Feng shui entrance door - we plan the space

Today, the feng shui craze - the ancient Chinese science of planning living space, the even and free distribution of the natural energy of qi has become very popular. If you try to adhere to these rules, you will be interested to know what should be the front door for Feng Shui.

What should I look for when placing the door on Feng Shui

The quality of the chi energy entering the house depends on the location, color and material of the entrance door. Feng Shui determines whether it will be favorable for the inhabitants of the house or vice versa - will be able to harm them. It is through the front door that energy penetrates into our homes and flows out of them, and our well-being, health and wealth depend on the direction in which favorable energy moves.

Door orientation and color

According to Feng Shui, the number of doors, their location, orientation in space, color, and the material from which the doors are made affect the movement of energy in a house. It is impossible that at the entrance to the house the energy would encounter any obstacle: the second tambour door, a closely spaced wall, a column or just trash piled in the hallway. In this case, the positive flow will go back.

It is very important how the entrance door is located in relation to the cardinal points, since the influence of incoming energy on you depends on it. Moreover, the power of this influence is determined by the feng shui color of the entrance door.

So:

• Northward Door, has an impact on a career. It should not be colored yellow, brown or green. The most suitable are black, red and white.
• South door red or green helps to maintain an active stance. And weakens it, if the color of the front door is black, blue, brown or yellow.
• Door opening to the west, lets in health energy, has a beneficial effect on family relationships. But only if it is golden, silver or white. Avoid western doors in black, red and blue.

• East direction favorable for the realization of ideas. This door is best painted black, blue or green, but not white.

Number and shape of doors

It is desirable that all the doors in the house, and the entrance door, especially, have strict geometric shapes. Arched doors and doors of other similar shapes with beveled or rounded corners are not the best option, they can adversely affect the health of people living in the house.

In addition, the entrance door should be wide enough, wider and more massive than all other doors, so as not to impede the free movement of positive energy. It is also not recommended to install glazed doors at the entrance, they must be solid and preferably wooden.

Нельзя вешать mirror opposite the front door. Отражение в нем парадного входа приведет к тому, что вся входящая в дом позитивная энергетика оттолкнется от зеркальной поверхности и уйдет назад.

According to Feng Shui, the windows in the house symbolize children, and the doors - the parents. If the number of windows exceeds the number of doors, children will take away energy from their parents, and confusion, conflict, and incomprehension will often arise in the family.

Therefore, if such a situation is in your house, you need to restore the energy of your parents by hanging the bell at the front door. He will be able to prevent the free movement of negative energy around the house.

The most unwanted combination of Feng Shui entrance doors is when they are located one after the other on the same line. This happens in private houses, for example, first comes the entrance to the terrace, and behind it - a double chain entrance to the house. It is believed that such an arrangement opens the way for negative energy, while positive flows freely from the house.

If you cannot change the layout, then block the path of negative energy by placing barriers between the doors in the form of a light partition, a screen, or at least an ornamental plant in a vase. And do not keep all the doors open at the same time.

Mirror magic

We have already said that it is impossible to hang a mirror in front of the front door - it has nothing to do with signs. The fact is that the mirror reflects the energy of qi, pushing it back out of the house. But this does not mean that there should be no mirrors in the hallway at all.

For example, if there is a toilet door opposite the front door, this is not very good from the Feng Shui point of view. Neutralize the negative will help very small, with a diameter of 5-6 cm round mirrors that need to be hung on both sides of the door to the bathroom, placing them at the navel of the host.

Since the mirror is an excellent corrective tool, an entrance door with a large-sized mirror will help to keep positive energy in the house without releasing it outside. It is desirable that the mirror at the same time was rounded.

If you want to hang a mirror in front of the entrance door, in order to be able, when leaving the house, to evaluate your appearance, make sure that the door is not reflected in it. Hang a mirror next to or on the side of the door.

How to arrange the front door

If you build your house and you have the opportunity to think out the layout, then consider the following rules of feng shui:

• Do not make the front door opposite the entrance to the bathroom. And if it is impossible to change the layout, always keep the door to the toilet closed so that the positive energy and energy of the finance does not flow with the water into the sewer.
• Hang the front door so that it opens inside the house - this will create favorable conditions for the flow of qi.

For reference. According to fire safety regulations, the entrance door must also open inwards so as not to create obstacles for the evacuation of neighbors in the event of a fire.

• The best material for the front door is wood - it attracts good luck and prosperity to the house (see. Entrance wooden door with your own hands). And the entrance metal doors with a mirror block the attraction of your home goods from the outside.
• Do not directly in front of the front door openings to other rooms. - bedroom, living room, kitchen. If this is not possible, install a screen in the aisle or hang bells in it, wind flute, bamboo sticks.
• Any protruding corner in front of the front door according to Feng Shui teaching is a “poisonous arrow”which is aimed at the energy field of the one who enters the house. If you have such a layout, put on this corner a decorative vase, a flower in a pot, or any other object.
• If there is a window opposite the door, it needs to be decorated with curtains or put home plants on the window sill to prevent energy from leaking.
• If interior doors are located on both sides of the entrance door, forming a triangle, then in its center you need to hang a wind bell.
• The front door must not look directly at the elevator shaft or at the stairsespecially if it leads to the basement or to the back door. This creates room for the movement of negative energy. The solution in this situation is the same - to build a barrier in the form of a partition, a screen, and decorative elements. You can also hang a bright light source outside the entrance door or make a high threshold.

Those who are not fond of feng shui

If you are far from the overseas teachings and philosophy of Feng Shui, and you trust Russian folk signs and customs more, surely an inverted horseshoe hangs over your door. She has long been considered a talisman at home, a symbol of the family hearth. But the Orthodox Church does not approve of such signs, considering them an echo of pagan beliefs and traditions.

Some people believe that to protect the house from evil forces and misfortunes may be an icon above the entrance door. This is also not entirely correct - the rightful place of the iconostasis is in the red corner. Although the ministers of the church, answering related questions, they say that it is not forbidden to hang icons in any part of the house. The main thing is that they do not coexist with other images - paintings, photographs of celebrities or family members.

But what icons above the front door to hang - you are free to choose for yourself. This could be the icon of your Guardian Angel or the Mother of God. But most often this place is occupied by the seven-stroke icon or the icon "Softener of Evil Hearts."
