Healthy Space |
Since we spend approximately one third of our lives sleeping, the bedroom should represent a place of refuge, serenity and peace. It needs to convey a nurturing and loving environment. If your bedroom is full of clutter and chaos, your body will identify with that energy; in turn, you will not sleep soundly. The master bedroom is a place that should glow with sensuality. Artwork that depicts happy couples, pairs of things, flowers and romantic sunsets are recommended. Create an environment that encourages intimacy and romance. It is wise to only keep photos of you and your partner in your bedroom. Pictures of family members and children can be displayed in other rooms of your home. If you are looking for a mate, convey this message in your bedroom. Prepare your room to invite romance and room for two. Sleeping on a single bed or a bed pushed against a wall conveys the message that there is no room in your life for a partner. Why not leave some empty drawers and closet space for your new mate to arrive? A sturdy headboard is essential, for shaky headboards can lead to unstable relationships. Keep pairs of things or artwork that depicts pairs in your room, such as two candlesticks or a sculpture of a man and a woman. The far right corner from the entrance to your bedroom is your Relationship area. Be conscious of what is placed there. Does this space house a pile of dirty laundry or a beautiful blossoming plant? Make sure this corner is clutter free and decorated appropriately to invite or enhance your love relationship. Your bed should always be positioned so that you may view the door. However, the bed should not be in a direct line with the door, for this can lead to health issues as well as disrupted sleep. If you must keep your bed aligned with the door, place a large plant or other object in front of the bed to create a shield between you and the door. If you cannot view the door, a part of you will always stay alert waiting for someone to enter. One remedy for this would be to hang a mirror on the wall to give you a clear view of the doorway. As desks, computers and exercise equipment are associated with activity, they are best not located in a bedroom, for the feeling of rest will be forced right out of the room. Having a desk or computer in your bedroom also indicates that work will interfere with your relationship. Exercise equipment might imply that your relationship is a workout. A mirror directly across from your bed can lead to disrupted sleep. Mirrors activate energy and can cause restlessness and insomnia. If the mirror cannot be moved, cover it at bedtime with a fabric. If mirrored closet doors face the bed, hang a curtain that you can draw closed at bedtime. Choose furnishings without sharp edges, which are of obvious danger to body parts. It is unfavorable for your health to have a ceiling fan or large lighting fixture directly over the bed. This can lead to health problems depending on where the fixture is positioned over your body. For example, if the light is directly over your legs you may suffer from joint pain or arthritis. If you must have a fixture over your bed, make sure its shape is globelike, which is far kinder to your body. Pointed objects emanate invisible rays and poison arrows. The principle of Feng Shui is to create ease and harmony; therefore, flowing curves rather than pointed objects are preferred. Since most television programs contain violence or bad news, it is not advisable to watch TV in the bedroom. If you insist, keep the television in an enclosed cabinet when you are not watching it. Televisions, clock radios and computers give off electromagnetic energy and are best kept at least eight feet away from the body, particularly the head. If you need to keep your alarm clock next to you, it's best to have one that is battery operated. Finally, if seeking a partner, remember to partake in activities that connect you with others. If you are in a relationship but having difficulties, utilize counseling. Along with applying Feng Shui principles to encourage romance, serenity and peace in the bedroom, do whatever else is necessary to achieve the happiness you deserve. Remember: all love begins with loving yourself. This is the key to happiness.
