Feng Shui tips on
Front Doors
By Sallie Tsui
Sien
Qi
(energy) enters
the house through
doors, windows and
also walls.
However, the front
door of your house
is where the major
part of qi enters
and therefore this
door plays an
important role in
determining the
quality of Feng
Shui experienced
by the household.
Its location
within the house
is very important.
Some
houses have two
front doors. One
that was built
originally by the
architect and the
other, which could
be a kitchen,
garage or side
door, that is more
preferred by the
occupants due, for
example, to the
convenience of its
location.
Decide
on which door to
use and use this
one door only.
Having two front
doors can often
cause unnecessary
bickering and
arguing amongst
occupants.
Make
sure the size of
the door is in
proportion to the
size of the
property. If the
front door is too
big, opportunities
will slip you by
and if it is too
small, it can
cause disharmony
within the
household.
A
solid front door
is always
preferable to a
glass-panelled
one.
Generally
speaking, a front
door must be
bigger than the
back door
encouraging qi to
enter through this
aspect.
A
front door that
opens inward is
better than opens
outwards. A door
that opens inwards
encourages
benevolent qi to
enter.
It
is important that
the front door
opens easily
without obstacles
or difficulties.
Broken handles
must be replaced.
Hinges should be
oiled regularly.
The front door
must be well
maintained and
clean.
Make
certain that the
name or number of
your house is
clearly visible by
day and night in
order to maintain
harmonious
relationships with
callers.
The
most vital thing
to do is to make
very certain that
this door is not
being hit by
anything sharp or
angled. This is
what is considered
'exterior poison
arrows'. These
structures can
transform quality
energy into a
malignant one and
you would not want
this
transformation at
your front door.
Make
sure the front
door bell is
easily located and
works at all time.
It should also
have a nice
ringing tone to
it. I have stood
waiting outside
many front doors
and had to use my
mobile phone to
call in.
The
colours of the
door should
reflect the
compass direction
it faces according
to the Five
Elements and / or
be in balance with
the elemental
properties of the
energies of the
sector where the
door is located.
If
you have another
door, apart from
the front door,
that is used on a
frequent basis,
including by
friends and
visitors, the path
leading to it must
be clear,
unobstructed and
clean. This will
be the path 'qi'
would take to
enter your house
and therefore make
sure this source
is coming from a
favourable
direction.
