Feng Shui in the Master Bedroom

(back)

The master bedroom must have the most balanced and harmonious energy of any room in your home since it is the source of rest, renewal and romance for the head of the house.

“Whether you are single or coupled, the master should be a place where all your senses are comforted and intimately celebrated,” says Terah Kathryn Collins, author of The Western Guide to Feng Shui.

The master should be free of any exercise and work out equipment. After all, if you haven’t used that exercise bike for three months, how does it make you feel when you look of it? Thoughts of an expanding waistline or buttocks are not restorative or romantic!

All things animate or inanimate contain chi. Electronics of any kind should be left out of the bedroom. These electronic devices are distracting and can rob you of your chi. Your focus should be on rest, renewal or romance not the war in Iraq.

Keep the home office out of the bedroom. Bringing your work or any work related material to your bedroom is invasive. Bringing your work to your bedroom is like sleeping in your office. There’s no possible way you can get a goodnight’s sleep and feel well rested.

Sleeping with a pile of books is very distracting. Books belong in the library. Books scattered about is disturbing. It’s like having strangers in your bedroom.

Used furniture or furniture from a past failed relationship should be avoided at all cost.

One of the biggest and often hidden dangers is in the closet. A chaotic closet is an energy drain. Keep your closets organized and artful. Get rid of anything that you haven’t used in the last year. If you haven’t used it, you don’t need it. Give it away or throw it away.

Avoid placing your bed below a window. The occupant feels a sense of insecurity when there is an opening of any kind that cannot be viewed from the bed.

The bed must be comfortable and inviting. Fluffy pillows in pairs represent partnership and support romance. Rose colored paint and accents also support romance. Keeping both sides of the bed the same encourages equality in the relationship.

The welfare of the entire household depends largely on the condition and energy of the master bedroom. Applying Feng Shui principles can enhance the quality of ones life and support your intentions.

It’s a matter of good Home $$s and Sense.
