Feng Shui front or front door. How to position the front door according to Feng Shui Feng Shui front door

feng shui front door- this is the location of the entrance to the house relative to the cardinal points, taking into account the magnetic declination (compass direction of the front door). Further, during the analysis, it is determined what quality the Qi energy enters the house and how (positively or negatively) it affects the people living in this house - their luck, well-being, finances, family relationships, etc.

Compass direction of the front door. Why know and why use?

In Feng Shui, the Lopan is used - this is a Chinese magnetic compass. One of his rings divides the circle into 24 sectors and corresponds to a certain element (for example, Dog, Rat, etc. or yang water, yin water, etc.). Knowing the degree of entrance to a house, apartment, office or other building, we can find out which of the 24 sectors this door falls into in Feng Shui.

How can you determine the degree of the front door of a house and apartment in Feng Shui?

This is of course with the help of a classic compass, a compass on a smartphone, and also with the help of online tools.

Each method has both pros and cons.
A classic compass can be useful when there are magnetic anomalies in a given area that cannot be determined online. When determining the online direction of the front door of the house, we also depend on the accuracy of the maps - there may also be inaccuracies (if the house is located along the main axes, then this is good, but if it is somehow oblique, then it is already more difficult). But measuring with a compass can also cause difficulty - this is interference and the accuracy of the compass relative to the object.

It is advisable to measure the direction of the front door according to Feng Shui in several ways and already compare the results. If there is an ordinary compass, then you can measure it with it.

To measure the direction of the front door (facade) of the house with a compass you need to have a good compass and place it on a square board (this is to make it easier to match the compass to the wall - it should be parallel to the front side of the board, and the direction itself is perpendicular to the wall of the house). To correctly determine the perpendicular, it is better to become facing the house (accordingly, then the degree of the direction of the facade will be the one that is closer to you on the scale). Next, you need to turn the compass wheel so that the end of the arrow pointing north coincides with the letter "N". As mentioned above, the degree of the facade will be the one that is closest to you on the scale and perpendicular to the wall of the house. But that's not all. The geographic and magnetic north poles do not match. And so on still need to take into account the magnetic declination(for each locality it will be different) and correct the already found degree of the direction of the facade in accordance with the magnetic deviation.

Consider determining the degree of the entrance (the compass direction of the front door according to Feng Shui) using online tools.

But before proceeding with the measurement, let's figure out what an entrance (front door) is.

For an apartment, which is located in a multi-storey building and has an entrance to the house through the entrance, will be considered the entrance, which must be determined - the entrance to the entrance, and not the entrance to the apartment. But if the apartment is located in a multi-storey building, for example, on the ground floor and has a separate entrance, then it will be considered the input for determining the degree. The same is true for offices or shops that are located in high-rise buildings.

For a private house: if it has one entrance door, then it is clear that it is necessary to determine the degree from it, if there are several entrances, then the one that is most often used. If there is a fully glazed porch, veranda (with an entrance door), then we measure the degree of entrance by this entrance door.

The Chinese teaching of Feng Shui (wind and water) is aimed at creating a harmonious living environment. Home improvement plays an important role, since it determines the health and well-being of all its inhabitants. The front door is the "mouth" through which the main flows of qi flow into the house. The correct balance between shen qi and sha qi, that is, positive and negative energy, will depend on its location.

When building a house, the position of the front door in Feng Shui is determined by the rule of four animals. According to him, in front of the building there should be a zone of the Red Phoenix, which corresponds to the southern direction. However, if we are talking about modern urban skyscrapers or ready-made cottages, then the exits to them can be located in any direction. What should you pay attention to when choosing a home to ensure your comfort and prosperity?

It is important not only the location of the front door, but also what is in front of the house. The more free space around the building, the better the circulation of qi energy will be. It is necessary to take into account the presence of reflectors, which include the following:

• gabled roofs;
• television antennas;
• drains;
• sharp corners of neighboring houses;
• road forks;
• narrow passages;
• lampposts.

According to feng shui, all these objects are able to concentrate negative sha qi. For those who care about the well-being of their home, it is important to ensure that such energy flows are not directed towards the entrance to the house. For buildings that have already been built, various feng shui techniques are used to offset the negative impact.

The front door is a kind of barrier that protects the inhabitants of the house from unwanted influences. It should look aesthetically pleasing and be strong enough. The front door should open inward, this is how it will let the positive sheng qi into the house and keep it. Windows, if they are near doorways or vice versa, are covered with curtains. Indoor plants also allow you to keep the flow of energy.

