Front doors play a particularly important role in Feng Shui. The front entrance of our homes is considered the “mouth of chi”; it is where the universal energy enters into our homes.
A well-decorated front door attracts a high amount of energy, which will in turn provide nourishment, good relationships, success and a healthier life to its inhabitants. Conversely, bad Feng Shui in your front entrance can block successes and happiness in your life.
To ensure the mouth of your home’s Chi is as welcoming as possible, follow the tips below.
1. Make sure the front entrance is visible and appealing. Make sure that no overgrown bushes or trees are obscuring the view of the door. You want to make sure the walkway and front entrance are visible and easy to find.
2. Make sure the front door and the path leading to the front door remain free from physical blockage. Energy should be able to flow freely to your front door without hitting any objects in the way, such as garbage can or garden gnomes.
3. Paint your door a color that welcomes in the chi. Use a bright color such as red or purple, one that is appealing and will coordinate with the rest of your house. A bright color will be inviting and attract the energy into your home.
4. The front door needs to open easily. Just as the Chi’s energy should not be obstructed on the path to your front door, you do not want to obstruct the Chi’s path by blocking the door’s path as it opens into your home.
5. Keep the front entrance well-maintained. Do not allow rust to build up or lighting fixtures to remain broken. A door that squeaks should be fixed, in order to maintain good Feng Shui.
By following the above Feng Shui Tips you will attract positive energy into your home and into your life.
