Feng Shui: An Ancient Cure for Insomnia*

When it comes to improving your sleep, using Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese Art of Placement in your environment, has some good ideas. Here’s some Feng Shui tips to improve your sleep cycle :

  1. Bed Placement: Imagine walking into your bedroom and instantly feeling a sense of calm. That’s the magic of Feng Shui. Start by placing your bed in what’s called the “commanding position.” What’s that, you ask? Well, it means you should have a clear view of your bedroom door, but not be in direct line with it. This helps you feel secure and in control.
  2. Balance Yin and Yang: Yin and yang are all about balance. In terms of color, think of yin as the calm, soothing energy, and yang as the more active, vibrant energy. To create a tranquil sleep environment, opt for soft, soothing colors. Blues, pastels, and earthy tones like greens and beige are fantastic choices. They can promote a sense of relaxation and calm.
  3. Clutter-Free Zone: Keep your bedroom clutter-free. Clutter, representing unresolved action, can make it hard to create a calm environment. So, tidy up, get rid of anything that doesn’t serve your wellness.
  4. Natural Elements: Bringing the outdoors in is a classic Feng Shui move. Wooden furniture, houseplants, candles, water features or nature-inspired artwork can infuse your space with a sense of nature and serenity. The wood element is particularly grounding, creating a cozy atmosphere for sleep. Nature grounds us.
  5. No Electronics in the Bedroom: Your bedroom can be a sanctuary for sleep and love making, not a home office or entertainment area, unless. . . well. . . that’s another blog. LOL. Avoid having a computers, charging stations, WIFI routers, or exercise equipment in your bedroom. These items bring in yang energy and can disrupt your sleep. Blue light from the screens of electronics and EMF exposure is disruptive to the brain resting cycle.
  6. Soft Bedding: We spend 6-8 hours in bed a day. Invest in a comfortable mattress and quality bedding. The more comfortable your bed, the better your sleep quality.
  7. Personal Chi: Infuse your bedroom with your personal energy. This can be achieved by adding personal touches like photos or items that hold special meaning for you, especially on the right side of the room walking in the door.
  8. Aromatherapy: Use soothing scents like lavender or chamomile with essential oils or candles. Aromatherapy can help you relax and prepare for sleep.
  9. Sound Control: Consider white noise machines or soft, calming binaural or frequency music if you’re sensitive to outside noise. These can help drown out disturbances.

Remember, Feng Shui is all about creating a harmonious and balanced environment, and these tips can contribute to a better night’s sleep. Sleep well!
