		<description><![CDATA[<h3><strong>A Feng Shui Bedroom tip for the ages</strong> <o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3>Finding a free Feng Shui tip is a wonderful experience. There are so many<br />
different aspects to Feng Shui that any and all tips that you can get will be<br />
of enormous use to you and your family.  You can find a good Feng Shui tip<br />
for home or for your office on the internet. And the best part is that you will<br />
never have to pay a penny for it. <o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3> Each area of your home needs to have its own special aspects looked<br />
at. Your Feng Shui decorating will have to be individualized for the purpose of<br />
each and every room that you live in. For example the rooms that you use for<br />
entertaining should be bright colored to bring in some energy and vitality<br />
while other rooms like your bedroom should be softer and more comforting. In<br />
fact a good Feng Shui bedroom tip is to paint your bedroom green. Green is<br />
perfect for this room because it will bring balance to the room and it is also<br />
a healing and a calming color. <o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3> Finding a free Feng Shui tip like this one can change the way that<br />
you live your life from day to day. You will finally be able to have some<br />
control over the energy flow of your home with the use of Feng Shui. <o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3> Another great Feng Shui tip for home is to start using dimmers on<br />
your lighting fixtures. This is a wonderful way to help you control the chi. you<br />
will be able to adjust the lighting and thus change the entire feel of the room<br />
simply and easily. These switches are affordable and quite easy to install so<br />
anyone can add them to their home with ease. <o:p></o:p></h3>

<h3><span>The Feng Shui Bed</span><o:p></o:p>Choosing a Feng Shui Bed Headboard<o:p></o:p><span>While every area in the home is important and needs attention to ensure </span><o:p></o:p><span>Good Feng Shui practice, the bedroom is a good place to start.  This </span><o:p></o:p><span>Ancient Chinese philosophy of decorating and arranging a living space </span><span>or promote positive energies is designed to enhance the user’s life and </span><o:p></o:p><span>Experiences.  The bedroom plays prominently into this design philosophy, </span><o:p></o:p><span>As this is the room in which rest and relaxation are essential.  Without </span><o:p></o:p><span>proper rest, the other elements of life are going to be difficult to maintain.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>For this reason, it is important to choose the right Feng Shui bed for you, </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span>Your needs and energy.</span><o:p></o:p><span></span><span> Let’s first take a look at the design of the Feng Shui bed headboard itself.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>In Feng Shui it is recommended to choose a headboard that corresponds </span><o:p></o:p><span>With one of the five elements.  They are fire, earth, metal, water, and wood.  </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span>In terms of the shape of the headboard, once again, it is wise to choose </span><o:p></o:p><span>According to your life and its needs.  For example, a round shaped headboard </span><o:p></o:p><span>Is usually used with the metal element and is an excellent choice for those </span><o:p></o:p><span>Who work in an office or deal with a lot of paperwork on a regular basis.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>Especially useful for people who are of the earth or wood elements, square </span><o:p></o:p><span>Or rectangular headboards are best.  Professionals of all types will be drawn </span><o:p></o:p><span>To these shapes as well as they offer support and promote a strong sense of </span><o:p></o:p><span>Stability.  Another type of Feng Shui headboard is the wave and oval shaped </span><o:p></o:p><span>Headboards.  Those of the water element will be right at home with these </span><o:p></o:p><span>Shapes and very comfortable with the flowing design.  People who are artists, </span><o:p></o:p><span>Musicians, and of any creative profession will benefit from this type of headboard.  </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span>One kind of headboard that isn’t recommended for anyone is the angular style </span><o:p></o:p><span>Headboard.  It is associated with the fire element and not useful for promoting </span><o:p></o:p><span>Rest.  For the best results inchoosing a Feng Shui headboard, an individual </span><o:p></o:p><span>Should consider their personal needs, profession, and plan colors carefully.</span><o:p></o:p><span></span><span>Most headboards available are made of either wood or metal.  In choosing a </span><o:p></o:p><span>Feng Shui bed headboard, metal construction is usually beneficial to those </span><o:p></o:p><span>In an office profession, though the use of wood can be grounding and stable.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>Since wood is of the earth, people of these elements would want to choose a </span><o:p></o:p><span>Headboard of this type.  Overall, the shape of the headboard is often more </span><o:p></o:p><span>Important than its material.  </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span> </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span>There are other aspects of a Feng Shui headboard to keep in mind.  