The bedroom is the most private and sensitive place in our lives. It is here that we relax after a tiring day, gain energy, and enjoy our closest relationships. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science that believes that the position and decoration of things around us affect our life energy. If the Feng Shui of the bedroom is right, it not only gives better sleep but also improves relationships, mental peace, and health. (Image: Pexels)
Correct Position Of The Bed
● The position of the bed in the bedroom is most important.
● The door should be visible whether sitting or lying down, but the bed should not be immediately in front of it.
● The wall behind the bed should be strong to provide you with a sense of security and stability.
● Keep the area underneath the bed clear; keeping things there throws off the energy flow. (Image: Pexels)
Choosing The Right Direction
● South-west direction – This direction is associated with relationships and stability, so it is considered ideal for those who are married or living with a partner.
● East direction – Full of energy, beneficial for youth and students.
● North direction – Considered good for relaxation and peaceful sleep. (Image: Pexels)
Importance Of Colours
● Colours are very important in Feng Shui as each colour represents a specific energy.
● Choose light and gentle colours – like light pink, cream, sky blue, light grey, etc. These colours promote mental peace and love.
● Use dark or aggressive colours like black, deep red or bright orange in small quantities. (Image: Pexels)
Use Of The Mirror
● The mirror should never be placed in front of or beside the bed in such a way that the sleeping person is visible in it. It disrupts the energy and can cause mental instability.
● If the mirror is in front of the bed and cannot be taken out, cover it with a cloth at night. (Image: Pexels)
Cleanliness And Clutter-Free Space
● The bedroom should be clutter-free. According to Feng Shui, clutter attracts negative energy and can make you mentally stressed.
● Keep cupboards, drawers, and under-bed spaces clean and organised. (Image: Pexels)
Decor That Promotes Love And Relationships
● Put things in pairs, such as two candles, two lamps, two cushions, etc. This brings balance and harmony in relationships.
● Hang pictures on the walls that symbolise love, peace, and togetherness. Avoid pictures of lonely people, art depicting war, or sadness. (Image: Pexels)
Distance From Electronic Devices
● Electronics are considered “energy drainers” in Feng Shui.
● Keep TV, laptop, mobile charger, etc., away from the bed or turn them off while sleeping. (Image: Pexels)
Use Of Natural Elements
● Let fresh air and sunlight come in through the window.
● Keeping a small bamboo plant or a statue of love birds increases positive energy.
● Scented candles, aroma oils, or incense sticks make the atmosphere calm and positive. (Image: Pexels)
