Sleep takes up approximately a third of our lives. It is no coincidence that we take responsibility for everything that is connected with our sleep. It is important to us when and how we fall asleep and wake up. We perform daily rituals related to sleep (everyone has their own), discuss dreams, turn to dream books to find out the reason for this or that mysterious vision.
Finally, a dream for many is a mystery, mysticism, something unidentified and subtle. Dreams, as knowledge of oneself and the universe, are studied by various specialists in this field, including experts in esotericism. This science views our dreams as astral projection.
In other words, the physical body of a sleeping person remains at rest, and the journey through the labyrinths of sleep is carried out by the astral body, capable of moving around rooms, flying, and seeing itself from the outside. This is called going beyond.
There are many special techniques with which you can learn to control and manage your astral body. Many people, in order to understand themselves, pay special attention to the environment in which they fall asleep and wake up every day.
There are many different signs about dreams, guided by which you can improve your emotional background. In other words, if you know how to sleep properly, you can avoid many problems!
Sleep with your feet to the door
Most likely, each of us in childhood heard from our mother, grandmother or friends the phrase: “Never sleep with your feet to the door!” Now you're probably thinking, “I never sleep!” We became scared and instantly changed our body position in bed. Just in case.
This superstition is explained by the fact that they carry the dead person out of the house with their feet towards the exit. Therefore, they try to arrange the beds in the house so that during sleep their feet are under no circumstances facing the door.
Psychologists explain this sign in their own way: people with a fine nervous mental organization, thinking about every little thing, feel in danger when they sleep with their feet to the door. For this reason, experts recommend moving the bed to another location, especially if the bedroom door does not close at night.
After all, the dark corridor behind the door frightens a person, in the darkness he begins to imagine terrifying pictures, imagining monsters that are already standing on the threshold and are about to attack you. In this case, nightmares simply cannot be avoided, and one can only dream of a restful sleep. This is why sleeping with your feet facing the door is not recommended.
An open dark door, as a path to the terrible world of witchcraft and monsters, was also considered in Old Norse mythology. For the ancient Scandinavians, sleep meant a small death. If he fell asleep, it means he died for a short time.
Therefore, they never placed the bed with its feet towards the door, so that the soul could not leave the body at night into a dark corridor inhabited by evil spirits. These people believed that the departed soul would never again find its native refuge.
How to get out of bed correctly
The heart is one of the most important organs of our body.
According to ancient holistic theories, you need to get out of bed by turning on your right side, and then gradually climb up without jerking.
This is how you will put the least amount of stress on your cardiovascular system.
How to wake up your body and brain
To get up in the morning cheerful and full of energy, rub your hands together and cover your eyes with your palms. There are many nerve vessels concentrated in your hands, which you activate when you rub your hands.
If you still feel sluggish and sleepy after this, join your palms and hold them together for a few minutes. This method should quickly awaken your entire body.
Sleep with your head towards the door
To answer this question, it is necessary to again turn our attention to myths, religion, folk traditions and scientific justifications.
In ancient times, no one slept with their head towards the exit. It was simply considered unsafe. Ancient people fell asleep with their heads against the wall: it was there, next to the bed, that weapons lay. In case of danger, you can quickly take it and get even with wild animals or enemies. The person needed to control the entrance to the home.
But as you know, habits, signs, superstitions are firmly rooted at the mental level, and already on a subconscious level we begin to act according to the traditions of our ancestors, wanting to be safe every second.
As for the practice of Feng Shui, it is ruled by Qi energy - a powerful flow that is invisibly present in the house and affects every object, including the human body during sleep. Qi enters the home through the door and leaves the house through the window.
Therefore, Feng Shui prohibits placing the bed so that the head of the sleeping person faces the door. The point is that Qi energy will pass through the human body too quickly and will not allow the body to properly sleep and rest.
According to Orthodox canons, a person should sleep so that his head is in the east: this strengthens the connection with God, Christians say. Sleeping with your head to the north means losing your spiritual thread, stopping communicating with the Almighty.
The vacationer's head should not lie with his head towards the door, but his legs should not be positioned that way either. Thus, let the door of your room be in the north, and the bed should be positioned with the head of the bed facing east, with your feet facing west.
Modern scientists have not agreed on how a person’s head should be positioned during sleep. It is impossible to know the truth. The main thing is that the room is cozy, quiet, fresh and clean.
To summarize all of the above, you don’t need to sleep with your head towards the door. Even if we do not take into account the superstitions about night monsters that take away the soul, the person himself subconsciously feels extremely uncomfortable, lying with his head towards the exit.
How to avoid negative consequences from signs
To prevent various signs from having a negative impact, you simply don’t need to believe in them and be afraid that something bad will happen. Fear is such a strong feeling that it can cause long-term stress. A person who is constantly in a stressful state begins to feel unwell, his work and personal life suffer, and his income decreases. And the reason lies not in the location of the bed, but in the bed itself.
If, nevertheless, a person is sure that the sign is not accidental and will certainly work, but cannot move the bed to another place, all that remains is to simply close the door at night, and then the flow of bad energy through the room will stop, and various evil spirits will not be able to penetrate the room. When rearranging furniture, it is advised not only to choose a suitable place for the bed, but also to reposition the mirror if it reflects a sleeping person. It is also useful to sleep with your head in the desired direction relative to the cardinal points.
