I\u2019m sure that when you think of your bathroom, you think of water. Feng Shui believes that water is the sign of wealth and prosperity.\n\nHowever, because this is the room most often associated with germs, you need to work a little harder to bring that positive chi out! So, just like you did in your kitchen and closet, start by going through your bathroom and <a href=\"\/2018\/04\/declutter-room-feng-shui-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ridding yourself<\/a> of any half-used or expired items that you don\u2019t need anymore.\n\nTo go the extra mile, add one of the air-purifying plants we mentioned in Part 1 into this space. A bright, airy environment is always good for your state of mind, but if your bathroom doesn\u2019t have any windows, consider what sorts of <a href=\"\/2017\/05\/5-feng-shui-rules-never-broken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">colors<\/a> and\/or objects you can decorate it with in order to manually lighten the room.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;20147&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dont_forget_your_windows\"><\/span>2.

If your windows are smudged and dirty, you won\u2019t be able to perceive the world outside clearly. This distortion is harmful for your state of mind, and also for your Feng Shui flow.\n\nWhen Spring cleaning, take the time to properly focus on all the windows in your home. As mentioned in Part 1 of this segment, try to use all-natural cleaning products, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/articles\/71272-9-feng-shui-tips-for-spring-cleaning-your-apartment-because-we-could-all-use-a-little\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">orange-infused vinegar<\/a>. After thoroughly washing the windows themselves, make sure not to forget about the curtains, too!\n\nOnce everything has been scrubbed clean, the final step is to open the windows up. This will quite literally give any negative energy in your home a way to escape. In its place, fresh, clean energy will be welcomed inside your home instead.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Symmetry_is_key\"><\/span>3.

To best tap into your bedroom\u2019s positive energy, Feng Shui recommends that you create a sense of symmetry and balance within its overall design.\n\nThis is because, as we touched upon in Part 1, the state of the given room is meant to reflect the state of your well-being. If your room is balanced, your <a href=\"\/2018\/05\/can-feng-shui-courses-improve-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state of mind<\/a> will be, too.\n\nHere are a few tips for making your bedroom a bit more symmetrical:\n<ul>\n \t<li>If possible, try to have an equal amount of space on both sides of the bed<\/li>\n \t<li>If possible, have matching objects on either side of the bed (such as nightstands, lamps, etc.)<\/li>\n \t<li>If you have artwork or d\u00e9cor on the walls, space everything out so things are balanced throughout the room<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>While you\u2019re at it, another idea is to rearrange the positioning of your bed so that you have a clear <a href=\"\/2017\/05\/5-feng-shui-rules-never-broken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">view of the door<\/a>.

The best way to rid yourself of it once and for all is to purify the room with a sage smudge.\n\nSmudging is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cb2.com\/blog\/how-to-sage-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ancient ritual<\/a> used to cleanse an environment, promote self-healing, and bring peace and clarity to the mind. The fact that it also smells <em>really <\/em>good is just an added bonus!\n\nFor safety purposes, make sure that before you start, you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cauldron-smudging-incense-decoration-Diameter\/dp\/B07583XZ5Z?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fireproof burning bowl<\/a> available and ready. Then, with the windows open, you can light your bundle of sage. Begin at your front door, and then move through each room.\n\nUsing either a feather or just your hand, waft the smoke emitting from the sage. Many believe that you should make a figure eight pattern with the burning sage itself.\n\nBe mindful not to simply walk into a room, smudge a tiny bit, and then leave. It\u2019s important that you cover as much of each room as you possibly can; from the corners, to the ceiling, etc.\n\nOnce you\u2019ve finished smudging your whole living environment, you can extinguish the sage by putting it out in the fireproof burning bowl.\n\n<strong>Note: <\/strong>If you have asthma or any other respiratory condition, make sure you first consult with a doctor before performing any sage smudges. While it\u2019s said to be harmless in small doses, it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;20149&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Embrace_the_Spring_vibes\"><\/span>5.

Take in the smells, the sunshine, and the emotions it sparks within you. Allow yourself to focus on <em>only <\/em>these things, and embrace them.\n\nWinter can be a stifling, stagnant time for many of us. As magical as it can be, it\u2019s often just as depressing, dark, and lonesome. Spring, on the other hand, is a time of rejuvenation! It symbolizes change, growth, and the start of something new.\n\nAcknowledging these positive attributes and sensations will help to center you. It can get you feeling motivated and excited for the path ahead. An optimistic frame of mind is like the final cherry on the cake of positive Feng Shui energy![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]Lastly, like we mentioned in <a href=\"\/2020\/05\/how-to-use-feng-shui-in-your-spring-cleaning-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Part 1<\/a>, it\u2019s critical that you not be too hard on yourself.
