Feng Shui Your Bedroom

by Karen Rauch Carter
woman_bed If your love life seems stale or is nonexistent and your health could use some improvement, these simple bedroom tips might work for you:

  • Change as much as you can about your bedroom furnishings, wall colour and accessories, keeping in mind that this room is only about passion, rest and self-nurturing. If you have anything in there that distracts from love and relaxation, then move it to another room

  • If you want to revamp your life, then stretch yourself and make major decor changes within the bedroom. On average, you spend a third of your life in the bedroom, so you should splash out on making it perfect. Remember not to buy the same old comfort zone stuff that will get you into the same old love and health-life ruts

  • Buy a wooden bed if you have the choice. Metal beds can conduct electricity, which can be a health concern. Try not to place anything electrical near your bed, and do not use electric blankets (even if they are not turned on they can be harmful), heating pads or massage pads

  • Make sure that the lighting isn't too harsh (yang) or too dim (yin). Listen for distracting sounds and try to alleviate or remove them

  • Avoid keeping large living plants in the bedroom

  • Avoid large mirrors in the room if you are not sleeping well

  • Remove any sharp metal objects you keep in the bedroom

  • Create a headboard for the bed and place it against the most solid wall in the room. If your bed is in line with a doorway, hang a crystal between the bed and that area.
