The bed holds immense importance for every individual; hence, the Feng Shui of the bed stands as paramount. One must be mindful of unfavorable placements.
Firstly, positioning the bed under the window is discouraged. Placing the head of the bed under the window induces a sense of insecurity during sleep. Especially during storms and strong winds, this feeling intensifies. Moreover, windows are prone to drafts, which can lead to catching a cold due to even slight carelessness during sleep. In households with children, who are inherently active and may climb onto beds, this arrangement poses a significant risk.
Secondly, situating the head of the bed in line with the bedroom door or windows with constant ventilation is discouraged. This placement allows anyone in the living room to easily see the bed in the bedroom, creating a lack of tranquility and disrupting sleep, besides being aesthetically unpleasing.
Thirdly, aligning the bed in an east-west direction is discouraged. Earth itself possesses a magnetic field, oriented north to south. This magnetic field possesses the property of attracting iron, cobalt, and nickel. The human body contains these three elements, especially a considerable amount of iron in the blood. Sleeping in an east-west direction alters the distribution of blood within the body, particularly in the brain, causing insomnia or vivid dreaming, thereby affecting the quality of sleep.
Fourthly, directly facing a dressing mirror with the bed is not advisable. This is primarily because, in the darkness of night, when a person wakes up, especially during a groggy state or after a nightmare, seeing oneself or one’s partner move in a dimly lit space can be frightening.
Fifthly, uneven height of the mattress is discouraged. In modern times, most people use spring mattresses. If the mattress quality is poor and the springs deform, it can affect health. Therefore, the choice of mattress is crucial. It is advised to avoid mattresses that are too firm or too soft, as prolonged bending of the spine can hinder blood circulation, induce fatigue, and make a person prone to illness.
Lastly, storing miscellaneous items under the bed is not recommended. The space under the bed often lacks ventilation, making it damp and dark. Placing items there can lead to dampness, mold growth, or bacteria breeding. Moreover, it is challenging to clean this area regularly, turning it into a hygiene blind spot.
Additionally, it is considered highly inauspicious in Feng Shui if the bed is positioned facing a window. Regardless of which side of the bed is against the wall, windows that open to the outside should not be present on the wall where the head of the bed rests.
Firstly, it makes it inconvenient to open or close the window.
Secondly, windows accumulate dust easily.
Thirdly, it can make family members susceptible to wind and cold. From a visual and psychological perspective, the bed’s position should exude stability and a sense of security to ensure the quality of rest.
Fourthly, if the back of the bed is against the window, indicating no support, Feng Shui suggests that occupants might become restless, fall victim to gossip, or face hidden backstabbing.
Fifthly, when the head of the bed directly faces the window, it signifies lack of support. This can significantly impact the individual’s physical well-being and encounters outside the home. Such situations often lead to difficulties in external affairs, unclear communication, or situations where logic seems to lose its ground, fostering suspicions and lack of trust between partners, disrupting domestic peace.
Lastly, it is advisable for the head of the bed to be backed by a solid wall, creating a sense of focus and benefiting the individual. Conversely, if the bed is backed by a window, it represents an empty and unsupported space, which is not ideal. Therefore, having the head of the bed facing the window is considered an unfavorable arrangement.
Sleeping directly facing a window is not recommended. From a scientific perspective, sleeping while facing the window at night results in the moonlight falling directly on the face. Despite the seemingly serene ambiance, this can startle you awake, indicating a lack of mental peace.”
