Having great bedroom Feng Shui will make you wake up with good energy, ready for whatever the day holds for you.
Since you spend more than six hours each night in this room, the Feng Shui (flow of energy) of your bedroom has a huge impact during sleep, which in turn affects your overall health and happiness. You'll avoid moodiness and be inspired to move forward – in school, at work, in your relationships and in all other aspects of your life. Follow these basic Feng Shui tips and you can start enjoying positive results immediately.
Tips for Things to Avoid
1. Remove or cover any mirrors in the bedroom during sleep. A
bedroom mirror that reflects the bed creates the most serious problems.
A single person is less apt to attract a romantic partner – in fact, the mirror doubles his or her solitude. A couple with a mirror reflecting the bed is more apt to attract
a third person who may disrupt their relationship. People with depression – and
related stress and health issues – also are affected by a mirror reflecting
the bed because it disturbs sleep. In all these cases, cover the mirror at
night… during waking hours it's fine to uncover your bedroom mirrors.
2. Reduce electromagnetic fields. Some people unknowingly
experience great problems with an electric alarm clock next to their head.
Children and students especially have to be aware of this. The electromagnetic
field can disturb your energy, as this is constant fire energy close to the
head and creates too much active energy for a time when you need to rest. Place
your alarm clock at least two meters – or as far as possible – away
from your bed. Also, a small, battery-operated alarm clock is preferable to
one that plugs into the wall, since it creates a much smaller electromagnetic
field.

3. Remove any water images from the bedroom. Water creates an energy field of too much emotion. When people have water in their bedroom, it can also create problems in their relationship... including lack of passion, because the water cools down the fire. It can also interfere with concentration for students and cause emotional problems for children. Remove any water images or fountains and place them where life is more active in your home. For similar reasons, it's not a good idea to have an aquarium in a bedroom. If you can't move it, at least cover it at night.
4. Carefully choose the images you hang above your bed. What
hangs above your bed needs to connect with what you dream about at night or
in your life. If you are single and interested in attracting love, don't
hang a picture of a single person as this is not what you are dreaming of.
Instead, hang an image of a tender couple. Don't hang depressing images,
aggressive, chaotic images, images of fierce animals or overpowering images
of nature. What hangs above you influences you each night, and you don't
have any defense against it as you sleep, so choose images that support your
dreams and soothe your spirit.
5. Place your bed in "the king's position" – where
you can see the doorway. Don't place your headboard on the
same wall as the incoming door to your bedroom. Make sure when you lay in
bed that you can see the incoming flow of energy when someone enters your
bedroom.
Otherwise, you will miss new opportunities in your career or that great partner that you wanted to meet, because you don't "see" the energy at night coming to you. You won't be in control of your life. In case
you can't change your bed to another wall, place a small mirror opposite
the door so that when you open your eyes you can see the doorway in the mirror.
Tips to Encourage Positive Bedroom Feng Shui
1. Choose balanced colors in your bedroom so you have more
energy after sleeping. Colors like pastels, beige and yellow. Place stronger colors
in your covers and pillows.
2. Create a heavenly mood with soft background music when you go to
sleep and when you wake up. Let your ears have rest throughout the
remainder of the night. Don't fall asleep with your TV on and don't
wake up to the news on radio or TV.
3. Increase air flow by opening your windows every day for
fresh air, or if that is not possible, install an ionizer or freshen the air
by burning your favorite incense.
4. Create romance by placing images of love and romance in the southwest
corner of your bedroom. This will help if you want to attract a
new romance or if you want to create more passion in your existing relationship.
In the case of a couple, place a tender image of the two of you together
in that area with a little rose quartz heart nearby.
5. Create a separate area for sleeping and for working. Sleeping
is passive and working is active so they can't really be in the same
room. If you are a student in a dormitory try to separate these two areas with
a screen or a curtain.
6. Create a clear entry way to your bedroom by making sure
that there are no boxes or suitcases blocking the passage in your hallway.
Place an image at your bedroom entrance in the hallway representing what you want to manifest there.
Good luck!
