There are many ways to prosper with Feng Shui and we often turn to this ancient practice to achieve success in Business, Relationships and Health. In my blog this month, I want to talk about 8 Feng Shui tips for better sleep. These simple recommendations can help you achieve more restful and restorative sleep while also promoting balance, harmony, and prosperity in your life.
Choosing your Headboard
Security, support, and grounding are all Feng Shui elements that the right headboard can provide. Choosing a Feng Shui headboard helps to Manifest the right Energy while you’re sleeping. I always recommend a solid wood headboard with smooth edges rather than sharp and pointy. Sharp surfaces can direct negative Chi toward you while you sleep. Avoid a Metal headboard for its heavy and piercing Energy and avoid Glass for its fragile Energy.
Feng Shui Bed Position
One of the most important Feng Shui principles for better sleep is having your bed in the “command position.” This means your bed is in a position where you can see your door but not directly in line with Chi coming through the door. The Feng Shui command position enhances Positive Energy and promotes success. I recommend positioning the bed centered on a solid wall and never tucked in a corner.
Embrace Restfulness
To implement Feng Shui for better sleep, you must embrace your bedroom as a space for rest. TV’s are for an entertainment space, desks belong in an office, and treadmills should be found in a dedicated exercise space. You can create a Feng Shui Intention for sleep by eliminating distractions in your bedroom.
Choosing your Colours
Bedroom colours can have a powerful impact on your sleep. Feng Shui colours for bedrooms are always calming colours. Soft, natural colours such as off-white, light brown, or clay yellow for bed sheets promote grounding Energy and peaceful sleep. Bright colours can be too stimulating. In considering my own bedroom Feng Shui, I avoid reds that can bring up intense fiery Energy or blues that can stimulate waves of emotional Energy.
Harnessing Feng Shui Crystals
Amethyst is a powerful Feng Shui Crystal known for its soothing Energy. Amethyst brings peace to your mind and is a great choice addition to your bedroom for a harmonious sleep. To ease restlessness, I recommend placing Amethyst on your nightstand; or for deeper and more energizing sleep, you can place a small Amethyst under your pillow.
Avoid Mirrors
Feng Shui bedroom mirrors can reflect Energy around the bedroom while you’re sleeping, creating restlessness and even worry. In Classical Feng Shui, we do not endorse mirrors in the bedroom where you can either see yourself when in bed or get in and out of the bed. If you’re having difficulty sleeping or wake up tired, I recommend reconsidering mirrors in your bedroom altogether or keeping them covered while sleeping. While Feng Shui mirrors can be associated with luck and prosperity, they can create clashing and conflicting Energy in the bedroom.
Maintaining Positive Chi
One valuable Feng Shui principle for better sleep that helps you to keep the positive Chi from escaping your bedroom…If you have an ensuite bathroom or there is a bathroom near your bedroom, it’s always a good Feng Shui practice to keep the toilet seat down and the door closed so that Chi doesn’t escape down your drains.
Feng Shui Plants for a good night’s Sleep
The topic of Feng Shui plants for the bedroom is a debated topic among Feng Shui experts. In my experience, plants are always a welcome addition to your Home and your bedroom when chosen carefully. Snake plants filter indoor air and are one of the few plants that convert carbon dioxide into oxygen at night. Bamboo (one or three stalks) in the bedroom can bring balance and harmony to your life and relationships.

Moving into a newly constructed Home can be an exciting time in life. You’re taking possession of a brand new Home and you have an unparalleled opportunity to make that Home your own. From the earliest design phases to your final move in date, there are some Feng Shui basics for your Home that can help you cultivate powerful, positive energy that ultimately brings you and your family peace and prosperity. Understanding Feng Shui and applying some simple tips can ensure that your Home is not just cozy and comfortable but also promotes free-flowing and energizing Chi. Let’s take a closer look at Feng Shui to move into a new Home.
Whether you are considering exterior paint colours, landscaping, or other design elements, a Feng Shui Home study can be a great place to start. As a Classical Feng Shui Consultant, I can provide a full-scale review of your Home (inside and out) to help you make decisions that invite healing energy into your Home while preventing heavy energy from entering. Some of the key principles of house moving Feng Shui can be easily applied when you have built a new Home because you have total control over your Home’s construction and design. So with that in mind, it is important to consider every detail of construction including landscaping, yard elements, and entryway design.
Easy Feng Shui Landscaping Tips
Plants are an important tool in Feng Shui, so you should not be surprised to learn that landscaping can have a big impact on your new Home Feng Shui. When choosing plants for your yard, I always recommend that you plant small shrubs around your walkway. Be mindful of the “power of 2s” and avoid having a single overwhelming plant or a single-potted plant at your entrance. Create balance and promote Chi flow by pairing plants. Also, a good Feng Shui tip is to plant shrubs that are green year round but be careful not to let them get overgrown and block your entryway or walkway.
