The bed is where the body rests for at least 7 hours. Therefore, it has to fulfil certain requirements so that the person can have a rest and be rejuvenated for the next day. If there were not these requirements, the floor would then suffice but it does not. It has been found that the various aspects all contribute to a good sleep and hence rest.
1. Solid Headboard: A complete separation between the person and the wall. It creates a secure environment for the person. A solid headboard implies, no gaps or holes but a solid covering be it wood or a fabric covering.
Bed Headboards Only
2. Type of bed: A wooden framed bed is preferred. Wood is not only a natural product but a good insulator of heat and electro-magnetic fields (energy). Again, this provides isolation from external influences. As would be expected, a metal framed bed is not recommended.
3. Bunk bed: When you sleep, you want the normal circulation of energy flowing around the person. A structure like a bunk bed would obstruct this flow of energy. Also, the person sleeping on either the upper or lower levels would have a very narrow space above the body. The person would therefore not get good sleep regularly. This applies to a permanent base and not temporary situations like travelling in trains or ships.
4. Firm Mattress It is preferred that the person sleeps on a firm mattress. This provides support for the body and isolation from the environment. A mattress that is not firm is not recommended - like a water-bed or a mattress containing water. It is fluid or not firm.
5. A gap between the bed frame and the floor: There should be clear space between the bed frame which holds the mattress and the floor. This is to allow the energy to circulate around the room un-impeded so that there can be smooth and even flow.
6. Bedside tables: Having these tables is useful, they not only make a space between the bed and say the wall, it provides storage space and hence avoids clutter. This storage space assists in keeping the room tidy and neat. Most importantly, it creates the space that allows the energy to flow around the bed un-hindered.
7. Make up bed every day: A tidy bed when you go to sleep There is nothing worse than getting to an unmade and untidy bed. Also, a made up bed goes to help the room being neat and tidy.
8. Electrical appliances: Avoid placing electrical appliances near the head area of the bed. In general, electrical appliances like radios and mobile telephones emit electromagnetic radiation (radio waves) and these electrical energies affect the functioning of the brain. Electrical cables are also known to emit electromagnetic radiation albeit in minute quantities. Every little bit contributes to the big picture. If it can be avoided or minimise, then why not do it?
Conclusion: The bed is the place for the person to rest. Why not, make the bed the best possible environment for the person to rest. This is the place for the body to prepare for the next day.
Feng shui is a Chinese system of land management which developed with rise of Chinese civilisation, more than 40 centuries ago. It is about using the natural energies in the living environment (homes, buildings, towns and cities). This is to make the living space conducive for people to have the appropriate behaviours to attain better health, wealth and happiness.
