Feng Shui Placing Bed where Someone Died
From LoveToKnow Feng-Shui
In feng shui, placing beds where someone died is a crucial element to restoring peace and harmony to your home. The bed has a great deal to do with feng shui.
Ling Energies and the Chi
According to the feng shui Ling theory of evolution, ling energies are the lingering energies that remain in a home after somebody has passed away. According to the Ling theory, when someone dies the chi leaves the body and enters the astral plane to wait for a potential return into another human, usually a newborn. Sometimes the chi lingers after death and the process is not fully completed. In these instances, a portion of the chi lingers in the aforementioned form of ling energy. In these situations, the ling energy frequently returns to the territory it knows best. This often means that since many people spend a significant portion of their dying days on their deathbed, the ling energy often returns to the bed. After all, the bed is the last place the person was alive, so there is a tremendous connection between a bed where somebody has died and his or her chi.
Feng Shui and the Deathbed
A deathbed is often positioned where the dying person is able to be most comfortable, or receive the greatest number of visitors. This bed placement decision can depend on many factors, as the specific situation warrants. Though feng shui plays an integral role in the natural cycle of life, especially the psychology of death and dying, often times it is difficult to coordinate feng shui into a deathbed. The bed has more of a pragmatic purpose when somebody is dying in it; it becomes more than a bed, much more than just another inanimate object in the home. Feng shui is often not the priority when somebody is on his or her death bed. Feng shui bedroom tips are obviously not as important as caring for a dying relative. However, once somebody has passed away it is important to allow the chi and ling energies to leave the bed. This is where properly positioning the bed comes in.
About Feng Shui, Placing Bed where Someone Died
- Always have solid support
Oftentimes the bed where somebody has died has been repositioned a little bit away from the wall. This might be to allow more people into the room, or for many other practical purposes. It is essential to reposition the bed by placing it against a solid headboard or a wall. Feng shui theorizes that this symbolic support of the head will provide strength and bring calmness during difficult times of your life.
- Create a symbolic scope of vision
You want to position the bed so that you have a wide space in front of your bed. The bed’s position should permit you to have a clear scope of vision for the entire room. If you only have a limited range of scope in the room, this can block the flow of chi. As a result, this lack of sight can diminish the vision of your life. The wider the space, the better the energy; the more space in front of the bed, the more your perception of life will improve and expand outward. Being able to see the entrance into the bedroom has a symbolic purpose as well. By seeing whatever is entering, you are able to face whatever life brings you. This is especially important after somebody has died in the bed, as it might help with your own grieving. You might use feng shui to help recover from the irrecoverable human loss.
A Final Word on Bed Placement
Bed placement is one of the most important elements of feng shui. The bed takes on a special significance after somebody has passed away in it. In order to ensure that the chi of the departed individual can be passed on to another human, it is important to make sure the bed is positioned properly. Ling energies will often return to the bed. It is for this reason that repositioning the bed and determining that it is placed properly is an important part of bringing harmony and peace to the home. More than just interior design, this can help bring peace to your mind after the loss of a loved one.
