CASE
STUDY 3 This case study revolves around main used doors and the locations and directions of those doors as well as the location of bedrooms and the facing direction of these doors. You will notice that these Locational and Directional influences have been considered for all three occupants. Although the householder described life as being reasonably prosperous and all three of them were in good health they also expressed a sense that things often tended not to go quite as well as they should. There seemed to be frequent and unnecessary frustrations and complications. Those things that ought to have been straight forward and easy were instead often unexpectedly difficult. Finances into the home were good but expenses were high and it seemed difficult to save as much as they wanted, in spite of apparent prosperity. The Facts were as follows: Householder:
Ken Gua (#8) Son: Tui
Gua (#7) Daughter:
Kun Gua (#2) Floor Plan 1
As you will see from Floor Plan One, the front door which was being used as the main door of entry to this house was not maximising the best possible locational/directional influences for the householder in particular. It was very easy to change this and to request them instead to use the back door which was not only located in thr most favourable sector but also faced their 'Sheng Chi'. ( ie. Most Favourable location/direction) This was only possible because the house was on perfectly flat land without any high or low ground within the greater vicinity. Had this not been the case, it may well have proved much more difficult. This Land Form aspect of the San He School always needs to be born in mind when assessing the Pa Chai of any property. You will also note that they had been sleeping in a bedroom which was in the 'centre palace' of the house which from a Pa Chai perspective is neutral and thus not helpful, even though the door to the bedroom did at least face a positive direction. (see Floor Plan One Bedroon A. Thus it was suggested that the householder should move to the bedroom marked Bedroom B on Floor Plan Two. This meant that they would not only be sleeping in a room which was in their most favourable location but also had a door which faced a positive direction. Likewise for the son. He had been sleeping in a room which was in the South sector of the house. (see Bed Room C on Floor Plan One) This was his Wu Gwei sector or Five Ghosts sector and had been having detrimental effects on him in the nature of listlessness and poor communication skills. To help counter this it was suggested that his room be moved to the West sector of the house, ie. Bedroom D on Floor Plan Two which was in his Fu Wei sector even though this room had a door facing the South east. This is a good example of location being deemed to be more important than direction. The daughter's sleeping arrangements were left unaltered. However she was recommended to continue using the front door as her main point of entry. Again this was because the front door was not only in her best location but also faced her most favourable direction. Once these changes to the locational/directional use of the house were made and one other small adjustment was made, things settled down remarkably quickly and clear improvements were reported. This other
adjustment was the closing of the hall door from the main living roon.
This as you will see from the floor plan, had effectively meant front
and back door were more or less in a direct line from one another. Under
these circumstances Chi is drawn through the house and is unable
to be retained properly. One result of this had been a noticable amount
of money coming in also seemed to flow right out again. By closing the
door, and directing the traffic path either through the kitchen or the
side gallery it slowed this flow right down and had an almost immediate
and beneficial effect. Floor Plan 2
