Is it okay to sleep on the side of the bed that is not directly in the doorway?

Yes, you could do that but I'm not sure how much that would help. Isn't there anything else in your house that you can place between the foot of your bed and the door? It doesn't have to be a big room divider or screen that blocks your view of the door completely.

A bookcase or small wardrobe will work just fine. :).

I don't have a bookcase or small wardrobe. I read in a Feng Shui article, that I could place a Ottoman between the bed and the doorway. I do have an ottoman, so I've been using this instead.

Will this suffice? If not, any other suggestions would be helpful and can you tell me ,if whatever you're placing between the foot of the bed and the doorway, is this used to redirect the flow of chi since these items don't entirely block the doorway? Thanks again.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
