Your bed and stove are the two most important things in your home in Feng Shui. Where and how your bed is positioned is important to your sleep, your health and your love life. So, let’s chat about how to best position it for you.
The Basics of Feng Shui Bed Position, Ideally….
- Your Bedroom is in the back of the house. This keeps “front of the house” energy from interfering with sleep and intimacy.
- Your bed is not under a window. It is best to sleep against a solid wall.
- Your bed has equal access to both sides of it to promote equality in a relationship, if you are in one or want to be in one.
- You have two identical nightstands. This also promotes equality in a relationship, if you are in one or want to be in one.
- The head of your bed does not share a wall with a bathroom, a Kitchen appliance or anything else that has significant energy / electricity. If you can’t move your bed, get a Feng Shui Bagua mirror to push the energy away.
- Your bed should not be directly across from a mirror. As the mirror creates too much energy for restful sleep. If you can’t move the bed or the mirror, cover the mirror at night, place a crystal between the bed and the mirror and/or put red tape under the bedframe that is the closest to the mirror.
- Your bed should not be under a skylight as it invites too much outside energy into the place where you want restful sleep and intimacy.
- You do not have a mirror above your head as this tends to make people live in the past.
- You do not have anything heavy hanging over your head or bed while you sleep as this often makes people, in waking hours, feel as if they have “something hanging over them”.
- When you Bedroom door is open, it does not point to the bed. If this is the case, people frequently have pain or issues with the part of their body where the door points. For example, if the door, when open, point to your shoulder or head, you can have unexplained shoulder or head pain – especially on the side of the body closest to the door. If your Bedroom door, when open, points to your feet, you may experience foot pain.
- Your feet should not directly face the door.
- You should not sleep under a sloping roof. If this is unavoidable, put a mirror under the head of your bed facing towards the ceiling.
- If you want to be in a relationship, you should not have a single bed. You need to make room for the other person to be in your life (and in your bed).
- If possible, you should not sleep on a used mattress or a mattress from a long term relationship that ended. Best case scenario you are spending eight hours a day sleeping on someone else’s energy. Worst case scenario you are spending eight hours a day sleeping on someone’s else’s icky, gross, funky energy.
- Avoid king-sized beds if you are in a relationship or want to be in one. They can put too much space in a relationship.
Now onto to the good and not-so-good Feng Shui bed positions.
