Posted January 11, 201213 yr Hi Cecil,We have a fireplace in our living-room and our master bedroom entry-door is facing directly to the fireplace. Is that bad for feng shui? We looked it up and only few website mentioned about this. Some said that we can place a beach scenery poster or mirror on top of the fireplace. Can you advise us the correct method? Thank you.Amy
Posted January 11, 201213 yr Staff These are some considerations:1. This comes under the category of "belief".2. This is much like the main entrance door should not be vulnerable to "attacks" by a lone lamp post "slicing into it" or a sharp corner or a sharp roof -- as a poison arrow or sha qi.3. Under the same "idea"; as in the above; the entrance or the bedroom door should not be vulnerable to "sharp objects" and things like an oven facing the door.4. The belief is that "hot" objects like an oven or even a fire-place facing the bedroom door could symbolise: either health concerns: fever etc... and/or marriage problems (excessive heat).5. This is why (perhaps) some say to place a beach scenery to "cool" the fire-place -- down. Or to place a mirror -- again perhaps to "deflect" back the original qi.... etc...6. Frankly, as mentioned above, it has more to do with such a belief that sparks the concern.7. One will or can never find a text book answer to your concern.8. As this is often not a common situation, again as mentioned above, there is really no quick fix nor which is the ideal or correct "cure". 9. Some imaginative cures may even consider things like: if it is not in use; it is considered as no longer a threat or "enclosing the fire place etc... Often, it may not be practical not to have the fire-place on especially in a cold place... 10. Thus, in my opinion, in such an "uncommon" situation; in reality; sometimes; it is even better not to know of such "beliefs"..... kinda of acting blur... is another consideration...

Posted January 11, 201213 yr Staff If there is a possibility of placing sofa's around it or between the line of sight between the fire-place and the master bedroom door; then this is a passive "cure".
