Feng Shui For The Bedroom

The main bedroom is the most important bedroom, as it has an enormous effect on the harmony of the home, on the well-being of its occupants and on the finances of the household.

There are four important things you need to consider:

1. The shape of the bedroom
2. The positioning of the bed
3. The sector the bedroom occupies
4. Decorative objects in the bedroom

It is best to have a rectangular or square shaped bedroom. If your bedroom has an irregular shape, try to use a good fortune symbol screen as a divider. This will transform the bedroom into a more regular shape. Never use mirrors as a feng shui cure for the bedroom.

Position your bed such that your head is pointed towards your best direction according to your Kua number. You can check your best direction here. If you cannot position your bed to face your best direction, at least try and have it face one of your other good directions.

For allocation of bedrooms, you can decide according to the later heaven Pa Kua trigrams placed around the eight directions. According to this arrangement, each direction has a representative member of the family. The chart on the right presents different members of the family and their corresponding directions.

The yin component plays an important role in the bedroom. This is because it is a place to rest, recuperate and relax. Do not make your bedroom too yang. The energy in the bedroom should suggest calm and quiet. The colour scheme used should be muted. Lighting should be dimmed and there should not be a television in the bedroom. However, make sure it is not too yin. For example, if you are lacking of energy, you may benefit from a red (yang) bedsheet.

Use your own judgement when planning the feng shui of your bedroom. Do not go overboard when decorating. You can energize the bedroom for marriage, romance, love and relationships. Place a pair of mandarin ducks, rose quartz puffed hearts and other love symbols in the SW of your bedroom to activate this kind of luck. The bedroom should however not be used to energize for wealth luck. It is better to energize for wealth luck in the public areas of the home such as the living room or dining room.
