Feng Shui Bedroom: Success and Children

There is no doubt in my mind that applying feng shui principles can directly impact our youth. The human race is seriously undergoeing a universal transformation where the world, despite its continual path of chaos, war, famine, and environmental destruction, is affecting our children's spirituality. "Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers," Proverbs 17:6 ESV; this is to say that children trulydo shape the future and it is up to us to shape and mold them in the likeness of our Creator. Feng shui emphasizes nourishing children to grow to be sound, mature, and healthy adults with training them how to appriciate the environment that they must thrive in.

Rule #1 - Teach children to clean out the clutter. Try to separate the homework room from the bedroom to allow the child to focus better. If the child must do homework in his or her room, then clean out the clutter to help the child focus more. Children should be encouraged to clear out the space underneath their beds, which tends to foster "stuck" energy.

Rule #2 - Take the TV, video games, and distracting electronics out of the bedroom and move them to the family or resource room in the home. Replace energy zapping electronics with happy family photos that are visible from the child's bed so it will be the first thing they see before and after they sleep. Put up posters lovable pets, inspirational messages, and non-threatening positive images. Know the meaning behind the images in your teenager's room and encourage them to minimize harmful or "negatives" images.

Rule #3 - Limit EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies). EMF's are harsh energies emitted by electronic devices such as computer monitors and terminals, radio waves, and other electrical devices. EMT's affect melatonin production and disrutp sleep patterns in children (which can influence childhood depression, obesity, and behavioral disorders).

Arrange furniture so that your child’s body is at least 2 feet away from computer towers and computer monitors. Grandmother was right when she mentioned to not get too close to the TV because it can ruin your vision, so keep kids a 2 arm adult span distance from TVs.
