Feng Shui is pronounced “Fung Shway” and can be used to help you sleep better and enhance your love life. If this sounds like something you would like to do to your bedroom, here are a few “rules” that you need to consider to help you achieve a feng shui bedroom.

Fengshui Tip Number One

The bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom. Your bed should be in a command position. This means that your bed should be in complete view of the door but not in the direct line of the door. You also need to leave plenty of room on both side of the bed for each partner to get in and out of bed with ease.

Also, never have your bed in the position where your feet are facing the door. This is very bad Feng Shui. This position is called the death position because the dead are usually carried out by their feet.

Fengshui Tip Number Two

It is best if you choose to have your bedroom in the farthest room from the door. This is said to give the mind more security because there is that much more distance between anything coming in the door and you sleeping in bed.

It is extremely bad Feng Shui to have you bedroom facing the front door. However, sometimes we have no real choice where the bedroom is located but you can still use other tips to Feng Shui your bedroom.

Fengshui Tip Number Three

Remove the clutter. Any kind of clutter that reaches over your head that can make you feel uneasy therefore you need to clean anything that should not be piled up on your dresser or side tables. The clutter will prevent the Chi from flowing naturally as it should.

Anything in your bedroom that has to do with other things that do not have to do with sleep or the bedroom should be taken out. For example if you have work related items in your room, they need to be taken out. Computers, televisions and other electronics do not belong in the bedroom either.

These are three of the best tips that can be given for those who want to turn their bedrooms into a Feng Shui paradise. Not only will Feng Shui improve your life but using Feng Shui in the bedroom can help improve your sleep habits so that you wake up feeling more rested and fully regenerated.

There are many other things you need to consider when if you intend create a feng shui bedroom. Make sure you do as much research as you can before you begin. You need to know what you are doing and how to do it before you get started. You do not have to be a believer for Feng Shui to work wonders in your life.

Every person has a particular birth number which is known as the kua number and it forms the personal reference point for the individuals. The individual’s success direction, health direction, personal relationship direction is all calculated on the basis of this individual kua number and Feng shui tips are accordingly given. Males and females have separate methods of calculating the number. The difference in calculation for the males and females further emphasize the need for balance of energies such as the male and female energy which is known as the Yang and the Yin. Feng Shui tips are all about balance through rectification measures and arrangement of space and objects within a given architectural structure and this involves all the elements, directions and the yin and yang energies.

Some of the most common Feng shui tips involve basic remedies for home and office harmony and success. The use of the universally popular laughing Buddha is a common Feng Shui tip that is also unknowingly followed by many individuals. Placement of the laughing Buddha facing the entrance door to the room is one of the powerful Feng shui tips that invite positive energy into the home or office space. Some other common Feng shui tips recommend the use of plants in the eastern direction to increase financial security, avoiding mirrors in bedrooms for harmony in relationships and use of water in the northern direction to activate career luck. However if Feng /shui tips are wrongly implemented by novices it could have serious counter effects and create havoc in one’s life.

It is therefore always advisable to seek the advice and counsel of a professional Feng Shui advisor for accurate Feng Shui tips for any aspect of your life. The professional will make a personal visit to the space where you need to implement the Feng Shui guidelines and accordingly chart out a list of objects that may need to be acquired or suggest the changes that are to be made in your current settings around the home or office.

Early feng shui simply relied on astronomy so as to find correlations between humans and the universe and to understand the fact that it is inseparable from an understanding of political power in premodern China. Chinese often used the celestial pole determined by the pole stars to determine the north-south axis of settlements. This technique provided the more precise alignments of the Shang walls at Yanshi and Zhengzhou. In fact, all the capital cities of China followed the rules of Feng Shui for their design and layout. These rules were codified during the Zhou era in the “Kaogong ji” which in English mean the manual of crafts. Rules for builders were codified in the “Lu ban jing” that means the carpenter’s manual. In fact, this might be quite astonishing but even rraves and tombs also followed the rules that were laid down by Feng Shui. From the earliest records that are available today, it seems that the rules for the structures of the graves and dwellings were the same.

This technique or science as many calls it, is again quite intriguing and one has to be well versed with the rules laid by Feng Shui to create harmony between humans and the universe. There are various permutations and combinations that need to be done while trying to achieve harmony through Feng Shui. In fact, today wherever we go, we see that things are placed according to the rules of Feng Shui. In fact, houses are also built on the rules laid by this technique. Even though we are in an era of high-level technological advances, we still believe in astrology and things like Feng Shui. In fact, these kinds of techniques help to sustain hope in ourselves to think that things will all be well.

