The Ancestor’s Reminder: “Beware the Bedside Trio: Avoid the Constant Calamities and Mounting Debts”

3 November, 2024

Sharp objects such as knives and swords

are often considered to carry negative energy and can create unhealthy pressure on work and cause anxiety. These objects have the potential to cause injury at any time, so it’s best to keep them away from the bedside area where you sleep.

Buddha Statues

Placing Buddha statues in the bedroom is a common practice among families who wish to invite peace and blessings into their homes. However, this practice is not recommended.

In folk belief, Buddha statues are sacred symbols and are highly valued. These items should be placed in respectful locations, away from the privacy of the bedroom.

According to Feng Shui principles, placing Buddha statues at the head of your bed can lead to the trapping of wealth and luck, negatively impacting the career and professional development of the homeowner.

Mirrors

While mirrors are commonplace in every household, they are not advisable to hang in the bedroom. Many people overlook the importance of proper mirror placement within their living spaces. Mirrors have the potential to influence the mood of both spouses and create spiritual disturbances, leaving room for external influences.

When arranging mirrors in the bedroom, avoid positioning them directly across from the bed. This is a common mistake that many people make. While some may consider this arrangement normal, sleeping facing a mirror can induce a trance-like state, disrupt deep sleep, and make it challenging to focus on other aspects of life.

Items to Avoid in the Bedroom

Heirlooms and Antiques

Displaying heirlooms and antiques in the bedroom should also be avoided. Although these items hold sentimental and monetary value, exhibiting them in a private space like the bedroom can induce anxiety and disturb the peace of the homeowner. This may lead to strange dreams and difficulty concentrating on daily tasks.

Electronic Devices

It is best to keep electronic devices out of the bedroom. Whether large or small, these devices should be placed at a distance from the bed. While the radiation emitted by these devices may not be significant, it is advisable to keep them away from the sleeping area, including radios, phone chargers, and insect-killing lamps. If this cannot be avoided, ensure they are positioned away from walls and the bed, with power outlets at least 2 meters away from the head of the bed to minimize the negative impact of radiation.

Aquariums

Lastly, avoid placing aquariums in the bedroom. Items associated with water, such as washbasins, aquariums, or water-themed paintings (‘Thủy’ in Feng Shui), can create disharmony and disturb the peaceful sleep of the homeowner.
