According to feng shui, your bedroom affects your health, wellbeing, and relationships
Feng shui is a way of life, that focuses on harmonising your surroundings in order to enhance your wellbeing and balance.
As your bedroom is where you rest and relax, it is believed that this is one of the most important places in your home for overall health and happiness.
1. Money tree
A money tree is believed to prevent stagnation and improve energy. Place one at the corner of your bedroom to not only beautify your space, but also to enjoy high energy, growth, and expansion throughout the year, all of which are associated with wealth and success.
2. Dragon statue
As the most auspicious animal in Chinese culture, the dragon brings good luck, protection, and success. Whether small and simple or large and intricate, a dragon statue is believed to bring wealth and blessings, as well as protect your home and family from evil influences.
You can also wear a dragon accessories or jewellery to attract blessings.
3. Wu Lou
Wu Lou, known as a calabash or gourd in English, is traditionally used to neutralise sickness energy, bad luck, or misfortune.
Also known as the "gourd of longevity" or "giver of life", it's believed that having a Wu Lou will protect the health of your family.
Keep it next to your bed on the nightstand to represent good health, long life, and abundance this coming year.
4. Candles
Candles are symbolic of the Fire element in feng shui, and help achieve energetic balance within your environment.
Different colours, scents, and locations of candles in your home can have different meanings. For example, pink and red candles in your bedroom signify self-love and romantic love. Meanwhile, black or blue candles can help attract better career opportunities and increase knowledge and wisdom.
Candles should be placed in the centre of your room, as well as the south, southwest, and northeast areas. This allows the Chi energy to circulate freely.
5. Mandarin ducks
Mandarin ducks, also known as love ducks, are the symbol of marital bliss. In Chinese culture, they signify love, fidelity, loyalty, and devotion.
If you're single, the Mandarin ducks will increase your chances of finding a partner. And if you're already in a relationship, the figurines will keep your love strong and faithful.
The Mandarin ducks should always be facing each other, either on your bedside table or in the southwest corner of your bedroom. This is the area of love and marriage. For optimum results, the ducks should not be plastic or resin. Instead, choose figurines made of wood, crystal, jade, brass, or rose quartz, depending on what energy you want.
Here are some feng shui tips for your bedroom to increase your luck:
- Declutter your room. Clutter blocks Chi or energy from flowing, and brings bad luck.
- Place your bed so you can see the door, but not face it. This is called the "command position" and will increase protection and power.
- Use the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, to decorate your room. This can include colours, materials, and objects.
- Keep your bedroom symmetrical. For example, use matching side tables and lamps.
- Place mirrors facing away from the bed so you can't see your reflection when on your bed.
- Add plants and crystals for more positive energy.
- Put up artwork that is positive and relaxing; avoid art that feels negative or lonely.
