Adults crave for deep relaxing sleep while children
need vitality and invigorating energy to keep them active. Thus, a
bedroom facing west that receives the relaxing rays of the setting sun
is better for adults while a bedroom facing east that receives
motivating and bright rays of a rising sun is suitable for kids. A bed
facing the window is said to attract bad 'Sha' energy and glare of sun
and a Bagwa mirror or wind chimes can help fend it off. The bed facing
the door is a strict no-no as it is said to be the 'death position' in
which the deceased are carried out of the room. A bedroom should be
quiet, serene and peaceful and thus, dim lights and relaxing colors are
advisable here. Similarly, more than two mirrors in the bedroom or
vibrant colors are said to over-activate Chi.
Never place a mirror at the foot of the bed or facing a window in the
bedroom. The ideal Feng Shui position for a bedroom is next to a living
room or directly above the lounge room in a two-storey home. Bedroom
denotes serenity, auspiciousness, new opportunities and forthcoming
growth. The main focus points in the bedroom for Feng Shui are placement
of doors, mirrors and bed. A bedroom door opening at a full right angle
means that several opportunities have room to come in, while the door
that does not open completely, restrict their entry. Place your favorite
photo, quote, flower vase or sculpture as the Greeter in the bedroom or
the first thing that you see while entering your bedroom from the
doorway.
An uncluttered and organized bedroom provides more serenity, efficiency
and functionalism. It symbolizes progress. So, get rid of things that
you do not use by organizing your drawers and closets. Any obstruction
as you enter the bedroom is unsafe and does not allow free flow of Chi,
so remove shoes, furniture and electrical wires in the way so that no
one trips on them accidentally. If your bedroom door and window are
directly opposite to each other, you need to hang a multifaceted crystal
from the ceiling midway between them to aid the energy to stay for
sometime in the room.
If there is a wall facing the door and distance between them is less
than your height, then hang a mirror on the wall. The bed should not be
in direct alignment with the door but should allow you to see, who is
entering from the door, when you sit up on the bed. You can use a mirror
for the purpose. Place the mirror behind the bed or to the side of the
bed but never at the foot of the bed. Sleeping under an exposed beam
means oppression but if you cannot move the bed, place Chinese flutes on
either side of the bed to counter the harsh energy. Similarly, there
should be no sharp corner with a tangent aiming at your head, which is
known as 'poison arrow'. Moving the bed or hiding the sharpness of the
corner can cure it.
