Bed Facing North and Little Space for the Phoenix?

[versio]

Hi everybody,
I recently bought an apartment, and am about to renovate it. I bought a book on Feng Shui, and am trying to design my new place according to the principles it describes. When I was working on my study/bedroom layout, I ran into a problem. My head would face north in bed. Somebody told me that it's a problem. Also, I would have very little space in front of my legs, which is quite restricting for the Phoenix, right? Is there a way to stimulate Phoenix without giving him physical space? Like, using red color, putting up a painting of Phoenix, etc?
I'll appreciate any advice. Please e-mail me at michalginter@volny.cz. Thanks. M.

Dear Michal,
1. Many elements of "Shapes and Form" School of Feng Shui is about commonsense approach.
2. The main thing one should remember is that we should make the `room' fit us rather than to "re-design" ourselves to fit the environment.
3. Here, it does not sound appropriate for you to fit into the "principles of FS" based on the book, do re-examine, what you would have done if you have not picked up the book on Feng Shui.
4. Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, things should be `natural' e.g. placing the bed at a location where one feels comfortable. For example placing the bed against a solid wall.
5. Only after one has done the above and have the luxury to be able to face say a " good direction " then try to do so.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
