There are absolutely no worldly circumstances, under which you can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t be making the very best of things.<\/p>\n

Is your bedroom an obstacle course of laundry piles, credit card slips, and mismatched socks and shoes? Does your nightstand threaten to topple over like the Leaning Tower of Pisa<\/em> with magazines, books, newspaper clippings, water bottles, tissue and and cough drops? Have the dust bunnies beneath your bed become so big that they\u2019ve grown teeth?\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While most of us can probably see a clear(ish) path from our bed to the bedroom door, I\u2019d bet our sleep zones (aka our bedrooms) wouldn\u2019t make it on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens<\/em> bedroom edition either. In other words, we\u2019ve got room for improvement in the most important room in the house (in my opinion): our bedroom (aka our dream zone).<\/p>\n

When we realize that a cluttered dream zone equals cluttered dreams\u2026when we realize how much a sweet sleep environment contributes to sweet dreams\u2026and when we realize how much a delicious night\u2019s sleep directly affects our ability to wake up on the right side of the bed and be delicious the next day, we might be inspired to make a few basic steps toward Feng Shui-ing<\/em> our dream zone.<\/p>\n

Feng Shui<\/em> is the ancient Chinese art of harmonious flow. According to Feng Shui<\/em>, a dream sanctuary is one in which there is nourishing and sensual energy. It lures you in while evoking a peaceful-feeling tone of joyous well-being. In a dream sanctuary you feel nurtured, replenished and safe enough to let your guard down all the way, whether for a cat nap, a full-night\u2019s sleep, or for passion beneath the sheets.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry! This can be done with just a few simple adjustments. As my friend 7<\/sup>Marie Diamond, the world famous Feng Shui<\/em> expert, featured in the movie, The Secret<\/em> says, \u201c33% of our experience is affected by our physical surroundings. It is a lot easier to hang a photo on a wall than it is to change your mental programming.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To create a dream sanctuary use your five senses as your guide as you use the following simple Feng Shui<\/em> tips:<\/p>\n
