The ch'i in our bedroom is, like, totally off man...

Apparently the energy in our room isn't balanced. According to Ellen Whitehurst, a feng shui consultant, the location of your bed is extremely important in getting a good night's rest. I found this in Natural Health:
The goal is to balance the energy in your bedroom so you can relax - to do this, start by placing the head of your bed against a wall, which will give you the feeling of stability. But don't put your bed in a corner. "Leave space on both sides of your bed so energy can circle freely around you," says Whitehurst.
As you can see, we've got a gaping area in the middle of our room where all the energy has no where to go.


But wait, there's more:
If possible, move your bed so you can see your door without being directly across from it- or in front of a window. This arrangement, called "The Command Position," will subconsciously make you feel more secure by allowing you to see who is coming into your room without being startled.
Honestly, if anyone other than Erinn is coming into our bedroom, door position really won't make that much of a difference as to how "startled" I am.
