Dear Anon,

1. If you can try to provide a sketch.

2. Firstly, a screen is not just about blocking qi (although) it is one of the reasons.

3. There are two other reasons:

FIRST:-
A.1 For an `L' shaped living cum dining room, it will give each rooms additional rectangular form.

A.2. Even if the living cum dining room is elongated, it will also try to make it `more rectangluar' i.e. two rectangles.

SECOND:-
A.2. If properly positioned, it can help to further `meander' qi or seem to encourage to flow towards the centrepoint and often on to the `other side' which is often the bedrooms and vice versa.

I am very concerned about your statement below:-

>You have said repeatedly that
>Qi flows straight from the
>main entrance through a
>hallway out of the sliding
>glass doors in the back of the
>house is a major leakage.

I like to clarify that what I had mentioned cannot be taken as a blanket cover for all homes to use screens.

It has to be based on individual homes. As no two homes are alike.

If in doubt, please sent in a sketch of one's home to confirm.

The reason for saying so is:

In your `fix' you used a screen. If the main door area is already dim. And if the screen cuts out further light to the main door; sometimes it may not be favourable to do so.

Sometimes, panel glass can be used to allow light to flow towards the main door area. At times, if the screen is placed wrongly, it would seem as a knife `cutting' into the room door(s).

The maxim is often true: " Too much knowledge is (or maybe) a dangerous thing.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
