feng shui SLEEP

A good feng shui bedroom is one that promotes a harmonious flow of nourishing and sensual energy; it invites you, lures you in, excites and calms at the same time. It is pleasurable to be in, whether you are there for a quick nap or a good night's sleep.

To create the most harmonious feng shui bedroom, use a variety of simple, practical feng shui tools, such as these:

• Move the TV, computer or exercise equipment out of your bedroom. The good feng shui energy in your bedroom is destroyed when these items are present.

• Open the windows often or use a good quality air-purifier to keep the air fresh and full of oxygen. This will improve the quality of air in your bedroom. You cannot have good feng shui in your bedroom if the air you breathe in is stale and full of pollutants. However, plants in the bedroom are not good feng shui, unless your bedroom is fairly large and the plants are located far from the bed.

• Have several levels of lighting in your bedroom, or use a dimmer switch to adjust the energy accordingly. Good, appropriate lighting is very important, as light is our No. 1 nutrient and one of the strongest manifestation of energy. Candles are the best feng shui bedroom lighting, but be sure to buy candles with no toxins.

• 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 most nourishing flow of energy to strengthen your health, as well as the health of your relationship.

• Use soothing colors to achieve a good feng shui balance. Balanced decor promotes the best flow of energy for restorative sleep, as well as sexual healing. Feng shui colors for the bedroom are considered the so-called "skin colors," such as pale white to rich chocolate brown.

• Choose the colors within this range that work best for your bedroom decor.

• Choose images for your bedroom wisely, as images carry powerful feng shui energy. The best advice for bedroom art is to choose images you would want to see happening in your life. Avoid sad and lonely images, for example. Follow the basic guidelines for your bed, which include having the bed easily approachable from both sides, having two bedside tables (one on each side) and preventing the bed from being in a direct line with the door.

• A "good looking" and well-balanced bed is very important, too. A good mattress, solid headboard and high quality sheets from natural fibers are also very important in creating harmonious feng shui energy.
