When it comes to attracting good Chi into your home, the front door is where it all starts. In Feng Shui, the front door is where positive energy enters and flows. So, if you’re coming home and not feeling a sense of calm or peace, then it may well be due to your entryway. This post talks about front door Feng Shui decoration, front door Feng Shui lighting and much more. Here are my top tips on Feng Shui rules for front doors.
Front Door Tips – Remove Clutter & Clean
As with other areas of your home, you should first start by decluttering and clearing the space leading up to your front door. According to Feng Shui principles, the front door of your house represents the mouth of the home. So, make sure it’s easy to access by keeping it clear of clutter, allowing for clear and smooth communication.
You want positive energy to enter and move throughout your house easily but if things are cluttering the path or front entrance, Chi won’t flow freely. Regularly clear the area, clean up the dead leaves, cobwebs and so on, especially in the winter when the focus isn’t so much on the home’s exterior. To achieve successful Feng Shui decor, make sure the trees or hanging decorations are not causing an obstruction.
Also, ensure the house number is visible from the street. Think about it from the perspective of inviting a guest to your home. If they can’t easily find your home because the number isn’t visible, then how can you expect Chi to do the same?
Simple maintenance on the front door is important. First, give it a good clean. Make sure the windows and surfaces are clean. Check that the door handle isn’t loose. Next, sweep the porch and tuck away any unused items.
Unused Front Doors, Side Door and Garage access
People often use a side door or enter their home through the garage these days. If that’s the case within your home, exit your front door at least once a day, inviting positive energy in as you walk back inside. To invite Feng Shui to your front door, here are the steps to follow: step out of your front door, ground yourself for a few seconds, then come back inside. By doing this, you encourage good energy to come back with you.Also, welcome your guests through the front door, which allows you to receive the positive Chi and any opportunities that it brings.
Curb Appeal
An attractive entrance will always be more inviting than one that’s been left unattended. I’m sure you’d feel the same way if you were to compare two doors and were choosing which one to walk up to! Place some front door plants (a pair is best for balance) to set the tone and create curb appeal.
While you want good energy to flow into your home, you don’t want it crashing in at light speed. Avoid using a straight walkway to the door to prevent this. Create the illusion of a meandering walkway by placing small shrubs or year-round green plants on the path. Adding fragrant flowers and plants also helps to welcome the positive Chi to your house.
Do you live on a T-junction, crossroads, or opposite a busy public space like a hospital, school or place of business? These areas can create forceful, harsh energy known as Sha Chi, also known as a ‘poison arrow’. This type of force tends to weaken your energy, leaving people feeling restless and unstable. Slow this energy down before entering your home by creating energetic barriers using plants, small shrubs or a fence. These create a cushion-like effect of the Sha Chi. These barriers have the bonus of reducing the harsh glare from car headlights and reducing the loud noise of traffic moving through the area. I can also suggest other remedies, such as to Feng Shui with crystals, to correct the energetic balance after reviewing your front door during a consultation. Different entrances and directions require specific remedies, so do speak to me if you’re unsure!
Front Door Lighting
Feng Shui front door lighting can be added to ensure a continual attraction of positive energy towards your home; and to make sure the area is well lit. Keep your lighting clean and change any burnt-out bulbs. Also, keep any glass in or around your front door spotless so that the area stays bright and fresh. If your entrance is at the side, add lighting and entry door plants to guide the Chi to the area. And you can encourage it further by choosing a wooden door, as this represents prosperity, growth and good health.
Feng Shui rules for the front door
Colour and decor are great ways to invite Chi into your home. Choose a colourful outdoor area rug or mat, but avoid anything with distinct religious writing or affirmations, as it’s disrespectful to step on those words.
You can also add a wreath to the front door, but avoid dried flowers and opt for silk ones instead. If there’s space, add a piece of vibrant artwork to your porch area.
Live in an apartment, town-home, or your office door is in a corridor where they all look the same? You can get creative with some pretty door decor to make your entrance look more inviting. I had one client recently who loves bling, so she added a little glitter to her peephole! Likewise, you could add bells to the handle so that every time the door opens and closes, the bells “excite” the Chi in the area and invites it in. Of course, these are just a few ideas, so feel free to come up with your own!
If you’d like me to view your entrance or answer your questions like what is the best Feng Shui front door colour or in Feng Shui, what direction should the front door face, do get in touch with me!
