The Main Front Door - Feng Shui Guidelines For Important Areas Of Home

The Main Front Door

The first most important is the location of the main door. It should be in a GOOD location and facing a GOOD direction.

• The door is like our mouth. If you take good food, you will be healthy and well. If you take bad food you will fall sick.
• The door must open inwards.
• A main door area should be well lit to attract Chi (Good energies) and provide a welcoming atmosphere.
• It should be well kept neat, tidy, painted and free of all hurdles. 
• Do not block the movement of the door by placing a cupboard, for example, immediately behind it.
• It should not be directly opposite or facing the corners of wall or furniture.
• It should NOT directly face another door or window.
• A main door should not be opposite the main door of another house.
• You should NOT face a mirror as soon as you enter your house.
• There should not be a clock as soon as one enters a house. 
• If there is a staircase inside the house, you must turn the last few steps.
• Main door facing stairs (going UP) is good. Main door facing stairs (going DOWN) is bad. Cure – Put bamboo tree beside the main door.
• It should NOT be positioned under any beam. Cure – Make an ARC. 
• If the main door facing another door. Cure – Put curtains or partition.
• There should NOT be any electrical poles, lampposts or trees erected in front of the entrance. Cure – Big earthen pot/ water in front of the tree. Tie red ribbon to the electrical poles, lampposts. Tie yellow ribbon to the tree. If a tree facing the house, then fix a 6/7 – rod wind chime. Structures in front of the house, put plants or paints the outside wall green. 
• Split doors must be of equal width.
• There should be no exposed sewage grilles in front of the main door.
• A main door facing frequent and violent winds is also very unhealthy.
• The main door should not be directly opposite to the lift.
• Do not have main door and the back door in a straight line.
• Avoid having 2 separate doors on one wall.
• A solid wall at a distant from main entry is recommended, it will redirect the chi to different part of the house.
