HEALTH
Do you get a good night's sleep?
Sleep is vital to your health and it determines how well you function
in your day. As the famous mattress ad goes, "tomorrow begins tonight."
From a Feng Shui perspective, there could be various reasons for this.
Your bedroom, your sanctuary.
This is an area where you spend a lot of time, which you rest, sleep,
play, dress and dream in. So make sure you have everything you need that
induces rest. Are your pillows clean and comfortable, and what about the
mattress? Is the room warm enough? Do you have your favourite sheets on
and do you change them regularly? Are you turning your mattress over regularly?
Do you have clutter under your bed? If you have bed draws under make sure
you keep them tidy and if possible only keep sheets or towels in them.
Health factors
Are you also getting enough exercise? Have you got a balanced diet? Remember
that the foods you consume also need to have not just a balance from a
dietary perspective but also from a yin and yang balance. For example,
microwave food is usually too much yang. Coffee keeps people awake. When
did you have that last cup and was it too close to bedtime? These are
factors you need to ask.
Feng Shui and sleep
Electronic items are not good to keep in your bedroom; they may give you
sleepless nights. The television for example is something many people
like having in their bedrooms, but what they don't seem to realise is
that it produces too much yang energy which disturbs sleep patterns.
Yin energy is important in bedrooms as it encourages rest and relaxation.
High also on the list are Hi-fi sets and even computers. So if you work
from home and have a workstation in your bedroom, it is bound to affect
your sleep. And to top it all computers and televisions also become a
mirror when switched off and work as a reflector. A cure for these problems
is keep them covered at night with a sheet.
Married couples could experience a strain in the marriage when the mirror
reflects the bed and it could mean the marriage becoming "crowded." So
in short it seem it is better to keep these gadgets out of the bedroom
for good. Having said that though.
Your bedroom décor
Is your bedroom painted in a bright fierce colour? That in it represents
yang energy. Rooms should preferably in soft pastel shades. Bed-sheets
too should be in pastels unless you have been feeling sluggish lately,
in which case red bed sheets should be just the right thing.
Lighting
Make sure that your room is sufficiently lit and yet not overdone. Soft
lampshades are fine but spotlights and harsh lighting do not help. On
the whole it is not easy to get everything right but trying something
new each time helps. So try getting just the right feel and you would
know what works for you. Make sure you hang some crystals in the window.
Your bedroom should have a romantic feel to it, with soft colours and
lighting. Hang some romantic or saucy pictures on the walls, or some loving
couples statues on your bedside or dressing table. Always keep it clean
and tidy. Visit our relationship page for further enhancers you can use.
Ps. If you have an en-suite make sure you always keep the door closed
and toilet seat down.
