Feng shui ''allows soul to regenerate''

The bedroom is generally considered by many people to be the most sacred area of the house, and so a "perfect balance of yin and yang is necessary" - that is, if you are practising feng shui.

Cara Gupta Sarkar of Oneindia explained that keeping the bed in line with the door is the first major mistake, as this can drain out all of the energy in the room while also making the individual feel "tensed and stressful", creating possible health problems.

Keeping a mirror facing the bed is also a major drawback as per the rules of feng shui and if one cannot be moved, it should be covered with a cloth before sleeping if necessary, Ms Sarkar continued.

In terms of decor, painting bedroom walls with feng shui colours - those considered to be skin tones, ranging from beige, white, cream and brown - will best suit the relaxation levels aimed for by the homeowner.

The Feng Shui Society is the UK''s only professional association of feng shui consultants and teachers, with all registered practitioners undergoing extensive training with the organisation.
