Power position!

Within feng shui I've learned that wether you are sitting, standing or laying you should always be aiming at finding your power position, also called "armchair"position. 
Think of an armchair with high back, armrests and a footstool, something that embraces and protects you from the back and on the sides but with free sight forward. That's the feeling you want to achieve when you are placing your bed, sofa or desk in the room. 
 
( I know the footstool is missing but it's still beautiful)
 
The power position has its origin in ancient times when it was important where you built your house To protect you from enemies or wild animals. The best way was (is) to have a mountain in the back, a forest on the sides and water in front of you so you wiuld see who is coming.
 
So when placing a bed you should place it so you can see the door, with a wall behind your head ( not under a window) and supported by two bed tables.
 
 
The same works for a desk. Place it in the room so you can see the door so when you sit you will have a wall behind you. 
Of course it's not that easy but just to give some general ideas of the basics. 
 
Then we have ying and yang. 
 
 
Contrasts and opposites!
 
So when our furniture are in power position we can start to create balance by using colours, materials, shapes and  lights. 
 
But right now I need to create balance on a more basic level by creating equal piles of laundry to all the members in my family :)
a never ending story...
