Hello snowcountry,
I might have an answer for you, but I have not seen Marie's new video (btw which one do you mean
?)
It is taught that the first priority is to face towards one of your personal best directions, second priority is to be out of the flow from the door, and the third is to see the door. So, maybe if you face your fourth best direction, but are out of the flow of the door and you can see it, it might create overall more harmony and auspicious energy than if you sit with the back to the door, the flow from the door hitting you in the back, but you are facing your very best direction. Maybe try out what position makes you feel most comfortable!
Cheers,
Maike
