Daily practice: Nine Star Ki in daily life: (1) Sleep with your head pointing North every night — Japanese Feng Shui treats this as critical for sleep quality, dreams, and next-day energy. (2) Orient your work desk to face South — the direction your star receives Qi most fully. (3) Wear Purple/Red as at least one item a day.
