Dear Anon,

I did read about one new person who called herself a Master mentioned that it is inauspicious to sleep on a mattress floor simply because `Qi' cannot flow under the bed.

Contrary to such `believes' in ancient times, many people do sleep on the floor.

Even today, a large portion of the Japanese people are sleeping on the floor on a mattress. Only modern Japanese e.g. working overseas or cannot be avoide staying at a hotel sleep on the bed.

In a very broad sense, this can be called `peanuts' Feng Shui i.e. looking at small issues and not looking at the bigger picture such as a beam above the head or the bed opposite (on the same wall) as the toilet bowl.

It is best to look at the big picture rather then these small things. Another thing is that many people are sleeping on `box' beds with springs with a bottom base unit. The clearance below the bed is as low as the wheel clearance of the bed. It is not going to make a difference in such a situation as say the person sleeping on the bed is at least 2 or 3 feet above the floor area.

Furthermore, most of us close the bedroom doors also.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
