The front door plays a very special role in feng shui. Often described as the "mouth of chi Cheap Custom Basketball Jerseys Sale ," the front door, is the entryway for energy into your home. Many people never use the actual front door, though, so they often ask if this affects their feng shui. The answer is yes. That's because the front door is usually at the center of the home and faces the road -- a symbol of water -- which equates to wealth.
A key feature of the front door is that it normally is designed to face the view of a road, street, or other feature Cheap Custom Basketball Jerseys Free Shipping , such as a lake. Sometimes a house has a tremendous view of a valley or view of the city or lake at the back of the house.
In that case, the "facing direction" of a house is where the most "yang" energy exists. In these cases, it would be at the rear of the house because of these terrific views. Architecturally, some houses are very small at the front and large and expansive at the rear. This would make the "front" wherever the large, open, and expansive side or view is.
Again Cheap Custom Basketball Jerseys From China , this is uncommon, but it does affect what is considered the front or facing direction. So, look at your house to determine the most "yang side" when you are trying to determine where the front door is on your house. (For more information, see the Red Lotus Letter issue on Determining Your Facing Direction.)
Use the door intended by the architect
More common, is the broad expanse and open front of a house that is positioned facing the street. The door also normally faces the street. This is the most typical situation and it remains the standard arrangement for most houses -- and it's the door intended as the front door by the architect. It is also the place where a delivery person will go if they've never been to your house. Now that we have that established, let's talk about why the "real" front door is so important.
The front door to the house is the doorway of energy. Because it faces the street (a conduit for water) Cheap Custom Basketball Jerseys China , this is an opportunity for wealth energy to enter the house. Therefore, every time you enter your home through the front door, you will be activating the entryway and creating an opportunity for wealth to enter your house.
The front door is also a location of we all know that opportunities often bring greater wealth (raises, increased salaries, windfalls) with them. Also, a house that never has the front door opened is a house that's low in energy -- and that impacts wealth. Because the street is usually in front of the house (which means "water" is at the front) Cheap Custom Basketball Jerseys , opening the door allows water energy to enter in the front of the house -- the ideal location for water in feng shui.
Enter through a side door and watch money slip from your hands
Many people frequently ask if they no longer use the front door and enter the house from the side, or a kitchen door, or a garage door, should they consider that as their "front door"? The answer: absolutely NOT. I will usually ask that person if they are experiencing financial difficulties. In fact, most all have severe financial problems. Use the front door if you would like those problems to lessen.
Enter through the laundry room, kitchen Cheap Custom Jerseys Sale , etc. and see your finances suffer
If you enter the house through a laundry room, you are watching your money go down the drain symbolically, with bills larger than you expected. If you enter through the kitchen, you'll literally "burn through the cash" with one expense cropping up after another -- and it could cause you to gain weight if the kitchen is the first thing you see when you enter the house.
Still, knowing that the front door is so important to enter, many people still insist on using a back door or side door out of convenience. If you are entering through a garage or kitchen or other service room or porch Cheap Custom Jerseys Free Shipping , you are harming your opportunities for more money to come to you. In light of that, isn't it a good idea to use the front door?
Homeschooling means I spend more time with my children - all of them, not just the little ones. My older kids attended a "regular" school for several years before we started homeschooling, and I always felt out of touch with what was going on in their lives. We were growing apart Cheap Custom Jerseys China , both figuratively and literally. Why has society accepted that parents should want to be with the babies and toddlers, but once the kids reach school age, we're supposed to prefer to not have them around? I didn't have children in order to send them off to spend their day with some other adult. I didn't feel that way when they were born, and I don't feel that way today. I deeply enjoy each and every one of my children, and I love having them with me every day.
