Hi!

I just moved into a new place, and I'm doing a good job figuring out where to place my bed (the door is on the bottom lefthand corner, so I'm putting my bed on the righthand wall, I just haven't figured out which bagua to put it in yet), but I just figured out that the windows to the room have this plastic on them, making it so that I cannot open them, for fresh air. Should I just get a cool-mist humidifier, like I was planning on doing anyway, to keep the Chi flowing? Otherwise, I am not sure how it would work. I guess something happened to the window panes before I got here, but either way, I can't open the window. I should also mention that the window is in the center of the top wall of the room. What should I do?

Thank you kindly,
Eva S.

1. Yes, a bedroom should be well ventilated. And moving is generally good: i.e. open window to allow fresh air.

2. Under commonsense approach to Feng Shui, the windows can be opened (fully or partially) so long as :-

2.1. If strong winds, then make sure that the bed (face/head) is directly away from this window. Best that the bed is away from the bed.

2.2. Moving "air" such as placing a fan to circulate air within the bedroom is always a plus point.

2.3. For those who have the privilege of turning on air con; it is best that the air-con should not be located above one's bed-head. As cold winds flow downwards and at night, if air con is turned on, cold air would blow directly and sink towards one's face.

2.4. For air-cons best that they are placed on the side of a bedroom or not directly facing the bed at all.

3. This machine introduces more mositure into a bedroom. It is often best used in conjunction with an air-con. Sleeping in an air-con room say 24 hours a day, would literally dry our skin. Thus the cool-mist would introduce moisture.

4. In a confined bedroom, where there is no proper circulation of air, to the extreme, one using such a cool-mist humidifier may introduce more moulds or fungi to grow - especially those living in homes that use wooden panel walls. If your walls are solid concrete/bricks then not much of an issue. If not, one may "literally even grow "mushrooms" or "toadstools" in one's bedroom!
