Treat bedrooms as sacred spaces
Keep your bedroom free of clutter for
peaceful, restful sleep. Treat this area as if it is a sacred space, since this is where you spend all of your sleeping, subconscious time. T is is where you leave the conscious world and go into another dimension. Here is where you dream dreams and let yourself go. Here is where you rest, cocooned from the world. So keep this space sacred and special. Keep the energy of the bedroom free from energy that is negative, harmful, stale, or hostile – so throw out things that make the energy turn sour. Instead, place only things you love in your bedroom, things that make you feel pampered and beautiful.
PRACTICAL TIPS
1. Don’t store clothes high on elevated shelves in your bedroom. T is is a bad idea because they create heaviness above the sleeping level. Store your winter wardrobe in a store room and keep all of your suitcases in another room.
2. Keep all exercise equipment, bikes, and wall mirrors out of the bedroom. Your place of rest is not your gym.
3. Make sure that all work-related junk is kept away from the bedroom. Do not have a work desk here, so that you eliminate the danger of work-junk piling up inside the bedroom. Keep computers and telephones out. Let children have a specialized study room, rather than a desk in their bedroom. If there are insuffi cient rooms in your house for this, try to place the desk a little away from the bed so that junk that builds up on the desk does not aff ect the sleeping child.
4. Keep all dirty clothes inside a laundry basket. Nothing is more yin than dirty clothes; the energy it gives off permeates any room pretty fast.
8. Keep windows clear of clutter. Curtains can be left open or closed at night, but it is advisable to let the light fl ow in once the sun is up. Nothing brings in better yang energy than morning sunlight.
5. Do not place junk under, over, or beside a bed. Keep beds clean at all times.
6. Keep all doors clear of junk so that they open and close smoothly.
7. Never hang questionable art on the walls of your bedroom. Make sure you never hang anything that looks threatening or anything that can attract bad luck.
