Fengshui Tips: The Placement of Bed

Fengshui Tips: The Placement of Bed

风水教学：床位的摆法

Your bed is the most important fengshui piece of furniture in your entire life. It is the only piece of furniture that has the most intimate connection to your personal energy. The role of fengshui of your bed and your bedroom in relation to your health, well-being, as well as the quality of your relationship cannot be overestimated. There are few things that you have to pay attention to….

卧床是你人生中最重要的风水家具，也是唯一一件家具是你最长时间接触及连接你个人能量的家居。卧室与卧床能影响到你的健康、幸福及感情等等是不能低估的。卧床摆法有几项重点，你必须注重的……

√ Good height

√ 床位高度

To allow for a balanced fengshui energy flow under the bed you need to have your bed at a reasonable height above the floor level. The beds that have built-in storage drawers underneath is considered bad fengshui beds. Because the energy needs to circulate around your body when you sleep, which is not possible if the space underneath the bed is blocked.

为了能让风水能量运转，你的床需要有个适度的高度。市面上有推出床底抽屉以方便收纳物品的卧床，其实是风水的危机。由于对风水来说，需要借着运转才能产生好能量，床底挡着的话，变影响风水。

√ Bed should have a solid wall behind it

√ 床位靠墙

Having a solid wall behind the bed gives the occupant a feeling of safety and security. The ideal position would be to have the head of the bed against the back exterior wall of the house as this is the most secure location of all. If this is not possible the easiest cure for this is to ensure that you have a very solid headboard, the best are those that are either made of very solid wood or covered in very thick fabric.

卧床靠墙能给主人安全感，最佳的摆法是，床头的后方应靠着房子的外墙，因为这是最安全的位置。如果卧床无法靠墙的话，那么最好有个非常坚实的床头来代替墙壁。

× Mirror facing the bed

× 镜子对着卧床

You probably know that a mirror facing the bed is a big fengshui red flag. Either a mirror from a closet door or a piece of furniture or a free standing mirror, you do not want a mirror to reflect your bed.

以风水来说，镜子对着卧床是个大忌。无论是壁橱门或家具或站立镜，都是不适宜照着卧床。

× Beams,  ceiling fan or a chandelier above your bed

× 卧床上方有横梁、吊扇或吊灯

The only thing you want above your bed when you sleep is a soft canopy. This is about it. Nothing heavy, hanging, please do not hang wind chimes and bells above your head, this is bad fengshui.

唯一一样东西能挂上卧床上方的是蚊帐。卧床上方忌挂沉重的物品及风铃，这是风水的禁忌。

× Sharp angles pointing at you when you sleep

× 忌尖角指向你

Be it from the nearby nightstands, from a further away piece of furniture, such as a chest of drawers, or from a sharp wall corner, be sure to neutralize all the sharp energy aiming at your bed.

无论是床头柜、橱柜或墙角都不能直接指向你的卧床，如果无可避免的话，必须要消除这些尖锐感。

× Bed under a sloped ceiling

× 卧床在倾斜天花板的下方

When you spend time under a sloped ceiling, your energy is being heavily constricted and is under constant pressure.  As nighttime is the only time when your body can do the deep work of regenerating itself, sleeping under a sloped ceiling restricts this work, thus one’s health may suffer. Sleeping in a bed under a sloped ceiling can also contribute to emotional instability and low energy. 

当你长时间在倾斜的天花板下，你的能量将会大量的减少。夜间睡眠是让我们体内开始运作修复身体，但是当你睡在倾斜的天花板下，这些能量就会大大地减低，影响体内运作，造成健康影响。而且，也导致情绪不稳定和低能量。
