Simplify your Life - The Main Door Solution

As I mentioned one of the stress free tips is to “simplify your life”. So lets do this focusing first on the main door.

The main door of your home is equivalent to the mouth on your face. The life force energy enters the home here, just like food enters your body through your mouth. So the main door is vitally important to the positive energy in your home.

Just like your mouth – the main door must be in proportion to the space of the home – too small a mouth and you cannot eat food easily – too big a mouth and the look is confused. A crooked mouth is out of balance.

If we have a main door that is clutter free and allows positive energy into the home, then life will be more in balance and harmony.

So lets get started!

1) First – stand outside your home and look into your home through the open door.
What do you see?

Do you see a neat and tidy room, one that allows energy in easily? Or is your space cramped and full of clutter?

The energy (Qi) must be able to enter the property and have space to gather inside.

2) Secondly – stand inside your home and look out of your main door. Again what do you see?

Is there a clear open space so Qi can enter into your home? Or have you blocked it?

We are all guilty of placing bicycles, shoes, plants, cabinets right outside the main door, but in so doing we actually block the energy (Qi) from entering.

There are also some objects, which you do not ideally want to have outside of your main door!

These give off a negative energy and are not ideal for harmony in the home.

    •    Pylon
    •    Sharp roof
    •    Dead trees
    •    Unhealthy mountains
    •    Straight roads
    •    T junction
    •    Y junction
    •    Temples
    •    Anything that creates a large noise

The idea is to open your main door onto greenery, clean still water features, open fields, gentle curving roads.

Of course we cannot move home easily – so lets focus on what we can do to improve the energy of the main door area.

    •    Clean out the clutter
    •    Paint the door in a nice bright vibrant colour.
    •    Only keep small healthy plants in this area
    •    Wet clean the door area (inside and out) on a regular basis .

Top Tips for Becoming Stress-Free

Each week we will study one tip in detail and set one simple action that if taken will make a significant difference in your life.

1. Simplify your Life!

We now live in an age when we can shop 24/7, be it online or in a retail environment. We have become accumulators of more and more things!

All of these “ things “ around you actually take up your time, energy and effort in maintaining and storing them.

We seem to simply accumulate more and more and rarely STOP and look at what is going on around us!

For example we decide to buy some books on a certain subject.

Of course there are whole bookshelves in bookstores full of books on the subject we choose to study. We want to be the expert, so one book becomes 2, then 3, and then before we know it we have over 20 books on a subject.

What happens next? We need a bookcase for all these books – so off we go to Ikea and buy a bookcase. All of this is taking up our time – effort and money.

One bookcase gets filled and so we need a second one, and so the cycle continues.

It may not be books – it may be kitchen items, clothes, shoes, children’s toys, any thing that we start to ‘collect”

More things mean we need a bigger house – so we move house and soon that too is full of things!
It’s a never-ending circle!

All these things mean we need more money – so we run on the “Hamster wheel of Life”, living to pay our bills and at the same time amassing more debt as we buy more things!

So the first action point of the day:

ACTION POINT OF THE DAY!

Simply STOP and look around you …...walk each room of your house – open up your cabinets and simply look at what is there! Do the same for your office!

Focus at this stage only on YOUR space. It’s really easy to start advising and commenting on others- however this is about YOU!

Once you look at your own space you need to identify those areas that need your support. Now the chances are this could be a LONG list – so I am going to make it easier for you and in a series of articles I will show you which areas are the MOST IMPORTANT to tackle first. These areas are the ones that bring energy into your home and are the ones where you spend the most time.

So the first area to tackle is your MAIN DOOR!!

The main door is like the mouth of your home, if it is clean and clutter free then the energy that comes in will be fresh and full of vitality!

So today simply look at your front door space from 2 aspects;
    •    Open the door and stand outside and look into your home
    •    Stand inside and look out of our home.

Make your notes and then get ready for solutions in my next Blog!
