How to put doors on Feng Shui. Feng Shui of the room and front door. Door facing northeast

The front door is associated with any movement, whether it is the penetration of positive qi or negative sha, pleasant, long-awaited guests or enemies of the tenants of the apartment. This is the way through which destructive spirits can enter the room or the beneficial influence of Heaven can enter. Therefore, on the one hand, the door should serve as a reliable protection, and on the other hand, it should be located and decorated in such a way as to attract qi to the house, and with it happiness, success, longevity and prosperity.

The main door (meaning the front door, the one that is most often used, as opposed to the back door, the "back" door) should be fixed strictly vertically, on reliable, serviceable, non-creaking hinges.

Its dimensions most often correspond to certain building standards. In the event that you decide to replace it with a door of a different shape or size, remember the following feng shui rule: the size of the door must correspond to the size of the apartment, in particular, the room that is hidden behind this door.

A door that is too large (wide and low, or consisting of two wings opening at the same time) has an overwhelming effect on the flow of qi, scares and intimidates everyone who wants to enter the apartment. It is also believed that such a door is a gap through which part of the qi will leave the house, a signal of the danger of financial difficulties in the family.

On the contrary, a disproportionately small front door will make qi difficult to access, and the microclimate in the family will change for the worse: squabbles, quarrels and petty insults will become frequent guests here.

The material from which the door itself is made, and especially door jambs, must be durable, without cracks, scratches, or other defects. The jambs of the front door are a symbol of the well-being of the family, a support in case of troubles and troubles, therefore, rickety, shaky, dry jambs indicate that the family has lost protection and support, is in danger.

Most preferably, a solid wooden or metal door, be sure to close the glass door with fabric curtains, blinds, or apply a pattern to the glass surfaces, that is, make the door opaque so that qi does not mistakenly take it for a window.

Pay special attention to the design of the door. Any ornament or pattern on its surface should be symmetrical, preserving the harmony of yin and yang. This remark also applies to the size of the door leaves, the ratio of materials used for its design.

In order to invite positive energy into the house and accumulate it, you need to paint the door in the right color, which depends on its location in relativity from the cardinal points.

If the door is facing west or southwest, then feng shui experts advise painting it in white, beige, silver or brown.
If the door is directed to the north - then in blue or black.

If the door is directed to the northeast or southwest, then it is better to paint it brown or yellow.
If the door is directed to the east, then the most suitable colors for it would be black, green or blue.
A door facing south should be painted green or red.

In order to invite Qi energy into your home, you need to use not only colors, but also elements of the elements. For example, for a south-facing door, you can use triangular elements, and for a south-west or west-facing door, rounded elements.

You can determine in which direction the interior doors are located in our apartment by resorting to bagua.

Here are the directions in which the doors of our house are oriented and their meanings, as well as what needs to be done to improve the life situation.

The best direction, form of decoration and color of the front door

The direction and design of the front door

Abundance and good luck will be brought by the front door, which is located outside your auspicious direction, depending on the number of gua. This direction, as well as the recommended form of decoration and color of the door, are indicated in the table. In addition, a door facing the southeast will always contribute to material prosperity.

The front door should hold the energy of well-being inside the house.

The function of the front door is not only to let in qi energy, but also to keep it inside the home. Therefore, in order for the energy not to dissipate, but, on the contrary, accumulate in the apartment, the door must be powerful, durable, but in no case glass or transparent, but open - inside the house. If the front door opens outward, simply rehang it by placing the hinges on the other side (Fig. 34).

Fig.34

If there are windows on either side of the door, then the energy that has entered through the door will quickly leak out. Therefore, these windows should either be closed up completely, or protected by hanging lace curtains on them and placing cacti on the windowsills.

If the door consists of two wings, then the large leaf must be open, and the other must be fixed.

Entrance door material

The most reliable in terms of Feng Shui is a thick wooden door. A metal door is highly undesirable because it blocks the flow of qi, which means it limits financial opportunities. But this does not mean at all that metal doors should be abandoned. Such a door must be upholstered with wood or covered with decorative panels without glass.

Beware of placing live plants outside, directly in front of the front door (in the center), because the nature of trees, any vegetation is yin, and it will interfere with the penetration of yang into the room and send additional yin flows into the apartment, disrupting the order of qi moving around the apartment.

