According to my Gua number and to enhance quality of my relationship, I have recently shifted my bed to face the foot of my bed SE and the crown of my head facing NW. However, I just read that it's not good for the mirror in a bedroom to face the bed and in this new position, my mirror is behind the head of my crown by 2 metres. I can't see my reflection in the mirror whilst sleeping. Does this mean i'm pretty safe cos the mirror is behind me as opposed to in front of(facing) me? I'm a bit confused.

Dear Nisha,
Actually, the concern of a mirror facing the bed stems from the belief that when one sleeps, some Chinese belief that the spirit leaves the body.
When doing so, it may get a "shock" to see itself in the mirror.
This is why, often, numerous Feng Shui books or practitioners does not favour having a mirror facing the bed.
However, in the past I had mentioned that more importantly, it has to do with "how sensitive" we are or are not.
For example, contrary to the above belief, we could say that when we sleep, our spirit, leaves our body. And, because it wants to look nice, look into the mirror and combs his/her hair before, going off!
2. Overall, we often hear that some people literally do not feel anything even if there are mirrors all round the bedroom. They can sleep comfortably.
While others who are more sensitive feel uncomfortable with a mirror in the bedroom. (Most likely these are the people, who read too much Feng Shui books on do's and don'ts!)
3. When television was invented, and nowadays, almost all bedrooms have tv sets. Some practitioners say that having a tv set facing the bed is inauspicious, since the tv set screen is like a mirror.
4. But how often if ever do we read in the newspaper: "Mr X moved in to new apartment, placed a tv set in his bedroom and drop dead???"
5. Many new tv sets even have non-reflective screens e.g. lcd monitors etc...
6. Therefore, it all boils down to how sensitive are we?
7. In your situation, if you do sleep comfortably, then, there is no issue even if the mirror is placed at the head of the bed or anywhere in the bedroom.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
