Most of us get unwanted spam email several times per day, promising all sorts of ways to put spice back into our love lives. The majority of people who get these emails delete them without another thought.

However, there’s a way to get good energy and vitality into your bedroom without responding to unsolicited email offers. If you want to get a good night’s sleep, feel rested, and be in harmony with your partner, consider using a few of these feng shui bedroom tips. They can help you feel your best and have a peaceful bedroom.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tip One

First, decide what you want out of your bedroom, in terms of energy. Are you planning to spice things up, add vitality, enthusiasm, and energetic feelings to the bedroom, or are you looking for a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere that creates a feeling of sanctuary. Depending on what you choose, you’ll do different things

It’s important to make this decision, since you’ll use different methods when applying feng shui bedroom tips to your home depending on the effect you want. If you’re already having trouble sleeping, don’t try to make your bedroom a place of high energy. If your bedroom seems dull and dreary, more relaxation is the last thing you’re looking for. That’s why you should apply feng shui bedroom tips with a plan in mind.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tip Two

Start by taking a long look at the bedroom and cataloging what you see. Make an inventory in your mind of everything you see in the room, and ask yourself a few questions. It’s important to know if any object in your room is helping you achieve your goal, or if it’s getting in the way.

One important feng shui bedroom tip is decluttering. Remove anything that’s distracting from the desired mood. If you have childhood toys in the room, they might detract from romantic feelings. Bills or an unused piece of exercise equipment will induce anxiety, as will leftover dirty laundry. If you want a peaceful atmosphere, none of these items are acceptable.

That’s because it’s hard to feel relaxed in your own bedroom when you know that you have to make car payments, and the evidence is only a few feet away on your desk. Likewise, a pile of mending will keep you from fully getting into harmony and feeling at peace in your own room.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tip Three

People who are interested in spicing things up should start with color. One common choice is chili pepper red. It’s a great color to use as an accent in your bedroom, as it creates energy and good tension. However, it’s a bit overwhelming to use as a color for an entire wall. If you want to create a relaxing haven, color will help here, too. Look at colors like cool blues and warm browns to create a peaceful atmosphere.

Thinking about how a color will translate into the sort of mood you’d like to create will help you apply your feng shui bedroom tips more effectively.

Easy Ways to Improve Your Life Utilizing Feng Shui

August 12th, 2008 by Kristy Chung

 

by Kristy Chung

Many people are fascinated with Feng Shui and with many good reasons. While others generally believe that it is just some oriental superstitious set of paradigms on interior design (but that is just part of the extensive definition for Feng Shui), the Feng Shui that we know now is actually comprised of various schools of learning and incorporates the different cultures under which it is housed.

The good thing about the different options pertaining to Feng Shui is that even the layman can actually be able to understand and apply it immediately in their homes without having to spend too much. And apart from that, there are other advantages that only Feng Shui can bring if you can actually open up your mind to try it.

Balance is the key to Feng Shui. Ever found yourself totally overcome with cluttered junk and completely stressed out? You’re possibly suffering from an unbalanced visual environment. A great way to create a sense of balance is by pulling together elements that give you a sense of control in your immediate outer surroundings. If you can employ some semblance of harmony in trivial things like your furniture, surely you’ll find that creating balance in other facets of your life equally doable.

It helps you become more mindful of the little things. Mindfulness in the little things can actually be a good thing. Some of us tend to be heavily focused on the big things of life that even the minor details like home arrangement and office ergonomics no longer come to play. When these ?minor? aspects of life continue to take a backseat, they tend to accumulate and produce a very stressful environment which can add up to other problems and worries of life.

It also increases the possibilities for meeting new people. Meeting new people and making friends is another benefit of employing Feng Shui. When you apply Feng Shui you’ll more likely to find other people within your social circle who share similar likes and may even help you to increase your knowledge of Feng Shui.

