Once we have defined the Kua, how can we use this data? As I mentioned, the feng shui expert will make good use of it, in different ways, by performing his analysis. It will not only be used to find the location of the bed. The Ming Gua can also be used to determine the best direction for the desk, so if it is also in the room, both of these will have to be dealt with.
It is not always possible to orient the bed in these favorable directions. In some houses, the rooms are not large and the 9m2 regulations just allow for a bed without any possible arrangement. If this is the case in your house, you are not asked to sleep upside down or sideways to respect your Kua!
On the other hand, it may be possible to change your room if you take a closer look! If your son is from the East group and your daughter is from the West group, they have no favorable direction in common. By changing rooms, one can favor both the sector (since a room necessarily belongs to a cardinal zone of the house) and the orientation.
During one of my many analyses, I had to give my recommendations for the distribution of a sibling group of 4 children in 2 rooms. When calculating the Kua numbers, I realized that it would be beneficial to change the children’s rooms, as the current distribution was not optimal. In these cases, I am a bit afraid of the reaction of the main people concerned: it is very easy to distribute people on a sheet of paper, it is much less simple in reality! Finally, the mother explained to the children that all this little world would sleep better… and she called me a few weeks later to reassure me: they were delighted!
To place the bed, we choose preferably, among the personal directions, a “favorable” orientation. There are 4 of them:
- Fu Wei – general harmony
- Tian YI – health and well-being
- Yan Nian – love, relationships and connections
- Sheng – prosperity, creation and wealth
The direction considered most favorable, if there are no particular worries, will be Fu Wei.
If, on the other hand, one is experiencing relationship problems (single and suffering, family conflicts, etc.), it may be beneficial to seek the Yan Nian energies.
If one has health problems, then placing one’s bed according to one’s own Tian Yi direction will allow one to receive chi conducive to healing.
The Sheng direction is not particularly suitable for a bed (it is more suitable for a desk) but can be used occasionally (if it is possible to change the location of the bed at will of course) for a specific project.
