Bedroom Feng Shui

A good bedroom form can enhance our positive energy and act as a conducive environment to boost our health. To optimise good flow of Qi for the bedroom, here are few things to consider:

1. Shape of the bedroom

It’s well known that in Feng Shui, square and rectangular shapes are the highly preferred choices. Of course, you can choose any other shape such as circular, triangular, or oval, but these will create an imbalanced Qi flow and are usually avoided.  

2. Bed against a solid wall

As everything is based on the balance of Yin and Yang, sleeping is a Yin activity. Therefore your bed should be located against a solid wall, your headboard aligned to a favourable direction and most importantly, locate your bed in a sector where there are good mountain stars. The bed placed in a Yang sector will make the Qi imbalanced and the results will be seen in your sleeping behaviour and health.

3. The door

An often overlooked factor in a person’s bedroom is the bedroom door. Even with a room in a good sector of your home, try and ensure that the door faces your favorable direction to ensure you are geared to receive the positive Qi that this additional factor bestows.

4. Favourable directions

Many people are driven to tap into a favourable direction at every corner of our house – this includes the bedroom. But for example, if the favourable direction causes the bed to be positioned at an angle where its headboard is against a corner, beware, as bigger headaches and problems could be expected by the occupants. While they may have achieved their objectives in tapping the favourable direction, they have at the same time created Sha Qi (Menacing or harmful energy) that points directly to their head and will bring up many issues.

5. Bed with windows at the back

When the headboard of the bed is against the window, it can inadvertently create an imbalanced flow of Qi for the entire room. The best advice is to think twice before you put your bed in such a position.

6. Feet pointing to the room door

Don’t position your bed where it is directly aligned with the bedroom door. If your feet are pointing towards the door, the Qi will rush in through the door and crash directly into your bed, causing sleepless nights, so it’s better to avoid this position.

Some more facts and details about Feng Shui and your bedroom:

7. The water in the bedroom

For many people this is a big concern – please say few words about it… as i know it’s not good.

Some people mistakenly think that placing a water feature, eg; a small water fountain, a small rotating wheel with water, or even an aquarium will bring money luck to the residents. Although water features have been widely used to enhance the vibrancy or Yang Qi in the house for increasing wealth or money-making opportunities, placing a water feature in the bedroom creates imbalanced Qi for sleeping well. The main purpose of bedroom is to provide a conducive sleeping and resting environment for the residents to boost health. Placing a water feature in the bedroom, especially in the wrong location, is totally not advisable.  

8. The flowers in the bedroom

Flowers are not listed as Feng Shui in Classical books or compendiums. Some people like to place flowers in the bedroom to create an aromatic environment that enhances sexual desire. This should not be mistaken for a Feng Shui practice. It’s not advisable to put too many flowers to create the needed smell, as it can affect our quality of sleep! Remember, flowers take in oxygen during the night and emit carbon dioxide, which is not healthy to us!

9. The color

Color is another topic that has been widely talked about in Feng Shui. Although color is not written in Classical Feng Shui as the source of generating, channeling, directing or circulating the Qi, there’s no denying that it has an impact on the quality of our sleep in the bedroom. It’s advisable choose soft, natural colors for our bedroom. For example, light greens, blues, and lavenders that create a quiet, tranquil vibe; this could enhance the quality of sleep and healing Qi.

10. Statues

Classical Feng Shui does not include the use of statues. As mentioned, Feng Shui is the study of assessing the qualities of Qi that flow at certain locations in our environment and how the Qi flow influences us. Statues are widely used, mainly from the cultural perspective, to increase one’s wealth, health and safety.  

It’s too extensive a topic for only one article to cover all aspects of “Bedroom Feng Shui”, so here is the primary list of what you should consider when you attempt to Feng Shui your bedroom:

The most important thing in your bedroom remains your bed. This is what you should care most about, so you’d better carefully consider its configuration, position, and how it fits in the room. The second most important thing is to ensure the bed is not placed between two doors.

As a last note: do enough of your own research and the more you learn the more outraged you will become. Use logic and common sense while you choose to delve in this phenomenal science. Be aware of your rights, don’t be badgered or scared into doing what “everyone else is doing” only to wind up in someone’s pocket (or emptying your own). Do your research now while things are calm – don’t wait until you are in crisis mode.
