Taking the Best Position:
Commanding Position Bed Placement
Feng Shui involves many
principles for the auspicious (or favorable) positioning of your bed. To take
advantage of as many of them as you can, use common sense along with the
conditions of your individual room to make the best choices possible. There are
the five principles that comprise the Commanding Position concept, which shows
you how to achieve the most powerful bed position in Grandmaster Lin Yun's Feng Shui
School . If you see that
your bedroom doesn't meet these criteria — don't panic! Keep reading: I show
you cures you can implement to dramatically enhance sour bedroom situation.
The first Commanding Position
principle states that the position of the bed relative to the bedroom door
rates more importantly than the compass direction the bed faces. you don't need
to analyze whether your bed faces east, west, north, or south. You can rest
easy and position the bed according to the way it best relates to the other
main feature of the room — the door.
The distance from the bed to the
door
The second Commanding Position
principle holds that the bed should sit as far from the bedroom door as
possible. If the door is on the left, the best position is the far right corner
of the room; if the door is on the right, the best bed location is the far left
of the room; and if the door is the center, the best location is either the far
right or far left corner of the room. The farther your bed sits from the door,
the more control you can feel over your space and your life. You aren't
startled easily, and you have plenty of time to prepare for events as they
unfold.
The sleeper's scope of vision
The third Commanding Position
principle asserts that the bed position should allow the sleeper the widest
possible scope of the room. A diminished range of sight within the room can
restrict the sleeper's chi and his or her life vision. The larger the space in
front of your bed, the more your life expands, breathes, and improves. For this
reason, Feng Shui cautions against placing the foot of the bed against a wall,
which can block your career and cause foot and ankle problems. Also, placing
your bed directly against a side wall (with no space between the side of your
bed and the wall) can make you feel cramped, stifled, and less flexible in
life.
The visibility of the bedroom
door
The fourth Commanding Position
principle states that you should clearly see the bedroom door from the bed.
This concept means that when lying on your back in bed — that is, in the center
of the bed (if you sleep alone) or on your side of the bed (if sleeping with a
partner) — you can open your eyes and if you can immediately see the door of
the room without repositioning your body. If you have to perform gymnastics or
create new yoga positions to see who or what's coming in the door, your bed
position does not meet this principle.
Not seeing who's approaching can
keep you uncertain and on edge. Even if you think that you're accustomed to not
seeing the door, you still likely experience ongoing subconscious stress, which
can create imbalance and frustration. The possibility of always being startled
can keep you on edge, and over time, the continual tension and unrest can cause
an imbalance in the nervous system. Results can include nervous problems (think
Uncle Fester), arrhythmia, and heart palpitations. In addition, repeatedly
torquing the body to see whether someone's coming can cause neck and spinal
problems in the long run.
If your bed position doesn't
allow you to see the door and you can't move the bed, you can place a sizable
mirror opposite the bed that allows you to easily see the door. If you need to
angle the mirror to show the door, use a standing mirror angled to the
appropriate position.
The direct tine from the door
The fifth Commanding Position
principle holds that the bed should not sit in the direct line of the path of
the doorway. If your bed does sit in the direct line of the door, the chi of
the door runs directly and too powerfully up the middle of the bed. This factor
can create diseases along the midline of the body.
The farther you sleep from the
door and the more of the room you see while in bed, the more you can feel in
control of your environment and, therefore, your life. Seeing the door to your
bedroom symbolizes that you know what life is bringing and feel prepared to
deal with whatever comes. You're in command, and the results manifest
positively in many areas of your life.
When following the Commanding
Position principle, you can choose from three alternatives for good bed
placement. Just be sure, if possible, to leave enough room on the side closest
to the wall for your partner (or yourself) to get into bed. The bed angled in
the corner is the strongest choice of all; it gains support from two walls
rather than one wall. If you choose this position, Recommendation is your bed
feature a solid headboard. Make sure the corners of the bed firmly touch the
walls. You can strengthen this bed position by placing a plant and a light
behind the headboard. A real or an artificial plant works for this cure, and
the light should be in good working order but doesn't need to be on at all
times.
