Bedroom Shar Chi

Do you have trouble sleeping?  Is tossing and turning your nightly routine leaving you exhausted?  In the morning, get up and take a look at your bedroom with feng shui eyes. Your problem could not be with you but with your bedroom. We are talking about shar chi circulating in your bedroom. Shar chi stagnates your resting place. It brings with it unhealthy energies that disturb you and your sleep interrupting your nourishing nightly rest.

It is best for your bed to be in a commanding position. Place it as far from the doorway as you can, but not aligning with the door. You want to be able to see the door but not be crossed by it. Place your bed if possible against a good supporting wall or give yourself a good headboard in order to supply you with security as you sleep. Do not store anything under your bed and remember that beds with built in storage units under them allow for the storage of more than usable items.  They are huge recipients of shar chi and blocked healing energy.  Chi needs to circulate and if you have cluttered underneath your resting place, all the good energy comes to a stand still. Remember to balance energy in the room by placing a table or nightstand on both sides of the bed

Are there bookshelves that may be cluttered and unarranged?  Order is key here. Shelve volumes by height and pull the books right to the edge of the selves in order to block the negative energy of the sharp edges of shelves penetrating into your sleep zone. This will symbolically dissolve shelf edges and remove shar chi.

Be careful of mirrors. One shouldn’t see oneself from the bed. It is said that reflecting images of you or your sleeping partner will allow the possibilities of unfaithfulness to ones marriage by symbolically inviting more people into the room. While sleeping, either remove the mirror or cover it. Pay attention, as well, to what kind of reflected image is being invited into the room. Things lurking in hallways or bathrooms can appear to be in the room bringing their unwanted energy with them. Keep reflective items to a minimum.

Check what’s outside your windows. Utility poles, intrusive buildings, cemeteries, businesses, even garbage receptacles all can promote shar chi. Cover your windows with curtains or screen them with a good folding screen.  If a cemetery is in sight, hang a faceted crystal ball in the window to send nourishing chi circulating against natural bad energies. If there are roads with rushing traffic nearby, it would be good idea to plant large soft bushes underneath the windows to absorb sound and buffer energy. Odd numbers of faceted crystal balls, suspended by red threads or ribbons, can slow down all manner of shar chi rushing at your window entrances.

These same faceted crystal balls can be hung over the bed to dissolve bad energy emanating from beams and sharp angles protruding from furniture in the room.

Limit electrical devices that give off extreme shar chi energy such as televisions and computers. Things operating on high electrical energy waves do more to upset the energy balance you are trying to achieve than almost anything else. If you are unable to eliminate your TV, close doors over the TV or cover it with a cloth while you sleep.  Do the same for your computer or music systems as well.

As you begin to implement some these ideas, count on relieving some of your stresses as well as eliminating the counting of sheep. Good night and good rest to you!
