      Well ,do you even watch? To call it supertitious is not quite right, if you watch him explaining it has reasons why they have those rules, and actually the rearangement he point out do make the room better.
      Anyway Im not trying to nag you of being offensed just to clarify, fengshui , is actually more about how circulation of air(feng) and water(shui) bc back then in chinese it matters,so depend on one mastery and how they apply the old fengshui to new modern lifestyle on its concept it will make difference .

    Oh have I got a story for you. Coming from a Hmong background I was warned never to sleep with my head pointing towards the door. But no one ever explained why. One day I took a nap with my head towards the door and I dreamed I was at a funeral and the dead person woke up and started chasing after me. I was so scared. Thankfully the dead person never caught me although it came close to getting through one of the rooms that I was hiding in inside the dream. After that I learned that sleeping with your head facing the door means it's an invitation for the dead to take you. I never ever again slept that way.

      Or just place it where you feel the most protected when a random noise scares you at night.
      Wooden floors and ceilings can creak, making it sound like someone/something was there but it's just the wood reacting to changes in temperature and moisture. This kept me up for many nights in the first half year of living alone.

      In more than 15 years in the medical field, I've never had a patient ask to be "wheeled out" backwards. On the rare occasions I had to move a patient head first for a longish distance, I've actually received complaints. Patients want to see where they're going. Being sick and hospitalized is enough uncertainty.
      But if a patient had asked to be moved head first, I would have no problem doing it for them. It just never happened.

    Being a Jew and hearing a Jewish sleeping superstition put a huge smile on my face. I didn’t know that! Your channel is always so fun to watch! ❤

    SLEEP WITH DIRECTION IS BEST FOR YOU!!!! FEEL IT!! I’ve ALWAYS slept north. When I change my bed EWS, I’ve never slept good. Unless I had the bed in the center. Now that was always funn!!!

    This was an important comparison, I always wondered if the feng shui was same as vastu or different when it comes to sleeping and study positions
    Can you please also make a video like this one for study/ office?

    Abiding by just a few feng shui rules is really difficult at least for a beginner like me
