space allows, the best position for your bed is diagonally opposite the bedroom door.  If this means your bed is underneath a window this can create a lack of support.  If you have no other option, then at least ensure you have a heavy window covering closed at night to provide support.

A major bedroom taboo is having a mirror reflecting your bed.

This suggests inviting a third party into your relationship.  The third party can be a rival, a family member or even work.  It also creates an unsettled feeling which can prevent you from sleeping well.

What is opposite your bedroom door?  Is it a bathroom door?  Is it the staircase?  Is it another bedroom?

The best solution to these situations is to place some kind of ‘barrier’ between the two.  If you have the space, hang a six-rod hollow metal windchime.  The rods will absorb any negative Energy created and the movement of the wind chime will dissipate the Energy.

En-suite rooms are a fact of our modern life.  They do, however, cause inauspicious Energy.  If you have an en-suite door that is positioned at the side of your bed, is it possible for you to block your sight of it with a free standing screen?

If you have overhead cupboards above your head when you sleep, or a beam, this has the effect of pressing down on your head.  It can cause headaches.

A canopy over the bed or a four poster bed with a canopy is an effective way of hiding any overhead beams.

Next time we will look at C-Career.
