I'm pretty good with stars and energy.
Somewhere along the line, early on, someone convinced me that my head should be facing north when I sleep. Thankfully, recently I was corrected and told that it was quite the opposite.
My bed is in an old schoolbus I built out on 10 acres and I very much feel connected to the property. It would take a lot of movning around and effort but I could face the bus/bed the other way.
In your experience would that be worth it ?

Hi Tito,
First, let's clarify the two opposing viewpoints you mentioned:
The traditional view (head facing north): This view does exist in many ancient cultures, especially in the traditional Indian Ayurvedic and Yoga philosophies. Its core argument is that the Earth is a giant magnetic field, and the human body is also a tiny energy field (biomagnetic field). The head is considered the body's North Pole. If you sleep with your head facing north, the two "north poles" will repel each other, potentially leading to restless sleep, vivid dreams, and even health problems. This is believed to disrupt the natural harmony between the body and the Earth's magnetic field.
The "corrected" view (head not facing north): This is based on the same theory. The suggested directions are usually east (to greet the morning sun and vibrant energy), south (to attract the Earth's magnetic field, bringing stable, deep sleep), or west (considered a direction of rest and contentment, but sometimes associated with sluggishness).
Is it worth it? A multi-faceted analysis: For you and your unique living environment, the answer may be more complex than a simple "yes" or "no." Let's look at this from several perspectives:
1. Science and Energy Level
Geophysics: Earth's magnetic field lines do indeed point from the geographic South Pole to the geographic North Pole. From a purely physical standpoint, aligning your body's axis with the magnetic field lines (i.e., facing south or north) might have an impact on some sensitive individuals, although the scientific community has not yet reached a consensus.
Energy Sensitivity: You mentioned being energy sensitive, which is crucial. If your body and intuition are telling you that a certain direction makes you feel uncomfortable, then following ancient wisdom to adjust is worthwhile. The body is our best compass.
2. Environment and Personal Connection Level (This is your unique strength!)
Several points you mentioned make this decision very personal and have even greater potential:
10 Acres of Land: You don't live in an apartment surrounded by reinforced concrete. You are in nature, with a deep connection to the land. This means that Earth's energy is purer here, and your feelings will be more direct.
Converted School Bus: This is a space you created yourself, filled with your personal intentions and energy. It is a powerful "sanctuary" in itself.
A crucial piece of advice: Before moving the entire car, conduct an "energy test."
This test is extremely inexpensive yet provides the most direct answers:
Steps:
Simply adjust the direction your mattress faces in the car. If the bed is fixed, at least adjust the direction you face while sleeping. For example, sleep with your head facing south tonight and east tomorrow night.
Sleep in each direction for 2-3 consecutive nights.
Prepare a simple "sleep diary" and record:
Ease of falling asleep
Sleep depth (easily awakened during the night)
Clarity or nature of dreams (peaceful or chaotic)
How you feel upon waking in the morning (refreshed or exhausted)
Overall energy and mood during the day
Through this test, you will obtain unique data tailored to yourself. You might find that facing east to greet the sunrise is the best choice for you, or that facing south does indeed bring more restful sleep. Your body and intuition are more authoritative than any book theory.
3. Practical Considerations and Costs
You mentioned "moving it around a lot, which takes a lot of effort." This is a practical consideration.
If the energy test shows a significant difference: If the new sleep orientation makes you feel refreshed and significantly improves your sleep quality, then spending some effort to move the vehicle is an excellent investment for your physical and mental health. It's definitely "worth it."
If the energy test shows little or no difference: If your sleep and feelings are similar regardless of the orientation, then it may not be worth the significant effort to move the vehicle. You can focus your energy on improving the energy of the space in other ways.
Comprehensive Recommendations and Deeper Thinking
Test Before You Act: It is strongly recommended that you conduct a "sleep orientation test." This is the wisest first step.
Listen to the Voice of the Land: Since you have a deep connection with the land, try meditating in quiet moments to feel if the land has a "preferred" orientation. Where does your school bus feel most "right" parked? This intuition is also important.
The Power of Intention: When you decide to move the vehicle, you can treat it as a sacred ritual. Clear out your new parking spot and set your intentions (e.g., "I'll turn the front of the car east to welcome new life and wisdom" or "I'll turn the rear of the car north to settle my mind and body and get deep rest"). This action itself will infuse your space with powerful energy.
The Balance: If moving your vehicle is truly difficult, and you feel that facing north does have an impact, consider some feng shui adjustments, such as placing a black stone or hematite (symbolizing stability and grounding) at the head of your bed (north position), or creating a visual or energetic "barrier."

Hi Jean! It’s great that you’re considering Feng Shui principles for your new home. Since your Kua number is 2, your best facing direction is indeed southwest, but don’t worry—there are ways to work with a south/southeast-facing property and still create good Feng Shui. Here are some suggestions:
1. Adjust the Main Entrance
If possible, design the house so that the main entrance aligns more closely with your auspicious direction (southwest). For example, you could angle the entrance or use pathways and landscaping to subtly guide energy (Qi) toward the southwest.
If the main door cannot be changed, consider adding a secondary entrance or porch that faces southwest to attract positive energy.
2. Use Interior Feng Shui Adjustments
Place your bedroom, home office, or living room in the southwest sector of the house. These are key areas where you spend a lot of time, so aligning them with your auspicious direction can help enhance your personal energy.
Position your bed, desk, or stove (if applicable) to face your favorable direction (southwest) while sitting or sleeping.
3. Enhance the Southwest Area of the Property
Strengthen the southwest area of the land or house by adding Feng Shui elements like:
Earth elements: Rocks, crystals, or ceramic decor.
Fire elements: Lights, candles, or red decor (since Fire strengthens Earth in the 5-element cycle).
Avoid placing water features (like fountains or ponds) in the southwest, as Water weakens Earth.
4. Balance the Energy of the South/Southeast Facing
Since the property faces south/southeast, you can balance the energy by incorporating elements that correspond to those directions:
South: Associated with Fire. Use red, triangular shapes, or lighting to enhance this area.
Southeast: Associated with Wood. Use plants, wooden furniture, or green decor.
Avoid overloading the property with Metal elements (like white or gray colors), as Metal can weaken Wood and Earth.
5. Use Feng Shui Cures
Place a Ba-Gua mirror above the main entrance to deflect any negative energy.
Use wind chimes or crystals in the southeast area to harmonize the energy flow.
6. Focus on Your Intention
Feng Shui is not just about directions; it’s also about creating a harmonious and positive environment. If you feel strongly connected to the land, your positive intention and energy can also enhance the overall Feng Shui.
By making these adjustments, you can still create a harmonious and supportive environment, even if the property doesn’t perfectly align with your Kua number. Good luck with your new home, Jean!
