door

Listen to poem:
When there are no doors, all and sundry, like the wee willy nilly winds, are welcome to come and go, as they please. Blow-ins, blowouts, are free to enter or leave. But feng shui would like missing doors to be not directly opposed, or for something to lie on path between, to keep the gi energy inside the house. Install a door and everything changes, someone must open it, close it and decide when to keep it open or shut. This depends on the wants, needs, will and whim of the door-keeper, or you if you have a key? Feng shui is happier with doors as the qi energy can't flow straight through. It can be channelled within and absorbed. For feng shui, a strong front door is essential. It's the mouth of qi, where energy flows into the home. The front door should be wooden, clean and bright, uncluttered. The path to the door should be open, clean, bright as well. This allows gi energy from the environs to move smoothly into a home, to enliven the space within. Make your front door a cheerful, bright and welcoming face, for you, and whoever comes to your door.
