The
bedroom is the place where we spend most
of the time in the house. Approximately,
one third of our lifetime is spent in
the bedroom! So it is very important that
the energy of this area is smooth and
congenial. However for children, elderly
people, bachelors, married couples or
the sick, the energy pattern may be different
in various bedrooms.
The ideal bed should have a supporting
headboard and it should be placed in such
a way so that it can be approached from
both the sides. This balances the energy.
We have discussed earlier that the bed
should not be in line with a door or any
mirror. Beds with boxes for storage should
be avoided as far as possible and the
space under the bed should not be used
for keeping items like bags, shoes ,utensils
etc. because it hinders free movement
of energy thereby resulting in stagnation.
Beds made of steel or other metals should
be avoided because they interfere with
the magnetic fields of human body and
the earth.
Feng shui gives importance to the date
of birth of the user of the room and the
five elements accordingly. So if somebody
is born under the influence of the fire
element, the suitable colours are red,
yellow, orange etc. That person should
avoid colours of the water element like
blue, azzure, green etc. because water
and fire are opposite elements. But if
the partner of the person is of that opposing
element person, then it will not be possible
to have any particular colour as per the
date of birth! So it is better to go for
a neutral colour. Vaastu uses the colours
of the water element only in north, east,
northeast and northwest.
Chinese experts believe that certain objects,
pictures or statues can enhance the energy
of the bedrooms. A pair of Mandarin ducks
or doves can improve relationships when
kept in the southwestern corner. The picture
of peony flowers or the double happiness
symbol serve the same purpose. Crystals
can be kept at southwest or northeast
to activate the earth element. The statue
of the elephant, crane or horse can bring
in good health. Candles are recommended
for the bedroom. It is supposed to have
a healing effect on health and relationship.
Candles also burn negative energy and
certain germs. Bedlamps and corner lamps
can energise the room.
Almirah and other heavy items should be
kept at south, west or southwest only.
The music system can be kept at southeast.
Avoid clocks on the southern wall.