As a Realtor, you have many responsibilities when it comes to helping your clients sell their homes or work through the process of buying a new one. You’re researching the market, looking for the perfect homes to show them, and planning open houses. That’s all before you even get started with closing a sale. So, it’s not surprising that the idea of Feng Shui is the farthest thing from your mind. But Feng Shui can be the difference between your clients’ home selling quickly or sitting on the market for weeks or even months. If you’ve found the perfect home for your clients and they’re not sure, having a Feng Shui Consultant assess it for them could help them make the right decision. Here’s how Realtors can benefit from working with a Feng Shui Consultant.
Why Work With A Feng Shui Consultant?
Yes, it’s true that you can research some of the facts about Feng Shui by doing a little search online. As no two homes are alike, each home should be assessed on a case by case basis. It’s not only about the physical features, like room locations and the front door position, but also because of the people living there. A Feng Shui Consultant will take a complete and detailed assessment of every aspect of the home to give a fair and honest Feng Shui appraisal.
As you know, the purchase of a home is a significant investment for most people. Your clients would appreciate a considered buy that will bring them prosperity and positive energy over an impulse one resulting in negative energy.
Selling A Home
Involving a Feng Shui Consultant in the sale of your clients’ property can result in a quick sale for a good price. Isn’t that what all homeowners want to achieve?
I start by doing a walkthrough of your client’s home, immediately removing any items that are cutting into the positive energy of the space. Even after this quick remedy, people often walk back into their homes and feel a sense of calm for reasons they can’t quite put their finger on. And it won’t just be the owners who will notice it. Potential buyers will pick up on it, too, and that’s a guaranteed way to get a sale in record time.
I use Classical Feng Shui rituals and remedies in the assessment and treatment of your clients’ homes. I assess and obtain the compass reading in the house’s facing direction, making recommendations about where to place things inside based on my findings. I then use a space clearing ritual to detach the current owner’s energy, allowing potential buyers to visualise themselves within the space. Once a person starts to do that, the promise of a sale is usually imminent!
I also provide affirmations and small rituals for the entire family currently living in the home to help release it, which encourages a quick sale. These rituals and remedies work. I’ve seen many homeowners, stuck with a home that wasn’t selling, go on to sell their property quickly and for an excellent price after working through this process with me.
That’s why many Interior Designers and Home Stagers will also choose to work with a Feng Shui Consultant. They know it will bring about speedy results for their clients selling their homes.
Buying A Home
I often assist in assessing homes on a client’s shortlist. I can help give them the energetic platform on which to base this most crucial decision.
As a Feng Shui Consultant, there are many things I’m looking at when I advise clients about some of the homes they have shortlisted. First of all, I base my search on the primary breadwinner’s personal trigram to find the best-suited home for them.
This includes home numbers and the bedroom location unique to them, and the main area where the family will spend most of their time. I spend time checking that the good numbers in the home fall in the key areas, such as the living room, the kitchen, bedroom, and home office. I also check that the less favorable numbers are in areas that are not used often, such as in the garage, laundry rooms, and bathrooms.
I spend time looking for any negative aspects that might affect Classical Feng Shui, such as the location of the kitchen, bathrooms, stairs or front door. It’s also important to consider the type of ceilings in the property and any shapes or colours that appear in the home.
Outside of the home itself, external factors can have a bearing on the home’s energy. I assess this by looking at where the home is located on the street and the front door’s placement, which is where positive Chi will enter the property.
Finally, I’ll even check the home’s history by looking at its previous owners to determine if there is stagnant energy that needs to be released there.
As you can see, there’s a lot more a Feng Shui Consultant can do to assist with the sale or purchase of a home for your clients. So if you’d like to find out more about working with me, do get in touch!
I often am asked to explain what Feng Shui is and how it is beneficial to my clients and their families. To help better understand the benefits of Feng Shui, I’ve put together this overview of Feng Shui for beginners. I’ve also included a few ways to apply Feng Shui principles and practices in your life easily.
What Does Feng Shui mean?
The ancient art of Feng Shui is a practice that has been around for more than 5000 years and one that is still incredibly relevant today. It can be applied at Home, in Business, and even in Real Estate.
Feng Shui for Beginners – Let’s start at the beginning. Feng Shui translates to “wind and water.” Pronounced fung shway, it’s the ancient Chinese art form of placement. Ultimately, what Feng Shui does is promote the flow and movement of good energy, or Chi (sometimes written as Qi), in the space that you occupy. It does this in several different ways (see below). But Feng Shui is not just about where you place your sofa or bed. Feng Shui works to create balance in all areas of your life, including Health, Wealth, Career and Relationships.
