Q: Is it true that the bed in the master bedroom should not be placed above the kitchen oven/stove? That would be the "power" position in my bedroom & I'd like to move it to that spot. But I've read that it's not good for the heart for the bed to be above the stove. Placing the bed against the other available wall would require that you walk all the way around the bed to get to the master bathroom.
A: Yes, it is considered potentially harmful to sleep in a bed that is directly above the stove.
The stove is a very active (yang) energy. A bed is for sleeping, which is a very yin state of inactivity. When the bed is above the stove you may find that you do not sleep well or that you feel tired and irritable much of the time. It could also indicate heart or blood pressure problems (the stove is a strong fire element, and fire is associated with the heart) for anyone sleeping in that bed. However, that's just an indication, not a guarantee of problems.
Whether that’s of sufficient concern that you are willing to move your bed to a position where you will have to walk a few extra feet to get to the bathroom is up to you.Labels: bedroom, Feng Shui Q+A, Kitchens
