While the vastu inside the house or your workplace is important, equally important is the entrance. How do you feel when you walk into your house or work place? Do you find it inviting and warm? Is it neat and tidy? Does the entrance look beautiful to you? Does it give you a good feeling? See it with your conscious mind and decipher, for this is how the energy that is flowing into your house is also going to feel. Expert Rashi Gaur gives us simple tips to create an entrance that will set the stage for success.
1. Keep the entrance always well lit. A dark and dingy entrance will turn all the good luck away.
2. A lot of times we feel that opportunities come our way but they also bring along many obstacles. A deal that was close to fruition simply gets cancelled. Sometimes fertility is an issue. Look outside your door or your main gate. Is it being obstructed by a pole or a tree? If so, change your entrance to a clearer one.
3. Make sure there are no dustbins and shoes that clutter your entrance. This creates bad energies.
4. Let the door open into a bright big hall. It is the best way to bring in prosperous energy into your home. The chi or the good energy needs to come in and find a way to settle.
6. The entrance should not directly face the toilet either. If that’s the case camouflage the toilet with mirrors or place a screen between the two.
7. Keep the entrance door well maintained: keep hinges well-oiled; make sure there aren’t any cracks on the door and see that the staircase leading to the door or the floor at the entrance is not chipped or cracked. If so, it will take prosperity away from you.
8. Many households display Lord Ganesha at the entrance. Refrain from doing so as by placing Him there, you are giving him the status of a guard and that’s not where His place should be. It should be in the temple, not at the entrance.
9. Do not hang mirrors near the entrance reflecting out. Any luck that is coming to you will be reflected away.
10. Protective symbols – a swastik, Fu Dogs or elephants with their trunks raised – flanking the door always ensure safety and protect your abode.
11. A name plate adorning your name at the entrance is always a good idea.
12. Look outside with a keen eye. Is your entrance succumbing to any poison arrows from the outside? Is there a hospital, a cross sign, a pointed iron bar facing your door? Is your house at a T-junction. If so, place a pa kua mirror (see alongside) outside your house to deflect negative energies. However, do so if only absolutely necessary as the energies emanating from a pa kua mirror are rather strong and hence should be used sparingly.
