Hi Master,

How can i block Poison arrows/Sharp corners from the pillars pointing to my bed in my bedroom? Could this be the reason why i am having insomnia at night?

move away your bed if being hit directly , use soft fabrics to cover sharp edges.

Like the earlier post, if you can shift the bed to avoid the corner from cutting into your bed. If not, find ways to cover the corner, maybe some curtain decoration or if you can put some decorative partition etc to block it. In addition, you should also check if your room is affected by the afternoon sun, which can often cause a room to be too hot even after the sun has set due to the heat that is trapped. These is also often a factor which can affect a person's sleep.

Besides Feng Shui, sometimes insomnia by other factors. I heard of pillows such as Tempur type foam pillow/mattress thatcan help some people get a good night rest. I also have heard that some people can also sleep better with the aid of aroma therapy. So you may want to check out the above two see if it helps you. I know that the quality of the bed/pillow seem to have a good success on such insomnia cases, so worth looking at.

Hope that helps.

Warmest Regards

Feng Shui Audit Discussion Resource: Potential “Poison Arrow” Aimed Toward a Bed

1) What counts as a “poison arrow” (Sha Qi) in a bedroom context

In Feng Shui, a poison arrow is a harsh, fast-moving, or “cutting” line of energy created by sharp corners, narrow protrusions, or strong linear sightlines that appear to “point” at the body while resting. In modern terms, it often correlates with visual tension, perceived threat, and micro-stress that can reduce relaxation and sleep quality.

Common bedroom sources:
- Sharp furniture corners (dresser, nightstand, desk) oriented toward the bed
- Wall corners / column edges projecting toward the bed
- Door edge or door-to-bed alignment that feels like a direct “aim”
- Long, straight hallway pointing into the bedroom/bed line
- Ceiling beams, soffits, or angled ceilings “pressing” over the bed
- Open shelving corners or protruding headboard shapes
- Pointed décor (sculptures, plant stakes, antenna-like lamp arms) directed at the bed

2) How to evaluate if it’s a meaningful concern (triage)

Use these audit prompts to determine severity and priority:

A. Is it actually “aimed” at the sleeper?
- When lying in the usual sleeping position, does a corner/edge visually point at:
- the head/neck area (highest concern),
- torso/heart area,
- or legs/feet (lower concern)?
- Is the “arrow” within a close distance (e.g., within ~1–2 meters) or across the room?

B. Is it a single sharp point or repeated/clustered?
- One minor corner is often manageable.
- Multiple corners/edges converging toward the bed increases perceived intensity.

C. Does it coincide with a strong line-of-sight channel?
- Door → bed alignment
- Hallway → bed alignment
- Window line → bed (especially if bright streetlight glare creates a “beam” effect)

D. Does the occupant report issues that match the location? (Discuss gently; avoid implying certainty.)
- Difficulty falling asleep, waking suddenly, restless sleep
- Headaches/neck tension (if directed at head area)
- Feeling “on edge” in the room despite comfort upgrades

3) What to document during the audit

Capture quick, repeatable notes:
- Source: (e.g., “dresser corner,” “wall corner,” “beam,” “door edge”)
- Direction: what part of the bed/body it points to
- Distance: close/medium/far
- Time exposure: primary sleeper? both sleepers? only when door is open?
- Photo points: from the bed looking outward + from entry looking toward bed
