Dear Anon, If I get what you mentioned correctly, this is a `coffin position'. Yes, you can hang a curtain from the ceiling. So long as it covers the bed (leg) portion this is acceptable. You need to block it up to the level where you sleep on the bed. Further down e.g. the legs of the bed, this is not necessary. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Josephine, Please see below: I will be moving to a new I am concerned 1) The 1.1 Does your LEGs face the door? There is no major issue if part of the bed faces the bedroom door. But, where possible, one's legs should avoid facing the bedroom door. 1.2 As this is known as the inauspicious `coffin' position. 1.3 Frankly, the only remedies are: - a. (silly to say this: But can the bed be moved to another location? If Para 1.1 is taken into consideration) - b. close the bedroom door when sleeping - c. place a low linen cabinet at the foot of the bed. - d. (Last resort) have a `curtain' like structure e.g. beading screen at the bedroom door. 2) The Th…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: my master bedroom bed is in same alignment of my bedroom door. however, the bed is facing the full glass window. is this okay? When you mentioned the bed is in the same alignment of the main door, do you mean that it is anchored to the wall where the main door is located?This means the window is opposite the bed. If I got the above correct, then ideally, the best placement is where you seleep, you can see the door. The purpose is so that if anyone enters, you will know or be aware of it. In the past, this is especially so that one can take precaution especially if it is a thief entering. However, if there is no other way to place the bed, …

Dear Elena, Oops! I am sleeping on one myself! Yes, this is a very common type of design! Many of us (or the likes of us) have slept on such a bed / bed-head frame... for many years! Why not... let's start burning all those books that says that it's bad! Cheers! Cecil Elena Oldham wrote: It is a very popular style for the bed head board to be in the form of a half circle or "hill" I call it. It is low on the sides and rises up in the middle. After the fact, I read in one of the books that it is bad to have a head board in the shape that resembles the chinese coffin. Is this true and can any remedy be applied?

1. In my opinion; other than the colour and colour-tones in your illustration; 2. No. THREE would have the least "adverse" comments. 3. As I had mentioned previously, often in many situations; it has more to do with people's taste and how much adverse comments (if any). 4. Technically, no. will often not have any adverse comments. 5. The most subjective would therefore be no. ONE. 6. Again, there is no right or wrong answers, here.

These are some considerations: 1. Both toilet directly above bed-head and kitchen below bed are considered as "commonsense" Feng Shui. 2. Why? 2.1. Fire rise-upwards. And there are concerns of a firebreaking out in the kitchen and fire rising towards the masterbedroom (bed area)= kinda of like being cooked. 2.2. What is worse if the piping is directly above the bed. If it does leak... think aboutwhat kind of juice will flow downwards towards the bed.

Dear Elena, The `worst' position is the `coffin' position where the bed faces the door directly. Where the legs or head face the bedroom door. Other than this, it is natural for part of the bed to be seen from the door. It "happens" everywhere so this is not a real issue. Or too minute to worry about. It is best to focus on real issues:) Those that can give `good' returns. Such as good Shapes and Form. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, If you are applying the Flying Star, do check where the sickness star is located also. Under the Eight House theory, there is really not much one can do other than sleep further away from the death sector (where possible). An optional factor is to use Pillars of Destiny i.e. element strength to fine tune your situation. For example, this would depend on your element and its strength and if you have a partner, to look at both the relationship and one way is to use colours to help balance the situation. It can be the wall colours, the bedsheet or furniture. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, This has more to with commonsense than feng shui. For example, here one would certainly wish that they stay in a concrete reinforce-cement home. This is because when the washing machine spins it does shake. If one house is made of wooden planks or thin gypsum wooden walls, then sometimes the washing machine may vibrate and this vibration can be felt at the opposite wall plus the noise can be heard. So the only solution is try to place the washing machine too close to the wall. Not much else you can do unless there is space elsewhere that you can relocate your washing machine. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hello Master Lee, We are moving into a new home in June and also starting new careers - both me and my husband. Both ourKua no. are 4 Our main bedroom lies in the eastern section of the housewith the rooms doorwaynorth. On the nothern wall of the room there are built in cupboards and on the east and southern walls windows - That leaves me with the west wall to place my bed. Yet the door opens right onto the bed! Should I rather place the bed on the eastern wall andhang a crystal, or keep the window closed with curtains? I have two rooms in the SW section which I want to change into a daycare for children - yet all flying star matters on the internet advise against it?…