In terms of size, a medium-sized front door would be preferable. A large opening will create material problems, and a small one will lead to quarrels between households. It is important that the door is in good condition, without squeaks, warps of the canvas. Jamming locks are important to change or repair in a timely manner, and lubricate the hinges.

What influences the direction of the front door of the house?

According to the rules of Feng Shui, any room is divided into nine sectors, according to the cardinal points. Each zone, defined by the bagua octagon, is responsible for certain aspects of a person's life. The technique involves the connection of the cardinal points with the elements of the Chinese horoscope: Earth, Wood, Metal, Water and Fire. With the help of the bagua mesh, you can determine which zone the front door belongs to.

North facing door

The North direction corresponds to the element of Water. This area is responsible for career growth. The location of the front door to the north gives calmness, regularity, peace to all the inhabitants of the house. The flip side of this arrangement can be apathy and lethargy. To avoid this, you should add some energy of the south (fire), for example, place a couple of bright red or yellow decorative elements.

Door - northwest

In the traditional Feng Shui system, the direction of the front door to the northwest, as well as the sector adjacent to it, is associated with the older man or head of the family. This position of the entrance helps to strengthen his leadership position and the general atmosphere of respect in the family. The zone is also responsible for the successful acquisition of knowledge. Northwest corresponds to the element Earth.

Entrance from the northeast

The energy of the northeast is quite active and favorable for the younger generation if they are studying or doing scientific research. However, more mature family members may experience discomfort, suffer from insomnia. In this case, it is worth using objects that reflect and scatter a strong energy flow, for example, crystals.

East facing door

The rising sun endows this side of the world with seething energy. The direction is ideal for young people who are just starting out in life and striving to climb the career ladder. Such an arrangement of the front door is considered the most favorable in Feng Shui, since it helps to improve the health of people living in the house and ensures success in business. East corresponds to the element Wood.

If the door faces southeast

This direction of the front door, according to Feng Shui, contributes to the accumulation of wealth. The process is slow but steady. A family living in such a house will never feel needy. The earth element, which corresponds to the southeast, is quite conservative and is best suited to middle-aged and older people. Young people can revive the area with houseplants. It should be noted that the southeast direction is favorable for those who work on long-term projects.

south facing door

In the Celestial Empire, all residential buildings were traditionally built with a south facing facade. According to Feng Shui, this direction of the front door contributes to gaining fame, helps to establish connections and lead an active social life. The element of Fire, corresponding to the southern direction, enhances the energy of the inhabitants of the dwelling. Those who dream of a more peaceful pastime are advised to soften its effect by adding the symbols of Water. It can be a picture depicting a pond, or a room fountain.

Door that faces southwest

The southwestern direction favors love and romantic feelings. This zone is responsible for a prosperous family life and a successful search for a marriage partner. However, it is worth considering that excessive passion for romance can adversely affect the financial condition.

Westbound door

The Western direction in traditional Feng Shui is responsible for the younger generation. It can be recommended to a family who dreams of having a healthy numerous offspring, or to those who already have a baby. The Western zone also patronizes people with a creative streak, and not only artists, musicians or artists, but also those who only dream of developing their abilities. The corresponding element is Metal.

If the entrance is from the northwest

The northwest side is considered the traveler's zone and is favorable for people whose business is related to travel. In addition, the energy of the northwest provides reliable patronage of high-ranking people, success in establishing communication links with business partners.

The location of the front door and its shape according to Feng Shui

The shape of the door leaf corresponds to the location of the doors in the house relative to the cardinal points. According to Feng Shui, it is determined by the element that corresponds to each zone. Pointed forms are associated with the element of fire. The canvas can be decorated with diagonally crossed slats, zigzag lines and even stars.

The elements of the Earth correspond to clear, well-balanced forms of small sizes. Such an entrance door in appearance may resemble a chocolate bar, divided into equal small squares.

The element of water is characterized by streamlined, rounded shapes. They should be associated with a river or sea. It can be oval elements, soft wavy lines.

Strict elongated forms correspond to the elements of Wood. The door leaf can be decorated with rectangular inserts, the lower base of which is much narrower than the side one.

The elements of Metal are more suitable for dynamic bizarre forms that combine rigor and smoothness of lines. Unlike the previous options, where the doors should be of a traditional rectangular shape, the doorway in such houses can be made in the form of an arch.

In all cases, natural wood of durable species is suitable as a material for the front door. It is best to use oak or ash. Many city dwellers are forced to install iron doors as protection against intruders. But for them, you can choose the right performance. In addition, the metal is quite suitable for the element of the same name.

What color should the front door be according to Feng Shui?

To choose the color of the front door, you can also use the bagua mesh. Each sector of the dwelling has its own shades.

