Subject: Bed placement and opposing doors and windows

> I am new to Feng Shui and have checked a few books and the archives here
to no avail. My wife and I have 2 immediate problems, both related to our
apartment having our entrance doors opposing windows. Our Apartment is a
bisected rectangle with a triple window in each outboard room (Living room &
Bedroom on exterior wall).

> 1. Our entrance (although a little narrow has a large mirror and good
lighting) is in a direct path with the living room windows. (Entrance >
Dining Room > Living Room > Triple window) Can I use a screen (or other
suggestion) to interfere with qi flow? Does only the most direct window
count? What if they are kept closed 90% of the time?



The concept here is to get Qi to meander slowly circulating into the room.

The most effective method is as you mentioned is to use a screen closer to
the door area so that Qi that comes in thru the main entrance can slowly
meander into the house. - Usually this is the best method. The screen in
such a situation need not be full height but it should at least cover 3
quarters of the door (height).

There are other alternatives like closing this side of the window so that Qi
does not flow directly out of the house. This is an option you can explore.
Here, a curtain would be useful if this is the sliding glass area.

> 2. Bedroom has same problem, wall with door and closet opposes windows.
But compounding the problem is that our most favorable bed position (Both
sector and direction) are on the wall directly in between the door and
window. (right now the bed is on the opposite wall, not in line with
door/window... but it is in an unfavorable sector and direction. Again, can
I use a screen? not open windows? (or suggestions, of course).

If you can try to close that side of the window wherethe door is directly
opposite the windows. Again, curtains can help in such a situation.

For the bed placement, priority should go to it placed based on good Shapes
and Form.

Only after the above condition has been met, then you can look at favourable
or unfavourable directions based on the Eight house. Even if it is an
unfavourable direction, not much can be done about the situation other than
to let the partner with a better auspicious sector sleep closer to it while
the other partner or spouse sleep further away.

For example, if the sector is SW and it is an auspicious sector for the
husband, while it is an inauspicious sector for the wife, the husband should
sleep in the bed closest to the SW sector while the wife, sleeps further to
the other side. The husband, then `acts' like a `shield'.

Warmest Regards,