Hi Cecil, I missed out one possible position which is also not a good choice ie the bed with head pointing unfavourable direction for me AND the door will "cut" into the bed too. Please advise if there is a cure if all these positions are no good cos there isn't much I can do now. BTW, the next room is not any much better cos the location is still not my good direction, The overall of the house is that only the main door and window is ok for me, the rest are not lousy direction/locations. The good ones are located in the kitchen & toilets. It's a small 3 room flat. Thank you, really appreciate cos I am beginning to panick. Tammie

Dear Tammie, Please see below:- Where possible, try to `anchor' the bed to a wall. For example, the wall next to the window. It can still face the window. This is a favourable or acceptable position: since usually, the opposite side of the window is the bedroom door. It is favourable in such a situation because, the head in this case (usually) in such situations, the person's head faces the bedroom door or can see who's coming in. I will reply separately to your most recent question. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I have a similar problem. My best direction is east (3), but there is not really enough room in the bedroom to do this (leaves only about 15 inches to walk at the foot of the bed). Room is n-s longest, but window is on north, where head of bed would go; master bath is on south wall; built in closet on west wall. How do I remedy north head of bed? Or should I just remedy the small walking space at the foot of the bed, with head of the bed east instead?

Dear Rosie, Where possible, one should always consider the priority of placing the bed based on good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. I recap on the best positions are preferably : 1. The bed should be (try) to be against a solid wall. 2. If possible, it should be on the opposite wall from the bedroom door. Or where best, the bed should not be on the same wall as the bed. 3. Para one is a better position than placing the bed with the head rest against a window. 4. If there is a window on the side of the bed; preferable that one leaves a gap between the bed and the window. 5. It is best still to position the head of the bed against a solid wall. But if you want to sleep below a…

Dear Suzhen, As the information on your son is limited, perhaps, you can do an initial Eight House Template for your son. Follow the steps under this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Alternatively, go to www.geomancy-online.com to create his Free computerized Eight House Chart. What you can do here is to see if the room he sleeps in is compatible to him.

Dear ed Gin, In this case, either (a) or (b) which you have mentioned are both acceptable. Like the saying goes, if you cannot see the problem, then it no longer becomes an issue. Option (b) would be probably better if your bedroom is large enough to allow for the a soft curtain to there without creating too much inconvience especially making it difficult to navigate around the room. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hello Fengshui Master, Our master bedroom needs help.Our bed is placed between two pillars on either sides of the bed and there is no way that I can move the bed anywhere in the room as : 1) One wall has huge windows facing the road. 2) Second wall has an inbuilt wardrode with sliding glass doors. 3) Third wall hasthe door entering into the bedroom. The fourth wall is the only one which has a solid wall and two pillars with space just enough for the bed to be placed. There is no space outside of the pillars. My bed is sandwiched between these two pillars for the last 3 and half years. I have restless & sleepless nights, bad dreams waking me up in the middle of the n…

These are some considerations: 1. Please that note that generally, what you had attached for the layout or placement of the bed-head in the master bedroom is logical. 1.1. This would often be the position, when one walks into an empty room and visualise where we would "have to place the bed-head" irregardless of whether it fits the eight house theory (if any). 2. Thus, this is a fine example of: Shapes and Forms prevail over other matters. 3. Why "try to break a leg or arm" or place a square peg into a round hole? 4. Thus in my opinion, just go with THE FLOW.... 5. One must not forget... Feng Shui is one thing. Another consideration is human or man luck = feel good or r…

Dear Joan, Yes, the thick headboard/cushion sounds much better than the existing setup. So by all means go for it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Joan, In the Feng Shui point of view, this is considered inasupicious. Especially, if one sleeps "sandwiched" between two concrete columns or beams: In particularit depends on the size of the beams as well as the distance between it from the bed. And also, the shape of the beam. If the beam is squarish or rectangular in shape, there is an added "sha qi" or poison arrow aimed towards the bed. In the case of the wooden cabinet, it would also depend on one's comfort level. For example, whenever you sleep on the bed, do you feel comfortable? Can sleep properly or not. Some of this aspect also has to do with the condition on one's mind.

Dear Joan, In my opinion, this is although not the best position, but it is (based on your earlier description) may seem to be a better position. The only thing is that one may perhaps have to get used to it. However, some of us get used to it, but should you feel uncomfortable, then, may have to revert back to the old. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Quote: Thank you very much for your reply, but it leads me to another question while we are sleeping we always keep our door closed so the cats cannot get in so being that we have it closed does it change the meaning when the foot of the bed is facing the door???
