Entry way

For proper energy flow, organization is key. Cluttered and disorganized entries block the flow of energy, creating a “stagnant” energy pool that will block you from “seeing” all the opportunities that will flow right past your door. The door should swing open easily and into an open space, meaning that the inside of your entrance should be clutter-free as well. Along with organization, decor such as wind chimes can attract positive energy when the door opens.

The Bagua map is very helpful here in explaining why this guide is used. Considering the facing direction will allow you to optimize the types of energy that are most common in where your door is facing. Remember that attracting auspicious energy is an important reason why the Bagua map is used (grab what is abundant)! The new energy that flows into our home has the additional capacity to move out the old and stale energy that may have been lingering. hence the reason for uncluttered interior entry and fully functional door swing.

While the Bagua map is important, there are nuances to it. A home is a reflection of those who live there, so it’s ok to “tweek” the energy that our home attracts. For example, the highest energy attraction is the Fire Element of red. A south facing red door will tend to attract more of that energy. But is high energy red the best addition to the energy of that space and those who live in it? Perhaps a deep, calming navy blue and black that represents the Water Element is more fitting for that family.
