Introduction
There are THREE primary areas that must be checked
by a feng shui master when doing an on site audit: Main Door,
Kitchen and Bedroom. Bedroom feng shui has its importance because
the bedroom is the place where we spend one third of our lives
(8 hours a day resting and sleeping). For a bedroom to successfully
carry out its function of sleeping, intimacy and procreation which
impacts health, vitality, love and the number of children the
family is blessed with, one has to ensure that the "chi"
that affects the bedroom feng shui is positive. First and foremost,
the bedroom must itself has good forms and not affected by negative
forms before we look at the location of the bedroom and the position
of the bed. Remember that Form Feng Shui always over ride Flying
Stars and 8 Mansions.
The bedroom must have "good forms"
for good bedroom feng shui
1. The most ideal shapes for a bedroom are square and rectangle.
Other shapes such as circle, oval, triangle, trapezium, L-shape,
T-shape, I-shape and any other irregular shapes will bring about
imbalanced flow of "chi" which is unfavorable to your
fortune and luck. Remedy with Faceted
Crystal Ball.
2. No bedroom in the house should be larger than the living room.
If the bedroom is bigger than the living room, the occupants of
the bedroom will most likely suffer from loneliness, depression,
melancholy and autism which can lead to suicidal behaviour.
3. The bedroom should have exposure to gentle sunlight and well
ventilated. However, sunlight exposure should not be too strong
else it can cause insomnia. A bedroom that has no window allowing
sunlight to enter can increase its chances of "yin formation"
and attract spirits. The worst situation is when the bedroom is
located in the basement. Remedy with bright lights during daytime
and the Faceted
Crystal Ball.
4. An ideal bedroom should not be attached to a bathroom, which
is an inauspicious situation known as "hitting the emperor's
seat". The bathroom carries "chi" of the "yin"
nature. However, nowadays almost all bedrooms have an attached
bathroom for convenience. One should therefore have the bathroom
door closed at all times and the bathroom must be kept dry, clean
and hygienic at all times. Remedy with 5 Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
5. Beams across the bedroom creates poison arrows by forcing "chi"
to flow downwards. It can cause poor health, financial problems
and fatality in the long run. Remedy with Feng
Shui Flutes.
6. A bedroom that has support pillars that are not attached to
the wall is considered unfavorable. This will be like a pole piercing
through the room and will be a poison arrow to the bed irrespective
of where the bed is. Remedy with 5 Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
7. A bedroom with slanted ceiling will experience imbalanced "chi". Remedy with 5 Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
8. A bedroom that is on the second level must not be directly
above the kitchen, bathroom or garage. Remedy with 5 Element Tai Chi Brass Plate under your bed facing downwards.
9. According to form feng shui, the master bedroom should ideally
be located in the center of the house where the center of heavenly
"chi" enters the house. However, this may not be applicable to
a modern home unless the bedroom in the center has a window that
opens to an airwell or small garden with exposure to sunlight.
Unfavorable conditions of the bedroom
"door"
1. No bedroom should have its door open directly
to the kitchen which is fire in nature. It can bring about health
problems related to organs of fire element (eyes, heart, blood,
small intestine). It can also lead to hot temper and spousal problems.
2. A bedroom's door that opens directly to an external bathroom
will bring about extramarital affairs.
3. A bedroom's door that opens into an internal ensuite bathroom
will bring urological problems associated to kidney, bladder,
gynaecological issues and menstrual cramps.
4. No bedroom should have its door open directly to the maindoor
of the house as this can cause scandals, poor reputation and defamation
issues to the occupants of the bedroom.
5. A bedroom door that faces another bedroom door is considered
as poor feng shui, especially if the distance between the two
doors are to close to each other. This will lead to children growing
up to become rebellious.
6. A bedroom door should not open to any poison arrows or sharp
edges from both inside or outside the door.
7. A bedroom door should not open to a mirror from the outside. This will cause chaos and distrust among family members.
For situations 1-7: Remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
Favorable and unfavorable positions of
the "bed"
Bed positioning is extremely important in
determining the feng shui of the bedroom. The most favorable position
is to put the bed diagonally from the door of the bedroom, with
the headboard of the bed placed against a wall or solid yin feature
(such as big wooden piece, cupboards and cabinets). It is unwise to compromise this position even
if it is not tapping to your good direction. The following
four images show ideal positions of the bed.
The head board of the bed must never be placed
against a window, a low backing or an empty space. An example of
an unfavorable condition is when the bed is placed in the center
of the bedroom without any backing at all.
In many cases, some practitioners will tap
to their good directions by positioning their bed at an angle against
a corner as shown in the image below. Some feng shui masters claim
that this position is alright because it is being supported by not
only one wall, but two walls. However, some more rigid masters will
forbid this position and consider the head to be exposing to the
"shar chi" from the angle of the two walls. Therefore,
if you choose this position, it is safer to install counter measure
to be on the safe side.
The following images show the unfavorable
positions of a bed relative to the door of the bedroom:
1. The foot of the bed facing the door.
2. The door facing the side of the bed.
3. The door on the same wall with the headboard of the bed.
4. The door facing the headboard of the bed.
For situations 1-4: Remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
The headboard of the bed or any part of the
bed must not share the same wall with the bathroom. This can lead to health issues (related
to urological problems). Remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
The headboard of the bed or any part of the
bed must not share the same wall with the kitchen. This can lead
to impulsiveness, bad temper and restlessness. Besides, it will
bring health issues related to the heart, eyes, skin and blood. Remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
The door of the insuite bathroom must also
not face any part of the bed. This can lead to health issues (related
to urological problems) and extramarital affairs. Remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
Some furnishings and appliances can cause
poor bedroom feng shui
1. One must sleep on a bed and never on the
floor. Ask yourself this question, "Which king or emperor sleeps
on the floor?"
2. No part of the bed should be facing a mirror or television. This
will lead to negative impact on peace of mind. Remedy with Faceted
Crystal Ball right in front of your TV or mirror or remedy with
5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate on your bed facing them.
3. There should not be a lamp, chandelier and ceiling fan directly
above the bed. This will lead to life threats and dangers.
4. Be wary of furniture pieces that exert "shar chi" (poison arrows)
towards any part of your bed such sharp edges, pointed objects or
anything that replicates the arrow, blade or knife. Remedy with
Faceted Crystal
Ball right in front of the objects or remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate on your bed facing them.
5. An open concept bathtub, jacuzzi, shower area and toilet bowl
in the bedroom is bad feng shui. Although some may think they are
cool when un-enclosed, but these are not auspicious exhibits in
the bedroom. Remedy with 5
Element Tai Chi Brass Plate.
6. Plants, no matter how small they are should never be placed in
the bedroom.
7. Aquariums or any water features are not suitable to be displayed
in the bedroom.
8. No part of the head board, bed frame or the mattress should suggest
splitting or separating of couples. For example, a split mattress
or a head board design that has a splitting line as its design can
be extremely toxic for relationships.
9. Avoid having interior designs that are inauspicious in shapes,
mimic poisonous animals or directly represents fierce beasts. For
example, a ceiling feature that replicates a centipede can bring
about "toxic relationships".

