Well ,do you even watch? To call it supertitious is not quite right, if you watch him explaining it has reasons why they have those rules, and actually the rearangement he point out do make the room better. Anyway Im not trying to nag you of being offensed just to clarify, fengshui , is actually more about how circulation of air(feng) and water(shui) bc back then in chinese it matters,so depend on one mastery and how they apply the old fengshui to new modern lifestyle on its concept it will make difference .
I'd never heard of the feet facing the door for Jews however it is recommended that Jews not sleep facing east or west for reasons relating to where the divine presence resides
As an Indian, my mom always scolds me not to sleep in the direction pointing my feet towards the south But my bed is just put that way considering all the furniture in the room!
I almost always fall asleep on trains. So when I get rich, my bed will be on a little train that is driving though my mansion during the night. No wondering anymore where and how to place my bed!
No matter how much sleep I get the night before sleeping on the train happens to me too. Not sure how true this is but I was told that it's the rocking back and forth motion like rocking a baby in a rocking chair that lulls you to sleep. For some reason that makes sense to me.
Maybe you could have a bed that simulates the feeling of the train moving, but then you'd need to place your bed 😬 but you wouldn't need a train operator 24-7
@@1pearl.6 you say that like he wouldn't have an open mind without his job or it's some kind of thing he's doing to Garner popularity. If he didn't mention it, it would just go unnoticed. It's not like it's a big thing that everyone does to get likes.

Oh have I got a story for you. Coming from a Hmong background I was warned never to sleep with my head pointing towards the door. But no one ever explained why. One day I took a nap with my head towards the door and I dreamed I was at a funeral and the dead person woke up and started chasing after me. I was so scared. Thankfully the dead person never caught me although it came close to getting through one of the rooms that I was hiding in inside the dream. After that I learned that sleeping with your head facing the door means it's an invitation for the dead to take you. I never ever again slept that way.
I remember a Hming friend saying something about that before! And also getting an impromptu lessen on the sacredness of the head (specifically the top) in Japanese class 😂
@@kirito5547 yeh im glad to be the same my house is very old so when its a storm outside or a lot of wind a bit if the house can shake and my old doors move too which always sounds like someone is attempting to come in so im glad i can't see the door xD cuz thats scary to see your door shaking all night
I need help, my bed head is up against 2 windows our feet are facing 2 doors that have mirrors on each door not directly but to each side of the bed. On my LHS is our door entry on the RHS is a wall that has the bathroom on the otherside. Any help will be accepted with gratitude thank you
@@sargestatus if feet are pointed towards bathroom door it might be alright, or feet by the windows! Sorry it’s kinda hard to imagine your room layout with just words 😅
I heard that it's stressful, your sleepy brain thinks your reflection is an intruder in your room. As a child I had a huge mirror close to my bed, it was scary (I thought there were monsters inside it)
Rule of thumb: if you’re in a horror movie, and the night vision camera is shooting from your POV in bed, what is the least horrifying perspective when the door seemingly creaks open on its own to reveal the darker area beyond it.
Or just place it where you feel the most protected when a random noise scares you at night. Wooden floors and ceilings can creak, making it sound like someone/something was there but it's just the wood reacting to changes in temperature and moisture. This kept me up for many nights in the first half year of living alone.
I like to sleep with my feet towards the east so that when I wake up my face is toward the rising sun and the light can help maintain my circadian rhythm. :)
You make the most smart video cause you show us how to put our bed, I have never understand what it mean put "the head towards " any direcction! A visual explanatión is so useful ! Thanks a lot !!!
Im English and I'm aware it's a bad idea to travel 'feet first' out of a door, such as when wheeling a hospital bed, as this is the way a dead person is carried out. I can say from experience, it feels very wrong, but hospital staff don't seem to be aware of this anymore.
If I'm the patient and I am watching, I'm not yet dead. To me if a patient, I don't care, if anything I like to see where the bed is going, as into a scanner or X ray room.
