1) The most
important first step to realizing the benefits of Feng Shui is to perform a
Space Clearing procedure. Every environment has accumulated negative energy,
or "sha chi', that needs to be eliminated. This procedure will make all
other cures more effective.
2) Whether your
baby has his own space or shares your bedroom, the environment should be
very soothing. Use pastel colors and simple decoration. There is no need for
complex designs and bright primary colors, which can actually over stimulate
your baby and cause him to become fussy and a poor sleeper. Add textures
like crushed velvet, soft velour and thick, soft rugs.
3) Choose simple
furnishings, preferably with rounded corners. This not only provides the
proper movement of "chi", but also is also safer once your baby
becomes mobile.
4) Choose sheer
window curtains that allow filtered natural light into the room.
5) Remove all art that is under glass and remove mirrors. These all create
'chi' that is way too harsh and "yang" for baby. Hang a pastel
tapestry of flowers or an antique quilt on the wall.
6) Never place your
baby's crib under a sloping ceiling. The energy here is oppressive and can
cause numerous health and behavioral problems. If this is absolutely
unavoidable, use a
Crystal or simple Wind
chime to offset the negative affects of this type of architecture.
7) Do not dangle
complex mobiles over your baby's bed. Choose a simple mobile of pastel
colors or a set of three small Crystals
hung at slightly different heights. Place these in a stagnant corner, or
over the changing table.
8) If your baby has
been sleeping in your room and it is time for her to move into her own
space, begin by spending quality, happy time there. It is a great idea to
begin by feeding your baby there so that she will associate the space with
comfort and contentment
