The front door is to the home what the mouth is to face. It is the ‘mouth of the chi’ and breathes vital life-force energy into your home. Keep it fresh and uncluttered. Remove trash cans, recycling bins, old newspapers, shoes, etc. Overgrowth and dead plants create blockages, converts positive chi to negative stagnation.

A door that won’t open smoothly or is worn down with peeling paint is like having sores on your mouth and cracked dried lips. When negative chi enters into your home it affects all occupants. A new door or a fresh coat of paint lifts the energy of the home. A smile at the front door brings happiness into your home. Positive chi brings abundance and prosperity.
