Front Door Decor Consider your home an extension of your body. Windows are your eyes, your outlook on the world. Doors represent the mouth, with your front door symbolizing your public voice. And your home’s front facade, is the face you show the world.

Leaving your house each day, you probably take a moment to look in the mirror, check your hair and makeup, touch-up your lipstick, and straighten out your clothes, making sure you look fresh, attractive and confident.

Do you do the same for the front of your home? Does the front of your home look happy, healthy, and successful? Or, does your home look tired and sick? Is the front of your home bright, energetic, and friendly, or is your front facade dark and hidden?

Considering the importance of your front door, how is it surrounded? Are there neatly trimmed shrubs, plants and flowers around your entrance? As the mouth of ch’i, is your front door wearing an attractive and vibrant shade shade of lipstick, or more realistically, paint? And, even if you live in an apartment building, is there something special and unique about your entrance door? Can you tell your door apart from others? And, if your front door could talk, what is it saying about you?

Look at your front door and the facade to your home and think of its color, ch’i (universal energy), the clutter, and design — C3D — and ask yourself, “Is this entrance really me?” And if not, with just a few improvements to your front door, you can be telling the world, “Hey, I’m happy, healthy and ready to face the world!”

As part of my life’s journey as a healer and teacher, this past winter I earned my Reiki certification. Developed in 1922 by Japanese theologian, Mikao Usui, Reiki is a hands-on healing practice that balances ch’i (life force energy), and can help you relax, reduce stress, sleep better, reduce the negative side affects of drugs and heal faster from illnesses.

While in my training, Reiki master and owner of Inner Healing Arts, Charyl Ozkaya and I discussed Feng Shui. We talked about how my mission was helping people transform their lives and businesses by focusing on their personal spaces, and Charyl asked how her center could improve.

I told Charyl that arriving for my first class I immediately felt blocked. Why? Because on entering the main room, there were coats, clutter, and a stack of folding chairs behind a makeshift curtain at the main door. Here is a picture before C3D Feng Shui:

My advice was simple: add color to promote healing, clear up the entrance clutter, make a Feng Shui design adjustment to the blocking wall at the entrance, and because of Inner Healing Arts warm and peaceful intentions, once the suggestions were done, the ch’i would take care of itself.

Take a look at the results. Charyl couldn’t be happier. Inner Healing Arts painted the room a sunny yellow, the color of health in Feng Shui. They cleared the clutter and organized the space. Most importantly, they removed the clutter from the main entrance and placed pleasing art and a lovely plant against the blocking wall.

That’s it. Color, Clutter, Ch’i, and Design, C3D Feng Shui. How can I help you transform your life?
