What you want your bedroom to be, is a place of quiet and refuge where the cares and concerns of the day can be left behind. So is it a quiet, yin-filled place or does it burst with yang? London-based Feng Shui expert and author Aroon Ajmera guides us about what we might need to change in our bedroom.
- Location: The master bedroom should ideally be located at far right from the front door of your house or flat, at the back of the home, overlooking a pleasant view. This area of your home represents your relationship corner of your house
- Decor tips: Soft materials and furnishing are very desirable. Pale colours are good for walls for creating a calming environment. Do check the colour suitability based on your element. Add touches of red for love. A large plant refreshes the room. Candles represent passion. Rounded furniture stimulates creativity and romance.
- Create a sanctuary: How does your bedroom feel? Is it welcoming? Is it relaxing? Does it nurture your soul? Remove anything that isn't related to the purpose of a bedroom. It will be creating a conflict of energy. Desks, computers and bookshelves belong in a study. Televisions, clock radios and answering machines lower the quality of your sleep with their electromagnetic pollution. Avoid all electrical appliances, particularly the TV. It is also a vibrant, yang energy in the yin energy of your bedroom, which can make it a less relaxing environment for sleep. If you cannot remove such appliances, then place them at least 8 feet away from your head.
- Ideal position of your bed: Feng Shui always takes into account your subconscious (inner self), as your inner feelings influence your stress levels. The ideal bed position while sleeping is always one with a view of the doorway. However, never sleep directly facing one. The powerful energy force entering the door can cause health problems by weakening your own Chi. Sleep with a solid wall behind you for an increased sense of security. Ideally, you don't want to be sleeping under a window for the same reasons.
- Treat yourself to the best bed: Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it is worth investing in the best bed you can buy. Try out several until you find the one that works for you. Avoid metal beds as they have tendency to absorb and retain electromagnetic radiation from other sources. Beds retain the vibes of the people who used them. If someone who was unwell with serious illness for a long time, chances are, the negative vibes in the bed would affect the person using it afterwards. This is the same for houses. A happy home becomes supportive and harmonious for the new owners and an unhappy home needs space-clearing to remove the negative energy. It is therefore, a good idea to replace your bed when you are starting a new life with someone. Buying a new bed is a good way to support a new beginning in your life.
- Strengthen your support: A solid headboard is a must. This gives an increased sense of support and nourishment to your head. A round one is preferable to a square one. Wooden or padded can create a more romantic mood.
- Togetherness: Couples should always sleep on a double bed. Sleeping on two separate beds or one bed with single mattresses suggests an unstable relationship and can lead to separation.
- Remove mirrors: Mirrors are an integral part of any bedroom and sometimes they are placed alongside or over the bed for added excitement in marital relationships. Mirrors reflecting your bed will drain your energy even during the sleep. They tend to act as stimulant, making it difficult for you to rest and relax. To wake up feeling fresh and lively, place mirrors inside wardrobe doors or cover them with thin fabric curtains while you sleep.
- A word of caution: Avoid positioning your bed under a beam or a sloping ceiling. Beams can cause rifts in relationships and lead to poor health, whereas slopes push the energy down on top of you making you feel oppressed. If relocating of your bed is impossible, disguise the beam by painting it the same colour as the ceiling to render it less harmful or hang a soft fabric from the ceiling to conceal the beam.
- Eliminate sharp corners: Sharp edges create poison arrows and create health hazards in the long run. Lie on your bed and look around your bedroom. Do you have corners of walls pointing towards any part of your bed? Do you have large pieces of furniture creating a sharp point that comes towards you as you sleep? They will be affect your health, and specifically the part of your body they cut across. You can remedy this by softening the edges. For the corner of a wall, this can be done by placement of a plant, creating a shield to disperse this cutting energy.
