How to properly position the bed in the bedroom?

The correct positioning of the bed in the bedroom is a much more serious question than anyone might think. A well-chosen place contributes to a sound and restful sleep, a favorable distribution of the energy of the apartment, the preservation of high efficiency and a surge of vitality.

According to the principles of the Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, each room is a projection of certain energy fields that affect the well-being of the apartment owners in different ways. One of the main tasks of this philosophy is to achieve maximum compatibility and harmony of the surrounding space and humans.

Adherents and followers of feng shui are confident that the right place for the sleeping bed helps to restore harmony in marital relations., increases the likelihood of conception in childless couples and facilitates an easy pregnancy.

So, in order to place the bed in the "right" place, you need to take into account a number of important points.

• Harmony. To make sleep more comfortable, it is necessary to remove too bright lighting from the room, and adjust the remaining lighting devices so that all objects in the bedroom are evenly illuminated by them.You should not put the bed in a dark corner, since, according to the postulates of Chinese teaching, negative energy collects in unlit places, which puts pressure on a person and takes away his strength.
• Correspondence. The size of the bed should be compatible with the area of ​​the bedroom and other furnishings. It is not allowed to have massive furniture in the bedroom that is larger than the bed. Otherwise, a large object will distort the energy space and will not allow energy flows to be harmoniously distributed throughout the room. This will lead to the fact that the energy center, which the bed should be, will shift to a larger piece of furniture, and the flow of flows will not occur correctly.
• Orderliness. Any bed should be equipped with high legs, necessary for free circulation of Chi energy. For this reason, you cannot store various things under the bed, especially large boxes and bed linen. In addition, furniture in the bedroom should be soft and not have sharp corners. The combination of these two factors, according to Feng Shui followers, will protect the sleeping place from the accumulation of negative energy and ensure normal sleep.
• Protection. According to Feng Shui teachings, the bed should be made of natural wood and have a solid base. This is due to the property of wood to accumulate positive energy and charge the owner with it during sleep.

The next important point is the location of the bed, taking into account the cardinal points. On this occasion in philosophy there is a conviction that in order to restore vitality it is necessary to lie down with your head to the east, to improve health - to the south, to attract wealth - to the west, and for a surge of positive energy - to the north.

In addition, the southwest direction promises happiness in family relationships, the southeast predicts good luck in all endeavors, the northeast restores mental strength, the northwest helps to open up new opportunities.

As Feng Shui says, the sleeping bed should not be in front of the mirrors, otherwise the person sleeping on it risks falling into the "corridor" of negative energy, which is often accumulated by mirror surfaces. For the same reason, it is not recommended to place televisions and computer monitors in the immediate vicinity of the bed, since they are emitters of negative energy and cause significant harm to the human biofield.

And also before going to bed, it is recommended to ventilate the bedroom, pursuing at the same time two goals at once: the inflow of fresh air is very useful for health, and with new air masses the life-giving energy of Chi enters the room.

As for the premises itself, the adherents of the doctrine have their own point of view on this matter. It is highly recommended to choose a room in the shape of a square or as close to it as possible for the bedroom. This is because in Chinese philosophy, a square denotes the ideal shape or sign of the earth.

If a room is selected, it is recommended to survey it with a compass and a pakua., as well as determine the most favorable places for installing the bed.

It is necessary to remove from the walls paintings depicting grinning animals, stuffed animals and portraits of close relatives. This moment is very important when arranging a sleeping place, since no one should look at a sleeping person.

In addition, you need to remove or move into the living room souvenirs and interior items with sharp elements - the so-called "piercing arrows". According to feng shui, pointed forms damage the human biofield, and also work as antennas and attract negative energy.

Another important condition when choosing a place for a bed is the absence of aquariums and home fountains in the immediate vicinity of it. It is better to install such items in living rooms, where they will have a calming effect on others and attract wealth to the house. If the water elements are located near the bed, then they can provoke fluidity and instability in family relationships, which can lead to discord between spouses.

To enhance the impact of the location of the bed on the well-being of its owner, it is recommended to often wipe the corners of the room and the floor under the bed with a solution of salt, and then burn a branch of wormwood or other incense. The ritual is performed with wide open windows about an hour before going to bed. This helps clear energy debris from the bedroom that is constantly being generated in any room where people are.

And also Feng Shui does not advise placing a lamp or sconce directly above the headboard. It is better to move the lighting fixture to the side or mount a ceiling light. Table lamps can be placed on bedside tables.

If the layout of the apartment does not allow you to arrange the bed according to Feng Shui, and all the rooms do not form a square in aggregate, then you can use auxiliary accessories and place talismans of certain colors around the bed... For example, green items represent good health, while yellow and brown items represent the sustainability of family relationships.

You can also use the "four animals" technique, placing a dragon figurine to the left of the sleeping bed, a tiger figurine to the right, a picture with a red bird depicted on it at the foot, and an image of a turtle at the head.

Besides, it should be remembered that bedside tables and other interior items are recommended to be installed in pairs, and when placing two children's beds, they must be separated by placing a low table or chest of drawers between them. To harmonize relations with a partner, it is recommended to place the bed with the headboard against the wall, and in order to encourage the child to study, the bed is moved with one side close to the wall.

Most modern layouts allow you to put the bed in the right place and does not force the owners to sacrifice comfort in the name of observing all the placement rules. However, for this, the area of ​​the bedroom must be at least 15 squares, which the inhabitants of the old housing stock, of course, cannot boast of. During the years of active urban development by the so-called "Khrushchevs", the state pursued only one goal - as soon as possible to resettle citizens from communal apartments and wooden barracks into separate comfortable housing.

