Today, I am tackling my ever-changing process with Feng Shui. Every year I invest a lot of time and energy into learning how to Feng Shui my personal space, and while the change is always nice (moving furniture is a very centering process for me), I have yet to find a setup that makes me feel comfy, secure and warm.  Since this is the first year I have lived completely alone, I'm committing my Feng Shui to every room in my apartment. This is the year that I believe I have finally figured out my personal Feng Shui, and today, I am remaking my bedroom. 

I have added more color to my room (I now have purple, green, brown, tan, and orange) and more decoration to my walls. It's important to hang art that makes you happy and at peace. I chose to put up a bunch of paintings from my good friend/amazing artist, Thunderclit.  They are abstract, creative, and make the walls of my room beautiful. Back to the Feng Shui of things:  No mirrors! I remember hearing once a Chinese proverb that goes something like this: "A man who sleeps with his reflection sleeps alone for forever".  I haven't had a mirror in my room for 2 years. Now, the most important thing I can relay about Feng Shui of the bedroom is bed placement. Never, and I mean never, place your bed in line with the bedroom door. It's best for the foot of your bed to be at a diagonal line from the doorway. I'm not sure how this improves energy flow, but it's always worked for me. I moved my bed to the opposite wall, still not facing the door, and ever since my dreams have been crazy vivid...I've finally been getting some restful sleep and remembering my dreams. It's nice getting back in that cycle again. I'm working on obtaining another night stand, so one will be on each side of my bed. It will help balance my room, and I'll have a second meditation spot in my apartment :)

Speaking of meditation, I sewed together my first meditation pillow last night. I want to gift it to my neighbors...they've been having a rough few months (a MRSA infection and a stillborn baby..) and some peace could really be helpful in their lives. They've been nothing but nice to me and some of that good energy really needs to be reciprocated back into their lives. It's what they deserve. It's what we all deserve.
