I’ve heard that it’s a good idea to replace your bed linens often. Why is that?

Your bed represents you, so it’s one of the best places to implement feng shui adjustments. One simple thing you can do is to take care of your bed, and acknowledge the preciousness of your bed and the support it offers you. 

One way to care for your bed and acknowledge its support is to regularly change your bed linens, and to buy the highest quality bed linens you can. You spend a great deal of time in bed, and you are surrounded by your bed linens for about a third of your life. Take a moment to audit your bed linens: are they non toxic? Organic? Are they of high quality? Are they full of holes? All of this reflects upon you. 

Also, your skin is your largest organ, and you absorb the energetics of how and what your bed linens are made from. This means that it’s helpful to pay attention to them, refresh them often, and keep them clean. 

When it’s time to let your bedding go, there are a lot of ways you can repurpose or recycle it. I like to donate my old sheets to animal shelters. You can also find textile recycling nearby, or cut them up and use them as rags.
