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 .
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 😅
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!!
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 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.
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)
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 !!!
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!(:
I have been watching your videos for a while now and finally rearranged my bedroom. My feet are no longer pointing toward the door and the room flows better. It makes me happy. Thank you!
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.
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 !
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 actually tend to sleep on my right, facing my door. I feel more in control. It helps that I'm at the end of a very short hallway in a more isolated part of the house.
Thank you for making this video! We had to position our bed head-north, which makes the most sense for our room, but I'd heard bad things about per feng shui. Good to hear this leniency based on other factors.
I'm Jewish and while I'm not really religious or superstitious it's really cool to see things we have in common with others such as Chinese and not having our feet to the door! Thank you :)!
i have this perfect little spot in my room where my bed fits just right. I can see the window and theres a wall where the chimney goes through that hides the door. Very cozy :-)
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.
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
As Indian, apart of bodys magnetic field, others reasons are valid too. Like Japanese we also keep corpse head pointing north So no north, and again like chinese sleeping feet facing doors is also not approved. Sleeping towards west is constroversial, some says it leads to emotional stress, while others say its neutral and doesnt impact much.
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!!!
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.
there is a study that shows no matter which direction you place an infant in a crib, they’ll wiggle themselves around to point their head south. that’s why babies always be sleeping in wonky positions
This was an important comparison, I always wondered if the feng shui was same as vastu or different when it comes to sleeping and study positions Can you please also make a video like this one for study/ office?
In my culture it’s really about “what works best.” I’ve had every position in my room, I’ve switched the bed around in so many positions because I have had issues with room configuration. I finally made a floor plan last year after watching a few of your videos. It still feels under construction… alas.
I m so glad he said that isn't not haram to point your feet towards Qibla as a lot of people do abide by it being haram but it's just kinda weird to do it, I'm so glad he said it
That’s wild. The head of my bed is north, and I randomly started sleeping at the opposite end and the sleep was pretty amazing 🫢 Definitely coincidental, but still interesting
I sleep with my head facing east, though my bed is directly faceing the door into my bedroom, I have a sitting bench were I put my shoes in inbetween my bed and the door
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.
Spouse & I were average students. Children slept with head to the East. They Won so many academic awards that we both wondered how this happened. Teachers & Doctors asked us how our children turned out so very smart. So East must be best.
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
Although I'm not very superstitious about stuff like this, your videos are really interesting to watch! Keep it up 💪🏻

No wonder something bad happens to me when I feel good for 0.00000000000000000001 seconds.

Love this . Its so interesting i just changed my bed to south east side and i sleep way more peaceful and deeper
thank you for including the qibla!!!! ❤
Best direction actually is head facing towards south and feet facing north.
How to figure out whats your lucky direction? And what are the rules for us in the northern hemisphere? More spesific Scandinavia?
Look up your kua number

Lovee that you mentioned qibla information
I love your inclusion of other faiths and for islam it is right 👍👍👍
In Hawai’i it’s bad to sleep with your feet towards the door. “Night marchers” will try to take you with them back to “the otherside.”
Vastu Shastra is MOST scientific. Every one should learn it and apply it. It has transformative results if one follows correctly
