Feng Shui and Teen Boys Bedroom
by Kim C., Essential Feng Shui Enthusiast
I was visiting my girlfriend and family in Houston (years ago) after I moved to Atlanta. When I was looking at their new house I stumbled into her 14 year old son’s room. I flew out of there and asked the mom what was up with this disaster. She said “I know. He won’t clean it up. I’ve tried.”
When her son came home, I knocked on his door. I stated the obvious, what a mess the room was. He wasn’t interested. I asked if I could talk to him for a few minutes, and he boringly agreed. I cleared a corner on his bed to sit and asked how things were going for him: School – ok. Was he sleeping well – no, not really. What else was going on – Brett and his step-dad had been fighting a lot, his girlfriend was mad at him again. I asked if he would like these areas of his life to “fixed”. That got his attention as he gave a sincere “yes”. I told him I would help him. I told him how I had been reading about Feng Shui and how energy could improve his life with a few changes and a cleaner room.

Both as a child and an adult, I’d often been told it didn’t matter what I loved – I was lucky to get whatever I got, usually on sale. People with preferences were often called picky and spoiled. When I came to realize my personal preferences were essential in deciphering the things that nurtured and sustained me, I looked through magazines and catalogs and collected pictures of spaces and things I found especially attractive. I noticed I was drawn to certain colors, styles, and moods over and over again. My collection showed eclectic spaces comprised of oriental, rustic, and outdoorsy elements. Turquoise and golden tones predominated in intimate cozy spaces cast in natural light. I could hear the beautiful voices of my true preferences, and they really did make my heart sing.
Discover what makes YOUR heart sing, and invite those elements into your space to nurture and sustain you too!

Feng Shui Definitions
These suggestions are for men who want to attract romance into their lives:
- Is your bedroom a multipurpose room where you work out, watch TV, surf the Net, write proposals, and (supposedly) rest? Although this arrangement may be practical, it is not the slightest bit romantic. To attract a partner, make room for romance. Put your active equipment, TV, and computer in other rooms. If any of these items need to stay in your bedroom, screen or cover them when they’re not in use. Let your bed command your bedroom, and keep your bed linens clean and welcoming.
- Check your art. Introduce artistic elements that suggest sensuality and serenity, and move “single guy” art such as cars, centerfolds, or basketball stars to another location.

Fill it with love, love, and more love… As you breathe life into your inner world, it takes on a vitality of its own. It breathes life into you. Be ever enchanted as you drink in the layers of astonishing beauty your choices create. They are solely and eternally yours.