Feng Shui brings a fresh perspective. At any given moment, a fresh perspective is certainly welcome. This positive new angle can invite positive changes. A paradigm shift in home arrangement, for example, will serve to benefit you over the long haul. The fresh perspective created by Feng Shui will actually foster enrichment of one’s thoughts and mind.

Inviting prosperity and abundance. The main goal of Feng Shui is to invite all the good into your life. Prosperity and abundance can be more easily within your grasp and a positive outlook can be expected if Feng Shui is practiced properly.

Increased aesthetic appeal. Beyond all the listed benefits of Feng Shui, the top would surely be its natural beauty. The aesthetic appeal of a properly decorated and organized home, incorporated with good Feng Shui technique, can be a legacy that may transcend generations and promote beauty in all other aspects of your life.

Jade and Feng Shui: Intertwined?

August 5th, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

To unleash boundless energy in your life alongwith good luck, health and prosperity, you must consult the ancient science of feng shui. Feng shui is a powerful art to bring vitality and energy in one’s life.

How much of these assumptions could be true? Could de-cluttering your business, rearranging your home bring luck and prosperity? Feng shui is so over hyped, if one could describe it that way, it makes you wonder if these claims hold true or the feng shui item you recently purchased for your home real or fake.

Let’s discuss Jade as an example. It is commonly used in Asian homes, so does it have those powers? How can feng shui and Jade change your life? Let’s review how and why Feng shui and Jade came to be associated. And does it really work?

Jade and Feng Shui in Ancient Asia

In Asian cultures, especially Chinese, jade is a popular metal element. In ancient times, jade was available in abundance and due to its malleability, it could be shaped into various forms. This was quite unlike other stones like diamonds that required skilled labor to tirelessly cut and polish them.

The inclusion of Jade in feng shui was much later. True Feng Shui history does not teach the use of the element or claim anything “magical” about it. Yet it has been valuable element in ancient China.

According to Chinese history, jade has been as valuable as gold and diamonds for the west. The art and culture describe jade as an important metal. It came to be used variedly from fine objects and cult figures to grave furnishings for members of the imperial family.

Introduction of Feng Shui to the West

As Feng shui became popular in the western cultures, it cam to be highly misquoted. Scores of self proclaimed feng shui experts found good money by adulterating the teachings. The “healing” power of Jade and feng shui got them easy money from unsuspecting people. Jade was an important element in the Chinese culture, and feng shui was originated from china as well. For these unscrupulous feng shui experts, it was easy to make these two seem intertwined in history.

Historically feng shui does not preach anything about any such healing powers of jade. It’s not considered “lucky” as it was being portrayed in the west. You could use jade in feng shui simply as another metal element added to a room or as apiece of artwork for aesthetic purpose. Jade would then work but separately it holds no such “magical” or special significance.

How to Use a Feng Shui Fish Tank

July 31st, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

You have probably seen plenty of pieces of Asian and Chinese artwork featuring goldfish or koi carp. There are also Asian water gardens which you can incorporate into your home, including these beautiful fish. Fish are very important when it comes to Asian and Chinese culture.

When you are using the science and art of feng shui, you might wonder how you can use a feng shui fish tank in your own home. How should you introduce it and where should you put it? Are there areas where it should not be kept?

A Real Feng Shui Fish Tank Doesn’t Have to Be Large

A lot of people think wrongly that when you are talking about a feng shui fish tank, you are talking about a huge aquarium which will take up half your living room. This is untrue. The basic feng shui principles encourage simplicity and balance and trying to fit a massive tank into a tiny apartment is only going to make the room feel cluttered which, again, is very anti-feng shui. You should choose a tank which is going to look good in your house and not be too big.

Smaller fish tanks will do the same job, especially if they suit the room they are in and add the element of balance. You can choose from an aquarium and a small fish tank, depending on the space you have available and your preference. You might just want a little fishbowl with a couple of goldfish. If properly maintained and well displayed, this will be just fine.

Those of you on a tight budget who couldn’t afford hundreds of dollars on a huge aquarium can breathe a sigh of relief now you know that size doesn’t matter when talking about feng shui fish tanks.

Where to Put a Feng Shui Fish Tank

You might already be familiar with the five elements in feng shui, which are water, wood, metal, fire and earth. These are the embodiment of feng shui and the elements complement one another and stop each other from monopolizing a whole room. This is why your feng shui fish tank will be useful. With a smaller fish tank or bowl, the balance can be attained by using it as an accent to the room.

If your room consists of mostly browns or tans, the water element from the fishtank will balance it out. Bright colored fish are the best to use, perhaps orange or yellow, and they will offset warm earth tones.

It is a bad idea for your feng shui fish tank to have to compete with a stronger element. If you have a large fireplace in your family room, you shouldn’t have a large aquarium in the same room. These elements are both strong and will conflict with one another, resulting in a lack of harmony and balance. In this case, you can either choose a smaller fish tank or place a large aquarium in another room where it is not competing against anything.

Make sure that you place your fish bowl somewhere it can complement the room and the environment in it. This will ensure your feng shui fish tank is used to its best advantage.

Why Feng Shui is Not Just the Latest Craze

July 24th, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

A lot of those in the engineering and design fields these days are giving some thought to feng shui, which dates to antiquity and concerns the placement of furniture within a home or office, even the placement of buildings themselves to encourage the positive flow of energy. So why is feng shui making such a comeback and more importantly, why now?

More of an art than a science, there are few if any rules written in stone to the practice of feng shui. There is plenty of room for the practitioner to work as they see fit. This gives you a lot of flexibility to use the principles of feng shui in a way that works best for you.

This does not mean, however, that there is no science behind feng shui. For instance take the advice given by interior designers to keep the rooms of a house tidy. There is a sound reason behind this - a messy room can lead to depression and keep one from being at their most productive, besides simply being unsightly.

There is a lot of emphasis on the use of color in feng shui, with the idea being to place vibrant colors in places where one can use their energy the most (for instance, wherever you drink your coffee in the morning!),
with more muted, warmer colors in the places you go to relax such as a bedroom or the den. These colors will make you feel relaxed, comforted and secure.

Scientific studies have shown that color does in fact affect your mood. Bright colors make you feel energized, with darker colors having the opposite effect. While there has not been extensive research done on feng shui as such, it does use many principles which science has independently proven. It seems that science is just now catching up with this ancient art in many ways!

A lot of people today are looking to have more energy to help them through their hectic, overscheduled days. This has led many to feng shui as a natural remedy for stress and lack of energy which modern lifestyles can leave one feeling drained of. It’s a natural perk up and one which has worked for many.

Using feng shui can’t cause any harm, so it is worth anybody’s time to try it out. The worst that can happen is that you’ll tidy up and maybe repaint a room or two - and it could bring you energy you didn’t even know you had!

Feng shui is not going anywhere and seems to be gaining popularity with each passing year. The practice has made its way from its ancient origins into our modern homes; and perhaps its time more of us welcomed it in.

How to Correctly Use Feng Shui Candles

July 19th, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

If you have been researching feng shui, you may have seen information on feng shui candles. How do these candles differ from regular candles? Should they be used in certain places? Are there any places that you shouldn’t use these candles?

The Five Natural Elements and Feng Shui Candles

The five natural elements are wood, metal, water, earth, and fire. The teachings of feng shui say that all rooms of your home should have a balance using these elements. Do you know what this means?

The best explanation for this is that one element will either nourish another element or demolish it. Wood nourishes fire, water gets rid of fire. The balance that you are trying to achieve by using feng shui is not to destroy the elements but to have harmony between them. If your living room has metal elements such as gray colors, balance this with fire. The way to do this is to use feng shui candles. Because a fire cannot be built in the middle of your living room floor, candles can stand in for the fire element.

How Feng Shui Candles Affect Energy

Because fire is an element that is associated with strong feelings, such as energy and perseverance, you can use this element in a room that is dull and lifeless. Likewise, if you need to energize your bedroom, feng shui candles are a great idea. Fire has been an element that has fascinated man for ages. A sense of power and energy has long been associated with fire. Do remember that to be on the safe side all fires need to be put out properly and never left unattended.

Feng shui candles are not limited to any certain room. They can be used in the dining room, the family room, or any other room of your home. Try using them to eat dinner by instead of the overhead lights and see how energized your children become. They will be more talkative than normal.

Where Do Feng Shui Candles Not Belong

Fire is most likely one of the top strongest elements, if not the strongest. For this very reason, you should think very carefully about where you use your feng shui candles. A room with a fireplace does not need any help. Use them in another room where they are not competing with another fire element. Feng shui candles on a mantle above a fireplace are a definite no-no.

It is best not to use feng shui candles in children’s rooms. Make sure they are securely placed in a holder and not close enough to pets or small children to be turned over.

When you decide to use feng shui candles, paying attention to the right and wrong way to use them will ensure that you will have a renewed energy in your home and your everyday life.

Useful Tips for Feng Shui Beginners

July 15th, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

Have you heard about the wonderful benefits of using feng shui in your life but are at a loss where to begin? Are you worried about paying so-called feng shui experts a lot of money to give you a reading about what you should do in your home? Are you wondering whether it is real or just baloney?

Don’t worry because we have some great pointers and tips for all feng shui beginners to think about before they go further. Before spending anything on an adviser or dismissing this ancient science and art as a bunch of bunk, check out the following explanations.

Feng Shui is Based on Oganization and Tranquility

This is one of the most important principles in feng shui and one which the beginner needs to be aware of first. Feng shui is not about painting your front door red to attract wealth, nor is it about having to place your sofa exactly here or your bed exactly there. It is about attracting calm, order, peace, balance and harmony into your life. One of the first things that beginners to feng shui are advised to do is to de-clutter their home as much as they can.

Why is this important? Because clutter causes chaos and stress in a home. This is a scientifically proven fact. If your living environment is cluttered with all sorts of things you feel disappointment and guilt over unfinished projects and chores. You are also frustrated and annoyed when you can’t find an important item amid the mess.

Some feng shui beginners might immediately dismiss this element but think about it. If your home is messy and cluttered, how does that make you feel? Do you feel positive about your home and good about yourself? Probably not.

Feng Shui Helps to Create Specific Moods

The use of color is a major part of feng shui but not because some colors are better than others or because certain colors are “lucky”. This is a common misunderstanding amongst feng shui beginners. Instead of this, one color is used to energize a room or to create a certain mood. Strong colors such as purple are red are used sparingly and seen as bold and fiery. Vibrant, bright colors can be a great pick-me-up and soothing, warm colors are calming and relaxing.

There is scientific data available to back these claims up. Biologists understand the way in which we relate to colors around us. This can apply to a variety of situations. Brake lights, fire engines and stop signs are red to draw immediate attention to their importance. Taxi cabs are yellow to make them stand out amongst other cars.

If you are a feng shui beginner, don’t dismiss the concept but don’t let it overwhelm you either. You don’t need to believe in the hocus pocus superstitions that some people have mistakenly thought applied to feng shui. You can however appreciate the aspects of this art as being effective and sensible.

If you want more proof of what feng shui can do for you, clean out your closets and repaint your bedroom. See if those simple changes bring some positive energy into your life!

Wind Chimes: Just Aesthetic or Perfect For Feng Shui?

July 8th, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

If you ever visit china or Asia on a vacation, you will see several homes have wind chimes hanging out on the porch or a window or above the doorway. Wind chimes are believed to have been brought to the US through Feng Shui. Wind chimes were always used as another beautiful piece of artifact at home before Feng Shui as well. Here we will look into some details.

How do you use wind chimes as a part of Feng Shui in your home? Where should they be used? And if there are locations in your house were wind chimes should not be used?

