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.

What Is Feng Shui And Bagua Map ?

Feng shui (pronounced "fung shway"), the Chinese discipline that teaches us how to attract and enhance our life energy (called chi) according to how our homes are arranged. But do you know how to put it to work for you?

You only need to know two things to get started:

 What is a bagua and how do I use it?  A bagua is a feng shui road map. It divides your home into nine sections (called guas) that correspond to the nine main areas of your life. The graphic below is a representation of a bagua. Your front door opens up into the skills & knowledge, career or helpful people gua. From there, you can divide your space up into nine parts and find each of your other guas. 

The bagua is considered the "map of feng shui." It is designed to help you figure out which parts of your home correspond to each of the nine areas of your life.

How do I use it?

Each different colored area (or gua) corresponds with one of the life areas. To overlay the bagua on your home or work floor plan, stand at the threshold of the architecturally intended (not the one you happen to enter most often) front door facing in and hold the diagram so that the blue, black and gray guas are closest to you. Pretend you can draw a line straight across the front of the home where the door is: that would be the line at the bottom of this color chart. Now that you have the correct orientation, just divide your space up into nine guas as if you were cutting a square cake up into nine pieces. It helps to think of them as nine squares for this exercise -- like a little tic-tac-toe board overlaid on your house.

What if my front door isn't clear?A lot of people at this point feel that they can't go on because their door is at some strange angle or is confusing for some other reason. If you are confused about the front door, then just do each room individually using the door to that particular room as the starting point to overlay and orient the bagua.

I am Emphasizing on the Bagua Maps as this is the base of Feng Shui.
