If You’re Already Tried Every Insomnia Remedy Under The Sun, Why Not Try Feng Shui?

If you cannot remember the last time you had a good night’s sleep you’ve most likely already tried every insomnia remedy you can think of. But have you tried Feng Shui? Feng Shui is the traditional Chinese system of aesthetics that uses the laws of both Heaven and Earth to improve life by receiving positive energy. It might sound silly to you now, but if you have already tried every other insomnia remedy you can think of, why not strive Feng shui? It may be just the solution you’re looking for.

Remove the television, computer and exercise equipment from your bedroom. Even if you don’t use them at bedtime, just having these items in your bedroom destroys the good, Feng Shui energy that’s in the room. You need to think of your bedroom as place to sleep, not work or exercise. And having a television on will only make it that much harder for you to fall asleep.

Open a window and let the fresh air in. In order to have good Feng Shui in your bedroom you need to have fresh air, free from pollutants like cigarette smoke or food odors. It’s also not good Feng Shui to have plants in your bedroom unless the room is very large and the plants are located far from the bed.

Use calm, soothing colors in your bedroom to promote the best flow of energy for restorative sleep. The best colors for the bedroom are colors that range from pale white to chocolate brown and pastel blues and greens are also known to be peaceful, calming colors.

Images carry a powerful Feng Shui energy so when choosing pictures for your bedroom choose images that you would like to see happen in your life. Bright, sunny, happy pictures as opposed to depressing or brooding pictures. And for the best flow of Feng Shui energy keep all bedroom doors closed at night. This includes the door to the hallway, the bathroom and the closets.

As for the bed itself, Feng Shui is all about allowing the good energy to flow smoothly throughout the room and around your body. For that reason you should have a bed that is a reasonable height off the floor and beds with underbed storage are not good for Feng Shui. If you’ve got storage boxes underneath your bed those should be removed, too.

Position your bed so that it’s in a diagonal line with the door but as faraway as possible. You want to be able to see the door from the bed but not be directly aligned with it. There ought to also be a headboard on your bed, preferably made of wood, and your bed ought to be up against a strong supporting wall. Now, you need to ground the energy with a night stand on either side of the bed and there ought to be no sharp angles (from furniture or objects) pointing at you while you sleep.

If Feng Shui sounds like a snake charmer’s solution for an insomnia remedy, you should bear in mind that it’s an ancient Chinese art form that’s been in practice for hundreds of years and that many therapists swear by it. As I said, if you’ve already tried every other insomnia remedy, what have you got to lose?
