Do you toss and turn in bed at night or wake up in the morning still feeling tired and lethargic? The cause of your sleeping problems could be your very own bedroom! It might be congested with bad energy and negative vibes. Applying feng shui principles can solve this problem. A friend used to suffer from terrible migraines that miraculously disappeared after rearranging his bed and changing the color of his bedroom walls! The following are practical tips on how to apply feng shui principles in your bedroom to promote a harmonious flow of nourishing and sensual energy and promises relaxation and a good night sleep. Energy from the TV, computer or any kind of exercise equipment ruins the feng shui in the bedroom. Leave all that to the spare room or living room. Make sure that you have good quality air in your bedroom. Open the windows often or use a good quality air-purifier to keep the air fresh and full of oxygen. You cannot maintain a positive energy flow in your bedroom if the air you breathe in is stale and full of pollutants. Never place plants inside a small bedroom. Only put plants in a large bedroom, far from the bed. You should also never have a water feature in the bedroom, no matter which feng shui area your bedroom is located in, as the water element brings the energy of worry into the bedroom. Good lighting is very important, as light is one of the strongest manifestations of energy. Have several levels of lighting in your bedroom, or use a dimmer switch to adjust the energy accordingly. Candles are the best feng shui bedroom lighting, but be sure to buy candles with no toxins. Use soothing colors to achieve a good feng shui balance in your bedroom. Feng Shui bedroom decor is a balanced decor that promotes the best flow of energy (chi) for restorative sleep, as well as sexual healing. Best feng shui colors for the bedroom are considered the so-called "skin colors", and we know the colors of human skin vary from pale white to rich chocolate brown. Choose colors within this range that will work best for your bedroom decor. Be mindful of the images you put in your bedroom, as images carry powerful feng shui energy. Unless you enjoy being sad and lonely, do not use sad and lonely images in your bedroom. Keep all the bedroom doors closed at night, be it the closet doors, the en-suite bathroom door or the bedroom door. This will allow for the best and most nourishing flow of energy to strengthen your health, as well as the health of your relationship. Follow the basic feng shui guidelines for your Bed, which are:
have your bed easily approachable from both sides, have two bedside tables (one on each side) and avoid having the bed in a direct line with the door. A "good looking" and well-balanced bed is very important in creating a perfect feng shui bedroom. Good mattress, solid headboard and high quality sheets from natural fibers are also very important in creating harmonious feng shui energy.About the Author:
