Object Behind Door in Helpful Area

[myfs_89317]

Hi. My questions concern our master bedroom.
1. The room beneath our bedroom is larger, leaving a small roof outside of some windows in our bedroom. Thus, I am unclear as to whether this outer roof represents missing space in the house gua, and if so, what I should do about it. The bedroom is located over what is the career/health area and the roof is above the fame/reputation area.
2. (more of an immediate concern for me)
The doorway into our room is located on a small angled wall which has been 'cured' with metal chimes, hanging on either side of the doorway. The door is located in the helpful/travel area and opens against the right wall. i had previously hung travel pictures behind the door, as well as placed other items related to travel/help there until reading yesterday that nothing must be located behind the door. I have removed all items and the area feels bare now. Is it necessary to remove all these items, is there a way to 'cure' the pictures, items, so they can remain behind the door, or how can I enhance the travel area when the only wall space is behind the door. The other side of the doorway/angled wall has a small amount of space to hang a small token on the wall, but no pictures. The only area I can think to treat is the space under a kilim rug, perhaps a photo, or something.
Thank you very much.

Always take a top-down view approach. For example, if you have a layout, plan, try to check to see if this can either be:

1. a protrusion or
2. an indent (missing corner)
Usually, if your house is nearly rectangle all round; this missing corner or protrusion is often not the main concern.
The main concern is whether there are any external threats around.

career/health area and the
roof is above the
fame/reputation area.

1. This type of "Feng Shui" can be classified as pathetic.
2. Firstly, this is very popular with authors writing English books, which first appeared in the early 1980's.
3. Without much imagination, many `create' people became overnight authors.
4. What can be so simple as writing such a book within days or week with chapters like:
Chapter 1: North - Career Sector
Chapter 2: SW - Romance Sector
This is the type of commercialisation that lead many into trouble.

fame/reputation area.

5. This is a modern invention. Be my guess whether it can work.
Hint: it is too general to be of any use to everyone in the whole world.

The doorway into our room is
located on a small angled wall
which has been 'cured' with
metal chimes, hanging on
either side of the doorway.

More importantly, a bedroom should be as rectangular as possible.
It would be good if you can provide a sketch, for a better understanding of the situation.
Hmm.. metal chimes... Is this really needed?

The door is located in the
helpful/travel area and opens
against the right wall. i had
previously hung travel
pictures behind the door, as
well as placed other items
related to travel/help there
until reading yesterday that
nothing must be located behind
the door. I have removed all
items and the area feels bare
now. Is it necessary to
remove all these items, is
there a way to 'cure' the
pictures, items, so they can
remain behind the door, or how
can I enhance the travel area
when the only wall space is
behind the door. The other
side of the doorway/angled
wall has a small amount of
space to hang a small token on
the wall, but no pictures.
The only area I can think to
treat is the space under a

Hmm... helpful/travel; this is an authentic Feng Shui forum and such things are never discussed here.
If we sit down properly to analyse, this type of modern invention REQUIRES everyone to purchase something material.
The only people laughing their way to the banks are the producers of commercial goods.
It will always end up with a hole in our pockets.
Like the tobacco companies, these type of gimmick will never end as long as there is a readily available market for it.

Dear Anon,
1. The best way to understand web sites that promote: e.g. Helpful/travel, fame and reputation is to check out their PRODUCTS page.
2. In my opinion, in many or most situations, you will invariably see some or even many types of goods (at very high mark-up price) with the aim of making profits out of everyone.
3. This is especially in the USA: If we ever want to consult a FS practitioner in your area; ask this question:-
"Is your FS fees fixed?"
This is because, the FS fees may be stated at US$150, but when the FS practitioner comes, he/she may cart along a full suitcase of "valuable" FS items. At the end of the session, your total audit bill may come to as much as US$1,000.
Remember, when the FS practitioner leaves, you will be permanently stuck with all these clutter.
4. Another good question is:
"If you are asking me to do enhancements, YOU MUST allow me to understand what you are trying to neutralise based on Yin and Yang and/or The Five Elements concept".
Anything else, is suspect! Caveat Emptor: Let the buyer beware!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
