Good Sleep and Feng Shui
Sleep
is a natural human instinct. We go to bed when we are tired, or when it is
bedtime. However, many people have problems with natural sleep: they go to bed,
but they cannot fall asleep right away; or, worse, they rely on medications to
put them to sleep. In other words, they have insomnia or sleep
deprivation.
With super-aging
wisdom, you can acquire natural sleep through good feng
shui, which is an ancient Chinese art based on the balance and
harmony of yin and yang,
and the Five Elements. Essentially, feng
shui is the philosophical and scientific belief that there is
an internal life energy, known as qi, that is responsible for bringing
oxygen and nutrients to different parts of the human body for health and
wellness. If there is any blockage or stagnation of this smooth and natural flow
of qi energy,
then health is significantly compromised, resulting in insomnia, not to mention
disease and disorder.
Given
that natural sleep is contingent on the relaxation of muscles, the regulation
of body temperature and humidity, the optimization of breathing, and the
stability of emotions, feng shui may play a pivotal part in the science
of natural sleep.
Apply
the following principles of feng shui to your sleep environment to enhance
your natural sleep:
1. Your
bedroom should be a square or a rectangle in shape to enable the free flow of qi.
A bedroom too cluttered with objects or furniture does not contribute to an
optimum environment for natural sleep. If you sit on your bed and look
around, you would be able to decide if there are items that have no place in
the bedroom, such as a computer work station. Do you feel that there is
any trapped qi in
the bedroom that may create an imbalance of yin and yang?
Do you feel that there are too many objects that visually clutter your bedroom.
2.
According to good feng shui, you bed should be raised, that
is, it should not be lying flat on the floor, in order to encourage the free
flow of qi energy.
3. Your
bed should be strategically placed in the bedroom. Do not place your bed
between windows and doors, or between two doors, where energy will directly
disrupt your natural sleep. Also, try not to place your bed in a spot of
direct sunlight: the energy of the sun does not conduce to natural sleep.
4. You
should avoid hanging mirrors on the walls. If you do need a mirror in the
bedroom, do not place it directly opposite the bed. The reason is that you do
not want the mirror to reflect the qi energy
back to you while you sleep.
The
above are some of the basic principles of good feng
shui that can
be applicable to your sleep environment to optimize your natural sleep.
