Feng Shui for the Bedroom

If you take a look around your bedroom, you may already do several of these things on a sub-conscious level. I know for myself, since I have been living on my own I have a thing with placing my bed facing the door. That is the only way I can sleep comfortably.

According to Skye Alexander you need to face your bed facing the door because you will feel more secure and comfortable.

-Do not place your bed under a slanted ceiling or a beam because that reduces the amount of chi that can circulate around your bed.

-Keep your closet doors shut to avoid being distracted by the energies of the things in your closet.

-Place matching nightstands on both sides of your bed because the number two signifies partnership and harmony.

-Place a pair of matching lamps on the nightstand because light is a favorite activating and augmenting Feng Shui cure.

-Since the color pink is associated with love and romance, try to incorporate some pink into your color scheme.

-Incorporate something red in the colors you are using because red is connected with passion and vitality. Use this color sparingly because red is a strong color and could interfere with restful sleep.

-Tie a nine inch long red ribbon on your bedroom's doorknob because this will attract good luck and invite love into your life.

-To strengthen the commitment and stability in your romantic relationship, paint your walls white.

-By using Blue in your color scheme for the bedroom you will promote tranquility.

I do not know why, but I have always did this in my bedroom: I have a small vase with a few silk purple flowers in it. Purple is the color of the Crown Chakra and a strong spiritual color. According to Skye Alexander by placing the color purple in the room, it will help you can gain insight and guidance while you sleep.

-Place a piece of Rose Quartz on each of the nightstands because this gem emits gentle, pleasing vibrations that promote harmony and ease in a relationship.

-If you place two candles in your bedroom you are inviting romance-Try to choose red and pink candles

-Do not allow dirty clothes to collect in your bedroom. Place them in a laundry hamper and keep in another room

-Keep your bedroom free of clutter

-Clean out your closet on regular bases getting rid of things that you longer want

-Replace worn out bedspreads and curtains. This is something I believe so strongly in. One of my little pet-peeves is my bedroom curtains and bed comforter need to not only smell fresh but the energy needs to feel fresh. Most of the time I wash them both regularly but sometimes after my Spring cleaning adventure I will treat us to new curtains and a new comforter especially if I want to change color schemes.

-Wash the windows in your bedroom regularly because in Feng Shui windows represent the eyes.

-Place a vase of red or pink roses in your bedroom. There is nothing more special than having fresh flowers in your bedroom. Flowers represent growth

-Hang two bells on your doorknob to encourage romantic harmony. When entering your bedroom ring the bells to disperse any stuck or negative chi that may be lingering in the room.

-Mist your bed with romantic fragrances. One of my most favorite things to do is mist my pillows with a Lavender-Vanilla Mist or a Jasmine-Vanilla Mist. Both can be purchased at Bath and Body Works
