Why Beds Matter in Feng Shui
Considering how much of your life is spent in your bed, don’t you think it is time to create a comfortable nest that invites the right kind of positive energy into your life? The suggested guidelines of bed placement in feng shui will help you decide what kind of energy you are longing for and how to align your bed to receive a steady flow of that energy.
If your life has a lot of frustration issues, lack of motivation, or relationship troubles then the problem may simply be your current bed location. Bed direction in feng shui is a simple and positive way to rid your life of the dead weight that may be currently plaguing you.
Before learning about the many different feng shui bed positions, consider your mattress. How old is it? Feng shui suggests that you get a new mattress every 7-8 years or after any significant illness or relationship drama. Mattresses are sponges of your emotions and will hold your negative thoughts and stresses in them far past the point in which you should have recovered already. Think about every night that you crawl on top of your same saturated sponge of distress, and how that allows old thoughts and heavy feelings of despair to reenter your body.
If you are unable to buy a new mattress right away, put your current one in direct sunlight for 8 hours while you circle sandalwood incense into the surrounding air. You should even do a salt burning session in your empty bedroom before placing the mattress back inside.
It is time to consider the many different bed locations having to do with feng shui and how they relate to your life. Choose the best feng shui bed and window location that will allow for free flowing positive energy. Never put the headboard of your bed under a window. This will cause you to have restless sleep and the aspect of support in your life will feel as though it is lacking.
Avoid placing your bed in the path of the door and window to not split or stop the natural flow of energy between the two. Side windows are the best. Always stay away from putting your bed next to a door because that will not give you a straight view of potential visitors. Also, do not let your bed be in a direct line with the door because that could drain you or make it easy for the bustling hallway to clutter your mind.
Your headboard should ideally be of solid wood because of the sense of stability the wood provides. Following these general guidelines ensures the movement of spiritual energies, which bring health and harmony into your life.
