Feng Shui Bed Position How To
Bed placement is a very important subject of Feng Shui interior design. The number of hours spent in bed and the vital things accomplished there (rest, recuperation of bodily organs, marital intimacy) makes the specific placement of the mattress central to harmonious interior design practice. There are some basic principles you can consider to help you achieve optimal Feng Shui bed position.
In addition to a good comfortable mattress, Feng Shui requires that you shop for a good mattress frame. Mattresses placed on the bare floor are considered unhealthful. Now examine the bedroom itself. You will be using some very specific guidelines to help you choose a suitable wall where the head of the bed will be positioned.
Windows are not stable; they allow unregulated energy to flow in and out of a room. If you must position a bed under a window, make sure that you have a headboard of good construction, and keep the window closed during sleep. Additionally, a heavy curtain or venetian blind (with the slats set in the “up” position) are recommended.
Most bedrooms have at least one window. While windows let in light and fresh air, they can also attract negative energy flow, may leach positive energy out of a sleeping person, and are not considered stable or supportive for a bed. It may not always be possible to avoid a window. In this eventuality, add a sturdy headboard to your bed frame shopping requirements. Close the window at night, and cover it with venetian blinds (slats facing “up”) or heavy curtains.
An open bathroom door can damage the energy in the next room. If you have no choice but to position a bed opposite a bathroom door, make it a strict practice to keep that door closed. It is further recommended that a mirror hang on the inside of the bathroom door so that negative energy stays inside. On a related note, do not position a bed below or against a bathroom that contains a toilet.
Falling asleep and staying asleep involves some gradual decrease in body temperature. Avoid placing your bed against or above a wall where the kitchen stove is placed and receiving its power source. Feng Shui alleges that the fire energy associated with a cooking stove can adversely affect the bed and sleeper, even when the stove is not in use.
Once the basic internal and proximal features of the bedroom have been considered, look up. It may be that your house has been build with support beams fashionably displayed as ceiling embellishment. But overhead beam can interfere with a person’s health and intimate relationships. Suspended ceilings can be installed to ameliorate the oppressive effects of exposed support beams.
If the floor plan of a house includes staircases and bedrooms that face each other across a hallway, other potential energetic flow conflicts are taken into account.
Anyone can improve the harmony of their home’s energy by considering their bed’s position and employing these basic Feng Shui principles.
