Aligning living spaces with good energy
The practice of Feng Shui holds a myriad of knowledge in its history of creating living spaces that are aligned with good energy. With it, there is an abundance of tips revolving around how to design your home.
For instance, use Feng Shui to chart your home's philosophy surrounding your furniture arrangement and recommendations on plants that bring you luck. In addition, there are also some helpful principles on what not to do.
Let's find out if your room is mistakenly embodying this Feng Shui ‘don't' and how to resolve the positioning for a positive shift in energy.
In conversation with Feng Shui master Marie Diamond, she tells me that in Feng Shui, it is unfavorable placement of a bed where your feet point directly toward the door.
Do not set up your bed so your feet are pointing straight out the bedroom door.
When it comes to Fung Shui mistakes, this position is one that most practitioners of this art actively avoid.
How Should Your Bed be Positioned for Good Feng Shui?
Ideally, your bed should be set up in a commanding position for the best Feng Shui. Instead of having your feet directed at the door, you should be positioned so you can see the door clearly, when in bed and leaning against the headboard. You want to be able to see the door without directly being in line with the door.
What to do if You Can't Avoid that Position
Use symbolic solutions to block and redirect the energy flow. Here are three tips for realigning your room's energy.
1. Create a Barrier: One of the most effective solutions is to place a piece of furniture, like a small table, bench, or decorative screen, between the foot of the bed and the door.
2. Use a Footboard: If possible, she suggests adding a footboard to your bed. This creates a physical boundary at the foot of your bed, providing protection and helping to redirect the energy away from your body as you sleep.
3. Place a Rug: Place a soft, plush rug between the bed and the door. The rug will help ground and absorb the fast-moving energy coming from the doorway, in turn, creating a more calming and grounded environment.
Even these subtle adjustments can help bring a greater sense of peace and well-being into your space. These small shifts create a feeling of safety and protection, which ultimately allows you to rest and rejuvenate better while supporting your personal energy field. (which we can all agree on!)
If you can’t shift your bed to a better position, perhaps it's time to give your space a bit of a spruce-up. Play around with plants or go vintage and get a chic room divider for a traditional finish.
Even a Feng Shui cynic can agree with the fact that your home is meant to be a sanctuary of good vibrations, and infusing some of these practices might help your home reach its full potential. (note the soft rug!)
The bedroom should be a space that reflects calm, peace, and love. By following Feng Shui guidelines for your bed, you can create a restful, harmonious, and supportive environment that enhances both your sleep and your life energy.
Should Your Bed Face a Mirror?
In Feng Shui, having your bed facing a mirror is considered unfavorable because it can create disruptive energy during sleep. Mirrors are very active in Feng Shui; they reflect and bounce energy around a space. When your bed faces a mirror, the energy is constantly moving, which can disturb your rest, making it harder for you to relax and experience deep, peaceful sleep.
Additionally, mirrors are said to double what they reflect. If you’re sleeping in front of one, it may symbolically “double” any stress or issues in your personal life. This reflective quality can contribute to a sense of restlessness or unease, especially during your night’s sleep.
When decorating with mirrors in your bedroom, the ideal Feng Shui tip would be to avoid placing mirrors directly in front of or even above your bed. If you already have one and are unable to transfer it to a different space, possibly cover it at night to improve the serenity of the space.
