Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 1, 2009 Staff Share Posted September 1, 2009 1. In Asia, this is very common. And it range from private homes, apartments.2. The modern concept of small office/home office, or SOHO, have very high ceilings.3. In fact, Shapes and Forms Feng Shui especially homes that can benefit from sum of ten under Flying Star should have this type of characteristics.4. Looking out of the window, if you see a tree trunk, then this is considered a poison arrow or sha qi. Use a blind or screen or day curtains is good enough to neutralise it.

myfs_133600 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Does this mean I should avoid having the blinds open to look outside? Is the big loft window still considered different than the main entrance door to the home?What to do about the staircase that you see upon opening the entrance door?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 1, 2009 Staff Share Posted September 1, 2009 1. If you see the trunk of a tree "slicing" thru the window, it is considered a poison arrow. But if these are fine branches with or without leaves, it is a non-issue. An alternative is the placement of a convex mirror at waist level on the outside of the window. This conVEX mirror should be facing the tree trunk.2. Sometimes, it may only be an illusion that of a tree trunk slicing towards the window. Often, if the tree (tree trunk) is on the side of the window, this is not considered a poison arrow. The tree (trunk) must be directly facing the window or tangent to it.3. If it is the back of the staircase, it is often a non-issue. The main issue is to see the staircases sloping down towards the main door. A simple partition or a screen can be used to block the view of the staircase from the main door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
