Feng Shui for Bedroom Happiness

Use feng shui for bedroom comfort, romance, and relaxation!

When people ask about feng shui for bedroom and bed, they usually have one of two things in mind: relaxation and romance. And with good reason: these are the two things you should be saving your bedroom for!

This isn’t just a feng shui idea. Most sleep experts recommend keeping your bedroom sacred to rest and romance. In fact, some theorize that many sleep disorders originate from trying to do too much in your bedroom (acknowledging, perhaps, that a busy energy isn’t conducive to a restful one -- science catching up with feng shui at last?).

Feng Shui for Bedroom Rest

In this area, feng shui for bedroom comfort coincides with a lot of advice from scientists and sleep experts -- so even feng skeptics can enjoy these tactics without worrying about looking strange to their family and friends (hint, hint: it’s a great place to start a wishy-washy friend or family member along the path to feng shui!).

Follow these tips and enjoy a more restful, relaxing bedroom:

• Never work in your bedroom: no laptop in bed, studying on the floor, or desks in the corner. In those situations where it’s completely unavoidable, create a physical barrier (such as a folding screen) between your workspace and your rest space.

• Don’t use your bedroom for exercising -- it creates too active an energy.

• Don’t watch TV in bed. In fact, don’t even have a TV in the bedroom: the electromagnetic energy isn’t conducive to sleep.

• Avoid having mirrors in the bedroom as these can reflect sha chi back at you in your sleep.
  

• Position your bed so that you can see the door but your feet aren’t aiming straight at it.
  

These simple tips will help you create feng shui for bedroom relaxation. But what about...

Feng Shui for Bedroom Romance

Obviously, we mainly use our bedrooms for sleeping. But bedrooms also tend to be the romantic center of any couple’s relationship, so it’s worth keeping a strong romantic energy in the room, too. Even single people will benefit from emphasizing romance in their bedrooms, especially if they’re “looking” -- it can help create a receptive energy.

Follow these tips to emphasize romance:

• Keep the love and marriage sector of your bedroom clean, free of clutter, and full of pink, red, candles, rose quartz, pairs of items -- anything that evokes love.
  

• Treat both sides of the bed with equal respect and make sure one partner doesn’t dominate the room.

• If single, make sure there is physical space in the room for a prospective partner -- ie, space in the closet, the night stand, etc.
  

• Keep one or two romantic keepsakes (NOT from ex-lovers) in the room to help establish the mood.
  

By following this advice, you’ll keep your bedroom sacred to love and rest, enabling you to get more out of both. Remember, feng shui for bedroom life follows the same principle as all feng shui: emphasize the positive chi!
