Could you use a better night’s sleep?
Do you often have bad dreams or nightmares?
Would you like to ward off negative energy from your home or bedroom?
If so, using a dream catcher in your home can help! Not only are dream catchers good feng shui, but they also have a long history of filtering negative energy while promoting positive energy and good dreams!
What is a Dream Catcher?
Dream catchers were first created by Native Americans as protective charms for infants.
They were traditionally hung over cribs or beds to protect infants from harm.
They were made using willow hoops, sinew thread, and usually feathers and other sacred symbols.
The threads were usually woven to resemble a spider’s web, which was meant to catch anything that would bring harm to the child.
As dream catchers were adopted by other Native American and Indigenous tribes across the content, they added their own charms and sacred symbols to them.
Dream catchers now are used by people from all cultures and backgrounds as a symbol of good luck and protection.
In feng shui, dream catchers represent good luck, happiness, and prosperity.
They filter and cleanse negative energy, catching it so that it can’t circulate.
Keeping a dream catcher in your bedroom can help decrease insomnia and ward off bad dreams.
Keeping a dream catcher in your home’s knowledge and spirituality area, or your meditation room, can help with spiritual wisdom and insight for everyone in your home.
Dream catchers help create a peaceful environment that increases well-being and positivity for everyone in your home.
