Feng Shui Notes MBR

Our Feng Shui friend didn't have too many negative things to say about our master bedroom. But she did offer recommendations:
  • Fill the gaps in the headboard.
  • Take out all the mirrors. They invite a third person into a marriage. Some think that even pictures with glass frames are just as bad.
  • Don't store stuff under the bed. It weighs you down.
  • The bread winner (that's me, apparently) should sleep so that the headboard faces Southwest. That's the wealth corner. (Conversely, my wife is supposed to sleep in the opposite direction.) But in our case, the position is impractical. This advice might be specialized for our Chinese zodiac "signs" which are Water and Rabbit for me, and Fire and Horse for my wife.
  • Hang a picture of mountains above the headboard.
  • Pink would be a better color for the walls. We have a soothing blue-green as shown in the older picture.
  • Get rid of the plants. (I didn't hear / understand the reason for that, so I can't elaborate.)
  • The long hallway causes Chi to concentrate and accelerate into the bedroom. A crystal hung in front of the door would help.
  • The lamp in the bedroom that can be seen from the other end of our long hallway should be moved. She actually recommended to move it into the living room, but we need it in the bedroom.
  • Make sure closet doors are closed when sleeping. When open, the doors aim negative Chi at the bed with their sharp edges.
This picture was taken after we had the room painted and got new bedding. The headboard hadn't arrived yet.
