Day 6: Your Bedroom

Your Bedroom! This area most affects your ability to be a success in your life. It also dramatically influences your relationships. Before we Feng Shui, you’ll need to clear the clutter and clean it up.

1. The BEST thing to do is to remove everything from the room, the dressers and the closet that is not 'furniture'. Remove it all to the bins, sort it and trust yourself that you are making GREAT decisions for your life.

2. Now you can clean it. Clean each surface, lamps, overheads, windows, sills, light switches, phone cords...this is a NEW start for you, make it your best. What are you saying in your head? Fresh new start, love, life, happiness, health, wealth, freedom, security…you name it!

3. Now: what to return to the room?

4. Make the bed with freshly laundered linens (mattress pad and pillows if you can). (Feng Shui recommends a new mattress and box springs if you want a fresh new relationship or just a good night's sleep free from the past! We'll visit other feng shui tips for bedrooms alittle later...we're staying focused now.)

5. Night tables: only what you need. Do not fill the drawers, leave 25% of the space empty...this will allow the life force to flow and revitalize your life.

6. Books: only 1 or 2 books per person. You'll sleep or connect better where there are less "people" in the room with you.

7. TV/Electronics: a feng shui bedroom "don't". But if you MUST, cover it when you sleep and keep it as far from the bed as possible.

8. Clothing and Shoes ISSUE 1: only what you wear. If you have 4 different sizes, box and label or purchase a hanging wardrobe and remove the extras to 'storage' elsewhere.

9. Clothing ISSUE 2: how much do you need? We don't need 15 pairs of hose, 450 pairs of
unmatched socks, 12 pairs of size 6 jeans and the Pepto-Bismal Pink suit. BeBRAVE: move it on: the local theatre group, the GoodWill or Salvation Army or a local Church Yard Sale. You'll ultimately be better put together!

10: Photos and Artwork: a feng shui issue.Artwork: display only what is beautiful, sensuous,
loving and restful. As for photos, only a few (we don't want a party in the room every night) and be
selective about with whom you are sleeping!
