    Episode 300: How to Place Your Bed for Good Feng Shui

    We’ve talked a lot on this podcast about the bed and it’s symbolism in feng shui. There’s a reason for that — if we’re lucky, we’ll spend a third of our life in bed and from a feng shui perspective, it’s one of the simplest and most effective places to start when realigning the qi of our homes. From clearing space around your bed to the grounding stability of a headboard, proper bed placement is both an easy and profound way to begin creating a home in which the qi can flow freely to offer inspiration and peace. For our 300th (!!!) episode we are taking the longview on proper bed placement.

    What we talk about in this episode:

    -The command position

    -Why we always want to make sure that our feet are not facing the door when in bed

    -Creating space on both sides of the bed to allow a balance of yin and yang

    -Which walls to place your bed against and which to avoid

    and much more!