It might seem magical and mystical, but the effects of Feng Shui are proven to work. Studies show that using Feng Shui’s principles to rearrange your office or bedroom has resulted in greater productivity and better sleep patterns.It’s important to note that there are different schools of Feng Shui. As a Classical Feng Shui Master, I focus on the more traditional principles of this art form.
How Feng Shui works
The main aim of Feng Shui is to balance Chi using the five elements – Fire, Wood, Water, Metal and Earth – and colour schemes.As a Feng Shui Master, I provide my clients with advice and guidance about arranging their space, placing these elements, and incorporating colour to promote energy flow.You may be wondering why we often feel a direct connection to our Homes and possessions and why you can sense when changes have been made.It’s because the same energy we have in our Homes is also inside of us.In short, how we decorate and layout our Home can have an immediate and distinct effect on every aspect of our lives.
The Five Elements of Feng Shui
Where and how the five elements interact in your home will affect the flow of Chi and influence your wellbeing. Here is a quick overview of the characteristics and associations of each element:
Element #1: Fire
The element of heat, summer, and enthusiasm; nature at its peak of growth, and warmth in human relationships
Represented by the colour red and a pointed, triangled shape
Associated with dynamic, energetic, passionate, enterprising energies due to its upward motion
Element #2: Wood
The element of spring; the creative urge to achieve
Represented by the colour green and a rectangle shape
Associated with the capacity to look forward, plan and make decisions, hence growth and expansion
Element #3: Water
The ultimate yin; quiet, cold; representing the resting time of winter
Governs the balance between fear of being exploited and the desire to dominate
Represented by the colour black/ blue and a wave-like shape
Element #4: Metal
The force of gravity, the minerals within the earth, the patterns of the heavenly bodies and the powers of electrical conductivity and magnetism
Energy is consolidating and with inward movements, like a flower closing its petals
Represented by the colour white, gray and metallic shades and round shapes
Element #5: Earth
The element of harvest time, abundance, nourishment, fertility
Regarded as central to balance and the place where energy becomes downward in movement, a change of seasons
Represented by the colour yellow and a square shape, Earth’s motion is patient, reliable, logical, governed by service and duty to others.
To work out the best places for these elements in your home in Classical Feng Shui, creating an energy map of the space is essential. This map, called a Bagua, defines the eight areas of your home, with each area being responsible for influencing a particular area of your life.
The Bagua Areas of Feng Shui
The eight Bagua areas each relate to an area of your life and wellbeing. They also link to one of the five elements.
South – Fame and Reputation
Southwest – Love and Marriage
West – Children, Creativity and New Beginnings
Northwest – Helpful people and Travel
North – Career and Life’s Journey
Northeast – Knowledge, Wisdom and Meditation
East – Family and Community
Southeast – Wealth and Prosperity
The compass direction of your front door defines where each of these areas fall in your home (for example, if your door is facing west, your energy will focus on Children, Creativity, and New Beginnings). By discovering where each room of your home falls on the Bagua, you can place the elements accordingly and add supporting colour schemes to enhance the flow of Chi.
How Colour Schemes Affect Feng Shui
The use of colour in Feng Shui is significant, particularly when you realize that colour itself is how we perceive different light waves. Light is also energy, as with everything else. This means colour is also energy and has a significant effect on our wellbeing, just as the elements do. In Feng Shui, different colours carry different types of energy and interact with the five elements. Specific colours work best with each of the elements (for example, white with Metal and black for Water) and, in turn, the different Bagua areas based on the Compass calculation (the actual, magnetic and compass direction (course, bearing) by a given direction, magnetic declination and deviation).
One of the critical aspects of Feng Shui is the placement and position of items around your Home. This is something that has been well popularised over the years. It’ll also be the first thing that most people will think of when learning about Feng Shui. Yes, it’s worth knowing certain things, but the quickest and most straightforward advice I could offer to a beginner is this – declutter your space. It’s the first, most crucial step you can take towards introducing good energy flow through your living space. When you’re ready to place the elements and colour schemes according to your Feng Shui study, the area will be prepared to receive the positive energy.I hope you’ve found this simple explanation of the art of Feng Shui helpful.

