A
well maintained meandering path that leads to a red door, with gleaming
hardware, flanked by lush plantings and perhaps a fountains’ calming trickle
can be heard along the way.
Sounds
welcoming, right?
Incorporating
the 5 elements of Feng Shui can invite not only your guests but prosperity,
good energy, and harmony to your home.
Wood,
Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water should be present prior to passing through your
front door. By doing so, you allow the Seng Chi
(beneficial energy) to enter and permeate your dwelling. Each element can be
represented in items surrounding your homes’ entrance. Wood can be in the form of plants and trees
with a vertical formation, achieving this with containers and plantings.
Fire
can be revealed in your front door color, painting it red will invite
prosperity to those who live inside. To
present Earth in the mix, the use of low and flat surfaces can produce desired
balance, i.e. a pathway of flagstone or rectangular shaped stepping stones. Metal, is self explanatory, beautiful and
simple hardware and a door knocker are essential. Lastly, Water, could be a fountain close by,
or a dark vessel, gazing ball, or any reflective surface with placement
considered.
A decision to “Feng Shui” your entrance will promote the
potential for harmony and prosperity.
I am pretty sure we are all looking for more of that in our lives.
