Problems in the marriage 　　Couples, be warned: good feng shui in the bedroom is vital to your good health and your romance. If your bed is facing the toilet bowl, that's where your relationship is headed. 　　NORMALLY, a person spends about one-third of his or her life in bed. The feng shui of the bedroom affects the quality of one's sleep and overall health. For couples, a bedroom's feng shui can affect their relationship. 　　Here are some important points to remember when you are checking the feng shui of your bedroom. 　　As told to Alice Fung by Au Chunk-tak (2395 5077). 　　(1) First, it is bad feng shui to position your bed under a beam in the ceiling. This will affect your physical and mental health. You will suffer from insomnia and nightmares and pressure will increase during your waking hours. This situation can be especially bad if the beam is right above your head a you will suffer from headaches. If it's right above your heart, you will be susceptible to a, heart attack. 　　And if the beam is directly above your stomach, your digestive system will suffer. 　　Of course, an easy way to resolve it is to move your bed to an area of the room which is not underneath a ceiling beam. But in Hong Kong space is so scarce, a simple alternative is to install a false ceiling. 　　(2) It Is also bad feng shui if you can see the bathroom and the toilet bowl when you get out of bed, because the toilet is a source of bad forces. For a couple living in such a bedroom, one party is more likely to be unfaithful or have an extra-marital affair. 　　Keeping the bathroom door closed is the best way to prevent bad forces from coming into the bedroom. Or you can use a screen to separate the bathroom from the bedroom. 　　(3) The bedroom is a place for rest and it? better to keep interior decoration as simple as possible so as to create a quiet and stable environment for a healthy mental state. 　　Keeping plants and animals is not recommended in the bedroom. The alternative lives of plants and animals may affect the environment of the bedroom and the sleep quality of its occupants. 　　(4) Another important point is that you should not hang any mirror in the bedroom which reflects your image as you lie in bed or as you get out of bed. This is because a mirror can reflect bad forces in the bedroom, affecting a couple's relationship and increasing their tendency to argue. 　　(5) It is good feng shui to have the head of your bed touching one of the walls of the bedroom. This is because a wall symbolize a high mountain which you can rely on, helping you to sleep safely and contentedly. Never position your bed in the middle of the room without the head resting against the wall. 　　(6) FinalIy, always choose light colours for the walls and fittings of your bedroom. And it is better not to hang opaque curtains. This is because good feng shui is a balance between yin and yang. Sunlight and colours such as pink, yellow and white give your bedroom more yang. Yin is represented by black and all dark colours. 　　A yang bedroom can make you feel energetic and refreshed in the morning but a yin bedroom will keep you tired and feeling low when you get up.
