The Feng Shui of Sleep. You may be aware of this, however if you are not...read on...it may change everything. The earth and human body, both have magnetic fields. Magnetic fields on the Earth are concentrated in the North and the South Pole. When you sleep with your head pointing north, your body’s magnetic field interferes with that of earth. This can fluctuate your blood pressure and can even cause heart problems. You heart needs to work harder to overcome this. If you are elderly or already a heart patient, then you might be at a higher risk of getting a hemorrhage or stroke. Our blood contains a lot of iron. When we sleep facing North, the magnetic pull of that direction attracts iron, which gets accumulated in the brain. This is the reason why many people complain of having a headache when they wake up. This can cause nightmares and sleep disorders and you can wake up tired from the "internal struggle" between your body and the planet. Some people claim that this polarity can affect blood circulation and even raise cholesterol. On a spiritual level, Hindu tradition believes that when the soul dies, it leaves the body for the north, so sleeping in that direction is incorrect. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, sleeping with your head facing east is best, southeast and south next best. In the Southern Hemisphere, west is best. By sleeping towards the east, the magnetic fields are neutralized, and sleep is balanced, promoting memory and concentration and having general health benefits.
