Feng Shui: Wealth-losing doors 破财门

Door location and its surrounding critically affect the Feng Shui of a house, especially its wealth aspect.  Below is a list of "wealth-losing doors" based on Form Feng Shui.  How these doors affecting wealth losses is not discussed here to keep this blog short. 

WEALTH-LOSING DOORS
1.  Door facing a corridor (inside a building) or road:  this is also called "heart-piercing sha" (一剑穿心 ).
2.  Door facing a downward or upward stair:  this is called "wealth retreating stair" (退财梯).  Downward stair leaks wealth whereas upward stair loses wealth opportunities to others.
3.  Door facing an elevator:  this is called "qi or energy absorbing stair" (吸气梯).  Qi or wealth energy of a house or apartment is "drawn" away by the elevator.
4.  Two or more doors in a straight-line to end of house or backdoor/ window:  Wealth energy from outside goes straight to outside of house.
5.  Door is too narrow or small, thus limiting wealth energy flow into the house.
6.  Door is damaged, broken or has cracks:  this is called "qi-leaking door" (漏气门) and implying leaking wealth.
7.  "See-three door" (三见门):  "Three" here means seeing toilet, kitchen and mirror when entering through the door.  All are not good for wealth energy.

Remedies for these doors are mostly using screen doors.  Consult a Feng Shui practitioner or take my Form Feng Shui course for remedies.

Practical Door Feng Shui for Wealth: Introduction

Note:  The following is an excerpt from "Practical Door Feng Shui for Wealth" video correspondence course.

WHY DOOR IS IMPORTANT?

Door, especially main door, is where people walk in and out, brings in good or bad energies.  Door is like the nose and mouth of a human being— needs nose to breath in fresh air and mouth to eat food to absorb life-sustaining nutrients.

Human being is smart, s/he can move his nose to breathe in fresh air and stay away from pungent smells; and goes where clean and good food is available. 

However, the main door of a house, a building, an office or factory, is not “smart” or moving by itself area with good energy or qi.  It all depends on the owner’s luck if s/he set the door in a good energy region.

“Auspiciousness and misfortune are attributed to movements”, written in Yi-jing.  Luck, be it good or bad, is due to movement in the right place or wrong place.  To increase your prosperity, you add move movements in areas with good energy (like 8-white earth star during Period 8) and avoid movements in areas with bad energy (like 5-yellow disaster star).

Door is important because it is the linkage between outside and inside energies.  It is also the platform where most movements occur when people walk in or out of the house.  As stated in previous paragraph, movement at any region of the house, depending on the nature of energy in that region (positive vs. negative) will affect the luck of its occupants.

So if main door has good energy, then occupants will enjoy good fortune.  If otherwise, they will suffer misfortune.  We have a popular saying in feng shui, "If the main door of a house worth 1000 pieces of gold, then the house only worth 4 pieces."

Here is what Master Chiang Dai Xiong, the famous Xuan Kong master who had written “Water Dragon Classic”, commented about the significance of door:

“Main door controls the prosperity and future of a family.”

“Bedroom door controls the lives of a couple.”

“You see effects after modifying a door.”

“Door is the skeleton of a house and paths are the tendons. Both should be auspicious to bring prosperity.  If door is auspicious but paths are not, then the consequences are still negative.”

The basic principle of door placement is simple:  put the main door in region with current timely water star (like 8 during Period 8) with Flying Star or put it in a Period 8 (for current period) gua line.

“Paths” means the roads leading to doors. Road should bring in “timely” or auspicious qi or energy of current Period, just like the door. 

Before we start different theories of door placement, .................

CASTLE GATE JUNIOR

The following is taken from Hermit Bok Hok Ming's book, "22 methods to energize (wang) your house and neutralize negative energies (sha)". Mr. Bok has written over 40 Feng Shui books in Hong Kong. If he were the Feng Shui course marketing folks in the west, he would probably somehow be marketed as "great great supreme master". Calling himself "hermit" shows his modesty or humility. He is not even over 50 years old. His grand father was a Feng Shui practitioner.

This junior version of Castle Gate method is derived from Master Jiang Da Xiong's "Do Ti Bao Jao Classic". Castle Gate method is used to energize (wang) house fortune. This method is considered "advanced" Feng Shui technique. The "junior" version is the first part of the castle gate theory, which can be easily grasped by any idiot. The second part is not for idiot though.

In residential Feng Shui, we can use Castle Gate method to place some Feng Shui items to energize a house.

Here are some examples of such items:

1. Aquarium or water items with moving water or fishes

2. Pendulum clocks -- movement of pendulum

3. TV-- sound, electric current and magnetic power

4. Hi-Fi stereo-- sound, electric current and magnetic power

5. Air-conditioner-- sound, electric current, air current and magnetic power

6. Electric fan-- electric current, air current and magnetic power

Essentially, anything that move will energize the house, provided it is placed in the right place.

By definition, castle gate is the two sides of the facing direction.

To understand the logic of this method, you need to know the former heaven bagua (He Tu).

In He Tu, there are 5 pairs of numbers, which represents directions and one of the 5 elements.

They are:

North 1 NW 6 (represents water as a pair)

SW 2 W 7 ( fire )

East 3 NE 8 ( wood )

SE 4 S 9 ( metal )

center5 10 ( earth, not used)

According to Castle Gate theory, the auspicious direction of a building is derived from the facing direction. And the direction that "pairs" with the facing direction according to He Tu is the auspicious direction for Castle Gate.

You may already have figured out the auspicious location for placing Feng Shui items for your own house.

Top-3 Questions in Feng Shui Seminars

The followings are the top-3 questions asked by
students during my Feng Shui Seminars:

1. How to measure facing of a house/ apartment?
Depends on your teacher, it can be:
-- based on the main door
-- based on the yang side
-- based on the water side
-- based on the main gate of the building
-- based on the mountain side
...... and more fun choices!

2. How to change "heaven's heart" or Period of a
house/ apartment?
I have over ten recipes for this one, from very
expensive ones to almost free one:
-- major remodelling
-- open a hole in the roof and let the sun shine in
for over 49+ days
-- strike the center ceiling of an apartment until you
see steel bar...
-- stop cooking for a certain period of time
-- move out for at least 49 days
....... and more!

3. Do you put water in the NE side of your house?
Depends on your teacher, it could be:
-- OK to put water in NE
-- not OK to put water in NE
-- put fire, you idiot!
-- put horses, you smarty!
-- put what???

BTW, if you get good answers to these top-3 questions,
you may set up shop and drive me out of business :.)0