At that time, no one really thought about the size and shape of the rooms, and therefore the installation of a bed in a small quadrature today remains very relevant for many. It is especially difficult to arrange a double bed in a narrow bedroom, the width of which does not allow placing it with the headboard against a long wall.

Often, the passage between the opposite wall and the footboard is less than 70 cm, necessary for comfortable movement around the room. In such cases, the owners set the bed with its side close to the wall, which is why one of the spouses is not able to get out of bed on their side. But for a single bed, this option is quite acceptable and is the classic installation method.

When choosing a place for a sleeping bed, it is necessary to be guided by common sense, therefore, it is necessary to install the bed not only according to the direction of energy flows, but also take into account a number of other important factors. The ideal option for the location of the bed is to install it with the headboard against a blank wall that has no windows or doorways. In this case, both the window and the door will be located on the sides of the sleeping bed or on one of the sides, depending on the layout.

If the area of ​​the bedroom allows, and the entrance to it is opposite the window, then you can put the bed diagonally - with the headboard in the corner of the window wall. Such an arrangement, on the one hand, will not allow the sun to "hit in the eyes" in the morning, and on the other hand, it will make it possible to keep the door in sight. The latter circumstance is especially important, since, not seeing the door, a person feels vulnerable, feels psychological discomfort and feels a sense of insecurity.

When choosing a place for a double bed, it is advisable to provide free access to the sleeping place for both spouses. Otherwise, one of them, sleeping against the wall, will feel pinched, constantly disturb the other when trying to get out of bed. And you should also pay attention to the location and power of the air conditioner, in the area of ​​which, under no circumstances, it is necessary to place a bed. Otherwise, you can earn serious health problems, since in a dream a person becomes most vulnerable to drafts.

If the bedroom in the apartment is so tiny that it cannot normally accommodate all the furniture, then it is recommended to use alternative sleeping options, for example, a loft bed or a folding bed. With noticeable differences in floor heights, the headboard should be placed on a high part. Sloped floors are often used by cottages and old houses, in which, due to soil vibrations, the foundation moves.

When choosing a place for a bed, you can also use the old method with pets. Cats are especially sensitive to the energy of this or that place, and they never settle down on the site with the circulation of negative energies.

When choosing a place for a bed, it is important to avoid miscalculations that can lead to the fact that sleeping on it becomes difficult and restless. Below are the most common mistakes, knowledge of which will help to avoid many troubles.

You can not place the bed in front of large and emotional paintings, except those that are allowed feng shui. This is especially true of reproductions of famous artists, many of whom carry deep meaning and are suggestive.

If you believe superstition, then it is undesirable to position the sleeping bed so that the person lies with their feet to the door.

It is undesirable to install the bed with the headboard against the wall on which the door is located. This can cause psychological discomfort in a person, and the knock on the closing door will interfere with his rest.

You cannot use two separate mattresses on a double bed. There is a possibility that they will disperse, and such a division of the sleeping bed can negatively affect the marital relationship. Better to get one large mattress and not tempt fate.

You should not place the bed under the window with the side to the window for the reasons:

• sleeping under drafts is very dangerous;
• heating radiators are usually located under the window, which also do not add comfort to a sleeping person.

They do not put the bed in the center of the bedroom, since the sleeping place must be tied to one of the walls. And although such an environment has recently become fashionable, it does not allow a person to feel safe and completely relax. The bed, torn from the "shores", evokes the feeling of a raft in the middle of the ocean, and not a cozy and comfortable sleeping bed. It is not recommended to install the bed opposite the door leading to a narrow and long corridor.

As mentioned above, there should not be any mirror surfaces opposite the sleeping bed., the same applies equally to the ceiling. Even glossy models of ceiling coverings in the bedroom are unacceptable, and there can be no talk of a mirrored ceiling. This is due to the fact that the mirror surface tends to reflect negative streams and direct them away from itself.

Another important rule for installing a bed is a ban on its placement along walls adjacent to kitchens, bathrooms and toilets... The work of kitchen equipment, the hum of water and sewer pipes greatly interfere with vacationers.

In addition, these places have the status of "wet zones", that is, leaks and accidents can occur along the entire access riser in these areas. When a pipe breaks in an apartment from above, the walls and ceiling of the "wet zones" are the first to suffer. From there, moisture quickly seeps through the partition and the bed finds itself in the epicenter of flooding.

It is also not recommended to install the bed with the foot to the wall.... This is perhaps the most unfortunate option of all possible, since the person's head will be in an open zone of insecurity, and when awakening, his gaze will rest against the wall.

In no case should the bed be placed under cabinets and bookshelves. Overhanging objects will exert psychological pressure on a person, and there is always a risk of collapse of hinged structures. It is still not recommended to place the bed under skylights, sloped roofs and stairs.

In one-room apartments, parents very often separate the child's sleeping place with a wardrobe, trying to create something like his own room for him. From an energetic point of view, this arrangement of furniture does not have a very good effect on the sleeper. According to the teachings of feng shui, the closet blocks the path of energy and makes it refract.

In addition, in such "closets" natural air circulation is disturbed, it stagnates and accumulates dust particles, which in the future can lead to allergic reactions, psychosomatic suffocation and asthmatic attacks.

The bed should not be installed near radiators, fireplaces and other heating devices. Not only will it be difficult to sleep in such conditions, but also the wooden structural elements will begin to dry out and creak.
