Small Apartment Bedroom

[dlah]

I just moved into a new apartment, the bedroom is rather small and there's not a whole lot I can do with switching things around. My problem is my desk that also has a hutch for a bookshelf faces the bed. Both the desk and chest of drawers are large pieces and sit side by side on one side of the room, while the bed sits on the other. When I sit on the bed I feel as though I am being weighed down. A small crystal on top of the chest of drawers seemed to help a little. Is there anything I can do to make my room more feng shui "friendly"?

Hi,
Normally for a bedroom, it should be more Yin or `state of rest'. I am not sure if you are a student or working.
The type of environment would depend on what you are currently doing i.e this depends on whether you are studying (plus your study habits) i.e. in a dormitory or you are working and returning home to rest.
As you have not mentioned your nature whether you are a student or working or if you are a student, do you have the habit to study in your room or in a library and only return to the room to rest.
The best `cures' for a small room is to place a family photo of loved ones in the room. If you are an `extrovert' you could place posters (the type of posters depends on individual tastes).
Other than the above, check the lighting in the room. The type of light could affect the environment around you.
If you are a student and often study in the room, it is good to have a small hifi or portable radio in your room. Music does create a `more yang environment'.
The two large furniture opposite your bed do have a impact on you. You could place as I mentioned earlier some of your favourite collectibles on it to make it more friendly.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Thank you for your advice I do appreciate it.
I work most of the day away from home, but I do hold a second job and on weekends find myself sitting at the desk working. My room serves as an office/ t.v. room and bedroom. Most of the time it is used to sleep and relax, but on occasions it is also used for work.
Thanks for the help

Dear Amy,
Thanks for your clarifications. Since you are using your room at night,
lighting is important and this would depend on whether you are working or
resting. As far as possible, try to make the room as cosy as possible
particulary place a faourite photo or even a small vase of (real or
artificial) flowers would help.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
