Hi again - Will you shiver with fright? Here is another haunted Feng Shui principle to get stuck in your head!
With over 25 years in the real estate world, I've stumbled upon all sorts of interior decorating do's and don'ts. But for this blog post, we will dive into the mysterious realm of Feng Shui and its peculiar concept - the 'Coffin Position' for your bed placement. Don't fret; it's not as ominous as it sounds!
Bedroom Bedlam: The 'Coffin Position' Unveiled
I'm no Feng Shui guru, but I've had my fair share of chats with folks who swear by its importance. So, what exactly is this 'Coffin Position' hullabaloo?
If your bed lines up perfectly with your bedroom door, congratulations, you've got yourself a 'Coffin Position' bed. This means your feet point straight to the door; according to Feng Shui, that's a big no-no. Apparently, this eerie alignment drains your energy while you snooze. Spooky, right?
Believe it or Not: The Power of Belief in Feng Shui
Before you panic, remember belief is a potent force in our lives. If you're a Feng Shui enthusiast, the position of your bed is the key to a good night's sleep. So, let's not brush it off too quickly!
Positioning Your Way to Zen
Now, if you're thinking, "Okay, I'm sold on this Feng Shui stuff, what do I do?"
The Feng Shui experts suggest adjusting your bed so your feet don't directly point at the door. It's as simple as that!
A little tweak in your bed's position can work wonders, and the best part is you get to decide how to make it happen.
My Feng Shui Bedtime Epiphany
I couldn't help but check out the bedrooms in my humble abode after stumbling upon the term 'coffin position' (a tad creepy, don't you think?).
Lo and behold, not a single bed in my house aligns with the dreaded door. It's pure coincidence, I assure you! It seems like I've unknowingly been following Feng Shui's rules all along.
Phew! Crisis averted.
Maybe not; it feels like my energy is drained every night anyway! For nearly all of 2023, I've felt totally exhausted!
Breaking the Rules...Or Not?
Now, you might wonder, "What's the worst that could happen if I disregard this Feng Shui rule?"
Well, the logical side of you might scoff and say, "Absolutely nothing!" After all, we're not superstitious, right? Or are we? Some folks avoid walking under ladders, fear stepping on cracks, and treat mirrors like fragile relics.
To each their own, I say!
😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
In the end, what matters most is your personal preference. If you're a Feng Shui believer and want to dodge that 'Coffin Position,' go for it.
If not, you've got a good chuckle out of it. Decorate your space your way, my friends! 🛏️✨

What a fascinating theory! Fortunately, our bed is at right angles to both our master bedroom doors, so one less thing to worry about. I hope your 2024 is a lot less exhausting!m than your 2023!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, thank you! and an early wish for a calm 2024 for your family too <3
DeleteI think it is hard to find a bedroom that doesn't find your bed pointing someone to a door, especially if you have both a bedroom door and a bathroom door or closet door off your bedroom. But your Feng Shui stories and superstitions are interesting to read. Your coffin position bed is a fun Halloween story, anyway. LOL. Thanks for your fun review, Barbra.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, this isn't something I really think about when I'm decorating a bedroom - but after learning of this, the darn thing is stuck in my head lol
DeleteSo, what if the door is off to the side of the wall, therefore your feet are actually pointing to the wall with the door on it, instead of directly at the door? I think between my bedroom mirror and my bed position, I'm sunk. Good think I am not superstitious. Personally, I want to be able to see out the bedroom door when I am in bed, but this is a very interesting read.
ReplyDeletelol, I wondered the same thing! hahaha
