Feng shui bedroom layout tips
Naturally the most important feng shui aspect in your bedroom is the position of the bed. This either needs to be against a solid wall or if away from the wall it will need to have a solid head board. The bed should be placed in the "power position" which will be the spot opposite the door where you can see the whole room before you and anyone entering the room.
On no account should you have the bed inline with the door as this is known as the “coffin position which will completely undermine your confidence and all that you do in life. Similarly, as the solid wall behind your bed represents your security and well being if you place the bed’s headboard against the wall containing the door then you will argue at some point, with whomever enters the room. This is the primary reason for arguments with children.
In Chinese philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine, energy is said to rise on the left side of our bodies and fall on the right side. When we mirror this phenomenon in our surroundings we feel extremely comfortable. Viewed from the position of laying in bed placing your wardrobes on the left and your dressing table on the right of the bed will easily create this effect. If we add a space at the foot of the bed this mirrors the “ming tang” effect which is alluded to in all forms of tai chi and Qi Gong and is said to make the occupants visionary.
Feng shui bedroom Mirrors
Although we need a mirror to dress etc, we should never be able to see our reflections in them when laying in bed. This will cause major sleeplessness. If you have mirrored built in wardrobes just cover them with fabric at night to cure this problem.
Feng shui bedroom beams
Feng shui bedroom beams are only a problem if they have a depth greater than 30 centimetres or 12 inches as this will cause a difference in air pressure. Sloped ceilings cause more of a problem as air molecules are constantly bombarding the angled ceilings and reacting with your body. You can cure both problems by hanging fabric over the bed or around the walls in the form of a tapestry or similar covering to absorb this energy.
Feng shui bedroom colour effects
