How
to set up your bedroom using Feng Shui
Feng
Shui is as simple as opening your windows when it gets
warm! “If man knows which window to open and which to
shut, the wise man can fill his dear cart with
pearls!” is a proverb my Master often quoted.
A
simple re-arrangement of furniture can work magic. Once
in a lady’s house, I looked at the bed and enquired
who used it. When I learnt she was the user, I knew
she’d be the one with health problems and she opened a
cabinet full of medicines. I simply advised her to
change the bed to another side of the room! She is as
fit as a fiddle today.
Feng
shui is about the position where you place your head
post in your bedroom and which side you face while
sleeping. Generally the master bedroom should face
South-West or North -West direction.
What is the view you have outside your bedroom
window matters a lot. People residing in apartments, may
have different cures, despite having the same house
layout and the same view outside the window, because
Feng Shui is person specific.
Do
not clutter your bedroom with furniture and unwanted
things. A bed facing your best position and a wind chime
on your window and also a painting or a wall hanging to
enhance your relationship is welcome.
Avoid
keeping anything at the foot of the bed. Let that place
be clear. Never face the bedroom door while positioning
the bed. Let the bed be against the wall to give support
to the occupant.
Do
not place mirrors in front of the bed. This may obstruct
the ‘chi’ and bounce it back.
Try and avoid placing your bed next to a window.
Let it be in the middle and dominate the room.
Another
important aspect is the color and décor of the bedroom.
Use earthy colors like green, blue, white or cream.
Light and pastel shades are welcome. Avoid red and black
colors as these can cause trouble in your relationships.
So
when you need to enhance or remedy a situation, strictly
use these elements like plants, water, brass plates,
bells, mud and loads of intuition. Based on the kua or
the birthdates, place yourself in a certain sector,
facing your best direction. This ensures you get what is
already freely available in nature!
And
last but not the least, fate plays a crucial role in our
life and applying Feng Shui is like going down on a
parachute. We know we’re falling, but at least let the
landing be smooth!
