Feng Shui from the Inside, Out – Day 13

Most of us have grown up with a mirror in the bedroom and many people feel inconvenienced by not having one there, but there are ways around the ordinance. The easiest way is to have the mirror on the inside of a closet door but curtaining the mirror will work just as well. As long as the mirror is only exposed while it is being used and is denied the possibility of absorbing light energy throughout the day, it will not prove troublesome.

Electrical energy is another known detriment to physical well-being as even the lowest wattage light gives off an electromagnetic field that can bother a vulnerable sleeping body at least a little. We are all more vulnerable when we sleep, to everything including toxins. Growing children and those compromised by any sort of organic physical challenge are even more vulnerable. I recommend, if you are interested in having a bedroom that supports health, obtaining a tri-field meter and learning how to use it. A tri-field meter will allow you to measure electro-magnetic fields, seeing where they drop off, so that you can ensure that your bed is placed well away from potentially hazardous energy. (When using a tri-field meter, bear in mind that underground water can also create electro-magnetic fields.)

The placement of your bedroom with regard to the direction of the light energy that affects it is also something to be aware of. If the windows in the room are facing south, they will be absorbing energy throughout the day. If you have difficulty sleeping or consistent health problems and a bedroom window that faces the south, you may want to consider keeping curtains or shades pulled throughout the day to limit that incoming energy. A north facing bedroom brings the opposite problem to those susceptible to over-sleeping or sluggishness and is somewhat more difficult to address if no other bedroom is available. Such a conundrum may require an in-person consultation to see what natural resources may be on hand that can be worked with.