The fact is that a house or apartment, in accordance with the yin-yang theory, is conditionally divided into two parts, the nature of which is opposite. That part of the apartment, which is close to the front door, has the power and properties of yang. Energy lives here, so qi enters the house through the front door. In the outer areas of the apartment (entrance hall, office, kitchen, dining room, living room) there is a lively movement, here family members get together, receive and treat guests.

The inner part of the apartment, the furthest from the entrance, belongs to yin. Peace, silence, intimate atmosphere should reign here, it is most convenient and correct from the point of view of Feng Shui to place bedrooms in this part of the apartment.

Do not pile old things, various rubbish in front of the entrance to the apartment (in the corridor or on the landing), do not put cabinets or cabinets that will hide the front door from the eyes. Clutter and clutter will create sha, scare away qi, and negative energy will easily enter your apartment.

On the contrary, make the entrance to the apartment attractive. Lay a beautiful, bright rug in front of the door, hang "wind music". Keep the door and the stairwell area adjacent to it clean. Figurines or images of animals (tiger and dragon) at the entrance will protect your apartment from the negative impact, formidable guards can easily cope with the flow of sha.

The front door should not lead to a dead end or a labyrinth of corridors, since qi will not be able to circulate freely in such conditions, its movement to the door leading to the apartment will be much more difficult. In a dead end, qi will stagnate, accumulate, fade, not reaching the goal, or reborn into negative sha.

A door facing a narrow dark corridor can cause financial difficulties. It is highly undesirable that there is a staircase or an elevator opposite the door, qi will move too quickly here and may simply not notice the entrance to your apartment and go down the floor below (climb to the top floor).

In this and similar cases, you will not be able to change anything in the layout of the space, you just have to try to attract qi to your door. To do this, Feng Shui advises to hang a bell or "wind music" over the door, which will tinkle every time the door is opened, the movement of air, luring qi, inviting you to enter, increasing the flow of life-giving energy.

The bell is usually mounted above the door from the inside, because the front door opens inward, and the "wind music" is better to hang outside, directly in front of the door or in several places along the long corridor leading to your front door.

These means of attracting qi can also be used inside the apartment, directing the flow of qi in the direction you need. It is noteworthy that "wind music" not only controls the flow of qi, but also becomes a maxim. The sound that it makes reminds you of the presence of qi next to you, gives hope for the best, awakens pleasant memories, and improves your mood.

Wind chime pendants and bells can be made from various materials:

Metal, bamboo, ceramics. When hanging them inside the rooms, remember that each element corresponds to a certain direction, and hence the zone of your apartment. Metal sound is especially effective in the areas of children, careers and teachers, bamboo - in the areas of fame, wealth and family. Metal destroys wood, so it is not recommended to hang "wind music" with metal pendants in areas that correspond to wood (in areas of family and wealth). The conflict of the elements can cause significant harm to the family, in a particular case, lead to ruin and family quarrels.

"Wind music" can be hung even where there is no breeze, in the area that needs to attract additional beneficial energy. You yourself will be able to extract the sound by touching the "wind music" with your hand or head and creating an air flow with your movement. Children especially like this activity. You can offer a similar game to your guests to attract and increase qi.

It is believed that the bells help maintain the health of family members, their sound, heard from the dining room and calling everyone to the table, symbolizes the wealth of the inhabitants of the house and the abundance on the table. Even the sound of music coming from the TV, tape recorder, live sound (playing musical instruments, singing, children's laughter) increases the amount of qi in the apartment. Arrange musical instruments and equipment in those places in the room that you want to activate, and use them regularly.

So, you are convinced that qi can be attracted to the house, its movement can be stimulated, accelerated or slowed down, and its route can be easily changed. Go through all the rooms and make sure that qi will feel good here and will be able to move freely and in the right direction inside the apartment.

The door leading to the apartment should open inward, not outward, so as not to repel qi. At the same time, you need to make sure that the door opens freely, completely, does it make it possible to take a look at the hallway with a glance, to enter the apartment without interference? After all, it is also very important for the flow of qi to look around, to determine the direction of movement, before it starts walking around the rooms.