The very basic thing is that even if the world has undergone tremendous changes and has been progressing a lot, still we humans somewhere or the other, tend to get inclined to the cosmic being and to the various techniques that help to unite the cosmic with us.

While you are working hard and smart to be a better employee and making yourself more valued at the workplace you should enlist the help of Feng Shui to enhance your career success. Feng shui is about balancing the chi or energy around your surroundings. By balancing the energy in your environment, your own energy will be in harmony, and you will draw to you, people and opportunities that reflect this balance.

Here are 10 great feng shui tips to help create harmony at the workplace and to make your career advancement smooth sailing:

1. Good Support Behind The Back Of Your Sitting Position

The most important feng shui tips in the office is to make sure that you are seated with a good support behind your back. It is extremely important that your back faces a wall or some solid surface. You must never sit with your back facing a door or windows as this makes you vulnerable to “backstabbing” and “betrayals” in the office. If the back of your sitting position is a window, it is very inauspicious as it represents a lack of support. Close the windows behind you or hang a painting of mountains behind your back to provide you with good support.

2. Clearing The Clutter In Your Office

Clutter like unfinished projects, unused papers, unresolved works, disorganized office stationery and files are extremely bad feng shui to you. Your career will become a mess and you stand no chance of any career advancements. Clutter is like emotional constipation – it bogs you down. By clearing your clutter and arranging your office desk nicely, you create space for new things and your energy and creativity will increase.

3. Choose Your Office Desk In Your Success Position

Place your desk in your success position. Your success position will bring you great success and awesome career advancement in your career. You can know your success position by calculating your KUA number (or Star Number). Our feng shui website teaches you on how to calculate your person KUA number and how to apply feng shui in your work and career to bring great income luck and success. In addition, the ideal placement for your computer and desk is in a position that allows you to see the door of your office. If this is not possible, you can restore good Feng Shui by placing a small mirror on your desk that gives you a clear view of the door.

4. Place A Healthy Small Potted Plant On Your Desk

A plant will bring life into your workspace and will also absorb toxins in the air. My recommendation is to place a Money Plant on your office desk to attract career luck and income luck. The money plant can also help you ward off office politics and unpleasant things in your working environment. A plant on your table is also able to boost you creativity. Research has shown that you will be happier when there is greenery on your table.

5. Avoid Sitting Directly Facing Someone Else

Do try to avoid sitting at a work desk that is directly facing someone else at your opposite. This is bad feng shui as if you are seated in a position where you constantly face another person, there will certainly be accumulation of bad and confrontational Chi enery between the both of you. Consequently, this will definitely lead to conflicts and unpleasant arguments.

6. Do Not Sit Under A Strong Exposed Beam

You will be working under great pressure if there is a structural beam or bright light above where you are working. The bright beam or light will make you irritable and do your work impulsively. One good way to overcome the situation is to renovate the ceiling so that it is flat.

7. Separate Your Workspace In Your Bedroom

Feng shui do not recommend having a workspace in your bedroom as the bedroom is a place of rest. If you must have your workspace in your bedroom, try to partition it off with a screen. You can place a curtain or a screen to separate your work desk with your bed. In feng shui, work and sleep are two conflicting energies: Work is very yang and sleep is very yin, hence both must not mix together. In addition, a relaxing sleep will enhance your work productivity.

8. Display Crystals At Your Work Desk

In feng shui, crystals are great tool to absorb negative energies at work. If you want to avoid office politics and to make sure your career is smooth-sailing, you should display small crystal balls on your desk to ensure that everything goes smoothly at work.

9. Use Only One Door In Your Office

Do use only one door in your office, if there are more, keep them closed. This is because you only want your wealth and money luck to come to you in the only door and will not escape from other doors. Use only one door in your office if you don’t want your money to escape.

10. Carry A Jade Cicada With You

If you want to block off any office politics in the office, buy a jade cicada and carry it in your bags or hide it under your files and documents so that it would not be seen. Jade Cicada is a powerful feng shui tool to help you avoid confrontations and conflicts in the office. It is also able to bring good luck to your working environment.
