The front entrance is a major entry point
for energy to flow into your dwelling. The mood set at the door, can reflect the nature of
the Chi that enters your home (or business). What kind of mood do you want to create?
Overwhelming pictures, colours or mirrors, for example, may create a sense of surprise,
while a beautiful display of fresh flowers and decorations that are easy on the eye are more
likely to create a sense of "wow" or "I feel welcome".
|
The front door
is like the mouth of the building. Like the human body, when good things
pass in through your mouth, the result to your body is positive.
Similarly, when good things
come out of your mouth, your social standing improves.
|
|
Is the entrance
appealing? |
Consider a fresh coat of paint, an
appealing picture, fresh-cut flowers….something that has universal
appeal. |
|
Does the door open
to a free space? (Obstacles and walls can impede the flow of
energy.) Is it light and welcoming or dark and confining?
|
For a small entrance, a mirror can
create a feeling of expansion. Paint entrance a light colour. Use a
bright light bulb. Place a vase of vibrant flowers in the entrance.
Hang pictures that are inspiring or set the mood for the rest of the
building or pictures that have depth (e.g. a landscape). Never stand
in the entrance with guests – invite them in to an open space. |
|
Is there somewhere
to place your keys or "hang your hat"? |
A small table or shelf provides a
place to "drop your things" and welcome you or your guests home. |
What is the first
room that you see? Does that room have any bearing on your own
concerns? For example, where the entrance opens directly onto:
the kitchen - you
may have a pre-occupation with food
-
the bedroom - the
occupants may feel lethargic.
-
the bathroom - fortune
may be flushed away.
|
Close
doors to bathrooms and bedrooms and or screen from view at the
entrance.
Alternatively, draw attention away from the offending view with
something of beauty e.g. a fabulous art piece, a bunch of flowers, a
striking plant. Be creative.
|
|
Is the door hung in
a way that allows easy flow of energy into the room? |
A door that opens awkwardly can
impede the flow of Chi into the building. Sometimes swinging the
door in the other direction is enough. |
|
Where stairs
directly face a front door, Qi and therefore luck will flow out the
door. |
Place
a symbol (or pair of symbols) either side of the base of the stairs
that represent protection to you. Solid objects will help to impede
the flow of Chi out the door.
When there is no
room to do this, hang a crystal ball (lead-cut) or even a mobile
from the ceiling to help circulate the Chi. |
Good luck!
