Feng Shui Fun

Yesterday, I was restless. I needed a change. Pronto!

So I turned my bedroom upside down once again. Ever since I moved here, 2 years ago, I have not been satisfied with the position of the bed. I always wake up during the night and the fact that I keep staring at the door drives me nuts.

Now I'm almost happy. I've tried following some Feng Shui rules, so I got distracted reading about that on the internet. Leaving the whole house in a state of unruly mess. When I need a change, I mean it! Apparently, according to Feng Shui, your bed is not supposed to be aligned with the door as it represents the dead leaving the house feet first, therefore taking a lot of your energy. You bed cannot be under a window and also needs a headboard (the latter we don't have), both for security. The bed cannot be positioned so that a mirror is reflecting you. This is like a third person coming into your relationship. Which means problems.

The room makes all of these options impossible to change, because we have a huge closet with mirrordoors, and either a window or door on impossible sides of the room. Now I've shoved the bed next under the window, somewhat awkward. The bed is half reflected by the mirrordoors, but you can only see my legs and the best thing is: I'm not looking into the doorway anymore.
Let's see how this works out.

While I read the Feng Shui rules, I also learned about no mirrors in your entrance door, at least not when it's directly opposite the front door. A mirror pushes back the new and positive energies that need to flow into your home. Which we had...
So, change the hallway also. The mirror now hangs into the living room and the hallway is made into a little Japanese shrine. It's a small but effective difference. Later, when I turned to read my email, I had good news from an excisting client, and an inquery from a potentially new client. Maybe it really does work?
