3 Ways To Protect Yourself When Your Bed Faces The Door

In Feng Shui, the best position for your bed is the Command Position, where you can easily see the door but don’t face it directly (here are a few recent posts about good Feng Shui for your bed and bedroom).

But what if there’s no other place to put it?

One solution for this is to add a footboard to your bed, but footboards aren’t always ideal for a number of reasons: they can make you feel trapped, there’s not enough room for one, they’re just not your style.

Since the whole idea is to give yourself a sense of safety and security while you sleep, here are three other ways to give yourself the best Feng Shui as you sleep:

1. Shield yourself by placing a chest filled with heavy blankets at the foot of the bed.
2. Place a low screen between your bed and the door to the room.
3. I especially love Noren curtains or something similar that give you a partial view of someone approaching.

More Bad Feng Shui For Kids

When I came across this photo in a magazine recently, I recoiled in horror:

Scary!!

Giant animals, aggressive colors, busy patterns: this nursery is almost certainly guaranteed to give the infant twins who sleep here nightmares. Bad Feng Shui indeed.

I wouldn’t recommend it for adults, either

What do YOU think — would you have wanted to grow up with this on your nursery walls?

A Feng Shui Bedroom Quiz (Feng Shui’s Three Important Areas, Part 3)

We’ve already looked at the Feng Shui of your Entryway and having good Feng Shui in your Kitchen, two of the most important areas in your home according to Feng Shui.

What’s the third area that creates a sense of wholeness in your home? Your bedroom, which needs to nourish you emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Here’s a Feng Shui Bedroom Quiz to help you see how bedroom measures up.

A “No” to any of these 15 questions indicates that your bedroom needs some Feng Shui TLC

1. Is there a clutter-free path from your front door all the way to your bedroom?
2. Does your bedroom door open and close completely, with no clutter behind it?
3. Is your bed in the Command Position?
4. Do you feel good about the “life history” of your mattress?
5. Is your bedroom TV-, home office-, and exercise-equipment free?
6. Do you enjoy each photo and piece of art in your bedroom?
7. Do you have enough light for reading, relaxing, getting dressed?
8. Can you “turn the lights down low”?
9. If there are mirrors in your bedroom, can you cover them?
10. Is your bedroom clutter-free?
11. Do the colors and textures in your bedroom make you feel great?
12. Do your window coverings block out unwanted light?
13. Would you be proud to let a romantic partner share your bedroom?
14. Do you feel safe and secure in your room?
15. Do you sleep well at night and wake up feeling refreshed?

Don’t forget — the more attention you lavish on your bedroom, the better you can nourish and care for yourself emotionally, spiritually and physically.

How did you do with the quiz?  Does your bedroom need attention?
