Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

Feng Shui in Bed

In Feng Shui, there’s meaning in the way we position ourselves in bed before slumber. Depending on the direction your head faces, you work on different things.

North: Enhances physical manifestations and balance
East: Speeds up life- good for depression/slugishness
South: Enhances ability to remember dreams/develop intuition
West: Slows life down- good for stress/ hyperacitivity

The way it’s taught, it reads, N/S/E/W, as they are naturally counter to each other, the opposites, seemingly offering opposite effects.

Armed with that knowledge, I quickly got out my compass to see what I’d been working on for the past eight months. I was facing west. That was probably best for me, but south was intriguing, so I slept facing south. And I did have amazing dreams (but I always do). Sometimes, I’d start out facing west, as that was habit, and I would awake, and travel south, hoping to develop my intuition. I never slept well when I did that.

So, I’m adjusting the Feng Shui teachings, here in this blog for ten-plus people to read: Always travel clockwise. If you start out west, go north first, then east (but I always skip east. I’d rather not speed things up), and then I end south. It is by far the most restless sleep of all the positions, but damn the dreams and ideas that ensue! Can’t beat it!
