This link will tell you which addresses are best for you. Even if your bedroom is in the southwestern part of the house and this is not a good direction for you, you can still orient your bed so that your head is pointing in one of your good directions.

Place it in the west corner if it is metallic in color or if it is painted white, silver or gold.

COMPUTER, PHONE AND STEREO
Place the phone in the northwest corner of the room to attract more helpful people into your life.
Keep the stereo playing low while you’re away to keep the energy going in your room and attract helpful people.
DECORATIONS, ETC.
Mirrors: Not recommended in the bedroom. If used, make sure it cannot be seen from the bed.
Lamps: Place one in the South (fame and recognition; a lava lamp is great here!), the NE (educational luck), and the SW (to help you with your sweetie or bring one if you don’t already have one — lava lamps they’re great here too!). The lamps will energize these areas.
Photos: Make sure these positive images are the ones that make you happy. Violent, dark or melancholic images are not suitable for a place of rest and relaxation.
Problems with mom and dad? Place a happy photo of your family in the east corner of your room to help make these relationships easier and more harmonious.
Looking for a new love? Place a picture of your heart’s desire on SW to help this relationship, or to foster a new relationship, place a picture of your “ideal” person here.
Announcement table: Hang them on the south wall of your room. Pin pictures of famous people, letters of recognition, awards, ribbons, or certificates here for more recognition. Any type of achievement is perfect for this location.
Perch that illuminates this area is especially useful! Place trophies on a shelf in this location for continued success and recognition. Paint this board red for an extra boost in recognition energy!
Ceiling fans: they are not recommended because they displace energy from the body during sleep; if used, place a small red dot on each blade.
Disorder: If you are not feeling well or have problems in your life, clear your space. Get a box and do a thorough cleaning. This does not mean that you have to throw things away.
Store them in the garage or attic. If after a while you don’t use any of these things, then donate them to charity. Take note of how you feel once your room is clear.
With a harmonious environment, you will surely be more comfortable, enjoy yourself more and do better in life. If you’ve used any of these tips and found them helpful, I’d love to hear about it! I am always interested in hearing from teenagers who have benefited from feng shui! Leave me a note here.
