Help your Children With Feng Shui
January 3rd, 2010 | by admin |There is no doubt that raising children requires a lot of the life aspects that feng shui advocates and encourages. You need wisdom, prosperity, and definitely serenity to successfully get the little tikes to adulthood. Of course, Feng Shui and children go hand in hand as the little ones need encouragement in all of the life elements as well. It is a tremendous benefit to young minds and hearts to start out life with a healthy dose of harmony. Parents have found success with Feng Shui in aiding their children with sleeping issues, health concerns, and educational obstacles. Arranging their homes and bedrooms to reflect the ancient philosophy is a good start to a peaceful, prosperous road.
The Chinese culture places a huge emphasis on the importance of education. The way your child’s study area is laid out will make an enormous impact on how well they perform in school and types of grades they make. The child’s desk should sit facing the doorway of the room. If a child’s back is to the door, the positive energy will have a harder time reaching the little one. A good way to activate positive chi in a study environment is to place a crystal sphere in the main window of the room. While the crystal in the window is excellent, you don’t want to place the child’s seat in front of the window. This is very distracting and their schoolwork will suffer for it. Keep any sharp objects or even pictures of sharp objects out of the study area. They symbolize negative chi and your child certainly doesn’t need that while trying to learn. Implementing these Feng Shui and children educational practices can make a big difference in the wisdom life element.
Next to a child’s study space, their bedrooms are where kids spend most of their time. It is important for this area to be arranged in the Feng Shui tradition as well. Your first step should be to eliminate any clutter in the room. It’s not funny. Seriously, work with your child to arrange their things in their room without the presence of treasures and trash all over the place. The balance created in their room will improve the overall relationships within the family. Make sure you don’t overlook that handy space under the beds. If there is a lot of stuff crammed in there the positive energy can become stuck and unable to assist the child.
Where the little one’s bed is placed is important as well. The head of the bed should be placed on a solid wall. There shouldn’t be a doorway or window on the same wall. This is to stop chi from flowing out the window or door. Another useful hint is to place the bed so that a person has room to walk on either side of it. It shouldn’t be placed with the side to help with the balance of the child’s life. Once again, it is vital for good energy to have the room to effectively flow throughout the room. As far as other potential bedroom décor goes, you will want to keep mirrors out of the room. If the child needs to see his or herself, they can always look in the bathroom.
There are other aspects of a child’s bedroom that need to be addressed as well. In our Information Age, it is common practice for electronic devices to be all over the house. In a child’s bedroom, these devices need to be used carefully. The electromagnetic frequencies put off by electronics are harmful to sleep patterns and can increase moodiness and aggression. To limit these effects make sure any computer monitor, alarm clock, and lamp is placed three to five feet away from the child. Feng Shui and children are both natural things. These electronic inferences should be avoided whenever possible.
Other décor comes into play in the Feng Shui and children combination. Parents should help their kids choose the wall color in their bedrooms carefully. Bold, loud colors aren’t good for a restful environment. It may be necessary to compromise and use a muted, relaxed version of their favorite color. Younger children will benefit from images that are non violent and non-threatening. Cute animals and favorite cartoon characters are good choices. Older children should be instructed to limit the number of posters they have on their walls that depict negative images of any kind. A child of any age will feel a part of the family when they are alone with the addition of a family photo placed near their beds.
Using Feng Shui and children’s natural inclination towards relaxation and serenity is a wonderful way to give your kids a solid, balanced start in life. Remember that the use of color, furniture placement, and décor choices are important factors that need to be considered when arranging a child’s living space.

Feng shui – children area?
The "children area" in my apartment (according to the Bagua) is located right in my bathroom area. Everything in the bathroom is predominantly white and I can’t change this (I don’t want to paint the trimmings or replace the toilet and tub).
I read somewhere that there should be no white in the "children area", is this true? If it is, what can I do about tall the white in the bathroom space?
I don’t plan on having any children any time soon, because I am a single female student. However, I do want to embrace my inner child and have good relations with children (be able to get along with them) since I’m going to start teaching primary school soon.
Any suggestions as to how I can decorate this space to enhance my inner child?

No idea what feng shui is BUT
why not go with bright primary colors? think crayola crayons!
Or if that is too vivid, use the pastel shades.
Unless you are a hopeless romantic, and desire some fluffy stuff.
For a ‘ motif’ Go with frogs, dragonflies, florals, an ocean feel, a forest glade, the quiet twilight….
get wild get funky…what did that little girl (you ) love as a child?
Our main bath is white with brights, with accents of lighter tones, a mix of antique glass pitchers and holders, odd art I framed, unusal robe and towels hooks….

On the contrary, white is the color associated with children so is fine for the area. The suggestions might be more about balancing the effect of the water in the bathroom. Bathrooms are especially sensitive in feng shui as they represent energy being flushed away – not just in the toilet but down the sink and tub drains. Earthy objects -either yellow in color or possibly some decorative stones) and/or and red-colored objects (which could also be accessories such as shower curtain, towels, decorative soaps or canisters) would serve to cut down on the water effect. You don’t have to go overboard just do it with intention.