Sleep with your feet towards the window
There are no special wishes about the position of your legs relative to the window. It seems that sleeping like this is not forbidden. But according to ancient legends, as you know, at night there is devilry going on outside the window; evil spirits can look through the window and, at best, take away your sleep, giving insomnia in return.
A window opening, like a door, is a portal to another world, another dimension. In order not to activate other worlds, it is better to move your feet away from the window.
There are also jokes about this: if you sleep with your feet towards the window, you can simply catch a cold, because there is often draft and blowing from the window.
Believe it or not?
Everyone gives the answer to this simple question for themselves. There are people who, even when visiting, can rearrange the bed. Alternatively, lie with your feet towards the head of the bed. They simply experience discomfort from standing with their feet towards the door, which is why a night's sleep does not bring rest.
There is no place for superstitions in the modern world. At the same time, there is no logical explanation for the fact that insomnia and other sleep disorders may occur when feet are positioned towards the door.
There is another point of view. Even in dreams, people strive to control what is happening. The door represents a danger (we are not talking about dark forces so much as any negative phenomenon in general). For a quick reaction, they go to bed in such a way that they can see the doorway immediately after waking up.
Opposing opinions suggest that for a comfortable and relaxing holiday, it is necessary to arrange a sleeping place based on your own feelings. A sign is not a reason to believe in it and strictly follow it.
Head to the window
Here's what theorists and practitioners of proper sleep from different nations and religions say about this: according to Feng Shui philosophy, it is strictly forbidden to go to bed with your head towards the window.
Otherwise, you will make enemies, terrible troubles at work and love relationships, and health problems will begin. In other words, you will bring trouble into your life. Our ancestors believed that various monsters from the other world were walking and having fun outside the window at night, so it was better to lie away from the horse with both your head and feet. A person will lose all his strength and energy if an unpleasant representative of the kingdom of monsters looks in through the window at night.
But yogis and fans of this practice are happy to sleep by the window if it is located in the northern part of the apartment or faces the northeast side. Such a dream will only improve your health, things at work, and peace and harmony will reign in the family.
If we look at this issue from a practical angle, then it is not recommended to sleep with your head towards the window simply because at night you may be disturbed by lanterns, moonlight, or car noise if the window faces the roadway. After all, there is a risk of catching a cold and getting sick if you have the habit of opening a window or vent for night ventilation.
Psychologists advise in any case to focus only on your feelings. The human body always seeks harmony. Therefore, purely subconsciously, you should feel where it is comfortable for your head to lie during sleep.
North
North - healing, both physical and moral. It helps the body get rid of harmful toxins, viruses and emotional disorders. In difficult moments, when the moral pressure on you is especially great, then this side of the world is most suitable for easing this influence. Undoubtedly, this will greatly improve your well-being and mood, which will affect all types of activities.
It is also worth mentioning the fact that many doctors placed patients this way, supplementing standard treatment with this technique. This is still practiced in many countries (of course, in combination with standard procedures, and not instead of them).
Feng Shui Dream
Fans of arranging things in their home, according to the traditions of Feng Shui, have long known how to sleep correctly in order to attract happiness, joy, money and harmony into their lives. Let's take a closer look at the cardinal directions in your bedroom. This is very important to consider if you care about the well-being and health of your family.
Head north
If you are tired, you are tormented by problems and you have long forgotten what harmony with yourself is, then it’s time to fall asleep with your head facing north. This is what all feng shui masters advise. This direction will bring a fresh stream of inspiration, new ideas, pleasant and useful acquaintances into your life.
This head position will also have a positive effect on the relationship between the spouses. After some time, a spiritual connection will be established between them, quarrels will become a rare occurrence in such a family.
South
This position of the body during sleep is suitable for all those who want to improve their financial situation.
If you sleep with your head facing south for a long time, your performance will increase, and accordingly, such activity will bring good income. But it’s better to sleep in a bedroom in the south alone and in a good mood. If you are experiencing stress, then it is advisable to choose a different head position for sleep, not the south side, but the same north, for example.
To the East
This situation will open new doors for you. You will feel strength, vigor, and a surge of energy. If necessary, go to the east side.
To the west
This head position is suitable for creative people who are looking for themselves and their place in life. New ideas, plans, discoveries - all this will happen if you sleep in the west. In addition, as practice shows, sleeping with your head to the west develops sensual relationships.
To the northeast
Almost every one of us always finds it difficult to make some important decision or choice. Doubts will be dispelled if you sleep with your head in the northeast direction. I fell asleep in the northeast, and my anxious thoughts vanished!
To the southeast
A good position for people suffering from an inferiority complex. If you sleep with your head to the southeast, then over time you can see yourself in a new light, on the other hand, gain confidence in your abilities and begin to act in the right direction, overcoming yourself.
To the northwest
This direction is for those who want to become a leader. Sleeping on the northwest side of your bedroom will help you organize your life in such a way as to demonstrate your leadership abilities, gain stability and confidence in the future.
To the southwest
