FENG SHUI & SLEEP (Part One)
Seven Feng Shui Tips For A Good Night’s Sleep
Do you have difficulty sleeping? Correcting poor Feng Shui may helpful.
1. Begin with the décor or your bedroom. Use soft, nurturing fabrics and colors--like light blues, or colors that blend with your own skin tones--from cream to chocolate brown. Warm colors such as beiges, browns, and gold work, too.
Pink is also good--both as a main color or an accent. The best shade is one that blends with your skin.
2. Whenever possible, place your bed in a commanding position-- i. e. it should have a clear view of your bedroom door. Your bed should face the door, but not be directly in front of it. If this isn’t possible, position a mirror across from your bed so that it clearly reflects the door.
3. Avoid anything that represents activity such as a TV, computer, exercise equipment, ceiling fan, family photos, or brightly colored bedding.
If you need a ceiling fan, choose one with soft-edged blades and only run it when you really need it. If possible, hang a leaded, round, multifaceted crystal from the center of the fan or on one of the pulls.
4. High electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in your bedroom are also a major contributor to impaired sleep along with other health problems. Many Feng Shui consultants are trained to test for high EMF levels and geopathic stress.
Although this is not considered Feng Shui, many of us believe that it’s a key element for insuring that your home is balanced and safe.
5. The art in your bedroom should reflect positive images and portray how you want your life to be.
If you desire a relationship or wish to strengthen your marriage, avoid artwork that depicts solitary, lonely people. Instead display pictures of happy, loving couples, romantic scenery, or pairs of animals that you love and that mate for life.
6. If you’ve recently ended a relationship, had major health problems, or have suffered serious trauma, replace your bed. Beds hang on to energy—both good and bad.
7. Under-bed storage blocks nourishing energy from circulating around your body during sleep, so it’s important to keep that area clutter-free.
Along with considering how Feng Shui can contribute to a better night’s sleep, it’s important to seek proper medical advise if you’re not sleeping to assure that there are no underlying health issues that you should handle.
Next month, I will cover more Feng Shui tips to help you sleep well.
Sweet & peaceful dreams!
