Quick Feng Shui Tips

When creating an optimally relaxed environment in your home, you might want to consider the ancient philosophy of feng shui.

Feng shui is the Chinese art of incorporating and positioning objects to create balance and harmony. By making changes to our surroundings we can harmonize the flow of chi (energy), increasing the positive and deflecting the negative. By doing this we can achieve greater happiness, health and success.

Here are some basic feng shui tips that you can apply to your bedroom and home in order to create a more harmonious, relaxed sanctuary.

• Reduce clutter, especially near entries.
• Position the bed so that it is in view of the door, but not directly opposite.
• Have a solid headboard on the bed that is against the wall.
• Avoid placing the head of the bed beneath a window.
• Place objects in pairs to encourage harmony and balance in relationships.
• Avoid wall mirrors that reflect you sleeping in bed as this can cause restlessness.
• Maintain a good level of lighting that isn%u2019t too soft or too harsh.
• Remove violent images and sharp metals from the bedroom.