Those </span><o:p></o:p><span>Styles that are made with an open design are not suggested in the Feng Shui </span><o:p></o:p><span>Practice.  They are not considered to be supportive.  The use of mirrors in a </span><o:p></o:p><span>Headboard breaks into your energy fields and is not the best choice.  Also </span><o:p></o:p><span>Stay away from designs that include poisoned arrows.  A poison arrow is </span><o:p></o:p><span>Anything that has a point on it or has a sharp element that points at you.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>Anything that symbolizes violence or negative energy should be avoided.  </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span>For this reason, don’t choose a headboard that in any way resembles a </span><o:p></o:p><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><span> tombstone</span></st1:place></st1:city><span>.  It brings up thoughts of death.  The final headboard style to stay </span><o:p></o:p><span>Away from is one with crosses in the design.  It is considered good Feng Shui</span><o:p></o:p><span>To have a bed headboard with a design that includes x’s.  </span><o:p></o:p><span></span><span>The use of footboards in choosing a bed style in the Feng Shui tradition is clear.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>The footboard must not stand higher than the mattress of the bed.  If it does, it can </span><o:p></o:p><span>Block positive chi from reaching the person during their rest time.  In picking your </span><o:p></o:p><span>Feng Shui bed, it is very important not to choose a style that will interfere with the </span><o:p></o:p><span>Positive energy flow of the home and bedroom.</span><o:p></o:p><span></span><span> The placement of the bed is vital to a successful Feng Shui bed choice.  If possible </span><o:p></o:p><span>The bed should not be placed next to a window.  It is thought that the energy flows </span><o:p></o:p><span>out of it.  For this reason, the bed should be placed against a solid wall.  Also avoid </span><o:p></o:p><span>Putting the bed on a wall that is connected with the bathroom. other places to avoid </span><o:p></o:p><span>Are placing the bed under a fan and directly in front of the bedroom door.  It is also </span><o:p></o:p><span>important as with all areas in a Feng Shui home to keep the bedroom free of clutter.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>Clutter can disrupt the natural flow of chi. the placement of other bedroom furniture </span><o:p></o:p><span>is important as well.  Do not put a dresser at the foot of the bed.  Once again it disturbs </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3><span>The flow of energy and may cause health issues.  Always place the bedroom light to the </span><o:p></o:p><span>Side of the bed.  It is thought that a light directly over the bed is disruptive to sleep.  The </span><o:p></o:p><span>Same applies for clocks.  They should be positioned to the side of the bed.  It is </span><o:p></o:p><span>Important not to put them directly in front of or behind the bed’s occupant.</span><o:p></o:p><span></span><span>  Many people choose to make use of Feng Shui in their children’s bedrooms as well.  </span><o:p></o:p><span>The same principles apply for little ones as adults.  The Feng Shui philosophy doesn’t </span><o:p></o:p><span>Promote the use of bunk beds however.  The child on the bottom bunk will have their </span><o:p></o:p><span>energy limited by the presence of the top bed.  For the child sleeping on the top bunk, </span><o:p></o:p><span>The support bars around the mattress disturb their chi. If at all possible, place children in </span><o:p></o:p><span>Single beds of their own.</span><o:p></o:p><span></span><span> Be sure the Feng Shui bed you choose is in relation to your personal element and is </span><o:p></o:p><span>properly placed in the bedroom.  The positive chi will be a huge benefit in enhancing </span><o:p></o:p><span>your life.</span><o:p></o:p></h3>

<p>Feng Shui (also known as &#8220;geomancy&#8221;) is an ancient Chinese art used to promote such things as health, happiness and prosperity. The words literally mean &#8216;wind&#8217; and &#8216;water&#8217;.</p>
<p>Feng Shui, also called the Chinese Art of Placement, is a technique that is thousands of years old for bringing balance to one&#8217;s home, business and the land that surrounds them. It looks at many areas of one&#8217;s life (health, wealth, family, relationships, career, friends, fame, children, and knowledge) to determine blockages within the home or business, that might cause some type of problem, and then at the different types of &#8220;cures&#8221; that can be used to alleviate the problem. The methods for analyzing a space and the &#8220;cures&#8221; to correct the problems can vary from esoteric modalities used for centuries to technological solutions of our current timeline. Both must blend in harmony to created balance in one&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>The purpose of life is to create balance in all things allowing your consciousness to evolve beyond time and emotion, the duality of the illusion. Healing and working on yourself &#8211; is part of the equation &#8211; as all things are created by mathematical design / the blueprint or architecture of our consciousness program in third dimension &#8211; sacred geometry When you are in a space where feng shui has been used to create balance &#8211; you will experience it in all levels of your soul&#8217;s awareness &#8230; then you will understand.</p>
