The Bedroom: Claiming Your Oasis of Serenity and Sensuality

Serenity and sensuality—two key characteristics of a happy existence—are currently endangered in our Western culture. Their main habitat: the bedroom. This is primarily Madam Yin's domain, a room meant for sleeping, dreaming, romancing, and recharging your batteries—the perfect antidotes to a busy day. However, with an all–consuming interest in activity, many bedrooms have become just as busy as the rest of the house. All too often, for children and adults alike, they function more as home offices, media rooms, or exercise studios with a bed thrown in somewhere. This kind of arrangement eliminates the soothing ministrations of Madam Yin and can cause many imbalances including sleep disorders and chronic exhaustion. When this last refuge is stripped away, you have no place to go to really relax and be nurtured in a soothing Yin atmosphere. The more active and "crazy" your lifestyle, the more crucial it is to reinstate balance by claiming your bedroom as an oasis of rest, rejuvenation, and romance.

Make the bedroom so sensually attractive and comfortable that you melt into "her" warm embrace every night, sleep well, have sweet dreams, and awaken refreshed and energized.
