Are your children headed back to school? You might want to take a look at the Feng Shui of their bedrooms or dorms before they get started. Make sure their beds are located in a command position in the room, with a solid wall behind the headboard and a view of the door from their bed. Keep computers, televisions and electronic equipment out of the bedroom or, at the very least, turned off while sleeping to protect them from exposure to EMF's.
The most rewarding aspect of my job as a Feng Shui advisor is teaching people how the environment impacts their lives and what they can do about it. As the summer season comes to a close, many of my clients are preparing their children to begin or return to school. The transition from carefree days with family and friends to a more structured, less familiar school environment can seem abrupt and even frightening for young children. Even high school and college bound children can experience anxiety about unknown social and academic expectations and demands on their ever-shrinking supply of time.
As parents, teachers and caregivers, there are things we can do from a Feng Shui perspective to help ease this transition and prepare children of all ages for a successful year. Young children rely on their elders for nurturing while teens require more discreet guidance as they slowly pull away toward independence. While educators and their institutions have an important role in our children's lives, intellectual curiosity and self-confidence are engendered at home. Here are some Feng Shui ideas for you to help them on journey.
