Are you having trouble getting a good nights rest?  Does your mind wander through the hours into the night worrying about things you have no control over?  Is the economy keeping you up? How about those buyers that just can't make up their minds? Maybe you should try Feng Shui in your bedroom!

 

  • Avoid computers, televisions and video games in the bedroom. Close them off in armoires or behind a screen if you must have them in your bedroom.
  • Spend a little extra for a good quality mattress. Choose wooden beds over metal beds since metal beds can conduct electricity, which may not be positive chi.
  • Use soft drapes and soft, luxurious bedsheets and comforters.
  • Avoid keeping large living plants in the bedroom.
  • Keep garbage out of the bedroom.
  • Do not place fish tanks and fountains in bedrooms.
  • A line of Feng Shui crystal balls effectively create an invisible, protective line of energy around the bed if your bed faces an open doorway.
  • Close your curtains at night but be sure you let the sun stream in during the day to bring in positive energy. Check to see that curtains move easily are kept clean to allow fresh chi to come in.
  • Renew the chi in the bedroom by changing sheets regularly. It helps promote positive energy and maintain cleanliness too.
  • Add a touch of red - the color of love and warmth. A pillow in red or a bright red candle can do wonders for your bedroom.
  • Some vital Feng Shui bedroom tips for the kids' room - Limit the toys and clutter to boxes and closets. Decorate the ceilings with stars.


  When choosing colors for the Feng Shui bedroom avoid loud and overpowering palettes. Violets, lavenders, yellows, blues, whites and grays can help make your bedroom soothing and restful. Sleeping is a yin activity, therefore Feng Shui bedroom colors must not be stimulating which would  prevent peace and rest. Sharp angles and geometric shapes should also be avoided in the bedroom when possible.  Be sure to choose your colors from a palette that is neither too hot or too cold. A warm soothing atmosphere is the goal in a Feng Shui bedroom and can be created with the right blend of colors, lighting and furnishings.

Hi Erika... Those are great tips! Another one.. not related to Feng Shui...but can help you sleep.. is to turn the clock around. Those bright digital numbers staring you in the face keep you tossing and turning. They also keep your mind awake "3 more hours til I have to get up.. .2 more hours til I have to get up..etc.. etc.. " making you more restless. Have a blessed week! Vienna
