How can I block the bathroom from my bed?

This is basic, common-sense advice that is often forgotten. Block the flow of energy from the bed toward the bathroom by using a bed with a tall footboard. Alternately, a tall piece of furniture, such as a bookcase, can also serve this function. Even a thin free-standing screen can help block the flow of energy.

What to do if your bed is in line with the door?

If your bed and a door are in alignment, then it is best to simply move the bed so that it is not in line with the door. If this is not possible, one solution is to block the flow of energy from the foot of the bed, using a tall, solid footboard. This is particularly helpful if your bed is in line with the main door to the bedroom.

Why does your bedroom need to be away from the door?
