Why can't you sleep with your feet facing the door?

A person combines two spheres of life activity at once: biological and social parts. Nature rewarded him with high intelligence and the ability to think. In addition, a person is distinguished by his desire to understand the world and discover new knowledge. The process of social development and various discoveries are closely interconnected.

Thanks to his inquisitive mind and curiosity, man actively developed science and made new discoveries. Nowadays, new ideas and inventions appear every day aimed at improving the quality of life. They are actively used and implemented in all spheres of human activity.

However, a person was not always able to find out the answers to the questions of interest. Many riddles remained unanswered, and unknown and incomprehensible phenomena were explained by mystical events, fantastic creatures... Currently, science has found answers and explanations to most riddles, but fantastic events have become entrenched among different peoples in the form of traditions and signs.

Why can’t you sleep with your feet facing the door according to Christian traditions?

In our article we will talk about a sign associated with sleep. There is a belief that while sleeping, a sleeping person should not have his feet facing the door. This tradition does not have specific roots, so it also has several explanations.The most natural and plausible of them is the explanation from a Christian point of view.

According to this version, this custom is associated with a funeral rite, during which the deceased is carried out through the door feet first. It is in this position that a person is sent on his last journey, so it is not recommended for living people to sleep like this. Also, since ancient times, people have compared sleep with a “short death”, similar in appearance to real death. During sleep, it is not recommended to allow evil spirits and flows of negative energy into the body and mind. It is advised not to sleep towards the aisle with your feet first.

IMPORTANT: This explanation is based primarily on human perception and the relationship between the unpleasant event and sleep location.

Why not according to Feng Shui?

Another interesting point of view is an explanation based on a philosophical attitude to life and perception of reality. According to Chinese wisdom, everything in the world has its own communication channels and energy flows. These flows are divided into internal and external; to choose the best location, you need to find harmony between the energy fields.

Thanks to this philosophical direction, sites for the construction of buildings and burial sites are selected. In the house, according to this teaching, a place is selected for wakefulness and rest, eating and taking water procedures. According to philosophy, the door and window are the source of energy penetration. They serve as gateways for energy waves to enter, and these waves do not always carry a positive charge.

In order to ensure proper rest, and to wake up well-rested and alert in the morning, it is necessary to properly arrange the furniture and position the bed so that it does not intersect with the lines of energy flows.It’s better to put a computer desk in its place so that fresh ideas always come to mind and the work process is a joy.

Is it possible to sleep with your head towards the door?

Many people wonder about the position of the body at night. If you cannot sleep with your feet towards the door, then you can decide that placing your head towards the doorway, on the contrary, will be a favorable solution for the body. But this does not bring anything good for consciousness and relaxation.

There are traditions and superstitions according to which it is forbidden to go to bed with your head towards the door (entrance or interior). According to some versions, evil spirits can jinx you; according to philosophical ideas, life energy should not be directed through the head. This can lead to anxiety, a feeling of fear, and in the morning you will feel heaviness and lethargy.

IMPORTANT: Whether you should believe all the signs depends on you. Scientists believe that it is necessary to maintain optimal temperature and lighting in the house, and prevent drafts, and they are especially felt near windows and doorways. Therefore, there is some truth in the traditions.
