simple shui tip: paint your bedroom a different color

here are 3 things I recommend taking out of your bedroom so it becomes a space that indulges and prioritizes YOU.

no. 1: what are the first 5 things you notice? if those don’t immediately say sleep, sex / sensuality, and stillness, it’s time to evict them. my *GOT TO GO* list includes – but is not limited to – exercise equipment, unopened boxes, laundry piles, work, and other people’s stuff. if it isn’t selling you SERENITY NOW, let it live somewhere else in your house.

no. 2: let’s do some quick word association. YIN is quiet. YANG is loud. YIN is settled. YANG is stimulating. too much YANG energy will disrupt how you sleep. it can intensify what you worry about at night. so, do a quick YANG edit. look first to the TV, electronics, and your phone – these all activate the mind. try covering up the TV at night (for a week). and if you can’t remove EMFs from the room, put them anywhere other than your bedside.

no. 3: what do you have hanging in your room? relationship woes – romantic or social – can often be improved when we remove any solitary or ‘solo’ imagery. if you feel creatively dried up or new opportunities aren’t presenting themselves, maybe you’re bored of the imagery around you. or, maybe the art depicts dry, frozen, lonely or barren spaces. the metaphors are endless. my suggestion: make sure you LOVE what you see. waking up / drifting off under that influence will absolutely change the energy you meet and mingle with daily!

in this episode of House Therapy, we are looking at a few more design choices in the bedroom, particularly the ones with the most OOOMPH for helping us wake up on the bright side of the day! xo
