BED UNDER A SLOPED CEILING:
FENG SHUI SOLUTIONS FOR A BED UNDER A SLOPED CEILING

Why is a bed under a sloped ceiling considered bad feng shui?
When you spend time under a sloped ceiling, your energy is being heavily constricted and is under constant pressure. As nighttime is the only time when your body can do the deep work of regenerating itself, sleeping under a sloped ceiling restricts this work, thus one's health may suffer. Sleeping in a bed under a sloped ceiling can also contribute to emotional instability and low energy.

What exactly do you mean by "a bed under a sloped ceiling"?
A bed under a sloped ceiling means a bed located under a sloped ceiling. Usually you will see the bed with the headboard located under the lowest part of the sloped ceiling, as, in most cases, the highest part of a sloped ceiling is in the center of the room.

How can I remedy the feng shui effect of a bed under a sloped ceiling?
If you have to sleep in a bedroom with sloped ceiling, see if you can locate your bed (especially your headboard) under the highest part of the sloped ceiling. This will usually be the part where there is a triangle-like configuration in the ceiling and the energy will feel slightly elevated.

If you cannot move your headboard from under the lowest part of the sloped ceiling, be sure to have the ceiling painted in a very light color (actually, best to have the same light color on the walls and on the ceiling.)

You can also get creative and paint a mural on your sloped ceiling over the bed. Choose a topic or an image with an inspiring energy of expansion, freedom and openness to counter-balance the heavy and constricting energy of the sloped ceiling. How about an open sky mural with fresh, clear blue sky and just a slight presence of soft white clouds? It does feel better already!

However, just as with the bed under the window feng shui advice, no matter how well you implement the suggested feng shui steps, you still cannot have a very good feng shui bedroom with a bed under a sloped ceiling. You can make it better, but you cannot make it perfect.

Make the best of a bed under a sloped ceiling situation, but also see how you can manifest a better feng shui bedroom situation in your future.
