If you suffer from the sleepless nights of insomnia, and are into alternative ways of looking at things, you might want to consider using Feng Shui to help you sleep better at night. The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui aims to channel the flow of energy between earth and heaven so as to help people live in harmony with this power. Some of the principles of this system of belief may recommend changing the arrangement of your bedroom in order to allow your natural energies to flow more easily, letting you sleep when it's the right time.
The first thing to think about when trying to cure your insomnia condition through Feng Shui is the positioning of your bed. Positioning a bed next to a window may cause energy to drain from the room, so some other location is preferred. Yet you must also avoid locating the bed directly in a corner, since energy is felt to be dormant in the corners. The optimal location would be against a wall that doesn't have a window. Yet, while in bed, you should also be able to see the entrance to the room and whoever might be entering, but the foot of the bed can't be pointed at the door. If this cannot be accomplished by means of any possible placement of the bed, you can still accomplish the same effect by hanging a mirror where it will reflect the entranceway so you can see it from the bed.
The surroundings are important too. Things with pointed corners create "energy arrows" that disrupt the flow of energy or even create negative energy. So if you have several bookcases or a desk, place them so that you're not facing them when lying in bed. If possible, it would be even better to have those things in a different room. If you can, keep the bedroom as uncluttered as possible, or have things with more rounded corners, which in Feng Shui would be regarded as more beneficial.
The visual impression of the room is also an important component of getting a better rest. For example, the images you place on your walls should be positive and soothing, rather than depressing or agitating. And things like televisions, computers, or exercise equipment should be kept out of the bedroom, since they induce alertness and stimulation rather than relaxation and sleep.
Even if you're somewhat skeptical about these beliefs, there's no doubt that a lot of the Feng Shui guidelines are in agreement with medical advice about distracting influences and stimulations in a room meant for sleep. It can't hurt to try out these principles, and it is quite likely to help. When you arrange the room where your sleep based on the philosophy of Feng Shui, you may produce a room that's more relaxing or even healing, a room that allows you to experience a restful, refreshing sleep.
