It is important for Chi to flow through your house
from the front to the back without any obstructions. It is best when chi
flows through a meandering path into your house and not in a straight
line. The chi will flow through the entrance way on the street or from
the garden into your front door. And this path will determine the
quality of the Chi that flows into your house. It is important the Chi
flows in a curved manner, therefore curved pathways or garden beds will
help. You can relay pavers to have curved lines to allow the Chi to
meander. A birdbath or a small pond in the garden will enhance the
quality of Chi.
The main entranceway of your house should also be of the right size. If
the doorway is too big then Chi will easily escape from the house. The
problem can be remedied by placing a wind chime outside the door. This
will prevent Sha or negative energy from entering your house. If the
doorway of your house is too small it will not allow Chi to enter the
house. To correct this problem place a mirror on the wall opposite the
door or on either side of the door. If the back door is visible from the
front door, then Chi will enter through the front door and flow straight
out of the back door without circulating inside the house. Place a tall
potted plant or a screen between the two doors to prevent the Chi from
flowing in a straight line. Doing this will deflect Chi and allow it to
circulate within the house.
The entrance hall is important in Feng Shui. It is the place where a
person might linger when one enters the house or before leaving the
house. One gets energy from the Chi that is flowing through the space.
If the entrance hall has no doors or windows and is enclosed then it can
lead to stagnant Chi. A mirror, a small fountain or a ceiling fan can
solve this problem.
