We all need a good night’s sleep, besides, as you know, we spend a third of our lives in bed. So it is very important to make sure that the environment where we sleep is as harmonious, positive and protective as possible. How to do this, tells our expert, Feng Shui specialist, Natalia Klassen.
Feng Shui bedroom
It is believed that the bed should be placed so that the headboard is directed in one of your favorable directions. In other words, when you are lying on the bed, the crown of the head lice should “look” in your favorable direction. A description of this rule can be found in various sources: in books on Feng Shui, in various magazines, on the Internet. But few places write that this rule is far from the only one that needs to be taken into account when placing a bed in the bedroom. In addition, there are general Feng Shui rules that it is advisable to always take into account in order to avoid possible negative influences on you during sleep.
What should be avoided?
• position the bed with its legs or headboard towards the entrance or towards the window;
• position the bed with the headboard against the wall on which the door is located;
• put the bed under a beam or deepen its headboard into a niche, if your head is under something overhanging;
• put the bed directly on a straight through stream between the window and the front door;
• place mirrors opposite the bed, in which the sleeping person is reflected;
• place sockets, switches and other sources of electricity too close to the bed (the distance from them to the sleeping person should be at least 1,5 meters);
• place massive chandeliers and lamps directly above the bed;
• hang shelves, massive paintings or sconces directly above the head of the bed;
• place a large number of living plants next to the bed if the bedroom becomes like a greenhouse;
• place fountains, aquariums, fireplaces in the bedroom;
• put the bed so that the workplace is visible from it;
• if there is an entrance to the bathroom from the bedroom, you should not put the bed directly in front of this front door, and even worse with the headboard or feet on this door;
• put the bed in the center of the room when there is no support and protection from the headboard;
• a double bed should not be placed with its side to the wall; it must be approached from two or three sides;
• clutter up the space under the bed with boxes or unnecessary things, it should be free;
• put other furniture in the bedroom so that its corners are directed to the bed.
In this bedroom, the furnishings are almost perfect according to the principles of Feng Shui.
What should be considered when placing a bed in the bedroom?
• the bed should stand with the headboard against the wall, which provides protection and support during sleep;
• the best place for a bed is the farthest corner from the front door diagonally;
• the person lying on the bed must see the entrance door to the bedroom;
• the space above the head of the bed should be free;
• if there is a TV or a computer in the bedroom, which is visible from the bed, then during sleep it is better to cover its screen with a screen or hide it in a closet;
• the size of the bed should correspond to the size of the room, do not put too large a bed in a very small room;
• if you have made a redevelopment, then you need to take into account that the bed should not stand in a place where there is a toilet, bathroom or kitchen under you or above you.
If the above rules, the location of the bed in your home are met, but you still suffer from insomnia or are often sick, it is quite possible that the matter is not in the position of the sleeping place, but in the general energy in your bedroom. In this case, it makes sense to think about consulting a specialist. Sometimes, when analyzing Feng Shui, a situation comes to light when it turns out that it is better to put the bed in an unconventional way, for example, not against the most comfortable wall or even with the headboard against the wall on which the door is located. However, such cases are very rare, therefore, the general rules for the location of the bed in the bedroom, described above, are usually desirable to take into account.
And one moment. When you make any changes to the Feng Shui of your home, the correctness or incorrectness of what you have done is best tested empirically. Don’t be afraid to experiment! This also applies to the location of the bed. If something does not suit you, and you see the disadvantages in its location, start changing something and observe your feelings and events that will happen to you. Then you have a chance to find the best solution for your bedroom interior.
