Feeling chaotic? It's time to get funky with Feng Shui. Really, if there's one room in your house you should Feng Shui, it's your bedroom. The world outside is chaotic and your bedroom needs to be a sanctuary. The definition: Feng Shui is all about capturing "good" energy and creating a balance. In Feng Shui energy falls into two categories - yin and yang. Some"yang" energy is necessary, as you'll need to perk up in the morning. However, Feng Shui experts believe that too much"yang" can overstimulate and make you feel anxious. Skeptical? That's OK. You may not believe all the Feng Shui hype. But Feng Shui is all about making your bedroom a soothing sanctuary to wind down in. After all, you spend 1/3 of your time in your bedroom. Make it a room conducive to sleep, a place where you wind down and achieve a good night's rest. Why not give Feng Shui a try? Decorate with Pastels and Neutrals. Don't use loud, citrus hues like orange and vibrant yellow in the bedroom. You want to relax. But "winter colors"like black and grey can bring you down. The best Feng Shui colors for the bedroom are neutrals, pastels, and all the "skin colors." Don't keep your doors open. Keep the good, soothing energy in and the bad energy out. All doors to your bedroom should be closed. This includes your ensuite bathroom and even the toilet lid. Avoid sad or lonely pictures. Your bedroom needs to be a fortress for positivity. Do not use artwork that expresses a lonely feeling. Choose pictures that project good energy. If you want romance, pick pictures that focus on a pair - two birds in flight together, two people sitting together, two happy kittens. Promptly remove anything that reminds you of the past. Furniture. Your bed should not be directly in line with the door and you should keep your bed as far away from the door as possible. Position your bed so that you can view the door, but don't have your feet pointing toward it. Some people believed the souls of the dead are carried out feet first! Get two night stand tables, with round, not sharp edges. These should be set up so you can still walk around your bed. Bedding. Don't forget to Feng Shui your bedding. Remove all stuffed animals, lacy pillows, and other dcor bedding. You want your bed to be clean, comfortable, and not complicated! Pick bedroom linens that are soft and made from natural materials, like wool or goose down. Keep a balance of "Yin" and "Yang" in mind when you decorate your bedroom and end insomnia forever! See, Feng Shui can be fun.
