Feng Shui Master Bedroom Myth Buster

“I’m doomed, the head of my bed facing north! Stop the Confusion!”

Oh; if I’d a coffee for every time I’ve been asked this question I’d be awake for days! To answer this very confusing question let’s get down to basics. Feng Shui bed placement is tricky because so many books on the market have differing opinions based on the consultant and the type of Feng Shui they practice.

In saying, the roots of Feng Shui are based on practicality. Although the north is ideal for sleeping arrangements because it resonate to Yin energy. Yin, meaning quiet feminine, still, restful, grounding, the perfect conditions for R&R Rest and Rejuvenation. It is not always an available or optimum option for consideration.

Let’s break this down to a Micro perspective. The ideal room location for a master bedroom is at the back of the dwelling, away from the street. The back of buildings are considered Yin spaces while the front living quarters are generally very Yang spaces, masculine, because of the foot and vehicle traffic. Yang meaning active. Make sense?

The most practical solutions are to be mindful of where the bed is placed in relationship to structural features such as bathrooms, chimneys, stairwells, elevators, protruding walls such as corners of closets, windows, etc. These are things you cannot change without changing the architecture of the building. These are things that a well-trained Feng Shui Consultant can help remedy with very practical solutions. Other Macro Environmental features a Feng Shui Consultant will identify are outside elements that affect the relationship you have with your bedroom. A train-track outside your bedroom has a profound energetic effect on your personal Ch’i

Micro considerations are the placement of mirrors, television, towering furniture, heavy artwork, books, closet and under the bed “stuff”. Each of these can contribute a needle like feel to the space, making sleeping feel like your laying in a bed of nails.

A Feng Shui Consultant is not only skilled in identifying what is “SEEN” as less-than-excellent Feng Shui, but is trained to identify the Un-Seen disturbances of EMF’s, electromagnetic fields that can interfere with your own physical energy circuitry. There are simple ways to reduce the effects of EMF’s such as use battery operated alarm clocks, removing the TV, VCR and any other non-essential electronics such as hairdryers, curling irons and electric blankets.

Don’t “worry” so much about the head of the bed best direction. Think practical and common sense. If it doesn’t feel good, than it’s not good for you. So stop peeking out from underneath the covers and open the blinds and take a good look at what your spaces is Clearly Telling you.
