I was outside planting some new spring flowers last week and it occurred to me how tranquil the walkway reaching my house had become. I decided to let you know a few of the feng shui tips I use that are available to use at your home as well.
Don’t hide your home with tall shrubs along the walkways path. They will block, weaken and possibly remove the good chi winding its way towards your home. Keep them low and neatly trimmed. It won’t hurt to add a bit of height, only take care if they seem to be blocking the view of your front door, it just my be time for a trim.
Keep your sidewalks swept up, clean and free of debris. There is nothing like an untidy entrance to interfere with the progress of good energy headed your way. Take the time to replace old or worn out doormats. They mark the opening to your home and this is the place in which you want to invite in good and happy vibrations not discourage their entrance.
If this is the area your mail is received as well, take note that your mailbox is clean and shiny, especially if it is made of metal. Your house numbers, too, will influence chi to stray so if they have seen better days, either get out your paints, your cleaners, or replace them entirely. The minimal cost will bring maximum returns!
Are there burned out bulbs? Replace them. Lose or hanging shutters? Reattach immediately. Dead shrubs, trees or flowers? Dig up and either replace or repair the damaged area where they were removed. You will not want to leave evidence of a former problem; the chi will notice and stop to ponder the problem rather than continuing along its energetic path towards your door.
Another tip is to avoid straight walkways if at all possible. A straight walkway allows chi to move too quickly causing it to shoot right past your door. If the straight path is inevitable, soften it by planting plants every few feet along its edges. This will form small graceful curves encouraging the chi to meander rather than gallop along on its way.
Lastly, add a water feature if possible. We don’t all have the wear with all to have huge flowing fountains, but even the simplicity of a small birdbath can introduce the chi to your home in a quiet and peaceful way. You may also place a shallow bowl in which a single fresh flower is allowed to float. Look forward to the tranquility that will soon be heading your way.
Peace.