Feng Shui Entrance Tips
According to Feng Shui Home design principles, you should carefully consider your walkway and entryway to your Home. For example, it is not suggested to create a straight line to your front door; instead, Feng Shui Home Construction experts recommend a meandering walkway that is clear of clutter or obstacles. Your front door should be easily visible from the street; and according to Feng Shui practice, it is also important that your house numbers are visible so you can easily invite positive energy into your Home to allow it to circulate. Outside lighting is also important and should be balanced so that your entry is clearly illuminated, house numbers are visible, and energy moves easily.
Exterior Home Feng Shui Elements
There are also Feng Shui Home ideas that can guide you when making decisions about the exterior element of your Home. I always recommend that homeowners consult with their Feng Shui expert to determine the ideal colour for their Home or front door. Depending on the direction your house is facing and that of the back of your house, you should choose your exterior element wisely. Grey or white colour represent metal, but there are also colours that reflect the other Feng Shui elements: fire, water, and wood. As an example, if your Feng Shui Consultant recommends the water element then outdoor features of the back, front, and sides of your house should incorporate blue and black colours – this may include colours of the lawn furniture, planters or the colour of the outdoor decor.
Indoor Feng Shui Tips
Finally, there are many ways Feng Shui can help inside your Home as well. In previous blogs, you may have learned that Feng Shui Experts recommend avoiding plants with sharp edges, but these recommendations include décor elements as well. For example, avoid tables and other furniture that have sharp corners as these may pierce the energy in your Home. Use mats in bathrooms, front entrances, and kitchens, but choose mats that represent Feng Shui grounding colours such as off-white, beige, light brown, or clay. When choosing an outdoor mat, avoid made with coir – a hay-like fibre that breaks down over time and can also fracture the qi entering your Home.
Feng Shui for your Home is a great way to create a warm, personal energy that serves you and your family today and for years to come.

Mindful Office Feng Shui can be a powerful tool for boosting, growing or invigorating your Career or Business. Whether you are considering Feng Shui for the Office at Home or you want to incorporate Feng Shui in your Business, there are simple Feng Shui practices that can help you reach new levels of wealth, growth, and success. You can easily apply many of these Office Feng Shui tips in your own space while also encouraging your employees to do the same. I encourage you to follow these tips to allow Chi to flow freely and attract new opportunities in your work.
Command Position
The command position is an important principle of Feng Shui. In my work, I often talk to my clients about the command position as it can be applied in any space of your Home or Office. We may talk about the command position of furniture in your bedroom or living room and in your Office, the command position relates to the position of your desk.
When positioning your desk, you want your back to a wall to provide support and you do not want to face a wall. Think of the common expressions “I’ve got your back” or “you’re hitting your head against a wall.” You should be able to see the door without being direct across from it. If you have a window, it should ideally be to your left or right. This command position in Office Feng Shui puts you in a position of control where you can see what is coming and allows energy to flow freely.
Feng Shui Office Desk
In my consultations about Feng Shui in the Office, I encourage my clients to think about the type of desk they use and how their desk is organized. You should choose a solid desk that is made from wood to create stability in your work and career. Avoid glass desks as glass represents fragile, broken energy.
You should keep your desk free of clutter – I recommend organizing and clearing drawers at least every few months. Only keep active files on your desk so that the energy is current and moving in the right direction. A well-organized desk with minimal clutter creates space for opportunities and promotes growth and prosperity.
Feng Shui Devices
Sometimes my clients are surprised that Feng Shui principles apply to your computer or device as well. As you want to remove clutter from your desk, you also want to remove clutter from your devices. Delete any files or phone numbers that you no longer need. Maintain your email inbox and files so they are current and useful. Ample free space on your computer and devices is important to allow the universe to deliver new opportunities and for Chi to flow freely. I always start my devices at least daily for a few minutes to invite fresh Chi – just as you would open your windows to allow stale Chi to escape, starting your devices prevents Chi from being trapped.
Your device or desktop screens are a great place to use affirmations to remind you of your current intentions and to inspire growth and prosperity. I love to turn on my computer to see beautiful affirmations, but it’s also important to keep them current. You can even use affirmations as your passwords for inspiration and to welcome clear, positive energies. Affirmations in your passwords and home screens are an easy and effective method to remind your higher self of your true intentions.
Other Office Feng Shui Tips
There are many other ways you can apply Feng Shui principles in your Office or the Home Office.
Place a Crystal at or close to your desk. Citrine is a very powerful Crystal to enhance Career properties while Clear Quartz aids in Manifesting your desires.
Like you would regularly clean your windows, and keep your device screens clean to invite prosperity and prospective opportunities into your career.
Avoid office clutter by removing old equipment and furniture (desks, scanners, printers) that are not serving you to allow free-flowing Chi.
Take a minimalist approach in your Office and allow the Universe to present you with new ideas, opportunities, and paths to success.