A Feng Shui consultation is about adjusting and improving energy flow around your home to create better balance in your life. Small changes, like adding a mirror to a space or putting up some art, right through to more significant adjustments, can make a world of difference. But it can be hard to know where to start. That’s where I come in! Here’s how to prepare your home for a Feng Shui Consultation, so you get the most benefits possible.
Before Your Consultation
A successful consultation is about good preparation. So, before we meet, I ask for some information from you.
First, there’s a questionnaire to complete, which helps me focus on the areas of importance during our consultation. The questions ask for pertinent information, such as the residents’ birth data and any questions or concerns you might have at this point for me to address in the study.
I’ll also ask for a copy of your house plan or floor plan. This is a document you can get from City Hall if you don’t already have one. Some charge a small fee, others give it for free, depending on your location.
Using this information, along with compass readings which are an important part of Classical Feng Shui, I make my calculations and identify areas of imbalance among the five Feng Shui energies in any living environment before overlaying it on the floor plan. From here, I then produce a report with my recommendations and plan your in-home visit or online meeting.
In-Person Consultations
The next step is to schedule a meeting at your home.
Home consultations vary in length, depending on your needs, questions and the size of your home. But, to give you some idea, it lasts for a minimum of two hours.
I come prepared with your customized binder, which includes a detailed written report and Personal Trigrams of all primary members of the household (to suggest your personal best directions and power colors, etc). I do a walkthrough of your home with you, detailing my findings and recommendations in your case study. I aim to give you a clear plan to execute to improve the energy flow in your home. I expect you’ll have questions, so this is the time to ask me anything you want to know. I want to be sure it all makes sense to you before I leave.
Your consultation ends with a meditation and Energy Clearing Ritual. This is a complementary addition to Feng Shui consultations. It helps to balance and clear negativity and stagnant energy from your home accumulated over time.
Online Consultations
The internet has made it possible for me to extend my Feng Shui consultations to you virtually. Online consultations are an obvious choice for people who are not comfortable with me coming into their home right now. Mostly, that means my services are accessible to you, even if you’re not in the lower mainland of BC.
An online consultation works much like a home consultation, with a few differences. As before, I sent you a questionnaire and asked you for your home plan. I also ask you to send photographs and a walkthrough video of your home. Don’t worry, I give you full instructions on how to do this when you book in.
Once I’ve put together your case study, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining all areas of your living space and also all the household members’ Personal Trigrams. I schedule a Zoom meeting with you to go through everything. This is the equivalent of me walking through your home. I guide you through the recommendations I’ve made, and you can ask questions as we talk.
The online consultation doesn’t include a space clearing ceremony but I do guide you through it, which makes you better equipped to do it whenever you feel your home needs it in the future.
What You’ll Get
The Feng Shui consultation gives you lots of detailed information to help the energy flow around your home.
You’ll receive:
A full, detailed written report, either given to you during our visit or emailed to you to read at your leisure.
Personal Trigrams for all the primary members of the household.
Feng Shui tips for each room of your house.
Recommendations on choosing appropriate colours, how to arrange your furniture and what decor will enhance different areas of your life. Areas of focus can be anything from health to wealth, career, fame and business relationships, love, family, travel and self-cultivation.
Recommendations on how to clear your clutter and improve the flow of energy around your home.
Useful affirmations and guidance you can use alongside your new Feng Shui space and intentions.
Extra supporting materials and resources. There’s also additional assistance to declutter or beautify your space or adjust to new energetic flows or intentions. This is available as an hourly service.
Responses to any questions you might have following your consultation. You can email or message me, and I’ll be happy to help if your in-depth report does not cover it.
And, for face-to-face consultations, you’ll also receive the Space Clearing Ceremony, where I use Zenergy Chimes, Sage, sound and ritual to bring in fresh, new energy into your home.
So, if you’re ready to book your Feng Shui consultation, do get in touch with me and look forward to improved energy flow in your home.
Do you ever get that sense that there’s negative energy in a room in your home? Don’t ignore those instincts or feelings. It’s worth placing a Salt Water Cure in your home to remove that negative energy, allowing the good Chi to flow through again. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Salt Water Cure. You’ll learn what it is and how and where to place it in your home or office space.
What is a Salt Water Cure, and what does it do?
As the name suggests, a Salt Water Cure is a powerful cure that works to disperse and absorb any negative energy from wherever it’s placed. This could be in your home or office, wherever you feel there’s negative energy that requires removing.
