Next, let’s go over what these two areas of philosophy say. Both Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra are very cultural perspectives on room design and layout, each with its focus. Feng Shui, a well-known Chinese art, embraces the power of energy and strategic placement to bring harmony and balance to your life.
On the flip side, we have Vastu Shastra, the Indian counterpart that’s all about achieving architectural balance through the lens of science. In fact, its name literally translates to the “science of architecture.”
The best sleep direction, according to Feng Shui:
For those in the know, this is related to your Kua number, an individual angle based on your date of birth. Depending on this calculation and which Kua number you fall under, you should put yourself in specific cardinal directions to optimise your sleep. This is known as the Commanding position, one that helps promote good chi and, in turn, gives calm, balance, and security while you rest.
The best sleep direction, according to Vastu Shastra:
According to the ancient wisdom of Vastu Shastra, snoozing with your head pointing south aligns your body’s magnetic energy with the Earth’s magnetic field. It’s like a cosmic dance of opposite poles attracting. When you flip the other way, you’ll have two similar poles facing each other, and that’s a recipe for potential headaches and high blood pressure.
