1. The Commanding Position: Your Key to Security and Support

This is the most important rule in bedroom Feng Shui. Your bed should be in what is called the "commanding position." This means:

Direct Line of Sight: When lying in bed, you should have a clear, unobstructed view of the door without being directly in line with it.

Solid Wall Support: The head of your bed must be placed against a solid wall. This provides sturdy "support" in your life, symbolizing stability and security. Avoid placing the bed under a window, as this leads to a weak sense of support and can disrupt your personal energy field.

Why it works: This position subconsciously makes you feel safe and in command of your life, allowing your nervous system to fully relax because you can see opportunities (the door) coming without feeling exposed.

2. Avoid Direct Alignment with the Door

The worst position for a bed is directly in line with the door, especially if your feet are pointing straight out the door upon waking. This is known as the "coffin position" in Feng Shui, as it mimics how a body is carried out. This alignment allows energy to rush in and pull your vitality straight out, leading to restless sleep and low energy.

The Fix: Simply angle your bed so it is diagonal from the door, or ensure you are not lying with your feet pointing directly at it.

3. Create Balance with Nightstands

For harmonious energy, always have a nightstand or small table on both sides of the bed. This practice, whether you sleep alone or with a partner, promotes balance and equality in your life. It ensures that the energy flow is stable and symmetrical around you as you sleep.

4. What About the Foot of the Bed?

Be mindful of what is directly facing the foot of your bed. A sharp corner pointing at you, a large mirror reflecting the bed, or even a busy piece of art can create "Sha Qi" or attacking energy. This subconsciously puts you on edge, preventing deep, restorative sleep. Opt for soft, rounded lines and calming imagery instead.