The open door should leave the right (in relation to the incoming) corner of the hallway free. It corresponds to the teachers' zone, so if guests entering the apartment leave their things on a table or shelf in this part of the hallway, then you can always count on the help and support of these people.

Once in the apartment, qi should feel calm, confident, nothing should hamper its progress through the rooms or scare it away.

feng shui front door

The front door is an object of close attention in Feng Shui. And this is not accidental, because it is she who performs the function of protecting the home, enclosing the house, making it cozy and safe for its inhabitants.

In addition to these obvious functions, the front door is also the main “supplier” of positive Chi energy for your home. It is through the door that good energy enters the house and circulates freely throughout the space of the apartment, if nothing interferes with it. , its correct location, arrangement and color is a guarantee of your success and health, even if the rest of the space of your apartment is not arranged according to all the rules of Feng Shui.

feng shui front door location

As for the location of doors in general, there are several very strict rules in Feng Shui for their placement:

Front door and mirrors

Feng Shui is generally careful about mirrors. This also applies to the front door, which in no case should be reflected in the mirror. So, if either in the next room or corridor and the door is reflected in it, then the favorable Qi energy will be reflected, refracted in this mirror, and quickly go back. She will not stay in the house, and this threatens trouble for all family members.

Otherwise, mirrors are quite appropriate in the hallway, so do not avoid them, but place them so that the front door is not reflected in them.

Entrance door and stairs

Staircase relative to the door

Stairs and entrance doors must be in the correct position in relation to each other. In no case should the staircase inside the house begin close to the front door or become its continuation - this will not only lead to an instant release of Qi energy, but also increase the influence of negative Sha energy. Make sure that the staircase is not connected to the front door, does not "continue" the entrance, is not part of it, and is not located on the same line with the entrance.

Bad entry door

If there is a staircase in front of the front door leading to the second floor or down, this is also undesirable, since in this case energy leaks along the stairs, such a staircase distracts the attention of the incoming person. In this case, attention can be diverted by placing an obstacle in the form of a plant, sculpture, bedside table, curtains, and so on. It is good to use musical pendants for the correct distribution of energy, and highlight the further path along the hallway with a bright carpet or path in accordance with the zone in which your corridor is located.

The most unfavorable location is the outer and inner stairs, which form one line, but are separated by an entrance door. This should not be done in any case, because in such a house you will always feel danger, discomfort, and often get sick.

feng shui door color

The color of the front door is directly related to the sector in which your door is located. With the help, you can easily determine in which zone your front door is located, and arrange it in such a way as to enhance the beneficial effect or block the negative one.

Door leading to the west

Responsible for the relationship between children and parents, it should be decorated with metal elements (the element of the West), choosing white or brown. Keep all the decorations on the door in a perfectly clean, "brilliant" state - this will activate the zone.

East facing door

The door to the apartment of a happy friendly family. You will enhance family happiness, the well-being of all the tenants of the apartment thanks to the tree from which it is advised to make "oriental" doors. Both the door itself and the ornament on it can be wooden. The main thing is that the tree should always be in good condition, without cracks, shiny, varnished. Black or green color is suitable for this door.

south facing door

If your front door faces south, you can safely make it red or green, and then your activity will be crowned with success and even glory.

North facing door

The door facing north, to the Career zone, can be painted blue or black, decorated with wavy elements (the north is under the influence of the element of Water), and then you will be successful in promotion.

Door facing northeast or southwest

For a door in the northeast or southwest, brown or yellow colors are suitable, southeast doors can be made yellow or any of its shades - these are the colors of wealth.

Color enhancement is true for all interior doors. If you need to increase the influence of a sector on your life, just take care of the door that falls into it: paint it in the right color, decorate it with suitable elements.

Interior doors of the apartment

Sliding doors

A few words about the rest of the doors in the house, for example, those leading to the hallway. If you are building a house yourself, then it is best not to plan the doors to the toilet, bathroom or kitchen next to the front door. The corridor should lead directly to the common rooms, and not to individual or household rooms. Your guest should get through the corridor into the living room or dining room, bypassing all other, personal, premises.

Since many of us live in houses that are far from custom built, we have to put up with what we have and find the most successful way out.

