Feng Shui Tips for Better Sleep and Relaxation
1. Bed Size
Chi, or energy, needs to be able to flow, and small beds are for bad chi! That implies that a mattress must be queen or a full so as to allow the chi to drift around you while you slumber. Besides that, a big bed free up a space for your partner and develop more togetherness. A smaller-size bed can be constricting, while an extra-large one (a California king, for example) can send partners to the far corners of the galaxy. Glance at your bed in your room and notice how you and your partner feel about it. Even if you have no partner trust your bed. If you don’t, then maybe you should buy a new one.
2. The Position Of The Bed
The position of a bed within a bedroom is as crucial as the size If, for example, then a bed that is pushed against one side ofthe room up against a wall, feng shui would say then it was not balanced. The path for feng shui energy—known by the Chinese term qi—must come through a space where the bed can see directly out to the door to the bedroom. There is a sense of safety if the person in bed can see who or what is coming into or going out of the bedroom. So they call this the ‘command center’ position. We need more balancing too, as in both sides of the bed should be open. You need to be able to exit and enter your own side of the bed without having to crawl over a partner. With feng shui, it is all, every little thing, about equilibrium.
3. Goodbye Clutter
Many people think it smart to put random items under the bed. No one notices the mess, or what has built up over time up there. And this clutter can become problematic with feng shui because that clutter = chaos. That chaotic energy can sometimes leave its imprint on whomever happens to be sleeping in the bed, and a night of fitful rest can ensue. So if you think you are going to store anything under the actual bed — it better be organized and so there is space to shift it around. When it comes to what to keep under a bed, linens and towels — providing soft energy — are best because anything like shoes, which is more frantic, not so good.
4. The Shape Of Mirrors
Not every mirror is made equal. They are rectangular, oval, square… you get the idea. As is the mirror shape and location in the world feng shui. Round or oval mirrors convey an intimate feel, and complement a bedroom beautifully. A mirror should not be in front of a bed, lest one gets to see themselves first thing upon waking up or before going to sleep, which is an anxiety-inducing idea. The mirror is best positioned in a closet or at the side of the bed to avoid this.
