Why I ‘Feng Shui’d’ My Bedroom

0

The other day after a few “heated” conversations with my husband, I was laying in bed with puffy eye’s feeling flat, tired and seriously lacking in energy. The night before as we went to bed, no exchange of words, just the lingering emotions of anger and resentment. The lights were out and I quickly I scribbled into my journal “what’s it going to take to change this?” closed it again and went to sleep.

 
So there I was the next morning lying in bed, gazing over at 3(!!) big baskets of (clean) washing that were sitting in the corner of the bedroom waiting to be folded, and the kids had been in and had thrown clothes all over the place. It was just a big old pile of mess. For day’s (or perhaps weeks!) I had been putting off folding them, it’s my most hated household chore. And every time I would go to fold them, something would happen and I would end up doing something else.

 
Then I got to thinking, that corner aside from a few day’s here and there, had almost always had baskets of clean washing sitting there waiting to be folded. Then as those baskets would get folded, a few days would pass, more washing would get done and once again… more baskets of washing there. Then I thought back even further – when I was keeping my clean laundry in another room to be folded (I know, I know, I should just fold it as soon as it comes off the line… but it doesn’t happen very often!) and this is the corner of the room where we used to keep the hamper to put in dirty clothes. Since the day we had moved into this house, there had almost always been ‘something’ in that corner.

 
Creating clutter.

 
Keeping energy stuck.

 
As I was laying there, the word ‘Feng Shui‘ popped into my head and I got curious. So I got my compass out (thank god for smartphones!) and figured out that the corner of the room that had been accumulating clutter was the SW corner of the room. So I googled – ‘Feng Shui SW Corner Of Bedroom‘ to see what would come up and of course the SW corner is the relationship corner.

 
It all made so much sense now.

 
No wonder there was resentment building.

 
No wonder we had been arguing.

 
The stagnant energy in our relationship was symbolically being shown to me by the washing that was sitting in the corner of our bedroom. So after some further reading and figuring out what I needed to do the washing was removed (and folded!!) from my bedroom. I moved the set of drawers closer to the SW corner and I set up an Alter that includes a famed collage of pictures from our wedding day, a candle, a feather, a lucky bamboo, and some rose quartz and clear quartz crystals.

 
All symbolic.

 
All reminders of our love for each other.

 
I felt the energy in the room shift almost instantly. But the most surprising thing of all, was the soft energy I came home to that night. As a general rule, when we are arguing things get worse before they get better. Whenever we would try and sit down to work things out our ego’s would take over and we would end up in another argument (thankfully we have gotten much better at arguing these day’s and it’s no longer a ‘below the belt’ screaming match, but a much more dignified heated disagreement!). But this is not what happened this time. We greeted each other nicely, hugged, kissed and agreed to sit down and talk later on once the kids were in bed.

 
This kind of threw me a bit, but just figured the argument would come later on. But no. We laid in bed, talked. Both shared our viewpoints, although their was some tears (mine of course!) and some frustrations, we didn’t get into an argument. Instead, we came to an agreement that we were both happy with, (one that we have since implemented and is working fabulously!) and the night didn’t end in yelling, tears and tantrums. I was blown away.

 
Now, for some of you reading this you might be thinking ‘so what, isn’t that how adults are meant to behave’, but it has become crystal clear to me just how much a cluttered, messy house is a reflection of what is going on inside. I felt a real sense of cleansing between us. Like we had let go of so much of our old ‘stuff’. Since we have had that conversation, and I have cleared the energy in our bedroom, as well as the rest of the house and I can feel the difference. There has been a very significant shift. I have always struggled to keep my house ‘clean’. There would always be dishes on the sink, washing to be done, kids toys and stuff everywhere. I felt like I spent my whole day picking up and cleaning up after them, but now it all seems so effortless. Everyone is chipping in, we have created a cleaning roster that includes the kids and it’s all running smoothly. This is something that we have tried to do before, but have never succeeded at.

 
And I think a huge part of this was because I was demanding it.

 
It wasn’t something that we both agreed to.

 
The energy behind it was wrong.

 
Now, I am no Feng Shui expert, but it certainly does (and always has) resonated with me, and I don’t think that this is a coincidence that all these changes have occurred since making this simple shift. And it all happened so synchronistically.

 
And, at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter if this was the reason or not. I have experienced some really positive shifts

and if all it took was to figure out which corner was the SW corner of my room and clear it up a bit, then I am happy with that! :)

 
So what about you, do you use Feng Shui in your life? Have you experienced any energetic shifts because of it? I would love to hear in the comments below! xx
