Tile Windows

[myfs_88310]

Dear Master Cecil:

I have been educated by this Forum to understand the following:

If the front door leads directlyto a hallway, there should not be a window or a door at the end of this hallwayin the back of the house. It isone of theprimary causes of"chi" leakage.

Now, I have a wall at the end of this hallway in the back of the house. In order to let natural light comeinside the back end of the house, I plan to install glasses in that wall. As you know, the glasses are not windows. We can open windows; but, we cannot open glasses.

Do those glasses also result in "chi" leakage? Do the glasses must be installed at a height above the top of the front door to prevent "chi" leakage? Thank you for your advices.

Regards,

Jen

Dear Jen,

Thanks for your description.

From what I understand, since you are only installing glass blocks with the idea that it let's in light into the home and not an opening, then there is no direct path for qi (chi) to leak out from the front to the back of this "wall".

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Cecil:

Thanks so much for your reply.

According to the way I read it, the back can be a "glass wall" (meaning it is a completely sealed big glass panel, it is not a window or a door) even if there is a straight path between the front door and the back.

Is it considered to be a problem with respect to Feng Shui if standing at the front door area, we are able to see the back yard through this "glass wall"?

Please kindly clear my confusion. Thank you.

Warmest regards,

Jen

Dear Jen,

Yes, the idea is much like a partition or screen.

Since there is no real air moving in a straight-line between the back glass blocks towards the front door and vice-versa this is OK. Even if the back can be seen thru this glass, it is still ok.

Imagine drawing a straight arrow thru the air. If it hit's a solid object such as a glass block, then this is not a straight path directly thru to the back.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned, if the glass blocks are squarish or rectangular - piled together to form a "wall", this is OK.

Do avoid circular glass blocks - much like the pothole of a ship or those found on a ship i.e. circular windows. Here, circle is considered not auspicious especially since it could symbolise a "sinking" ship. Where, the pothole of a ship seeps in water and thus sinks a ship.
