Poison Arrow at my main door

[alvinong]

Hi,
I lived in a public apartment block. Recently, I noticed that my neighbour block has it corner pointing directly at my main entrance door.
I have thought about using the Pakua to counter this but I could not locate a place to hang the mirror. If I stand to left or right side of the door, the poison arrow will not be visible. To hang it on top of the door, the mirror will not be able to fully reflect the poison arrow. A full view of the poison arrow can be seen by stand at the center of the entrance.
Is it effective if I am to make a strong bracket mounted rigidly to the door-frame and has the Pakua hang on it?
Is there any other way of countering this poison arrow beside the Pakua or cannon? I could not plant any thing in front of the door as it is a common corridor.
My apartment is sitting 58 deg and facing 238 deg, age 7 apartment and the main door is facing North-East direction and I am a yang metal person.
Appreciate your advise.
Thank you.

Dear Alvin,
In your situation, there are a THREE other alternatives other than using the
pakua:-
1. If your main entrance is `ground level' with the exterior, you can use
either (a). a semi-circle carpet i.e. have it `radiate' outwards or (b).
permanently tile it on the ground. In addition to this, it should have
`spokes' radiating out of the carpet e.g. like the rays of the sun. This is
symbolic of a Chinese curved knife (without the handle).
2. If there are a few steps that you need to climb inorder to get to the
main entrance. Here, you can also use semi-circular steps which act as shown
in para 1 above.
3. Tilt the main door to a position that is favourable to your 8 house
template. This kills `two birds with one stone' but if you do so, please
seek the assistance from a Feng Shui Master to do so.
Regarding your question on the Pakua:-
You should hang it in the middle above the main entrance door. Yes, you can
mount a bracket to the top door-frame.
Hope that helps.

Hi Cecil,
Thank you for the speedy reply.
I seek some clarification to your suggestions.
My unit is located on the 13rd floor of the apartment block. Regulations do not allow occupants to shift their main entrance door neither are raise steps allow at the exterior of the entrance.
Is it effective to put the semi circle carpet at the exterior of the entrance even if the poison arrow is NOT visible at "ground level"?
If the Pakua is hung above the door, the poison arrow will be reflected only partially. Can it still deflect the "Sha Chi"?
I intend to mount the Pakua below the door-frame with a solid bracket and the height is high enough such that it will not hinder any human movement in and out of the main door. Is this method acceptable?
A Thousand Thanks for your assistance.

Dear Alvin,
I need to clarify with you. Earlier, I was not aware that your unit is
located on the 13th floor. You mentioned that there is a neighbour's poison
arrow. When we consider a `posion arrow' for an apartment block, the sharp
point should be the same level as your apartment.
Can you clarify the above? I need to find out more before going in depth or
advising you whether it is or not necessary to implement a `cure' for the
situation.
Generally, the pakua is used as an `offensive' tool in Feng Shui to cure a
poision arrow. A " milder " but equally effective method is to use a
semi-circle carpet or even specially designed floor tiles designed in a
semi-cirlce on the floor. Plus you still need to add designs e.g. the rays
of the sun `pointing' outwards or like spoke wheels, pointing outwards on
the design of the carpet or floor tiles.
The semi-cirlce carpet for example need not be at the eye level or " above
the door " to be effective. Once it is placed on the floor it is the
equivalent of or offers the same `protection' as a pakua hung above the
door. Hope this helps.

Dear Cecil,
My apology for not providing a clear description of my problem.
My unit is located on the 13rd floor of a 16th level high apartment block. The poison arrow I am referring to comes from the corner of a neighbouring apartment block of the same height situated about 30 meters away from my apartment block.
Immediately outside my unit is a common corridor which is used by all residents occupying units on the same level to have assess to stairways and passengers lift. Along the corridor, there are these window-like openings that allow one to have a view of the surrounding areas and neighbouring blocks.
One of these window-like openings is situated directly in front of my main entrance and the corner of the neighbouring apartment block can be seen pointing directly at my main entrance if I am to stand at the center of my doorway.
Is my situation "bad"?
Are the "cure" you decided so far effective enough for my case?
Thanks for the advice so far.

Yes, if you confirm that when you stand directly at your main entrance and
there is a poison arrow `cutting' your main entrance, then, there is sha
(poison arrow).

Yes, my advice will be effective for your case. Alternatively, if the
Management of your building could say install a `blind' on the window, then
you do not need the `cure' as it will not affect you. Alternatively, if
howeever, if " sun-x " or a `relective film' (on the side of the window
facing the poison arrow (to reflect it `back') is used, you do not need the
cure. If that particular location faces the west sun, maybe you could
convince your building management to install it:)
