The position of the bed according to Feng Shui
Feng Shui literally means Veto and Water, and is based on the concept of continuous change by letting energy flow through the rooms in which you live.
Regarding the positioning of the bed in the room, Feng Shui follows the theory of the chain of influences, from big to small, from yang to yin, based on this the position of the room in relation to the entrance door is very important.
If the position is linear, the front door before the bedroom, then the position of the bed in the room is less important, if on the contrary this is not the case then the positioning of the bed needs to be carefully considered.
In Feng Shui there are two positions, the yang position where daily activities such as cooking or working are carried out and where we are exposed to light and noise. While the yin location is where we rest and must be sheltered.
Having said this, it is necessary to look for the safest and most stable place in the room where to place the bed, avoiding openings behind and in line with the door, so the bed should never be placed under the window or in front of the entrance door.
