What if the staircase faces a bedroom?

[Administrator]

Dear Caroline,
The staircase you described is an excellent choice i.e. a staircase should
have a `landing' and makes a turn. A staircase that goes straight down is
considered inauspicious.
Preferably the staircase should have 1, 2, 5,10 ,13 14, 17 or 22 steps.
For one of the bedroom door that faces the staircase directly, there is no
much you can do other than at the stair case landing place a mirror (normal
mirror) provided this area does not have glass panelling or is part of the
external wall / glass area. The purpose is to enhance the qi.
The last resort is to close the bedroom door when not in use if you are
unable to relocate the door futher to one side.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hello Cecil,
We are building a new house but unfortunately, one bedroom door faces the
stairway directly. The staircase does not go straight down, it makes one
turn. What are the implications of that situation and how can I correct it?
Thank you!

Dear Cecil,
Why is the staircase facing the bedroom considered inauspicious?
I have the same situation as the person who asked the question about stairs. Is it because chi will "run down" the stairs and out of the bedroom? Besides the mirror you suggested, could I place a small round-leafed plant on or near where the staircase "turns"-- thereby catching the chi?
Thanks for indulging my curiosity. :o)

Dear Joe,
A staircase facing the bedroom door is considered inauspicious because of
Sha Qi. This is because of the negative flow of Qi of the staircase that
flows directly into the bedroom (if the door is not closed). No matter if
the stairs is facing the bedroom i.e. upwards movement or at the main
entrance door, you see the staircase, both are considered inauspicious.
A staircase should not go straight up but have a turn or landing is better
to reduce Sha Qi. Placing a mirror at the landing or turn is not compulsory.
Normally if space permits, a plant at one side of the steps (at ground
level) is useful.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
