Top 10 Bedroom Feng Shui Tips:

1. Mirrors

An important rule in Feng Shui is that if you can see yourself or any part of your body through a mirror while lying in bed, the mirror needs to be covered up during intimacy and sleeping. Mirrored wardrobe closets, nightstand mirrors, free-standing mirrors, and mirrors on the ceiling can cause couples to fight, restless sleep, and bring in a third party or affair.

2. Headboard

A bed should always have a solid and high headboard. The headboard should be sans any holes or gaps in it and a wood headboard or frame is preferable. A headboard is good for overall support in life, including career support. It’s also helpful for relationships and intimate encounters.

The bigger the headboard the better. Obviously, it needs to be in direct proportion to the room. If the room is tiny, it doesn’t make sense to have a large overwhelming headboard. The same thing holds true for the bed size.

 3. Water Features

The bedroom should be free of any water features or water noise. The bedroom needs to be completely calm or yin so that people can fall into a deep slumber. Water features in the bedroom are disruptive to our physical bodies while we sleep. Also, water features can indicate affairs, and negatively affect a couple’s relationship, when placed in the bedroom. It is best to reserve water features for other parts of the house.

 4. Overhead Beams

In general, beams in the bedroom are unfavorable. The closer the beams are to the body, the more precarious they are. Vertical beams directly over a couple while lying in bed that splits down the middle of them during sleep indicate the couple breaking up.

If beams are horizontal across the body, depending on how many beams there are and where they land on the body, they indicate the meridian that will be affected. For example, if there are horizontal beams running over your head and stomach, you may be more prone to issues with digestion, headaches, reproductive organ issues, and so forth. It is best to cover up the beams with either sheetrock or beautiful romantic billowing fabric to avoid any negative results.

5. Bed Placement

The bed placement is significant because we spend a third of our time sleeping. Sleeping direction is important, and should always be factored in because this can affect all aspects of health, wealth, and relationships positively or negatively. However, if bed placement is based on one of your four good directions and you happen to have your feet pointing to a long hallway or the door to is adjacent to your bed, close the door at night to avoid chi or energy from disturbing your sleep.

6. Color Palette in the Bedroom

The bedroom should always have soothing colors and be free of any bright colors or loud wallpaper. Color has been scientifically proven to negatively or positively affect the central nervous system. Bright colors are too taxing on the system when the body is trying to rest. This is why it is best to avoid bright colors and busy wallpaper.

7. Electronics

The general rule of thumb for televisions, computers, and stereos is that they should not be in the bedroom. However, sometimes the situation does not allow for this. During times of rest, it is best to cover these up with a bedsheet. Electronics emit electromagnetic fields or EMFs for short. These emissions can over time affect our central nervous system as well as our health adversely.

8. No Spiritual Deities or Family Pictures

Spiritual deities are considered sacred, and should not be in the same area where you’re intimate. It is best to remove these from the bedroom and either dedicate a room in your house or another room to display your deities or have an altar. Family pictures should be kept out of the bedroom, too. There’s nothing romantic about wanting to be intimate with your partner and looking up to see a picture of your parents above the bed.

9. Shelving Units Above the Bed

There should never be anything above the bed beside the headboard. Shelving units or any other cabinets above the bed is not only unsafe but it’s too oppressive, energetically, when you’re trying to rest and can disrupt your sleep.

10. Skylights Above the Bed:

The body is in a continual renewal process during the sleep state. From the hours of 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. the body is in a state of repair. Skylights above the bed can negatively affect one of the most important regenerative processes of the body, liver cleansing. The light pouring through the skylight is cold chi and can force your life-force energy to flow upward, which is not conducive to the repairing process. Also, it can negatively impact your sex drive. It is best to cover up the skylight at night or consider moving it if it is over the bed.
