This article will tell you about how to properly equip a children's room in terms of Feng Shui.
The knowledge of antiquity on home improvement today is not as valuable and immutable as many years ago. One of the teachings that have managed to maintain relevance in our day, was Feng Shui. When arranging a children's room, where a new man will grow and develop, the advice of the ancestors is especially important.
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese way of living in unity and harmony with the energies of the earth. If literally, then feng shui means "wind-water" - the elements that can change the living and nonliving in nature.
Feng Shui focuses on how the objects are located, what shape and color they have, what they are made of, on their deep symbolic content. According to the teachings, all this not only affects our general well-being, but also can change our destiny. However, all these components are included in the concept of design. Therefore, you can safely use Feng Shui when planning a children's room.
As a rule, in order to properly plan the interior of the room, they make a special Ba-Gua map based on the dates of birth, individual for each person and place.
However, there are general recommendations: what contributes to enhancing the positive energy of Qi, and what can influence negatively.
About this and talk.
The main problem for the use of feng shui in the nursery is that the room itself is a universal space where the child learns, plays and grows. And only a few can afford to divide these functions into different rooms, but you can divide the nursery into zones suitable for these different activities.
You should not have a room where the child will sleep, near the kitchen. The door of adults, located opposite the door of the nursery, leads to disobedience and stubbornness in young children, and in adolescents - to wrangling and rebellion. This can be mitigated by placing “wind music” above the door - a ringing bell consisting of seven metal tubes.
The best for a growing baby is the energy of the east, which is associated with the rising sun. For an active child, the nursery should be located in the western part of the house, so that its windows let the rays of the sunset sun.
It is important that the child did not press anything from above, so try not to purchase bunk beds: otherwise, the upper tier will overwhelm the one who will lie below, and the ceiling will "crush" the one who lies on top. For the same reason, when arranging a nursery in a private house, you should avoid placing a berth under the steep slope of the roof. In turn, over the head of the bed should not hang objects such as a shelf, hanging closet. If you use hanging toys, they should be removed while sleeping. Storage of all things under the bed is not desirable, except for clean bedding. In this place there should be a lot of space for the smooth circulation of qi. Because of this, do not purchase a bed with a mattress too close to the floor.
The head of the crib should be directed in the direction most favorable to your baby's Gua number. If your child is a baby, watch how he lies when he wakes up. Children of this age are extremely susceptible to the geomagnetic fields of the Earth and, in a dream, tossing and turning, they lie in a favorable and convenient direction. It makes sense to position the crib so that the headboard coincides with the location of the child’s head when it wakes up.
Regular cleaning of the nursery also provides an influx of good Qi energy. It is necessary to think about the storage of toys and things, and from an early age to teach a child to clean up his room - debris, confusion, things that have not been used for a long time, create "stagnation" in the room. A daily cleaning also contributes to the development of responsibility in the child. Equip the shelves for toys at such a height so that your child can reach them, make the storage boxes bright so as to stimulate the child.
Furniture materials should be natural, as environmental materials are now popular - the best of them is wood. Angles with rounding will soften the flows of negative energy of Sha Qi ("secret arrows"), and will protect the child from injury. If the corners are completely impossible to remove, you can apply drapery fabric or hanging flowers, which will take on harmful effects.
The monitor of the computer or the TV should be turned away from the bed - electromagnetic oscillations do not favor sleep.
The center of the room should not be forced, but the furniture should be placed at the edges of the room.
With age there is a need to think about the workplace for the child. This is a place of study and creativity, where it is necessary to activate the child’s activity, to encourage him to self-realization and to obtain new knowledge. Here, in contrast to the sleep zone, where the aged colors should be, it is better to use a bright gamut with powerful properties of the energy "yang". For example, you can hang out the work of the child, his drawings or place posters with your favorite characters. A desk, like a bed, should be positioned so that your child can see the door. In this case, the unfavorable position of the workplace between the door and the window on the path of the energy flow.
Feng Shui believes that lighting, like color, affects our state. The more light sources, the better. In the center of the room, place a chandelier with several sources, and such that the light from it is directed upwards, as diffused light is more favorable.
Remember that you can always adjust zones using an aquarium, plants, and various talismans. It should not be forgotten that the main thing in Eastern philosophy is moderation. And thanks to the materials and textures, skillful combination of shades, proper placement and maintenance of order, you can create a healthy atmosphere in the nursery, suitable for both active daytime activities and for relaxing. And feng shui will serve you as a good helper in prosperity.
