Bedroom arrangement
Now that we finished the holidays season and we try to get back to a more settled life, still keeping in our souls the magic of the beautiful moments, let’s deal with an important room in the house.
As by now, I will only indicate those solutions which are applicable by anyone, mentioning that each bedroom requires a special treatment, different from a case to the other, depending on the house location and the trigrams of the persons using that room.
The energy of the bedroom is very important because this is the place where we spend some hours every night, absorbing the influences of the qi in that space.
Let’s remember that the purpose of the bedroom is to offer us a place of rest and relaxation. Therefore, these energies must be predominant yin. If the bedroom has too much yang, the ones using it will not be able to fall asleep easily, will be hyperactive and will think of the things they have to do instead of allowing themselves a restful sleep.
It is also very important for the couples to have a positive energy in the bedroom. When the energy is balanced, the partners will have a relationship full of love and success. Each of them will fulfill their role with pleasure and will enjoy a good health.
Misunderstandings will be limited or avoided and separation or divorce will stay away from them.
In the general plan of the house it would be good for the bedroom to be placed in the less active area (close to the “back” of the house) in order to benefit of the yin energy.
The best shape for the bedroom is a regular shape – square or rectangle.
Bed placement
Here are a few unfavourable positions for the bed:
- under a window
- in a position towards which a door opens directly
- between two doors
- with the head against the wall towards the toilet room
- having in the opposite direction a sharp corner created by the room shape
It is better not to have above the bed any beams or other architectural “improvements” which would create arrows of negative energy directed towards the bed.
It is also recommended that the bed is not oriented with the head towards the wall with the door. If you have problems within your family this could be also caused by this placement of the bed!
If you can, move the bed such a way as to avoid at least some of the unfavourable positions indicated above.
Other ideas regarding the decoration of the bedroom
Use yin colors, of course according to the individual preferences of the family members. Remember that we adopt the Feng Shui principles in order to have a more harmonious life. If we don’t feel some ideas fit, there is no need to apply them. Applying remedies we dislike might bring more stress in our life which is maybe already not as relaxed as we would like it to be.
Instead of white, you can choose light blue, green or yellow nuances.
You can use furniture with regular shapes – squares or rectangles – in order to enhance the feeling of stability and balance.
I suppose I shouldn’t repeat the key words – cleanliness and tidiness – which apply for the bedroom as well.
Please also review the articles where we have discussed the positive and negative directions determined according to the personal trigram.
Choose the orientation of your bed as we recommended: start with the Fu Wei and end with the Sheng Qi direction, according to the possibilities of (re)arrangement for the furniture in the bedroom and the compatibility between partners.
At the end, remember there is no need to apply all the ideas contained in this article. Choose what you can easily apply and which brings you pleasure, then you will obtain the desired results.
