Have you seen Dr. Fred Bell's bed pyramids? ]]>This is certainly not the case in China where fish, frogs, plants, coins, tassels, etc.. have great influence and are extremely effective because people "believe" in what they represent and they "believe" to be effective. Also, please do not negate the practitioner's "intent" which can be very effective because he/she "believes" it so. Esoteric Black Hat is magic, but real magic which loves, respects and honors Chi. It is not the only valid approach, but it truly spiritual.
Yes, I know I was around people practicing Black Hat Feng Shui. It was a very high-end gig with people flying to China and such to study with Grand Masters. I found a lot of the practices-making wealth jars and mirrors everywhere and chimes and all that to yes, be magic, and since it used the spiritual plane, yes spiritual, but I found that a lot of what people wanted from it was magic charms to make their lives better (richer, mate, etc.) without doing any of the inner work to change themselves.-lala
]]>I would suggest reading up on Ergonomics, Feng Shui "Placement" (totally different than from conventional Feng Shui techniques), spatial energetics and alignment of subtle energies within environments.
Or modern environmental space design. I worked in a Feng Shui store and I think that you are referring to the difference between the knick-knack-tassles-frogs-coins Feng Shui and the geomantic roots of Feng Shui which are true space awareness and a type of irrigation and environmental design science. The decorative school of Feng Shui is superstitious hooey IMO and the space awareness school if very valuable if you don't take the feudal-lord philosophy of early Feng Shui along with the space harmony study.
and:
Beds on the ground keep people grounded and energetically bonded with the earth. Feng Shui conditions.
However, I always heard people say that you should have chi circulating on all sides of the bed and underneath as well, i.e., you would not want the sides of the bed buttressed on a wall (but do want a headboard to "ground") and you'd want the bed elevated from the ground to allow chi to circulate underneath. There are so many schools of thought, though.lala
