Definition: What Is Command Position?
It's the optimal placement where you can see the entry without being directly in its path, with a wall or headboard behind for support. This reduces startle response and promotes restorative sleep and productivity.
How to Place Your Bed
- Choose a wall that allows you to see the door.
- Keep the bed out of direct line with the door.
- Use a solid headboard and avoid windows right behind.
- Balance the room with matching nightstands and soft lighting.
How to Place Your Desk
- Face the door diagonally; avoid turning your back to entries.
- Ensure a solid wall behind you or add a screen/bookshelf.
- Manage cables/clutter to keep chi flowing.
How to Place Your Stove
- Aim for sight of the kitchen entry when cooking (use a mirror if needed).
- Avoid placing the stove under a window or directly opposite the sink.
- Stabilize Fire with balanced Earth and Metal around.
