The front door refers to the official, formal front door of the home. It’s also referred to as the mouth of qi, the portal of energy. Some homes may have secondary doors that are used on a daily basis. This is okay, however, the mouth of qi is your formal front door. If you never use it, you are blocking out energy and opportunities. Therefore, it’s essential to activate your front door regularly. You can do this by simply opening and walking through it at least once every nine days. Daily is better. Make it part of your routine, like when you go for the mail, always walk through the front door. When is the last time you wiped down your front door, including the interior side, the exterior side, and the edge? Incredible amounts of debris accumulate at the front door. Giving this area more attention ensures that positive energy can come into your home. The entry area also tends to be a place where all sorts of clutter accumulate. There are shoes and coats, bags of items ready to go off to donation, bags of rubbish, mail and packages, the list goes on and on. This creates stagnation and closes off your portal for good qi from entering your home. Also, your unconscious mind sees this clutter every time you enter your home. It’s not relaxing and it creates stress. To brighten your entry, clean the light fixtures as dust prevents the light from shining through. The same goes for any glass in or around the door. Clean it to allow the most daylight through. Paint the ceiling with a bright flat white color. You can also change the bulb to a higher wattage dimmable bulb, or add additional light fixtures if possible. The front door area doesn’t have to have light fixtures on the highest setting. It’s more about the potential for brightness and clear seeing. Is there confusion? Would your friend get lost? If your friend can’t find your front door, good energy, prosperity, and opportunities will also have a challenging time reaching you. Do what you can to create a clear path to the front door so you have all the abundant qi heading your way. All these little obstacles affect you in your everyday life. Just like a stone can be worn away by tiny drops of water over time, these difficulties add up and affect your well-being. We speed and rush through so many things in our life nowadays, we may not consciously notice. But paying attention to these details provides ease and relaxation. A wall or staircase that is directly aligned with the front door and is less than five feet away creates a block in energy. You can open up the energy by directing the eye to the right or left of the wall or stairs with a captivating object like colorful fresh flowers or a dazzling piece of art.