The doors to the toilet and bathroom, if they face the hallway, should not be too large and massive, otherwise they will attract too much energy with their size. You will spend too much time in these rooms, the toilet and bathroom can become the most important in your life, and this, you see, is not very good. It is also important that the doors to these rooms are always tightly closed, otherwise you risk losing luck flowing through the sewers. (By the way, this also applies to the toilet lid).

The same can be said about the door to the kitchen: if people entering your hallway see a “kitchen entourage”, get ready for the fact that they will find themselves with an unusual appetite and will always come to you first of all to have a delicious meal, because the open door to the kitchen evokes just such “inviting” associations. Therefore, if your kitchen door is in front of the guests, close it. If there are large transparent glass elements in the door (for example, half a transparent glass door), they should also be covered from prying eyes.

The doors to the private rooms of the owners should also be closed, at least with the arrival of guests. The rest of the time they can not be closed, thereby not creating barriers to the flow of Qi energy.

All doors in the apartment, even if you do not use them, need to be opened more often. So the energy will circulate freely around the apartment, and at the same time you will activate the area of ​​your life to which the door belongs. Do not forget about the cleanliness of the doors, keep them in working condition, lubricate the hinges, get rid of shabby, old and ugly doors in time. Remember that positive Qi energy will enter with ease through good doors and will never leave your home, making it cozy, comfortable and safe.

Feng Shui does not help a person in material life - says Alexander Anishchenko, head of the Russian Academy of Feng Shui. This teaching is part of the Taoism religion, and the task of any religion is to help a person grow spiritually. Feng Shui helps to organize space in such a way that it gives a person additional energy that can be directed, among other things, to obtaining material benefits.

In feng shui, life energy is called qi. There are thousands of rules in feng shui books on how to attract qi to your home. In this article, we will talk about how to choose from the point of view of this philosophy, because it is through them that qi enters the house.

Doors to the house and feng shui

The height of the opening should be sufficient for all family members. According to Feng Shui, the entrance steel door in the apartment should be larger than the interior doors. Choose a rectangular canvas, arched structures are best avoided.

What is in front of and behind the threshold also matters. Columns and pillars are undesirable in front of the entrance. This slows down and blocks the flow of qi. So that energy does not stop at the threshold, keep the hallway clean. Remove trash and excess furniture. Well, if the hallway is light. So, if there is no window, turn on the light more often.

These rules are clear even to a person far from Feng Shui. They are dictated by the comfort and safety of residents. The following recommendations cannot be explained rationally, but the followers of the teaching are sure that they work.

Feng Shui door energy for careerists

In Feng Shui encyclopedias, a lot of attention is paid to the choice of the location of the entrance group. These tips will be helpful if you decide to buy a new home.

• If recognition in the professional field is important to you, pay attention to the southern direction. This option is also suitable for active, purposeful people.
• Also for those whose aspirations are related to a career, the eastern location of the door is favorable.
• For those who dream of financial well-being, the southeast direction is favorable.
• If you strive to gain knowledge, the northeast direction will favor this. But such an arrangement of the entrance group is not always good for older people.

Favorable location of the front door for those who prioritize family and children

• For families with children, the western direction is favorable. Feng Shui experts believe that the qi energy that enters the house from the west contributes to the proper development of children.
• If you strive for harmony and happiness in the family, choose the southwestern direction.
• Northwest is the direction of the head of the family. So the flow of energy will be directed in his direction. This location is suitable for families with a traditional way of life.
• If you dream of a quiet measured life, choose an apartment facing north. But here there is a risk that the calm course of life will turn into indifference.

What to do for those who already live in an apartment whose door is located in the wrong direction? You cannot change its location. But the Feng Shui teaching is good because there are other ways to influence the flow of qi energy.

Front door color if facing south or north

According to Feng Shui, color can enhance positive factors and neutralize negative ones. Therefore, it is important to coordinate the color of the door with the direction:

South. patron of fire. Direction is associated with fame. To enhance the effect of positive energy, paint the canvas in red, yellow, green or brown. This will contribute to recognition in the professional environment and growth in popularity.

North. Water protector. The direction is responsible for the career For a north-facing door, cold and contrasting shades are suitable: blue, white and black. Avoid yellows, greens and browns.

Door color if facing east or west

East or southeast. Patron tree. Responsible for financial well-being. Suitable colors are blue, black and green.

Southwest or northeast. The direction is patronized by the earth. Responsible for relationships. Use all shades of yellow, brown, orange.

