On average, one third of your life is spent in your bedroom. I think it is practically impossible to “waste money” on creating the perfect bedroom as it is your most impacting room of your house! Here are my tips for bedrooms if your love life seems stale or is non-existent, or your health could use some improvement, or you are looking for a new or different outlook on life:
#1 Remove anything that does not support love/passion and health/rest. If your bedroom looks more like an office or multi-purpose room, your environment is working against you. If you want to go the extra mile with feng shui, try to get a good balance of the five elements in there as well.
#2 If you are looking for a major change, then stretch yourself and make major decor changes within the bedroom. In other words, “Don’t buy the same old comfort zone stuff that will get you the same old love and health-life situations!”
#3 Buy a wooden bed if you have the choice. Metal beds can conduct electrical fields which can be a health concern. Avoid having anything plugged-in near your bed, and especially no electrical blankets (even if they are plugged in but not turned on they can be harmful!), heating pads, or massage pads.
#4 Check the lighting level to see if it is not too harsh (yang) or too dim (yin). Listen for distracting sounds and try to alleviate or remove.
#5 Avoid large living plants or water fountains in the bedroom.
#6 Avoid large mirrors in the room. You should not be able to see yourself reflected in any mirror when in your bed.
#7 Avoid sharp metal within the bedroom (knives, axes, swords, guns, scissors, etc.) Sharp metal near you in bed usually results in “being cut” in life – as in surgeries.
#8 Create a headboard for the bed and place it against the most solid wall in the room – cure poison arrows or “bed in line with doorway” lines by hanging a crystal between the bed and the negative item.
Don’t settle for a “6″ Bedroom when you can have a 10!!!!! 
Hi. Ok I am well on my way to increasing my bedroom from a 3 to a 10, I would say we are at a 5-6 right now. However, I have a giant sliding glass window that spans from my Relationship section ALL THE WAY THROUGH the Fame section. What cures can I use to counterbalance any exiting Chi? I am over the single life! I want to date! Please help!!!
Discretely run a red line (ribbon, paint, tape, anything red will do) from one side of the window to the other (top of moulding, under sill, behind valance, whatever) with intentions of STOPPING the exiting chi through the window.
Hello,
I was reading this post and was wondering what negative effect the plugged in things do. I have a heated mattress pad I use in the winter along with the lamp and alarm clocks near the bed.
There is a big range of negative side effects from electromagnetic fields and electrical fields…everything from stiffness, arthritis and insomnia to MS, etc. It’s worth researching more if you have any ailments!
Thanks so much, Karen. I will do some research. I had no idea.
Which cure can I use for my kitchen (which is the relationship are in my house) if I have the refrigerator there and it’s difficult to move it some where else. Non-existent love life and I think this is affecting it eventhough I feng shuied my bedroom.
A couple of ways to go here:
1. Balance things and spaces like Goldilocks – “not too big, not too small, not too hot, not too cold…” So if you’ve got a little too much cold for your liking, add hot! Could be colors, symbols, etc…and remember they can be hidden.
2. Change your consciousness – Professor Lin Yun said that the phycisal changes are only 20% of the cure – and if you can change your consciousness, you’ve got 80% of the power going! That’s why I do what I call a Feng Shui Your Mindset consultation “coaching series” http://www.karenrauchcarter.com/consulting/feng-shui-your-mindset-telephone-consultation/
Hope that is helpful!
PS – Good work doing the bedroom first!
