Simple & Practical Bedroom Feng Shui Tips!

 


As you first set out on your self-love journey to make your bedroom clutter-free, serene and romantic, hence to promote peaceful rest, enriched love life and happy Relationships, consider it not an imposed chore, but rather a Valentine's Day Gift to Yourself!

Declutter Your Bedroom. Make your bedroom clutter-free, serene and romantic to promote peaceful rest, enhanced love life and happy relationships! Keep what's essential and let go of any items that have no relevance to Serenity, Love and Romance. Remove items such as electronics devices, bookshelves, work desk, pictures, objects and art forms (from the past and present) that do not represent, invite, promote or attract Love and Unity.

Always Have Two Nightstands. Nightstands represent the power dynamics within the relationship. You want a nightstand on each side of the bed; even if you are single (this helps to attract an equal partner). The nightstands should be of equal stature and the same goes for anything sitting on the nightstands, such as lamps.

Place Your Bed in the Right Spot - Every room has a power spot. This is where the optimal energy is within a room and also where you want to place your bed. The headboard should have a solid wall behind it for energetic support. There should be equal access on both sides of the bed. When lying in the bed, you should be able to see the doorway and anyone coming into the room. Not every bedroom has the luxury of meeting all these criteria, so try out different bed placements and notice which one feels the best.

Bring Tranquility into Your Bedroom. Choose calming colors such as light blue or soft lavender. Splurge on Quality Bedding too! Get some high quality sheets, comforter, blanket and duvet covers with soft and nourishing texture that you want to snuggle up in.

Encourage Sensuality in your life. The sensual pleasure directly involves our senses with things such as the heavenly scent of lavender on your pillow, how wonderful it feels to slip into soft and silky sheets, a warm ocean breeze against your skin, the splendor of a sunrise or sunset, or the sound of a familiar and loving voice. Sensuality is an art and you are the artist! When you  encourage sensuality by appreciating and enjoying simple pleasures, you invite, attract, promote and enhance love and romance into your life, whether you are single or in a relationship shouldn’t matter! You must master the art of being a sensual lover in order to attract and to keep one!

Most of All, Be Awesome and Love Yourself Without Limits!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