West or northwest. Here the element is metal, so all shades of metal are suitable: bronze, silver, gold. The direction contributes to the development of creative abilities.

In the pursuit of happiness and fortune, all methods are good. Try putting these tips into practice. Moreover, the rules of Feng Shui do not contradict common sense.

The ancient Chinese doctrine of the harmonization of Feng Shui space attaches great importance to the free and even distribution of vital energy. And the entrance doors to the house play an important role in this, not for nothing that the ancient Chinese sages called them "the mouth of the house."

feng shui front door location

Unfortunately, the owners of finished apartments rarely have the opportunity to choose the canonical location of the front door according to Feng Shui, because it is difficult to change the layout of the rooms. But if you are building your country house yourself, it is not superfluous to think over this issue.

Chinese sages directly connect the main entrance to the house with its owner, arguing that the correct orientation to the cardinal points can either strengthen or weaken the leadership of the head of the family. In general, it is considered that

• doors facing the northwest contribute to the growth of the authority of the eldest man in the family, ensuring the love and trust of the rest of the household;
• in a house with access to the north, calmness usually settles. However, over time, it can develop into some lethargy of relations, and even mutual cooling towards each other;
• an apartment with an entrance to the east is especially favorable for young and pretentious people. It is easier for those who live in such a house to make a career, to realize their professional plans. The east direction is also suitable for businessmen and merchants;
• many will be attracted by the front door to the house, located to the southeast, because it guarantees the residents of the house a slow but steady increase in material well-being, peace and goodwill in family relationships;
• if you are striving for public recognition, political leadership, locate the feng shui entrance in a southerly direction. However, be prepared that the head of the family, who lives in a house with a south door, can become an egocentric, striving only to fulfill his own desires;
• the western entrance to the house is recommended for parents with children or for ardent lovers. In such an atmosphere, mutual understanding and creative development flourish. And the romance of relationships and sensuality reaches its greatest intensity. It should be feared that over time, treason can settle in such a house, since one of the partners will not be enough for the other.

It also plays a role in how the front door fits in with the others. The Chinese consider the combination of the entrance to the house with two other doors located on the same wall to be deadly dangerous. If it is impossible to correct the situation, the front door is separated by a dense screen or partition. An entrance consisting of several doors in a straight line is also considered a bad sign. You can neutralize this by hanging protective curtains.

When located opposite the front door of the door to the toilet, leakage of positive energy through the sewer systems is possible. To neutralize such a neighborhood, you should hang the "music of the winds" on the door of the restroom, because this will help to reflect and disperse energy flows throughout the house. A Chinese bell is also hung on the door if the number of windows (symbolizing children) exceeds the number of doors (parental sign), so that children do not take away the vitality of their ancestors.

Size matters

Attention is paid to the size of the door. Too big can not only scare away happiness, but also cause a lack of money flowing out of the house through it. But a disproportionately small entrance is not good at all, because through it it will be difficult for positive energy to get into your home. In addition, Feng Shui followers sincerely believe that resentment accumulates in a house with a small door, and households are prone to quarrels, squabbles and resentments. In any case, the front door should be larger than any other door in the house and taller than the tallest member of the family.

To bring success

By the way, Feng Shui masters are in irreconcilable contradiction with the existing fire rules, which require that the door opens outward, in order to avoid obstacles for the evacuation of people in case of fire. But the ancient Chinese believed that the front door should open inside, because this contributes to the favorable whirlwinds of qi energy. The house loses success and prosperity even if there is an impenetrable door opposite the entrance (back door). In this case, all favorable vital forces simply do not linger in it. To prevent this from happening, divide the space with a screen, a decorative lattice, or a large-sized houseplant, which will break the straightness of the flows.

In order for everyone living in the house to be successful, and family ties to be strong, you should not see the stairs from the entrance to the house. It's really bad when the stairs are double (going up and down). How to compensate for this negative factor, if nothing can be radically changed? Hang a bright light source above the opening and add light to the hallway without cluttering it with unnecessary things. According to feng shui, light representing yang energy will help protect the home. Polished to a shine floors and light walls also have a positive effect on the overall atmosphere of the apartment.

very different doors

What material for the door to choose? Natural wood, of course, is most preferable, because the tree is able to attract good luck and prosperity, especially if the entrance to the dwelling is oriented to the east. But solid steel is also not bad, but transparent glass is considered by Feng Shui followers to be incapable of blocking the path of evil. If, nevertheless, the doors are glass, then the properties of the material can be neutralized by attaching an opaque curtain.

