Feng Shui at Home

• Feng shui in the bedroom

Tips to help them design their bedroom according to the Feng shui system and achieve a much more enriching rest.

Feng Shui is the system based on Eastern philosophy that helps us live in harmony with the elements and natural forces of the earth. It is about balancing our Chi and revolves around the forces of Yin/Yang.

In a bedroom according to the rules of Feng Shui you must give prominence to the Yin force, because it is the feminine or passive force (Yang is the masculine or active force).

• The colors of the room according to feng shui

The walls should be soft pastel colors and the carpets should be light colors to be able to blend in with the other elements of the bedroom. Sheets, covers, blankets and pillows (which must all be made of natural fabrics and not synthetic) should also be pastel colors. We must avoid intense colors such as red and use soft colors that induce rest and tranquility.

• Orientation of the bed according to feng shui
  

This is one of the fundamental aspects of the bedroom. It should be positioned in such a way that the head or feet of the person(s) inside are never looking at the door. It is important to be able to see the door and orient the bed so that our head is pointing north or east. Nothing should hang above the bed and there should be no junk underneath. A good header provides a sense of security. You should try not to sleep under the window, but if you cannot avoid it, it is important to cover the window with a blackout curtain.

• Use of the bedroom according to feng shui
  

It is especially important that the bedroom is only used for sleeping or marital activities. There should be no electrical appliances (such as television, stereo) and no exercise equipment inside the bedroom because they have active energy. If you cannot remove them from the bedroom, cover them with a cloth. There should also be no computer present – not even papers or work notes, as any object related to your work can interfere with your sleep.

• Ornaments in the bedroom according to feng shui

Two mirrors should not be placed opposite each other, because negative energy will be created in the space between them. Strong lights should be avoided, opting for dim lights with soft screens that emit peace and tranquility. You should also avoid ornaments or paintings related to water. According to Feng Shui theory, water exacerbates allergy, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Hang some crystals in the window - these will reflect the sunlight and bring a special light.

• Order in the bedroom according to feng shui

The room should always be tidy, as well as ventilated and neither too hot nor too cold. You must avoid having things on the floor - the clutter is totally against the principles of Feng Shui.