To reduce the fiery energy, colors corresponding to the element of Earth or the northeast are used as an additional color for the southern sector.

How to correct incorrect door placement?

In most cases, a modern person does not have the opportunity to choose a room that would ideally meet all the requirements of Feng Shui. It is impossible to change the location of the front door, windows or bathroom. But some tricks can offset the negative consequences.

Reduce problems by:

• folding partitions;
• rugs with a suitable ornament;
• talismans;
• houseplants.

Between the bathroom and the hallway, you can hang a bright curtain made of threads, put a light screen.

Feng Shui talismans for the front door

Energy accumulates before entering and only after that it enters the room. Therefore, it is important that there are no obstacles to its passage. The space in front of the door should not be cluttered with unnecessary items. To attract energy, you can hang Chinese lanterns or horseshoes above the door. It is undesirable to place the rest of the talismans from the side of the street, they will work as a reflector.

Bell or wind chime

The bell, from the point of view of Feng Shui, is nothing more than a “wind catcher”. It is believed that this talisman gives the inhabitants of the house pleasant emotions, cleanses the home of negativity. The correct bell has an internal cavity and a long tongue. It is attached to a pendant made of red thread. Often bells are combined with Chinese coins. Such talismans can be used by those who want to attract wealth.

Bells from several tubes, which are commonly called "wind music", are also well suited for the front door. Compositions differ in the number of pendants that determine their purpose. "Wind music" with five tubes dissipates negative energy, and six or seven tubes enhances the effect of a geographical area, attracts positive flows.

Horseshoe

As already mentioned, this talisman is placed on the outside of the door. It is designed to bring good luck and happiness to the house, and also serves as a talisman. Among the Slavs, it is customary to believe that only a horseshoe found has such a property. However, feng shui experts assure that this is not the case. The souvenir can be purchased at the store. The main thing is that it pleases the eye and pleases the inhabitants of the house. A horseshoe placed upside down attracts success. Hanging with horns up, it will become a protection against negativity.

What can not be placed in front of the entrance?

Expert opinion

Melnik Dmitry

feng shui master

If we talk about the position of the front door relative to other rooms in the apartment or house, it is considered unfavorable to be opposite the bathroom. Supporters of the teachings of Feng Shui argue that in this case, the health and finances of the inhabitants of the apartment will literally flow into the pipe. A similar effect is observed when window openings are located opposite the door.

Mirrors in the hallway

Most of us cannot imagine a hallway without a mirror. It is simply necessary here to fix your hair before going out, put on a hat or coat. Many install full-length mirrors in the hallways and hallways. From the point of view of Feng Shui supporters, placing a reflective surface directly opposite the door is undesirable. It is believed that luck will leave such a house, and its residents will not have health. The mirror will turn the flow of sha qi in the opposite direction and it will leave the house without penetrating into other rooms.

In order, on the contrary, to increase the flow of energy, it is recommended to place the reflective surface on the same wall as the door. If this is not possible, hang a mirror on the side wall. In this way, you can redirect the flows, reduce the negative impact of sha qi.

blank wall

Solid high fences, houses that are larger in number of storeys than your building, as well as natural hills (mountains or hills) can block energy flows. If the entrance is located in front of such obstacles, they will literally block the flow of qi energy. By the way, when located on the back of the house, these objects, on the contrary, act as protection.

Inside the dwelling, the location of a solid wall opposite the front door is also considered unfavorable according to Feng Shui. Such a disadvantage can be corrected by placing a picture or photo wallpaper on the wall depicting a flowering meadow, a field with a road. Decorative elements symbolizing the water element are out of place here.

Military theme

Feng Shui experts do not recommend placing decorative elements in front of the main door that carry an aggressive color. These include various types of weapons, images of warships or military equipment, battle scenes. It is believed that they are able to scare away good luck and provoke a hostile attitude towards the owners of the house.

Ladder location

If the entrance to the apartment is located opposite the stairs, this is considered an unfavorable sign for its residents. This location of the door prevents the free circulation of qi, which leads to financial problems, difficulties in personal life and career. In multi-storey buildings, the location of the apartment opposite the lift shaft is considered negative. In both cases, the bright lighting of the area in front of the front door, protective amulets from the outside and scattering crystals inside the room will help to correct the energy flows in both cases. It is best to fence off the stairs or elevator with some kind of high obstacle.

If the door is poorly located, it is quite possible to take measures to ensure that this does not affect the lives of the owners of the house.

What should be the doors, how to open, what color and material, what should the doors surround? What influences and what contributes to the shape, color, location of doors in the interior according to Feng Shui? For these and other questions, the teachings of Feng Shui give unambiguous advice and recommendations.

