How to Apply Feng Shui Principles in Your Bedroom

Many people have begun to use Feng Shui principles in redecorating their homes. These principles are said to nourish your soul by placing it in harmony with all the energies that are floating around the universe. And because the bedroom is the most personal and intimate of all the rooms in your house, you may want to use some ideas from the Feng Shui principles to create a more relaxing and intimate atmosphere in your haven. Bedrooms that take Feng Shui into account are believed to be overflowing with sensual and soothing energies and a general atmosphere that make it easy for you to rest and fall asleep. This kind of environment is indeed very helpful in healing both the body and soul.

One of the top priorities in applying Feng Shui principles in redecorating your bedroom is making sure that your bed is facing the right direction. When lying in your bed, you should be facing the door from the far side of your bedroom. However, you should not be positioned directly in front of the bedroom door. The best way to get into the ideal position is to place your bed at the point that is diagonally farthest away from the entrance to your room. This position is said to allow you to take advantage of just enough of the energy called Chi.

Too much of anything is not good for you, which is why you should not place your bed directly in front of your bedroom's entryway. Doing so will leave you open to too much Chi, which can cause a lot of stress that results in a variety of health problems. The location described above is best to give you just enough Chi for harmony. It is also best to place your bed against a solid wall in order to give you total command of your bedroom space. This position is also said to let you symbolically and literally take life head on.

Feng Shui experts also advise against keeping a computer or work desk inside the bedroom. Work energy and sleep energy are basically opposite types of energy and must not be confined in one area because of their innate incompatibility. You would also do well to position your bed such that the bedroom window is to the right of it. This helps ensure that you are able to take in the positive energies that fill each day as you wake up.

There are other Feng Shui principles that help in improving the atmosphere in your bedroom, such as those that ensure that fresh air always circulates in your room. Other principles involve the color scheme of your bedroom decor. But, the basic and most important principles are those that are discussed above. What you need to remember at all times is to keep anything that has a sad feel to it out of your bedroom.