a centipede

Flying Stars in the bedroom must be auspicious
Always remember that "Flying Stars"
always over ride "8 Mansions" when doing the feng shui
of the house. In general, bedrooms must be located in sectors where
there are auspicious Flying Stars according to the "natal chart".
And one must also not forget to countermeasure the "annual"
Flying Stars afflictions annually.
Example of a "natal chart"
of a Period 8 House that is facing SW1
|
A natal chart has nine sectors. Each sector
has the Mountain Star (Sitting Star), Water Star (Facing Star) and
the Period Star (Earth Base Star) as shown in the image above. You
may find your home's natal chart here.
As a rule of thumb, there are several important points of consideration
when selecting a bedroom:
1. It is preferable for bedrooms to have neautral or auspicous Water Star.
2. Rooms with Mountain and Water Star #2 or #5 should never be used
as bedrooms. Remedy with 3 Brothers 6 Emperor Coins.
3. Rooms with Period Star #2 and #5 should never be used unless
the occupant's "Guardian Star" are compatible. In Flying
Stars feng shui, each person is said to be born under the guardianship
of a star of the Nine Palaces and its element. When the "Guardian
Star" and its element are nourished, we will enjoy good health
and fortune. When the "Guardian Star" and its element
is weakened, we will be plaqued by illness and misfortune. It is
beyond the scope of this article to teach this philosophy. Therefore,
it is easier to not consider any bedroom with Period Star #2 or
#5.
4. Combinations of fire hazards #2-#7 and #9-#7 should not be used
as bedrooms at all. Remedy with 9
Dragons Bowl filled with water.
5. Combination of severe illness #7-#9 should not be used as bedrooms
at all. Remedy with 9
Dragons Bowl filled with water.
6. Combination of illness for the eldest person #6-#9 should be
avoided for the elderly. However, younger people can use this as
the bedroom. Remedy with 9
Dragons Bowl filled with water.
7. Combination of dispute #2-#3 and #3-#2 should not be used as
bedrooms to prevent quarrels. Remedy with Magical
Geometry.
If you cannot avoid any of the flying star situation above, you
can always countermeasure the flying star problems easily with appropriate
flying star cures recommended above.
You can further refine the selection of bedroom by matching the
occupant's "Guardian Star" element with the Period Star of the bedroom.
Going into this further step can sometimes be difficult after prioritizing
on "good forms" and "combination of flying stars".
You must remember that not everyone has the luxury to build a house
from skretch and perfection is hard to come by. So, you should not
be too hung up over not being able to have a prefect bedroom.
Evaluating a bedroom using 8 Mansions
Considered to be of lowest priority in feng
shui, one can also consider locating the bedroom in one of the four
good sectors in a house according to the House Kua. According to
8 Mansions, there are 8 types of houses depending on the "facing
direction" of the house. Each type of house will have 4 good
sectors and four bad sectors as shown in the table below.

You can further refine the benefits of having
a bedroom in a good sector (either according to Flying Stars or
House Kua or both) by positioning your bed to tap to a good personal
direction according to your kua number.
This is the method where you use the good sector of the house and
your personal good directions together in tandem and in harmony.
