Who doesn’t want to be well-heeled? Well, feng shui can help. Here’s some advice: focus on certain active directions so that the energised aura helps you rake in the moolah!
One of these active directions is known as the command position. Many people believe this to be in the bedroom. Actually, the command position dictates the best feng shui position and this doesn’t only include the bedroom; it may involve business rooms such as, your office or the building in which you work, for that matter.
Line of sight
According to feng shui guidelines, you should be able to see the door directly from your bed, as this will help you overcome domestic hurdles and your life will remain largely stress free.

The best command position is in that part of the room that is diagonally farthest from the entrance of the room. By being far away from the door, you are not affected by the strong chi that immediately enters your room. Instead, you are benefitted from positive energy. You should also have a strong wall behind you to support a good command position. It is believed that with good feng shui, you have good command of the space and you get more energy to face humdrum problems of life.
Bed place
A positive environment with more positive energy is created when you place your bed in line with the entrance to your room. The best position can actually lighten stress and even various health ailments. Reposition your bed according to feng shui to receive positive energy and its benefits.
Small spaces
Space limitations in small homes can make it difficult to follow feng shui. But it is very important that you don’t place the bed on the same wall as the kitchen, bathroom, shower or any other “active” items. Decorate your room so that you can rearrange feng shui items according to the command position.
Out with work
The command position for the bed is of crucial importance because of the intrusion of a television or a computer in your bedroom. According to the feng shui command position, you should not have your office in the bedroom. So, remove those computers and replace them with the best feng shui position. Negative energy is created when you try to rest and work in the same area. You can place both these things in your bedroom only if you are wealthy enough to have a big room. Only then does feng shui allow you to have your television and computer there.
What to avoid
There might be various other problems that you need to avoid, such as overhead beams, sharp angles and an overhead fan fixed to a low ceiling. These things are not desirable in your home at all. You should also keep in mind what is going on in neighbouring rooms and outside the building. For example, the command position that seems to be perfect is actually not perfect if your bedroom shares a wall with a kitchen or bathroom in an adjacent flat.
Noise pollution
Another example would be a bedroom in the front of a house very close to the road. Traffic noises will make you lose your night’s sleep and has the potential to drive you nuts. In this case, repositioning your bed is the best possible thing you can do. The more you get to know about your space, the more will be the ways in which you can use feng shui in your home. Why wait? Look for your best command position, activate the energies and sit back to enjoy the benefits.
