Feng Shui Tip #3-The 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.

If you find that you are not sleeping very well, or you are having trouble focusing in school or work, try these minor Feng Shui remedies in your bedroom:

• On entering your bedroom, note where the windows are located. Chi tends to travel between the door and any windows rapidly, so avoid positioning your headboard in line with this “draught” of chi. If your headboard is in line with this wall, you will not be able to sleep as well, or focus as clearly during the day.
• Avoid positioning your bed with the foot facing the door. This is referred to as the “Death position”. Years ago, people typically died in their homes, and the custom was to always be carried out “feet first”.
• If you have a bathroom, toilet or shower leading off your bedroom, make sure that the door to this room is always closed, as is the toilet seat. Bathrooms are unlucky spaces in the home because as water flows away from the room (sink and toilet) so does your luck.
• If there is a TV in your bedroom, cover it with a towel before going to sleep (to stop the electrical waves eminating from it). These disturb your sleep.

Side note:

• If you are single and would like to attract someone of the opposite sex into your life, try hanging a picture of a mountain in your bedroom. You can also place a male sculpture (to attract men) or a female sculpture (to attract women) in your bedroom.
