The Commanding Position

The commanding position is located in the rear of the home or business. The position in the rear is understood to have the complete over site of the property. The idea is that, nothing can be going on behind your back.

The bedroom or office in this location will naturally support parental and managerial authority.

An individual room has it's own position of power, which is the location furthest from the door or entrance, situated with your back towards a solid wall in full view of the door.

In feng shui placement, this is considered the optimum location for your bed or desk. This arrangement is conducive for restful sleep and, if you are working, it supports concentration and productivity.
