beds under windows

Hey all,
My name is Emma. I'm a bit of a feng shui novice, but I have one main question at the moment: is it ever not deterimental to have your bed under a window?
The room I have (in a sharehouse) is okay as it is, but it feels stale and I want to move the bed around ... under a window seems the only possibility.
Thanks ...

Hi all,  

I was wondering if anyone had helpful suggestions about this dilemma.  I got a peace lily plant from my boyfriend.  when I got it, it had a few white flowers on it, which I just cut off.  

In the last month however, it has started flowering a LOT.  I am unwilling to deface this plant any further, since it has shown a lot of tenacity and I attach a great deal of sentimental value to it. 

Can someone please explain what I am supposed to do with this plant?  I can't really come around to the fact that having a defaced plant in my office would really improve the feng shui, and frankly if it werent for my chinese upbringing i would really love the white flowers.  could there be ANY LOOPHOLE in the white flower rule that allows me to keep this plant without defacing it further????

help =( 

PS i've started making red marks on the flowers with a marker.  this has not particularly improved the look of hte plant.

PPS You're going to think i'm nuts.  I'm a normal professional born and bred in north america.  but it was always drilled into me that having white flowers around was extremely, extremely dangerous.

New apartment.

Okay so, I have my own new place and I want to make it ideal.

I'm 20 years old born on July 13th of 86 at 3:30pm. The place is in the heart of downtown facing the river and its very old, over a hundred years old. Its on the 3rd floor, and the floors are dark reddish black stone. There are two windows, one looks out into the hallway of the apartment and the other is six inches from a stone wall.

Here is a drawing. Any ideas?

update on apt fix

Thanks silvertipwings for suggesting I look at setting up the BaGua for my new apartment by the direction it faces/sits rather than where the front door is located.  I found out some interesting things.

1. My apartment is situated almost exactly the same way whether you set it up by direction or door placement.  I have a Li house, faces north, sits south.  Almost all the different situations on the BaGua correspond to the situations placed by front door placement.  Oh well. instead of love/relationships in my bathroom it becomes heavenly doctor.  There will be much adjusting in the bathroom to protect the chi.

2. My apartment is ideal for my personal kua (this was something I only figured out today during my researching) from my birth.  My four most auspicious placements for my life are the same for the directional facing of my new home.  This can be very great, except my fiance is a western facing kua while I'm eastern.  So we are opposed in all our auspicious rooms of the apartment.  Again, much chi adjusting will be done to suit this.  

3. Interestingly enough, my kua and apartment are also auspicious with my place in my family.  I am the eldest daughter and am therefore suited in the southeast.

Perhaps letting it be might be what's needed but a little pre-emptive work couldn't hurt (stitch in time, ounce of prevention, and all that).

new apartment HELP

Hi, am new to this community but had some successes using feng shui to tweak my last apartment.  Now I am moving and need some advice on the new bagua.  Note about me, I have always been open to spirituality but was never really into Eastern philosophies and traditions (except maybe if you count the "fortune cookie" which you really can't because it was invented in California).

Things didn't totally work out and I am moving back to my home-town.  I didn't have much choice over the apartment I'm moving to.  My grandmother helped me find it, and I like the community very much, but it was the price I couldn't pass up. My fiance will move in to this apartment after we're married in March (I'm locked into a year lease).


Any ideas for fixing the bad bathroom situation?

corner pointing at bed

I've just moved into a new, small area and I have an unfortunate problem of the corner of my desk pointing towards the right corner of my bed. unfortunately I can't really change the positioning due to the size of the room and the furniture. I'm wondering if I might be able to put a mirror or something on the wall behind the bed to reflect the poison arrow? it only crosses over a small portion of the bed but it makes me a bit uneasy.

it looks something like this:



any help is appreciated :) thanks!
