Feng Shui Your Mouth of Chi

In feng shui, the 'mouth of chi' is the front door. This is the area of the home that welcomes new opportunities, new people and new social activities. Depending on where your front door is located according to the bagua map, you may be unknowingly infecting your career with stagnant chi.

Having been in hundreds of homes across the U.S., I can recall many of the front entryways and front doors that not only discouraged positive chi (energy) from entering, but also discouraged me from entering as well! Like the time I went to feng shui a house and as I walked upon the entryway to the front door, I was poked by several overgrown, bare rose bushes acting as little swords trying their best to keep me from getting to the front door. I received several little scratches on my legs which is not good feng shui!

Then there was the time where I was greeted with dozens of cobwebs completely surrounding the front door. When I knocked on the front door a bug or something gross fell on my hand! Yikes, I ran from the door. I'll save the 'inside' story for another post.

And, I giggle every time I think about the house that had a tiny little welcome mat the size of a place mat. In fact, now that I think about it - it may have been a place mat with room for only one foot, or two baby feet!

With that, here are a few suggestions for uplifting your 'mouth of chi' so you may bring a smile to all who enter. Remember, when you give your house some love it will give you prosperity and abundance in return.

  1. Sweep the front porch.
  2. Wash the front door and polish the hardware.
  3. Get a new welcome mat - a BIG one!
  4. Add a planter with colorful flowers.
  5. Hose off or sweep away any cobwebs around door.
  6. Dust off the entry light and make sure light bulbs are working.
  7. Please trim the prickly plants on the walkway.
  8. Remove clutter and garbage from front door area.
  9. Take down your holiday decorations! It's April for goodness sakes!
  10. Add a water feature such as a fountain to encourage cash flow and abundance.
Live Inspired!
