Feng Shui Your Hotel Room

As many of us will be in a hotel sometime this summer, I thought it would be fun to share some tips for your stay. 

• If possible, choose an aupsicious day from the Chinese Almanac to travel
• Request a room with a beautiful and uplifting view
• Carry a talisman with you for protection and safety
• Tie a 9" piece of red cloth on your suitcase handles
• Clear the energy of your room by opening the windows; ringing a bell or chime; and spraying pure essential oil of orange, neroli or bergamot
• Make your room a yin sanctuary (quiet and dark) as much as possible for deep sleep by packing ear plugs and an eye mask as well as requesting a room far from elevators and ice machines
• If possible, sleep in the Commanding Position by adjusting your room  so that while laying in your bed you can see the entrance but you're not in line with the door nor does your bed cross the door.  Don't have a heavy beam crossing or splitting your bed, either.
• Cover the tv screen; mirrors;  and sharp corners on bed-side tables pointing towards your head (pack some fabric).  Make sure any blinds with blades are all the way closed or open but not half-open to avoid cutting chi.
• Keep the bathroom door shut; sink and tub drains closed; and toilet lid down when not in use
• Keep your chi lifted and supported by drinking lots of fresh water, exercising, receiving healing treatments, taking supplements and having long naps

Have a wonderful time!