@@Hello-hello-hello456 They're not doing their job properly if patients feel uncomfortable. In my experience they're 'too busy' to care at all these days.
In more than 15 years in the medical field, I've never had a patient ask to be "wheeled out" backwards. On the rare occasions I had to move a patient head first for a longish distance, I've actually received complaints. Patients want to see where they're going. Being sick and hospitalized is enough uncertainty. But if a patient had asked to be moved head first, I would have no problem doing it for them. It just never happened.
Wow, in one video by including everyone from Indians to Japanese, you made me so happy that I was subscribed to you. As a Muslim, I thank you for your incredible thoughtfulness!!
i just use my own body to tell me which way to sleep. There's just too many factors with each individual living environment to pull out a play or rules book that can cover it. Your body knows best so...just experiment and listen or feel what it likes. It will never lie !
Thank you for showing us how something as simple as sleep can be so different and mean different things to different cultures. Our differences make us beautiful, loved this video!(:
My Hungarian grandma taught me I need to sleep with my feet to the south so they stay warm and cozy. I used to feel disoriented in the morning when I slept in a different direction. Now I can handle sleeping in any direction but I think my sense of orientation has gotten worse from it.
The whole which direction of sleeping position of the bed feels like a scam, I get that it is cultural but do you also believe that, standing and facing any particular cardinal directions, means that you’re more likely to live longer or not?
What if I have 3 doors 😭 I have a rectangle room. The long end has a entrance door and the other long end has the bathroom and closet door and one short end has big windows
It's okay as long as your feet isn't directly facing or pointing at any of the doors. You can even tuck your bed on the corner where there is no straight line towards a door.
Me too. Feet to the door with a Long hallway right outside, head to the northeast, single with bed in the middle of the room. No wonder I'm having seizures every night in my sleep. 🤣
Sorry, but Vastu says not to sleep crossing the direction of Earth's magnetic field.....not because it repells body's magnetic field, so no sleeping in east-west direction. Edit: We also share a similar belief as Japanese as to not sleep in the direction corpse it laid, which is also with head towards North in Hindu tradition. So the only advisable direction is head at South or South west .
I love that Feng shui is very personal for you. More than just following a strict code, you have an amazing sense of empathy that drives you to making everyone's energy fuzzy and happy.
I cannot explain how happy I am to see you explain fluently which direction Muslims prefer to sleep in. That takes research, consideration and respect especially since you got it spot on! Thank you for making me feel included.
Lovely video and I’m so happy with my bed position and direction I sleep in (easy to west.) my house is two octagons with a corridor intbewteen so I think the chi is pretty good based on just watching your videos 😂 cause now I know (or at least I think I do. Thank you
SLEEP WITH DIRECTION IS BEST FOR YOU!!!! FEEL IT!! I’ve ALWAYS slept north. When I change my bed EWS, I’ve never slept good. Unless I had the bed in the center. Now that was always funn!!!
Is sleeping with your head by 35NO degrees and your feet facing 245ZW okay? I don’t really know how else to do it. Cause if my head is at 331 North west I’m against toilet wall and stuff. Head at 270 West is imposible, no place or wall to put it there. And 150 South east is under window
Nooooo my lucky compass number is 8 and most hard compass directions are unlucky 😭😭 plus my head faces north which is also very unlucky😭 And since my room is square I can't make my bed at an angle, but my only lucky hard direction is the wall where my closet and other furniture are 😭 Oh well, living in Cali is expensive 😁
When you’re talking about the esoterica of directionality, you’re going to find different takes based on culture. So I would say do what you think is ideal based on your own practices. Some even say it depends, rather than a plain “this direction is bad” Basically there’s no simple answer, so if you think one direction is more benevolent, go for it. Guarantee some culture will tell you it’s bad form no matter what.