The color of the front door according to Feng Shui is also extremely important, but only in the context of its location relative to the cardinal points.

1. The exit to the west and northwest is painted in silver or white shades. A white front door with metal decor elements blocks evil forces, reflecting them away from the house. You can enhance the effect by using yellow or brown colors as an addition. But red, blue and black are contraindicated for the West.
2. The north door can be painted blue, black or white, without the use of brown or green tones. Decoration in the form of wavy lines will enhance the favorable outcome of any undertakings.
3. The red front door is suitable for the south direction, but blue and black are not acceptable for the south, this will bring disharmony.

It's the magic of mirrors

Mirrors have a special attraction for people, and some nations endow them with mystical power. Feng Shui masters believe that a mirror, hung opposite the entrance to the house, reflects the energy entering the house, literally “pushing” it back and not allowing it to increase well-being. But the mirror surface, located next to the main entrance, on the contrary, scatters favorable streams around the house. This rule applies to all doors installed in the house, so the mirrored door is hung only in the bathroom to prevent the outflow of energy with flowing water.

The Chinese prefer octagonal mirrors, bagua, which they believe have protective powers. According to Feng Shui, such a mirror on the front door can be placed outside, while windows and doors of other houses should not be reflected in it, since this causes energy harm to neighbors.

Mirror tiles, so beloved by designers, are considered potentially harmful, because they crush the image into small pieces.

The Chinese are sure that in this way it is possible to harm, symbolically "cutting" fate. Ailments and troubles will haunt a person. Large-sized mirrors are preferred to such flawed interior items in order not only to be fully reflected in them, but also to have prospects for personal growth.

"Poison Arrows"

"Poisoned arrows" - this is the name in Feng Shui of unfavorable factors that can cause irreparable harm, transforming the positive energy of Qi into the opposite Sha-Qi. Arrows include everything sharp and angular that surrounds your home. It can be a lonely tree (a symbol of loneliness), a cross-shaped pillar, a hospital or a cemetery opposite the main entrance. Destroyed houses, garbage dumps, high-voltage lines are also unfavorable in terms of impact. The entrance door with a Feng Shui mirror, reinforced by the application of trigrams (special signs symbolizing the elements), will help in correcting the negative. A bunch of crystal balls or the famous Chinese bamboo wind chimes have a similar effect.

Tip: Do not forget to clean the mirror from dust and dirt, otherwise its protective properties will weaken.

Feng Shui and Orthodox icons

Do not confuse the teachings of Feng Shui and Orthodox canons. The icon above the front door is a Christian symbol of home protection. There is a miraculous image of the IVII century "Impenetrable door", protecting the house from both malicious intent and plunder. The “Holy Goalkeeper” or the “Burning Bush” can be placed not only in the home iconostasis, these icons are hung over the front door, for the patronage of the Mother of God to the hearth. However, in Orthodoxy, the location of the icons on the eastern wall, in the "Red Corner", is considered more correct.

feng shui front door

The life force energy circulating in the Universe brings wealth and prosperity to every person living on earth. Of great importance in the process of circulation of energies is the door to the outside. It is through it that the positive energy of Qi passes into the house. In this regard, there should be a lot of open space in front of it for the accumulation of energy and there should not be any obstacles for its passage. Energy is constantly accumulating near the front door, and people entering and leaving make it circulate.

Drains, any sharp corners, as well as satellite dishes, lampposts directed towards the front door can carry negative Sha energy into the house.

front door and feng shui

A beautiful front door will bring happiness and prosperity. It will attract more harmony into your life, and the feng shui symbols used will reflect any negative energy from your home.

Hanging lanterns located above the front door will be good protectors of your home from unfavorable energy and in addition they will be able to perfectly illuminate the entrance in front of the door. Most importantly, do not forget to change the bulbs in time if they burn out.

The front door is designed to protect the home, so it must be solid and solid. It is not recommended to have a glass door.

