FENG SHUI FOR HEALTH

Is something stopping you from getting a good night's sleep?

Sleep is so very important 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. Lets deal with them one by one.

Bedroom, your place of rest.

This is your sacred resting place and sanctuary in which you rest, sleep, dress and dream in. So make sure you have everything you need that induces rest. Are your pillows comfortable, and what about the mattress? Is it too hot or too cool that it is keeping you awake? Do you have your favorite sheets on and do you change them regularly?

Health factors

Are you also getting enough exercise? And is your diet sufficiently balanced. Remember that the food you consume also need to have not just a balance from a dietary perspective but also from a yin and yang balance. For example, microwaved food is usually too yang. Coffee for example has been known to keep 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

Lillian Too has often times said how important it is not to have certain electronic gadgets in the bedroom which 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 realize 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.

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, Lillian also says that too much yin energy makes the bedroom feel like a tomb, so keep in mind that you also need some yang energy to keep the balance.

Your bedroom décor

Is your bedroom painted in a bright fierce color? That in itself represents a yang energy. Rooms should preferably in soft pastel shades. Bed-sheets too should be in pastels unless you have been feeling lethargic lately, in which case red bedsheets should be just the right thing.

Lighting

Ensure 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.

Sweet Dreams!
