Embrace Longevity & Romance with These 10 Feng Shui Secrets by Vicky White



Your bedroom is the most important room in your home. It
has the greatest effect on your health and well-being.
While you sleep, your energy fields are particularly
receptive to the effect of any imbalance in your
surroundings.

Feng Shui can help you create an environment where your
well-being is enhanced, not compromised. These secrets
will enhance the energy in your bedroom, improving your
health and impacting romance in your life.

1. Create A Sanctuary
How does your bedroom feel? Does it nurture your soul?
Remove anything that isn't related to the purpose of the
bedroom. It will be creating a conflict of energy.

2. Remove The Television From Your Bedroom
A television will affect your relationships, and also your
sleep. The television is a more vibrant, yang energy,
than the yin energy of your bedroom, which can make it a
less relaxing environment for sleep.

Also, the television, whether off or on, is emitting
electro-magnetic fields which affect your health. (Read
more about EMFs below)

3. Position Your Bed
The ideal bed position is as far away from the door as
possible, and with a clear view of the door from where you
lie. If you cannot see the door easily, this will set up
an unconscious vulnerability that will affect the quality
of your sleep. If it's impossible to see the door, set up
a mirror so you can see the door from where you lie.

4. Treat Yourself To The Best Bed For YOU.
Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's
worth investing in the best bed you can buy. Try out
several until you find one that works for you.

Your bed holds the energy of whoever has slept in it, so
buying a new bed is a good way to support a new beginning
in your life. This is especially important after the
breakup of a long relationship or after a long illness.

5. Remove Mirrors
If you're having trouble sleeping, check the mirrors. The
bigger they are, and the closer to you, the more effect
they will have. In Feng Shui, mirrors are used to increase
the energy. They are not always suitable for bedrooms,
where you want a more peaceful energy. If in doubt - try
covering the mirrors at night for a month to see if it makes
a difference.

6. Eliminate Sharp Corners
Lie on your bed and look around your bedroom. Do you have
corners of walls or furniture pointing towards any part of
you as you sleep? They will be affecting your health, and
specifically the part of your body they cut across.

Remedy this by softening the edges. For the corner of a
wall, you can hang a spherical crystal from the ceiling, a
few inches out from the corner, to disperse this cutting
energy. You could also hang a plant. Soften the edges of
a dresser with fabric or by placing a tall plant in front
of that corner.

7. Don't Let Clutter Bog You Down!
Clutter affects all areas of your life more than anything
else, and your bedroom is no exception. Clutter in your
bedroom will be affecting your health, your relationships
and your prosperity. Clutter prevents the energy from
flowing smoothly around your room and in your life.

Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved,
tolerated, disorganized. This can be physical clutter,
and can also be unresolved issues with your partner.
That's one reason why its recommended to resolve any
differences before you sleep.

8. Get A Fresh Perspective On Your Art
Art is a powerful enhancement in creating the life you want.
Is your art saying what you want it to be saying? If you
want to be in a relationship, yet have pictures of single
women on your walls, this will not be helping. If you have
an image thats disturbing in any way, this will be
affecting the peaceful environment you need to create
rest for your soul.

9. Remove All Electrical Items
Electro Magnetic Fields from electrical appliances are
becoming a worldwide health concern, with studies showing
they can contribute to various types of cancers and
autoimmune diseases. A good way to create a space that
nurtures your health rather than harms it, is to remove all
plug-in clock radios, TVs, answering machines, electric
blankets and any other electrical appliances.

At the very least, move them 12 feet away from you and
unplug them. Your long-term health will be affected in
direct proportion to the amount of electricity the item
uses, how close it is to you, and how long you are exposed
to it.

10. Create a nourishing view from your bed
What's the view from your bed? Do you look straight into a
bathroom, or worse still, into a toilet with it's lid up?
Keep your bathroom door closed, or create a barrier with a
screen. Make sure what you see when you wake has a sensuous
and nurturing feel.

Your health is at the core of your quality of life and your
body is your home, while you are here on earth. By applying
these Feng Shui tips, you will be protecting your most
precious asset.

What do YOU need to do to, to create an environment that
works FOR you rather than against you?

Creating Powerful Change with Feng Shui by Vicky White



The start of each year is a time of tremendous power. It's
an opportunity to press the reset button on your life. Its
a chance to look back on the previous year, set goals,
create resolutions and wish lists. Unfortunately two weeks
into the New Year many people can barely remember what
those resolutions were. How about you?

Did you start adding exercise programs, prosperity goals,
relationship goals into your life? Did you make space for
them?

In designing the life you choose, first you must make
space. In Feng Shui, clutter busting is the first step.
If you place enhancements in your home or office without
clearing the clutter, they will be ineffective.

The definition of clutter is anything unfinished, unused,
unresolved, tolerated, disorganized. If all you ever do is
remove the clutter from your environment and your life, you
will be making space for who you truly are. In my
experience, it is the single most powerful thing you can do.

The reason clutter affects you so greatly is that it blocks
the flow of energy. If you surround yourself with things
that are disorganized, or hold bad memories, or things that
remind you of something you would rather not think about,
theyll have an effect on your energy. Anything you are
tolerating blocks your energy.

If you can bring yourself to clutter bust when you are
feeling stuck, watch out!

Here are some of the things my clients have experienced:

- In clearing out her closet, within a few days a client
had the urge to begin writing an autobiography she had been
trying to write for 4 years. The secrets she cleared out
of her closet allowed her to write about the secrets in her
family.

- Clearing the clutter from her office a client gaining
new clients that same week. This included clearing her
filing cabinet and making space for new client files,
removing a broken clock from her prosperity corner, and
removing a painting from her relationship corner that didnt
reflect the type of relationships she wanted with her
clients.

- A client cleared out an office and discovered he had
made space for a new career path he is much better suited to

- Doing a body cleanse which freed up the energy to gain
clarity and to face relationship issues

- After having her condo on the market for some months,
this client cleared the clutter in her home and the
property sold within 2 weeks

- Another client cleared the clutter in her home, it sold
within a week and for much more than expected

- A woman with chronic fatigue syndrome gained a
noticeable increase in energy by having someone help her
declutter her home, including getting rid of clothes that
held memories of her life at the time she discovered she
had chronic fatigue

Growth creates clutter. As you make changes within
yourself, more of your belongings fit the definition of
clutter. Having the urge to discard things in your home or
office is a sign of you stepping more fully into yourself
and your abundance. If you are growing and changing you
are continually creating clutter.

Often its not until you clear your clutter that you realize
how it has been holding you in the past. Clearing clutter
is the fastest way I know to shift energy and create change.