Windows on the sides of the door - bad feng shui

It is desirable that the front door to the house opens inwards - then it will let in favorable energy. It is better to put the hinges on the other side and outweigh it if it opens outward.

In the case when windows are located next to the front door on both sides, then the energy, having entered the house through the door, will immediately exit through the windows, bypassing the whole house. Plants in pots on the windowsill, blinds or curtains on the windows will correct this deficiency. With this simple technique, you will fix positive energy in the house.

The dimensions of the front door are important. A very large one will create financial difficulties, and a small one will lead to conflicts and strife in the family. In this regard, the door should be of medium size. And one more important point: the door should open well and easily. Skewed doors that have to be lifted to close and creaking doors block the flow of beneficial Chi energy, which will have adverse effects on the entire house or apartment.

Unfavorable location of the front door

Glass door - bad feng shui

If you have just started choosing a home, it is important to consider that finding the front door directly opposite the bathroom is extremely unfavorable. The Feng Shui bathroom plays the role of a place through which energy leaves the house. In this case, the energy, once in the house, immediately goes away through the sewer pipes. Constant energy losses can lead to the fact that residents will constantly feel lethargic and exhausted, and financial well-being will also not last long. You can correct the situation by hanging a shiny one between the front door and the bathroom door. It will reflect energy from the bathroom door, and also dissipate it further throughout the house.

It is considered unfavorable if the main entrance door and the door leading to the patio are one opposite the other. In this case, the energy flows quickly through the house, without stopping, and does not have time to have a beneficial effect on the whole house. You can correct the situation by placing a round table, a decorative lattice or large flowers in a pot in the way of the flow of energy.

What influences the direction of the front door of the house?

Qi gate is the name of the front door in Feng Shui. There is a certain relationship between the direction of the front door and the energy entering it.

A north-facing door contributes to a peaceful lifestyle. However, if excessive calmness has turned into apathy and mutual indifference, then you can paint the door brown or hang a small crystal right in the hallway.

The front door, which faces northwest, will favor the leadership of the older man in the family living in the house (grandfather, father of the family) and respect for him by the rest of the family.

In the northeast direction, residents will be exposed to active external forces. This direction is suitable for young people who have a desire to learn, learn and get an education.

White door for north direction

With the east direction of the door, energy will come that promotes a career, success in business. This is the best direction for the front door.

For those who feel the need to improve their current financial situation, Feng Shui masters recommend the southeast direction of the front door as the most conducive to achieving this goal. Prosperity and well-being will slowly but surely enter the house.

The door facing south will promote active social activity, the incoming energy will bring fame to the residents of the house. But its excessive amount can lead to quarrels in the family. To moderate the strength of the fire of this direction, try to add to it the symbols of the element of water.

If you use the "compass method", then in the southwest there is a Feng Shui zone of Marriage and Love. The front door, located in the southwest, will be the main source of energy of love and will promote strong and family relationships.

The western door and its incoming energy is favorable for families with small children. This energy will contribute to a fairly rapid creative development. The Western direction is directly related to tender, romantic feelings. But excessive romantic infatuation can lead to big expenses.

Mirror in front of the door

Red door for south direction

A panacea that saves from many problems associated with an obstructed flow of energies, experts call mirrors that can change or, at least, have a beneficial effect on the feng shui of your home.

However, in Feng Shui at home, a mirror in front of the door cannot be placed, as it will reflect favorable energy, not letting it into the house. There is a belief: if the front door is visible in the reflection of the mirror, then there will never be luck in the house, and the owners will constantly get sick.

But still, it is permissible to hang a small mirror if the corridor of the apartment is too small and cramped for free entry of positive Qi energy into the house. The mirror in this case will create a visual sense of space. There is another solution to this problem - the use of round crystals. They will also visually enlarge the space and disperse the Qi energy in the right directions.

What to do when it is no longer possible to change the placement of the door?

Well, if you are just planning to build a house and can heed the advice. But if nothing can be changed, the house has already been built, and you can’t change the layout of the apartment, what to do then? To reduce the already existing problems associated with the location of the front door, will help: ordinary bells, "wind music" with 7, 8 or 9 pipes, a horseshoe hanging in semicircles up, bundles of coins. At the door under the ceiling, you can hang a crystal ball, which will transform into auspicious and scatter it.
