Feng Shui feminine side of the bed

Lately, my world has been all about balance. Learning the art of balancing my feminine side as well as my masculine side and everything in between. I've recently taken on daily balancing my chakras for alignment and healing in the body. It has had such an impact on my life, I've been feeling the call to balance all areas of my life.

Feng Shui is always a great guide for understanding how to balance the masculine and feminine energy in the home, especially in the bedroom.

Balancing feminine and masculine energy in the bedroom is key to creating a harmonious and inviting space that nurtures love and intimacy. Your bedroom should reflect a blend of softness and strength—a place where both energies coexist beautifully.

Feminine energy is all about warmth, comfort, and creativity, which can be incorporated with plush textures, soft lighting, and personal touches like fresh flowers or sentimental decor. Masculine energy brings structure and stability, achieved through clean lines, organized spaces, and grounding elements like earthy tones or wooden accents. Together, these energies create a balanced environment that fosters connection and passion.

Interestingly, even the side of the bed you sleep on can play a role in love energy. In feng shui, the left side of the bed is considered the "masculine side," representing action, giving, and strength, while the right side is the "feminine side," embodying receiving, intuition, and nurturing.

What side of the bed should you sleep on to attract harmony in love?

If you’re a woman seeking to attract love, consider sleeping on the right side to embrace your feminine energy. For men, sleeping on the left side can align with their masculine essence. Regardless, maintaining balance in your bedroom design and sleeping arrangement sets the stage for deeper love and harmony in your relationships.

I spent some time this weekend shopping at Round Top Antique Show. Every time I go to Round Top, I come home with an appreciation for antiques, ruffles, wood, fabrics, etc. It's like my modern glamour taste just leaves me and a more rustic glamour fills my mind. It led me to really think about decorating with balance. Thinking of ways to incorporate more of the rustic country vibe to an otherwise modern home.

As I have been working on balancing my masculine and feminine energy in my life, my business and my body, I also feel the need to update my sanctuary with balance. If the bedroom isn't in harmony, we may be lacking in one area or another. Feminine aspects: sleep, romance, bliss, rest, beauty. Masculine: confidence, organization, meditation and clarity are fundamental essentials for living your best.

Is your bedroom balanced in a way that supports all of these life functions?

If not, you may want to try and add some of these enhancements to your bedroom and see if they help to harmonize your sanctuary.

FEMININE ENHANCEMENTS: soft pillows, luxurious bedding and sheets, candles, soft lighting, flowers.

MASCULINE ENHANCEMENTS: plenty of storage, sitting area, black out drapes, clean tabletops, mirrors and artwork.

Happy Astrological New Year! Every year the sun moves into the first sign of the zodiac, Aries marking the first day of the astrological year and the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. Aries as the first sign of the zodiac loves a fresh start and many of them love to take risks and create new opportunities for themselves. We could all use this type of energy and there's no better time to bring newness into your life than spring when seeds that are planted begin to grow. So let's live vicariously through our Aries friends and decorate for Aries Season!

Aries Season Tip #1: Make Home Changes You've Been Putting Off

As the first sign of the zodiac, many Aries have a lot of energy and are quick to act, even if they haven't thought all of the details through. If they want to implement a change, they'll usually do it immediately. So if there's some change at home you've been putting off - a kitchen/bathroom renovation or even a smaller task like a decor overhaul, now's the time to do it. Sometimes the best strategy is just to start and figure out the details as you go along.

Aries Season Tip #2: Spring Clean

When the sun moves into Aries, it's spring in the northern hemisphere and we've all heard the term "spring cleaning." Spring is a physical and mental representation of renewal so now's a great time to clean out any clutter you've been holding on to and should have gotten rid of in January. But don't stop there, incorporate things reminiscent of spring - beautiful flowers, a new home fragrance and/or pastel colors...if that's your jam. You don't have to get crazy - a change to your down comforter, sheets and pillows is enough to bring spring into your home.

Aries Season Tip #3: Get Fiery

If spring pastels are not your thing, you can embody Aries energy by bringing stronger, fiery colors into your space. Aries is the first fire sign of the zodiac and bold bright colors can give this sign the energy it needs to keep going. Red, orange and citrus like colors are energizing and if used the right way can bring both the softness of spring and the power of this cardinal sign into your space. Just make sure to test the colors out in the way of accessories before making the commitment to painting your entire room red, 50 Shades of Grey style...

Aries Season Tip #4: Work it Out

Aries is ruled by action planet Mars and in Roman Mythology, Mars was the god of war. This gives many Aries a ton of energy which they need to exert in some way. Many of them do this by working out and/or playing sports. If you're not naturally an active person or someone who loves going to the gym, try to create your own workout space in your home that will encourage you to keep fit. You don't need clunky gym machines...look into shadow boxing, kettle bell and body ball exercises that you could easily do in the comfort of your living room.

Aries Season Tip #5: Put Yourself First

This is more for those of you who have a roommate or live with a significant other. Some of our Aries friends can be a little self-centered at times, but I promise they don't do it on purpose! We all could learn a thing or two from them about self-care and putting yourself first. If you're someone who is constantly catering to your loved ones without doing something that makes you happy, try to remember to put your "oxygen mask" on first. It could be a simple as taking a 30- minute bath or enjoying your favorite show in peace. Commit to doing something that fills your pleasure tank up first!