<p>Feng Shui is the ancient science of harmonising the natural life force energies called &#8220;Chi&#8221; within the environment.</p>
<p>The Ancient Chinese Masters of Feng Shui recognised that when man aligned himself with the naturally occurring forces of good energy in nature, he would experience &#8216;good fortune&#8217; and when he aligned himself with disturbed, negative or stagnant energy, he would experience difficulty and obstacles. Therefore, the aim of Feng Shui is to harmonise the life force (within an environment) and the objective is to harness these enhanced energies so that they can flow favourably and increase, expanding the good fortune in people&#8217;s lives.</p>
<p>Literally translated, Feng Shui means &#8216;wind&#8217; and &#8216;water&#8217; and it describes the way in which these subtle life force energies will flow within the environment to shape the land. However, even within the simplistic translation of &#8216;wind&#8217; and &#8216;water&#8217; there are deeper secrets to be known about the relationship between retaining and utilising positive life force energy.</p>
<p>In reality Feng Shui is based upon using the principles the Ancient Masters of Feng Shui observed and discovered thousands of years ago. These principles include the use of Feng Shui Astrology to harmonise the flow of Chi; the art of arrangement of objects within the environment; the organisation, grouping and aligning of people so that they can receive this increased positive energy from the environment.</p>
<p>The study of Feng Shui includes determining the form and shape within an environment, understanding how the life force distributes and travels, as well as the more intricate understandings of the Lo Pan compass and how time and space measurements will influence the environment. Then, the interpretation of Feng Shui incorporates proper alignment to the environmental forces as well as arrangement, placement, harmonising and re-balancing to create the best conditions for each person uniquely.</p>

<p>Feng Shui (also known as &#8220;geomancy&#8221;) is an ancient Chinese art used to promote such things as health, happiness and prosperity. The words literally mean &#8216;wind&#8217; and &#8216;water&#8217;.</p>
<p>Feng Shui, also called the Chinese Art of Placement, is a technique that is thousands of years old for bringing balance to one&#8217;s home, business and the land that surrounds them. It looks at many areas of one&#8217;s life (health, wealth, family, relationships, career, friends, fame, children, and knowledge) to determine blockages within the home or business, that might cause some type of problem, and then at the different types of &#8220;cures&#8221; that can be used to alleviate the problem. The methods for analyzing a space and the &#8220;cures&#8221; to correct the problems can vary from esoteric modalities used for centuries to technological solutions of our current timeline. Both must blend in harmony to created balance in one&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>The purpose of life is to create balance in all things allowing your consciousness to evolve beyond time and emotion, the duality of the illusion. Healing and working on yourself &#8211; is part of the equation &#8211; as all things are created by mathematical design / the blueprint or architecture of our consciousness program in third dimension &#8211; sacred geometry When you are in a space where feng shui has been used to create balance &#8211; you will experience it in all levels of your soul&#8217;s awareness &#8230; then you will understand.</p>
<p>Feng Shui is the ancient science of harmonising the natural life force energies called &#8220;Chi&#8221; within the environment.</p>
<p>The Ancient Chinese Masters of Feng Shui recognised that when man aligned himself with the naturally occurring forces of good energy in nature, he would experience &#8216;good fortune&#8217; and when he aligned himself with disturbed, negative or stagnant energy, he would experience difficulty and obstacles. Therefore, the aim of Feng Shui is to harmonise the life force (within an environment) and the objective is to harness these enhanced energies so that they can flow favourably and increase, expanding the good fortune in people&#8217;s lives.</p>
<p>Literally translated, Feng Shui means &#8216;wind&#8217; and &#8216;water&#8217; and it describes the way in which these subtle life force energies will flow within the environment to shape the land. However, even within the simplistic translation of &#8216;wind&#8217; and &#8216;water&#8217; there are deeper secrets to be known about the relationship between retaining and utilising positive life force energy.</p>
<p>In reality Feng Shui is based upon using the principles the Ancient Masters of Feng Shui observed and discovered thousands of years ago. These principles include the use of Feng Shui Astrology to harmonise the flow of Chi; the art of arrangement of objects within the environment; the organisation, grouping and aligning of people so that they can receive this increased positive energy from the environment.</p>
<p>The study of Feng Shui includes determining the form and shape within an environment, understanding how the life force distributes and travels, as well as the more intricate understandings of the Lo Pan compass and how time and space measurements will influence the environment. Then, the interpretation of Feng Shui incorporates proper alignment to the environmental forces as well as arrangement, placement, harmonising and re-balancing to create the best conditions for each person uniquely.</p>
