Your house also speaks volumes about your life at the entrance. The typical homeowner rarely uses the front door and those that do reap the benefits. Sadly the front door is usually relegated to FedEx deliveries and the UPS man. But if you ignore the entrance to your home, you are depriving your life of opportunities and advancement. In feng shui the front door is called the mouth of chi. This is where chi, or energy, enters the home. If the front door does not look auspicious or beautiful and isn’t regularly used, the result is limited potential. Growth slows and opportunities grind to a halt.

Look at your front door and see if you can’t improve the impression your home gives. And, yes, impressions do count. Beauty creates beautiful energy called sheng chi. Sheng chi is enhanced by dappled shade, light breezes, pretty flowers, and a well-kept appearance. When you have a beautiful entryway to your home, you invite this beautiful and auspicious energy into your home each time you open the door. If, however, your door has peeling paint, cracks in the sidewalk or dead plants, you invite negative energy called shar chi. But whether you have sheng chi or shar chi at your front door, it’s important to know that both kinds of energy grow.

When you continue to maintain and improve the appearance and upkeep of the front of your house, you cultivate your home’s sheng chi. Doing so provides benefits to everyone in the house. Beautiful sheng chi energy creates well-being in the house and in the residents. Shar chi grows too and when it does, it becomes more yin, more negative. That’s why when you see houses that seem to be declining they will continue to decline.

As my friend, Sally Francis' husband, Deryl, says, Westerners build muscle and Easterners build chi. Make it a point to build your wealth chi in and around your house to lift your spirit, maximize your enjoyment of your home and bring you the wealth and opportunities you want.
