The practice of feng shui in one’s bedroom is subject to eight notable prohibitions.
1. The Layout of the Bedroom: The layout of the bedroom profoundly reflects the state of one’s love life. Opting for a square-shaped bedroom layout ensures a stable and enduring romantic relationship. Love flourishes in a state of equilibrium, avoiding extremes, fostering a relationship characterized by equality and harmony. Conversely, in a narrow and elongated bedroom layout, temperamental outbursts and impatience may surface, fostering frequent quarrels.
2. Illumination Surrounding the Bed: The bedroom, a relatively private space, can nurture intimate connections. Nevertheless, if the bedroom is enclosed, devoid of windows for sunlight to grace or shrouded in dim light, misunderstandings may burgeon between partners, making it difficult to share one’s innermost thoughts.
3. Bed Placement in Regard to Windows: Windows in the bedroom symbolize matters of the heart. Thus, one must exercise caution. Ideally, the bed should not be placed directly against the window, as this could lead to disturbances in the magnetic field during nighttime rest, gradually causing fractures in the relationship.
4. Keeping the Area beneath the Bed Uncluttered: The space beneath the bed warrants particular attention. Though it may seem tempting to store infrequently used items there for the sake of tidiness, over time, it can accumulate dust, pests, and an unclean aura, which may cast shadows on the romantic sphere and hinder effective communication between partners.
5. Overhead Projections: Traditional feng shui doctrine deems objects above the bed as ominous, fostering inauspiciousness and adverse health effects. Modern psychology supports these concerns, as they may induce psychological stress, influencing hormonal balance, potentially leading to sleep disorders, nightmares, and respiratory ailments. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the area above the bed unobstructed.
6. Avoiding Direct Alignment with the Bedroom Door: Positioning the bed in a way that it can be seen entirely from the outside robs the bedroom of its privacy. This is especially important in modern bedrooms with attached bathrooms, where the door to the bathroom should not directly face the bed, as this alignment can introduce excessive negative energy, potentially causing discomfort in the lower back and kidneys.
7. The Mirror Dilemma: The presence of a mirror in the bedroom significantly impacts both health and the harmonious nature of a marital relationship. It is widely regarded as inauspicious within bedroom decor. Mirrors possess inherent properties that counteract negative energy, and positioning them in a way that reflects negative energy onto the bed is deemed highly unsuitable. From another perspective, in the middle of the night, individuals may find themselves startled by their own reflections.
8. Bed Orientation: The orientation of the bed with respect to the west is a crucial factor in determining the bedroom’s feng shui. It is strongly advised against.
