Feng Shui Sleeping Under A Beam

When you follow Feng Shui principles to rearrange your bedroom, change the color of the wallpaper or paint you must take into consideration two important Feng Shui guidelines. Feng Shui Sleeping Under A Beam

1. The bed should not be directly opposite the door and
2. There should be no beams above the bed

Dealing with the first guideline of not having your bed directly opposite the door. It is important that you position your bed in the best place so that it has a good vantage point. This is essential so that you can see when anyone enters your room, and you are not caught unawares.

Because the Chinese believe that a dead person is always carried out feet first from the bedroom, they advocate that your feet should not be directly opposite the door!

I have to say that viewpoint is not exclusive to Feng Shui. In my caribbean culture people believe that because dead people are laid out with their feet to the door, you should not place the foot of the bed directly opposite the bedroom door either.  Read more...

Feng Shui Color Schemes

Every day we make choices based on color, some being of more importance than others. The colored traffic light tells us to stop or safely go. We stand in front of closets asking the age-old question: What am I going to wear today? If we are tired, we may subconsciously choose red for energy. Need some nurturing? Perhaps you will be drawn to green. Feng Shui Color Schemes

Other than a choice point in life, however, what exactly is color? A free online dictionary tells us that color is ‘the appearance of objects (or light sources) described in terms of a person’s perception of their hue and lightness (or brightness) and saturation of objects.’ That is a bit of a mouthful. More simply put, color is the way our brain interprets the frequency of light.

The way color is perceived and experienced is largely based on our cultural background. Colors give off vibrations and different people react differently to those vibrations. They can either give us a boost or drag us down.  Read more...

Feng Shui Home Layout

Feng shui is the art of improving the environment in which you live or work by making a series of changes to the color, layout and decor. There are a number of people who think of feng as being very mystical and hard to comprehend. There are professional consultants who specialize in customized analysis of an individual and their home. However basic feng shui principles are very easy to learn and can be applied by anyone.

Have you ever been in a room that you did not feel completely comfortable in? The reason may be that the flow of ‘qi’ or energy in that room is blocked due to the layout. Feng shui can be used to free up that flow of energy. By doing so, the mood of the person who spends time in that room will likely change too. For instance, a lot of clutter is always a sign that the energy is not allowed to flow freely. How can energy flow freely when there is an accumulation of unnecessary stuff everywhere? The general mood a person experiences when living or working in a cluttered space is stress and anxiety. The simple act of getting rid of junk and reorganizing a space will cause an improvement in one’s mood. Try doing that on a bigger scale by using basic feng shui techniques and find out for yourself what great changes you will experience. Feng Shui Home Layout  Read more...