The Five Feng Shui Elements and Wind Chimes

feng shui is the science of the five natural elements of fire, water, earth, wood and metal. These balance each other and avoid destructive dominance of any one. Feng shui wind chimes can be of wood or metal and are usually used to balance out these five elements in your home or a room.

If your room signifies the earth element, then you can use metal wind chimes to balance it. A room in colors of brown or tan would mean earth element and displaying a wind chime in metal outside the room in a manner that it is visible from within the room balances the energies in that room.

Besides the metal on the wind chime, if it has colorful artwork on it, the colors balance the room as well. Orange or yellow flowers on the e wind chime will offset the warmth of the brown and will not allow it to overpower it.

If your bathroom is white in color, which resembles peace and purity or the water element, it can become cold and sterile. You could hang a wooden wind chime in the balcony or form a window to bring in the warmth of the wood element. A nice brown wooden wind chime or one with darker artwork will offset the white of the kitchen brining warmth and harmony.

Bad Feng Shui Locations For Wind Chimes

we always speak of including things according to Feng shui into your home and lives; exclusion according to the science is equally important. Wind chimes should not be used in a chaotic and busy house. Wind chimes are not a welcome addition to noisy houses. They should also be omitted if neighbors aren’t happy with them or your apartment rules don’t allow them.

Feng shui brings peace and unlimited energy into your lives. If there already is a lot of noise in your household, or if you get into trouble with neighbors or landlord, it is best avoided. The essence of the science should be preserved: happiness, vitality and harmony.

Using Feng Shui to Increase Wealth

July 3rd, 2008 by Feng Shui Secrets Revealed

 

Have you ever considered that you might be able to use the ancient art of feng shui to help you attain wealth? You can, but first you have to consider some important factors that you want to keep in mind before you begin. First of all, consider what you want to accomplish when you think that feng shui will work to make you wealthy in your particular case.

If you are experiencing specific financial setbacks right now and are thinking that they can be “cured” with feng shui, that’s wrong.

In addition, if you want to use feng shui to acquire wealth, you need to also consider what will be required of you as you use feng shui to attain it. In fact, no ancient practice, science, ritual or art will suddenly provide you with money and wealth with no input from you; you will still have to do your part. In essence, then, you can’t just “ask” feng shui for wealth and have it magically appear on your doorstep.

How are these things tied in with each other, then? Many believe that you can use feng shui to attain wealth, and some have said that their own experiences of this were actually successful. What did they do to bring about these results? What things did they avoid in their pursuits of wealth?

You need to remember that feng shui at its essence is all about balance, harmony and calm. You need to bring these elements into your everyday life when you consider your avenues for wealth, including work and employment.

For example, perhaps you see ways in which you yourself are bringing a lack of harmony or balance to your career. In fact, many workplaces these days stress the importance of “teamwork,” and they expect that their employers will understand the importance of this. If you don’t, often, you are in line to be fired. Therefore, if you don’t think “teamwork” when you go to the office, you might soon actually find yourself looking for another job. Is that any way to become wealthy? Certainly not.

In addition, when you consider using feng shui to acquire wealth, remember that feng shui encourages positive energy for accomplishment. Therefore, if you are attempting to pull together a sense of “family togetherness” or fun, think bright colors and upbeat elements for your family room. These things can make everyone in the room feel energized and alive. In turn, this can encourage closeness and energy among members of your family.

What this means in regard to wealth and feng shui, then, is that you need to apply personal and positive energy toward pursuing wealth. This means that you have to work hard, not be wasteful with money, and apply proper ambition to what you do as well. You cannot have wealth without these things.

Basically, feng shui is not a “magical cure” that will bring you wealth. Simply painting your front door red or hanging a crystal over a mirror is not going to be enough to make you wealthy or to fix disorganized finances. You’ll still need to put in the work necessary to make your own life match this balance. However, if you apply feng shui’s principles, including balance, harmony and positive energy, you may just find that your circumstances vastly improve. In turn, your wealth will also increase.
