Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Decorative Plants
• Chinese Fu Dogs
• Decorative Mirrors
• Wind Chimes
• Bright Lighting

1. "Google" Feng Shui and you will find thousands of links leading to very informative pages. The Feng Shui information summarized here will get the new Feng Shui enthusiast off to a good start. First, deflect poison arrows pointing toward the home or entryway with hedges, a tree, or mirror hanging on an outside wall. Poison arrows are angles pointing to your house, sharp building edges from across the street, or even telephone lines or outside the entryway.

2. A curving path leading to the door brings positive chi. A straight
   walkway leading to the front door will not deflect any poison arrows leading to the front door. Here's a quick tip: Use decorative plants
   along the path to deflect negative energy.

3. A clean doorway in good repair will attract positive chi.

4. Paint entry doors in bright colors to bring positive chi. A favorite color and very auspicious color is red. Great color if your entry door is facing south. This direction magnifies the good chi according
   to Feng Shui principles.

5. Bright porch lights in good condition bring even more positive chi to the home.

6. A front door that opens toward a church or temple is considered a negative dark force. These sources produce strong "yin" causing coldness and loneliness.

7. Placing large objects in front of your door will produce bad chi. The large objects are obstructions. Thus blocking any positive chi trying to enter the home.

8. So, you have a few obstructions blocking your front door and they cannot be moved without a crane. Try this tip. Hang crystal wind chimes near the entry to deflect the negative chi and allow the positive chi to enter
   the door.

9. Place a small mirror in the entry way to reflect outside light. This is said to double the positive chi flowing into the home.

10. Decorate your front entryway with Chinese Fu Dogs on each side of the doorway They act as guardians to the home and deflect negative influences.