In my country is it said as religious tradition Orthodox to sleep with the head towards N-E, even the priests also pray and make altars in such a way, they face N-E, also churches are build in a way to create the altar facing N-E. To be honest, I'm neither religious, neither believe in superstitions, but I used to sleep with my head towards S, and had continuesly bad nightmares for months, and insomnia, changed how to room looks, and also the position of the bed, and now I sleep almost like a baby, every night. Also in our country it is said it's bad luck to sleep with your feets facing the door
Question here.. so for instance, if people in Japan and India for instance, aren’t supposed to sleep with their heads to the north- but if the way their bedroom is set up, (considering the doors, windows etc..) and the best way to achieve good Feng Shui is only by having their heads to the north.. which one would have precedence? Sleeping to the north or aligning your bed so it fits well within the room so you have good Feng Shui? Just curious:) Love your videos!✨
I don't actually know what direction my bed is even facing because my apartment building is built not straight on the compass grid. Somewhere towards the west but idk. Maybe I should get a compass?
As a Russian, it's not bad to sleep legs towards the door, but it's bad luck to be carried in a stretcher or so legs forward because of the same corpse issue. And it's actually not a good idea to sleep with your head right below rhe window, because it's cold, and we open the windows even during the winter.. ❄️⛄🌬️
I always sleep North, but it works out because my right side is facing Mecca. Just like, been that way since I was a child. Slept so poorly in a dorm one year when I was sleeping south facing.
For me Is better to sleep to the north, because that’s how you’d have the best chance of an Astral voyage. To the East is my 2nd and often, my preffered choice. If I sleep to the south, I always have nightmares!
Iv slept in every possible direction multiple times , my bed , my couch , the floor , at grandmas house , grandmas upstairs bed , grandmas couch , outdoor camping , on a boulder , under a tree , facing the door , the door behind my head , on the stairs , .... i can keep naming more iv respected and disrespected all traditions and beliefs apparently 😂
Yooo. How do I calculate the Feng Shui direction? Bc the others don't apply to me and I love nitpicking on little rules like these, idk it makes me happy for some reason. Ig i like structure in my life
Seems like he forgot about mirrors! Though I guess it’s pretty common sense, a lot of cultures dislike sleeping facing a mirror. Probably because it just generally feels creepy, but also for superstitious reasons
Listen, it works. Yeah it's completely fake but because of the placebo effect you end up sleeping better. Believe in anything you want hard enough and in your little reality it becomes true enough to help or harm you.
I am living in a caravan. My feet are pointing towards the door and my head is pointing to the North! I am corpse for sure! 😅 Damn, I felt it was wrong when I moved here, but there is no way of remedying it.
Ok, so take the room you have pictured here. Add a full windows on the right wall, a bathroom door on the left wall near the top corner, and the wall opposite the main door has 2 smaller windows wide enough to center a queen bed between. The main door is on a south wall. Help?!
Is it okay to have my feet pointing towards a closed closet door when I sleep? For 2024, I am concerned which way to sleep as I can either point my head east or south due to my small box room
In India too they put the head of the dead towards north. But I have been sleeping with my head towards the north. I sleep perfectly fine. As per fengsui the position in th room is command position. I prefer fengsui over vastu.
In many regions of Italy it is also belevied that you shouldn't sleep on your bed facing the door, because it's the way passed people are positioned right before they're taken to the grave. It's a superstition in which I don't believe, but I thought would be interesting to share
As muslims, its either the right hand side or the part of our bed where our pillow is that points towards the qibla. There is no compulsion on any certain direction, simply that its kinda seen as a bit disrespectful to put your feets towards the qibla thats all.
I wonder which direction people in outer space should sleep. also if your room doesn't allow nice placement for optimum sleep direction, is it okay to sleep whichever way is available?
Question and it may have nothing to do with this, but would there be a reason that after a while, say 6 months I have to switch my sleeping direction? I don't move my bed, but if I find I can't fall asleep I just sleep with my head at the foot of the bed
The reason why it is bad is because the Maps are wrong. The Maps are deliberately created to face the south. When we look at the map, we think south is north and north is south. So when we sleep north, we are sleeping south. Which is why The kundalini energies are so disturbed.
