A good night’s sleep is key to a healthy and balanced life. But for many of us, a good night’s sleep is something we only dream about. Instead of tossing and turning each night, use these Feng Shui tips to improve the energy in the bedroom in your Portland apartment.

What is Feng Shui?

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art that literally means “wind-water”. Both these elements are associated with good luck and good health. 

Tips for Feng Shui in Your Bedroom

1. Space and airflow are important to a good night’s rest. Invest in a king bed and mattress so that you have plenty of room while you sleep.
2. To further improve the chi in your bedroom by positioning your bed in the center of your room out of line of the bedroom door. 
3. You can encourage a good night’s sleep and improve energy by limiting electronic devices and screens from your bedroom. That means your phone! 
4. Ensure that your bed has a bedside table on either side of the bed.
5. Try using natural bedding and eco-friendly materials like bamboo and linen.
6. Choose soothing muted color tones like white, beige, brown, and plant-inspired greens.
7. Declutter your bedroom and keep all the drawers and doors closed when they are not in use. 
8. Avoid adding mirrors to your bedroom. Particularly within the sightline of your bed. Mirrors are a big problem as you should never be able to see yourself when lying in bed. Your subconscious is aware of the reflection which will only produce a fitful sleep at best.
9. You might like to read a book in bed, but books are viewed as “alive” because they embody energy.
10. Use wood elements in your bed’s headboard or side tables.