The Chinese ancient practice of space development "Feng Shui" is aimed at finding and distributing favorable energy "Qi". Doors, as space dividers, play a crucial role in the distribution of this energy. Supporters of Feng Shui believe that the atmosphere in the house, as well as the mood of the family, depends on the location, color and material of everything that surrounds us in the house. What do Feng Shui teachers advise us?

1 The front door should open to the south.

This is of course appropriate to know before building a private house. But when buying an apartment, you can also take into account the direction of opening the front door. The southern direction promotes active life in the house, and the northern calmness. The color of the front door also depends on the opening direction. The south direction is red warm colors and the north direction is cool colors.

2 Opposite the front door should not be a mirror

All the positive energy entering the house will be reflected and go back if there is a mirror opposite the door. If the mirror is in the door itself, then this is good, since positive energy will not leave the house, reflected from the mirror on the front door.

3 Opposite the front door there should be no sharp corners

The sharp angle opposite the front door signifies a "poison arrow" that is aimed at the energy field of whoever enters the house. So everyone entering the house can feel uncomfortable.

4 Opposite the front door should not be a window

If there is a window, then it is better to decorate it with curtains so that the incoming positive energy does not leak. Another option is to put a home plant on the windowsill.

5 In a triangle of doors you need to hang a wind bell

If they are located to the right and left of the front door, thereby forming a triangle of doors, then a wind bell should be hung in the center of this triangle

6 Doors must be rectangular

All doors in the house, and especially the entrance, must be of the correct geometric shape. Arched doors or doors with oblique semi-circular corners are not welcome. They have a bad effect on the health of residents according to Feng Shui.

7 You can not put a second front door.

Usually, back in the 90s, when the iron entrance door to the apartment was a piece of iron sheet, a second wooden door was installed for sound and thermal insulation. According to Feng Shui, this should not be done, again, due to the fact that this is an extra obstacle to energy.

8 Feng Shui doors should open inward

This solution, of course, favors the penetration of energy, but is contrary to fire safety. According to safety standards and requirements, the doors must open outwards so that it is easier and faster to leave the premises.

9 When opening the door, there should be a maximum view of the room

Interior doors should have such an opening that when entering the room we see most of it, and certainly do not rest against a closet or wall.

10 Color of interior doors wood, brown

Light brown shades give peace and tranquility. Dark brown colors give confidence. A reddish tint will increase the level of a person's energy state. A dark color, such as "wenge", will increase a person's self-esteem and make him more focused.

11 The door should not creak and close itself

High quality installation of doors is very important. The doors should not be chipped, the doors should open comfortably, in the open state they should not close themselves.

12 For those who do not believe in this Feng Shui

The horseshoe above the door is a traditional Russian amulet and a symbol of the hearth. Although the Orthodox Church does not approve of this, considering this "chip" pagan. For believers, an icon above the door would be appropriate.

In this article you will learn:

Life energy enters the house through the front door, according to Feng Shui, its location and other characteristics matter. Therefore, there should be a lot of free space in front of the entrance in order to accumulate and pass positive energy.

What is the direction of the door

According to Feng Shui, the entrance to the house is the Qi gate. There is a connection between where the main door points and what the energy that flows through it is, so before buying a house, it is worth arming yourself with a compass and studying the Bagua map.

The northern direction is good for those who prefer a calm and measured life, but there is a risk that such a way of life will turn into indifference between family members and constant apathy. To prevent this from happening, it is worth painting the entrance with brown paint or placing a small crystal in the corridor.

The northeast direction is influenced by active external influences. In such a house it is worth living for those who seek to learn new things and actively learn.

The Eastern direction attracts forces that help in promoting business and building a career.

Southeast for those who want to strengthen their financial condition.

The South is a direction that will help people employed in public professions. If there are too many such forces, then people will quarrel. Water signs will help to weaken the energy of Fire.

Southwest - for happiness in love and harmony in the family.

The western direction is a good condition for the life of families with children and the creative development of singles. Mindless hobbies can play a cruel joke and lead people to spend a lot of money. It is important to ensure stability: add an earth element.

The shape of the door in accordance with the cardinal points also matters. It is necessary to apply the symbols of Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, Metal. Then it will be possible to direct the energy flows where it should be.

Invalid door position

The location of the front door in Feng Shui is of great importance. If there are windows on the sides, then the energy that enters the living space immediately flows out through the windows. To fix this, you should put plants on the windowsill or hang curtains, and preferably blackout blinds. This method will allow you to fix the positive energy inside the apartment.

It is unfavorable if the entrance group is opposite the toilet room. A bathroom is a place through which energy can flow, so the favorable flows that enter the house will immediately be sent to the sewer. Due to energy losses, family members will feel apathy towards everything, weakness.

