The command position is a highly sought-after concept in the world of Feng Shui. Also known as the armchair position, it is associated with form school Feng Shui and refers to a layout configuration that allows a person to rest in a powerful position. In this article, we will explore the key elements of the command position and how you can create it in your own space.
Creating the Command Position
To identify or set up a command position, there are several conditions that must be met:
Open space on both sides
Whether it's a bed frame or a sofa set, the furniture must be positioned with open spaces on both sides. This means that neither the left nor the right side of the furniture should be against a wall. The lack of open space on either side can disrupt the flow of energy and result in a lack of good luck.
Backing support
Having backing support is crucial for a command position. Whether it's a solid wall, a partition screen, or a tall cabinet, the backing should be strong and sturdy. This support from the elements enhances the energy flow and provides a sense of security.
Open spaces in front
The presence of open space in front of the command position allows positive energy to gather and enhance your luck. On the contrary, facing a wall can hinder the flow of energy. If the open space in front of the command position aligns with a favorable water star, it can further amplify the auspicious energy.
No other comparable positions
The command position should be unique and hold undisputed authority. In the same way, a department head wouldn't feel like the boss if a supervisor had an office as big as theirs, there should be no other comparable command positions in the space. Any lingering doubt regarding its status would diminish its effectiveness.
Not in line with doors
Command positions should avoid being in line with doors or pillars. These structural forms can act as knives, cutting through the energy flow. Any areas where you rest, such as a dining table or a bed, should steer clear of these "lines" to maximize the benefits of positive Feng Shui and minimize the risk of injuries and health ailments.
Not under a beam
Resting under a beam is considered a Feng Shui problem. An ideal command position avoids placing you directly under a beam, as it can create similar issues as being in line with doors or pillars.
The Ideal vs. the Possible
While it is ideal to set up a perfect command position, sometimes the layout of your space may not allow for it. However, even if you can't meet all the criteria, it's still better to have a command position that meets some of the requirements than to have none at all. Just like having a phone with a less powerful processor is better than having no phone at all, do what you can with what you have.
Remember, the command position is a concept that harnesses the power of energy flow and positioning. By creating a command position in your space, you can enhance your luck, improve your well-being, and create a harmonious environment. So why not give it a try and see the positive changes it brings to your life?