Many ancient cultures state that salt has cleansing properties. It’s also thought to ward off negative energy. Combined with water, it becomes a powerful cleansing tool. The addition of the metal coins helps to stimulate a chemical reaction, allowing the negative energy to be dispersed and absorbed.
Salt Water Cure must be replaced every 12 months or at the beginning of the Feng Shui New Year in February when we renew the remedies in Classical Feng Shui. In some cases, it may build up an overflow of salt crystals from the top, depending on how much negative energy it receives. Keep an eye on the container; if it looks like it has done a lot of work and has become unmanageable in growth, then replace it with a new one.
Salt Water Cure
A Salt Water Cure consists of Himalayan Salt, which should be the highest quality you can find, a glass container, six brass I-Ching coins, and water. For the best results, the coins should come from a prosperous Dynasty, be cleared of any negative energy, and be empowered with positive energy.
You should repeat this practice each year at the beginning of February when the remedies in Classical Feng Shui are renewed. It may be that your Salt Water Cure creates a significant build-up of salt crystals due to the amount of negative energy it is absorbing. If it starts to become unmanageable as a result, you can replace it sooner.
Where to place your Salt Water Cure
Choosing a location for your Salt Water Cure is vital as negative energy moves from year to year. The location of the annual stars can help to determine this.
Once you know your location, place the cure somewhere safe, where it can’t be knocked, moved, or tampered with. This helps to avoid disturbing any of the accumulated negative energy. I recommend placing it behind a sofa, a decorative object, or a full plant, but ensure it’s somewhere you can easily access it so you can add water as needed. It’s worth placing the cure in a dish or earthenware, or ceramic planter, as sometimes it can overflow onto the floor. Keep the container open and uncovered. Don’t place it inside a cupboard or enclosed space.
Disposing of your Salt Water Cure
It would be best if you gave proper care and attention to the disposal of your Salt Water Cure at the end of the 12-month period. This is because it will have absorbed and built up a lot of negative energy in that time. You shouldn’t clean the coins or bowl and reuse them. Instead, dispose of the entire cure properly and start with a fresh new Salt Water Cure. The best way is to discard it entirely in the recycle bin. That way, you are literally throwing out the negative energy that the cure has removed from your home or office!

I’m here to help you create a balanced, beautiful & harmonious space with the guidance of Classical Feng Shui principles. Learn more about my offer to you and book a introductory meeting with me. Let’s see how we can invite Feng Shui energy into your life
If you work from home or use your smartphone or computer in your business, they may help or hinder your efforts to be more efficient and effective. Most of us use these devices in our everyday life and jobs. Each moment spent on the device can bring about bad Chi and negative energy into our environment.
No one wants to wake up and dread the work day ahead of them so using classical Feng Shui principles to help de-clutter and de-stress our devices can be an amazing way to encourage those positive emotions in our daily routine.
By simply applying the following tips, it can help you and your subconscious mind attract new possibilities and opportunities for wealth, growth and fame.
Keep the Phone and Computer files clutter-free, delete old phone numbers that no longer serve you, clear out old, rarely used emails and files and stay current. When information is hard to find, we get frustrated and this clouds our interactions and the ability to think clearly. By clearing out old information, you create room for new clients and business to come your way. That also goes for the Trash Folder…once they’re deleted, they still haven’t left. By keeping the recycle bin clear, you will truly remove the files and extra clutter.
In the same way that you want to have plenty of free space in your surroundings for the Chi to flow freely, you also need to have ample space and memory on your device. Sluggish, slow moving Chi without ample free space is not conducive for new opportunities to come into your inbox.
Keep your screen clean to allow new experiences, people and prospects to enter in your life and business. When its full of dirty, greasy fingerprints, it will prevent you from seeing the opportunities that are coming your way.
Make sure the desktop image you choose is inspirational and welcoming. Waterfalls, Family Pictures, Vacation spot photos you love and pictures of calm water/beaches all make great images to keep in front of you. Choose vibrant colors to encourage clarity, energy and positivity.
Attempt to open your devices every day for at least few minutes for Chi to flow as it needs to be fresh. Stale Chi can get trapped and can’t escape just like when we open windows to let in fresh air.
Choose a password that inspires you as this is a simple yet highly effective way to send your higher self a positive reminder. Change it regularly to generate fresh and positive energy.
Protection is an important key in Feng Shui and that also applies to your devices. When you take protective actions to enhance your peace of mind and diminish your vulnerability, you are strengthening the positive Chi. Make sure your information is protected by installing protective software and virus detectors.