If the entrance group is opposite the toilet, it is worth hanging a sparkling wind chime between the doors. Then the energy will be dissipated. It will also prevent negative energy from entering the home and affecting the well-being of family members and relationships between them.

It is bad if the main door and the one that leads to the plot are located opposite each other. Then positive flows immediately flow out of the house. On the way of energy flows, it is worth installing flowers in a pot, a round table.

It is better that the door leaf does not open outwards. If it opens inward, it helps to let good forces into the apartment. It is important that the door opens easily, does not creak, is not skewed, otherwise it can block positive energy flows.

Color spectrum

The entrance group should be beautiful: this attracts happiness to the house and contributes to the prosperity of the family. Above the entrance, you can hang multi-colored lanterns that will protect the apartment from negative energy and create additional lighting.

The color of the front door in Feng Shui is also important: brown for the northeast and southwest contributes to harmony, red shades - stability. East doors can be made yellow, green, blue, or black, but they don't have to be white. Northern ones can be light, but not green or brown.

Mirror at the entrance to the house

Positive Qi energy will enter the apartment if a small mirror is fixed in the hall. It is also good to do this in the case when the entrance is opposite the toilet or bathroom. In such cases, additional techniques for a favorable flow of energy flows will not interfere.

But you can’t hang a mirror in front of the front door so as not to drive away favorable energy flows.

What to do in case of unsuccessful door positioning

If the door leaf opens outward, then energy leakage occurs. If possible, you need to outweigh the hinges so that the door opens inward.

If there are windows nearby, but it is impossible to wall them up, they must always be tightly closed.

Drains, corners, wires and antennas of satellite TV and the Internet, poles that look towards the door carry bad Sha energy - they should be avoided. All sorts of talismans help to establish the flow of Qi: coins, horseshoes, bells.

Of course, homeowners in an apartment building do not have the opportunity to choose the location of the metal front door; it becomes standard. However, those who are building their own country cottage can well afford to follow the advice of Feng Shui experts. Compliance with the rules below will bring prosperity, wealth, health and happiness to the house.

The principles of the location of the front door

Those who have the opportunity to independently choose the ideal location for the steel door that adorns the entrance to the house should take into account the following postulates of the art of Feng Shui.

• The entrance structure should not be located directly opposite the bathroom. In the case when changing the location of the metal door is not available, you need to ensure that the door leading to the toilet is constantly in the closed position. Otherwise, the energy of wealth and joy will flow down the drain along with the water.
• Another solution when locating the front door opposite the toilet is to place small round mirrors on both sides of it. The recommended height is approximately at the level of the owner's navel.
• The entrance door should be installed in such a way that it opens inside the room. Such a planning solution provides space for the flow of qi energy. By the way, this is fully consistent with the principles of fire safety.
• Feng Shui experts have declared wood to be the best material for making the front door. However, it is not at all necessary to abandon the reliable protection of a metal door. The best option is to use wood finishes, solid oak or veneer.
• Doors leading to other rooms should also not be located directly opposite the entrance structure. If nothing can be changed, you can put a screen in the aisle, hang a wind flute, bells, bamboo sticks.

• According to Feng Shui, it is extremely harmful to have protruding corners right in front of a metal door. It literally kills the energy field of the visitors to the property. If changing the layout is not possible, you can correct the situation by placing a flower in a pot or a decorative vase in this corner.
• If interior doors are located on both sides of the entrance structure, creating a triangle, it is recommended to hang a wind chime in the center of the triangle.
• It is important that the metal door does not go directly to the stairs or the elevator shaft. This is especially dangerous if the stairs lead to the back door or to the basement, as this provides the conditions for attracting negative energy. The only solution in such a situation is the creation of a barrier, the role of which can be played by screens, partitions, and various decorative elements. Another effective option is to install a bright light source from the outside above the steel door, to create a high threshold.

Entrance door and location of mirrors

In no case should you install a mirror in front of the front door to the house, it reflects the positive energy of qi, literally “expels” it from the house. However, this is not a reason for the absolute rejection of the location of the mirror elements in the hallway. The mirror is an effective correction tool. It is useful to place it directly on the door leaf, this will allow you not to release positive energy outside, to keep it in the house.

It is important that the mirror on the metal door is large enough and has a rounded shape.

Feng Shui in Russian

For those who do not trust the postulates of Feng Shui, preferring folk traditions and signs, you should definitely hang an inverted horseshoe over the entrance to the room. A horseshoe over a metal door will become a reliable amulet of housing, attracts well-being, symbolizes a family hearth.
