[myfs_92560]

Dear Mr Lee,
I am confuse. Since centre of the house is at the bedroom. So this room will have all the intangible force. Is this room good ?? In this cause how shall i place my furnture in the room ?
Thanks

Dear Anon,
Often, we have to look at it from a different perspective:
1. If a room is directly at the centerpoint, often this is not as ideal - because qi often cannot `properly flow' within such a room.
2. Imagine this, often a bedroom is a place of privacy. And the only windows we can have in a room is e.g. it shares an external wall.
3. The only thing feasible for a centre bedroom is the bedroom door. I can only visual that if this room is truly at the centerpoint, there is least likelyhood that there can be any windows other than a bedroom door.
4. Given such a situation:
Unless one opens the bedroom door, often, natural light cannot filter into this room. And making it `dark'. Thus the need to turn on lights even during the day time.
Sometimes, if the house is big, light cannot filter into this room.
5. Toilets at centerpoint.
5.1 This is similar to a toilet at the centrepoint of the house.
5.2 Where possible, or preferably that a toilet should have one of it's walls shared with an external wall. If this is so, it often cannot be at the centrepoint of the house.
5.3 Often, in Feng Shui, we like to have the toilet qi dispersed as soon as possible or if possible, have some of it dispersed out of an external wall. For example, often, many public toilets have ventilation fans that are turned on blowing the toilet `air' out of the top window sharing an external wall.
5.4 Perhaps, you may not have a choice, here. Therefore, what I am trying to mention are:-
5.4.1 Often it is `unhealthy to have a bedroom at the centrepoint - as it implies - less natural air flow. The alternative is if we can turn on an aircon to circulate air.
6. It is chiefly because of such a reasoning and not because of where we should place our belongings in this room is the most critical point against a bedroom at the centrepoint of the house.
7. I believe, given the bedroom layout vis-a-vis the bedroom door, there is really not much alternatives in the placement of furniture e.g. bed, study table, wardrope. Usually, there is no issue if they are placed at the centrepoint.
Warmset Regards,
Cecil

Dear all,
1. Further to what I had mentioned, often, I mentioned that it is `inauspicious' to have a toilet at the centrepoint.
2. Much of Feng Shui is about `commonsense'.
3. If we closely examine one of the rationale for not having a toilet at the centrepoint is because of `water' in the toilet / bathroom.
4. If we can keep this toilet, clean and dry is ok. But what happens if we often bathe in this toilet and after bathing, there is always a wet floor or wet walls or water in this toilet.
5. Somehow, such `water' has to evaporate. And it would be `nice' to have a toilet sharing an external wall; because, some of the moisture, can be `distributed' out of the windows or ventilation fan of the toilet.
6. Contrast this with a toilet `smack' in the middle of the house. Somehow, the remants of water has to `escape'. And may have to escape into our home - giving much `moisture' within the home. This may cause mildew or if we have walk in wardropes, many of our clothes may become mouldy. This is especially true for leather products.
7. Most of the time, much of what seems to be " Feng Shu " have strong (or very strong) links to "commonsense".
8. It is always good for all of us to try to check to see if any of the `reasonings' in Feng Shui can be attributed to `commonsense'. If so, it certainly makes more `sense' to us. And we can offer such explainations to those who want to learn more of Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
