curve beam above the right side of the bed

[myfs_140469]

Hi Mr Cecil,
I noticed that above the right side of my bed there is a drop down curve beam ard 60cm as shown in the picture. I'm not sure is this beam consider bad in fengshui as I read that beam above the head or across the body is no good.
Hope you can enlighten me on this.
Thanks.

These areTWO MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS:
1.FACTOR ONE: DOWNWARD LOAD BEARING BEAM?
Is this a REAL load bearing beam? If so, it has more to do with how the LOAD is being distributed from the upper floors down.
1.1. Under Feng Shui and structural engineering fact; if a beam runs across a ceiling. Often this is a load bearing beam.
1.2. If one is below this beam be it seating below it or sleeping below it; it is suppose to exert bad qi downwards.
2. In your case, usually the beam seems MORE likely to be a CONDUIT where the upper floor weight is distributed towards the sidewall(s).
2.1. In such a case, based on structural engineering; the force is not fully exerted direclty downwards as in the case of para 1.1. but the load is channelled towards the sidewall.
3. Above demonstrates the physical aspects of how to properly determine via structural engineering means.
4. FACTOR TWO: HUMAN or MAN factors
4.1. If one feels uncertain or uncomfortable each time one looks up and see such a "BEAM" ; if it affects our human feelings; then this psychological impact is another factor (even if it is imagined).
4.2. For example, if you frequently have guests be it relatives and friends who utter comments that "Hey" it is no good to sleep below a beam; personally, one would not feel good about it.
5. In my opinion; in your diagram; it has more to do with Para 4.

Thanks Mr Cecil for your reply.
This beam is the bay window beam (in-fact the full curve is bay window).
I'm not sure whether this type of beam is consider full load bearing beam, what is your opinion on this?
Yes, you're right the we are more on the human factor, really need more affirmation from expert to rest our mind
Thanks.

1. Please see attached illustration.
2. In the illustration; there are TWO types of beams and there are diferences.
3. If one is seated or sleeping at marking (red) "A"; then this person is considered to be below a LOAD bearing beam that exerts an invisible qi directly downwards.
3.1. For example if one trace the path of the RED arrows; this shows that this beam is a LOAD bearing beam that concentrates it's force directly downwards.
4. Contrast this with a person sitting below marking "B". As mentioned in my earlier message; this "side beam" acts like a CONDUIT where if one sees the blue arrow, the load is distributed towards the sidewall.
4.1. Thus for a fact even if one is seated directly below it at marking "B"; it is not like above para 3.
5. Thus, as far as I can, I have explained in layman terms as logically as possible based on "structural engineering" type of argument.
6. Thus yours seems to be close to or perhaps more towards the SIDE BEAM.
7. In many developments be it a housing board flat or even condos and private homes; we often even seen such side beams in some of the bedrooms and many even sleep with the bed placed close to the wall with such a side beam without any ill effects.
8. In my opinion; your situation in REAL life is like the saying goes: "Statistically speaking it is safer to catch a plane ride than riding on land. One is more likely to die on the road than in a plane!"

1. As previously mentioned; what I had mentioned really has more to do with common sense or rather "Common sense Feng Shui ".
2. In many homes: apartments, private units, landed property bedrooms; one often sees a side beam as shown under the attachment.
3. In this example, there are TWO bedrooms. And the beds are positioned slightly differently: one with the bed head against wall and the other the bed is parallel towards the wall. Each bedroom encounters a side beam = so what? No big deal!
4. In this illustration the load of the upper floor(s) is carried down in the BLUE arrows. And these "beams" are simply CONDUITS.
