Improve Your Bedroom with Feng Shui
Feng Shui may be new to you, but it has a massive historical signficance as the dominant theory in China for thousands of years. On a personal level, you can use it to make your bedroom a more restful and intimate room.
Feng shui is about being in harmony with your surrounding environment. This occurs trough the placement of items in a space in such a manner as to make sure the flow of energy is unimpeded and, for lack of a better word, smooth.
The first step to giving your bedroom a tuneup has to do with indoor pollution. It is unhealthy to let air become stale and cluttered with dust, dirt and germs. Open the windows and get the circulation going to immediately feel better.
If you want to watch the television, you should go to a room set up for that purpose. The bedroom should not be that room. The focus of energy in your bedroom should be on the bed, so ditch the tv distraction.
The second phenomena of clutter in the bedroom is the exercise equipment. Whether you end up using it as a clothes hanger or actually use it for exercise, the bedroom is not the place to have it. It interferes with the flow of energy so move it out.
The bedroom is a place of rest and tranquility. As such, the lighting need not be blazing like the sun. Use soft lighting bulbs and a dimmer to give it a softer feel. Light is a key manifestation of Feng Shui, so always keep it in mind.
In concert with the lighting are the colors used in the bedroom. Neon or aggressive colors are a bad idea. Soothing, tranquil colors should be used with a soft blending pattern. Try to use organic skin colors ranging from off white to darker brown.
The bed is, of course, the focal point of the bedroom. The rules are sharply defined. It must be placed where it can be walked up to on three sides. Never place it directly in front of the door used to enter or leave the room.
If you find your love life or sleep to be lacking, Feng Shui strategies can really make a difference in the bedroom. The idea of creating energy flows and harmony has been around for thousands of years, so give it a try.
