Guidelines for windows and back doors

[sun888_99]

Dear robert and cecil,
Are there any feng shui guide lines for the windows and the back doors? Thanks

Hi,
This is a good question. In general, some of the ancient practises may not be applicable to certain countries or location.
In China, e.g. in Beijing the Chinese usually have the main doors at the South cardinal point. The problem with having windows or doors at the North is because either of the cold winds from the North or the `yellow' dust at the North.
We can understand that such situations do not apply to many people in the world.
In our present situation, ideally, if you are living in a landed property, to safeguard your home, you should have a backdoor but with good set of locks or even an alarm sensor at the back of the house.
More importantly, you should apply the Four Symbolic animals concept and try to avoid having water positions behind the house. Here, try to create a "tortise back" or solid backing at the house e.g. with a good fencing and privacy e.g. bushes along the fencing or even have a brick wall fencing.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
