Feng Shui tips for health and
good sleep
Do you get good nights sleep?
Sleep is vital to your health and it determines how well you function in
your day. As the famous mattress ad goes, "tomorrow begins tonight." From a Feng
Shui perspective, there could be various reasons for this.
Your bedroom, your sanctuary.
This is an area
where you spend a lot of time, which you rest, sleep, play,
dress and dream in. So make sure you have everything you need that induces rest.
Are your pillows clean and comfortable, and what about the mattress? Is the room
warm enough? Do you have your favorite sheets on and do you change them regularly?
Are you turning your mattress over regularly? Do you have clutter under your bed?
If you have bed draws under make sure you keep them tidy and if possible only keep
sheets or towels in them.
Health factors
Are you also getting enough exercise? Have you got a balanced diet? Remember
that the foods you consume also need to have not just a balance from a dietary perspective
but also from a yin and yang balance. For example, microwave food is usually too
much yang. Coffee keeps people awake. When did you have that last cup and was it
too close to bedtime? These are factors you need to ask.
Feng Shui and sleep
Electronic items are not good to keep in your bedroom; they may give you
sleepless nights. The television for example is something many people like having
in their bedrooms, but what they don't seem to realise is that it produces too much
yang energy which disturbs sleep patterns.
Yin energy is important in bedrooms as it encourages rest and relaxation. High also
on the list are Hi-fi sets and even computers. So if you work from home and have
a workstation in your bedroom, it is bound to affect your sleep. And to top it all computers and televisions also become a mirror when switched off and work as a reflector.
A cure for these problems is keep them covered at night with a sheet.
Married couples could experience a strain in the marriage when
the mirror reflects the bed and it could mean the marriage becoming "crowded." So
in short it seem it is better to keep these gadgets out of the bedroom for good.
Having said that though.
Your bedroom décor
Is your bedroom painted in a bright fierce colour? That in it represents yang energy. Rooms should preferably in soft pastel shades. Bed-sheets too should
be in pastels unless you have
been feeling sluggish lately, in which case red bed
sheets should be just the right thing.
Lighting
Make sure that your room is sufficiently lit and yet not overdone. Soft
lampshades are fine but spotlights and harsh lighting do not help. On the whole
it is not easy to get everything right but trying something new each time helps.
So try getting just the right feel and you would know what works for you. Make sure
you hang some crystals in the window.
Your bedroom should have a romantic feel to it, with soft colours and lighting.
Hang some romantic or saucy pictures on the walls, or some loving couples statues
on your bedside or dressing table. Always keep it clean and tidy.
Ps If you have an en-suite make sure you always keep the
door closed and toilet
seat down.

If this very special pebble is placed in a container of clear spring water it will
after ten minutes or so, have a profound effect on the energy level of the water,
turning it into a very powerful Healing Elixir. Although filtered tap water can
be used, bottled spring water is much better. You can test this for yourself, by
