Should we all sleep with our head towards North direction?

Many scholars indicate placing the bed in alignment with the Earth’s magnetic field, where the head of the bed would face North and the feet would face South, so that the person would receive the energies that circulate through the Earth’s poles.

This is definitely the most common myth I hear, and the North is certainly a great direction, but not for all us.

Did you know that, according to Feng Shui, the position of our bed can interfere with the quality of our sleep and consequently of our life? A badly positioned bed can cause us to have difficulty sleeping, insomnia, it can drain our energy and ultimately can attract difficulties in life.

Here are the years that indicate if we benefit with North direction in general ( remember if you are born in January until 4 February you are still in the previous year for Chinese calendar):

  • 1963;1969;1970;
  • 1972; 1978;1979;
  • 1981;1987;1988;
  • 1990; 1996;1997;
  • 1999; 2005; 2006;
  • 2008;2014; 2015;

A messy desk, it’s not a good Feng Shui, of course, while we are working we can certainly have materials around us, but when we finish we should keep it clean and clear.

A desk in disorder can bring a confusing state of mind as well as feeling overwhelmed, with no strength or will to work.

Also pay attention to some important details:

  • Any pointed corner around can create a bad energy flow;

  • Place flowers or a plant near the computer;
  • Benefit from natural light placing the desk near a window;
  • Don’t sit with your back to a door;
  • Avoid placing the desk directly in front of the door;
  • Have a comfortable chair and adjust your sitting in a proper position while at the computer.
  • For powerful results ask for professional help and place yourself towards one of your best directions.

Thousands of years ago, with the development of the compass, new concepts emerge while observing the sun movement and hearths electromagnetic field, such as the rising sun at East, setting sun at West, North and South, and others.

In this particular way of analysis of a house, we discover in which part of the home we feel more active or more calm, more focused or more creative, more relaxed, etc.

As Medicine and doctors study human body and its cures for diseases , Feng Shui experts study the house and its cures for harmonizing energy.

We may live years and years in the same house and don’t know where North and South is, so the Ba Gua method coming from the 8 Directions School, can tell us precisely where all directions are located and orientated inside homes, but also so much more information.

Learning about our home directions can help us enable or disable the energy inside, making it work in our behalf and not against us.
