​​WHOLISTIC LIVING SPACE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENTRANCE OF THE HOUSE

​

• The house has 4 entry points which are the main entrance door, garage entry, garage entry door into the house and lastly the back door or patio door, it is always considered auspicious to have even number of entry and exit doors.

• The hallway after the entrance door should be clean and clutter-free with welcoming and positive pictures or decor on the entryway table.

• Do not put family pictures in the hallway looking at the entry door as it creates a leak in the energy pattern of the members whose pictures are displayed there.

• Most Indian traditional families like to keep an idol of Lord Ganesha at the entrance or hallway which should be avoided. Any picture of the deity should be placed with proper respect in the alter place, pooja room or meditation room.

• Vedic way to enhance the entrance is by hanging fresh mango leaves, flower garland, footprints of goddess Laxmi or Om Symbol as a lucky charm on the door or either side of the door, rangoli (geometric auspicious designs) to make the entrance look colorful as well as energized in India.

• In the USA people love to decorate it with seasonal wreaths and sometimes Initial of the names with a welcoming sitting arrangement well decorated with seasonal decors. These decors should preferably be with fresh flowers to get the best energy since dried flower has no energy and in case of artificial flowers, they should be regularly washed to avoid the accumulation of dust and stagnant energy.

• Crystals are also very powerful when used in the right zone at the entrance for purifying energy. Use the color guide for creating a harmonizing ambiance of the decor display to give positive results rather than negative vibes.

• Light a candle, diya, can be battery operated for safety reasons outside the entrance door in the evening to welcome positive energy and keep away the negative energy from entering our house. If lighting a diya is not possible you can also burn an incense stick for cleansing the space. The entrance should be kept well lit at dusk.

• Spotlight on the house is a good idea but care should be taken depending on the facing of the house for instance spotlight activating the south-east or south-west facing home will not be auspicious but rather create negative effects by enhancing those directions. Spotlights should be used on the house facing North, East, and Northeast.

• The gas stove of the kitchen should not be seen on the first sight on entering the house. Same applies if there is a alter place or mandir, they should be placed in a fashion that their view is obstructed from the main entrance of the house with the help of space divider or decor of any style to catch our eye at the entrance.

• The entrance of the house should always have a chaukat (a threshold) at the bottom of the door, which is normally present in US homes here in North Carolina state. Most houses in India generally have a chaukat. This also helps in preventing insects and bugs from entering the house.

• The entrance of the house should always have a wow factor at the entrance which makes you happy being back home and welcoming to the guests.

• Shoes of the guests should be kept out of the main door to avoid carrying dirt into the house in different forms of negative elements. Have a shoe closet if there is the availability of space or have a shoe stand to keep them organized.

​

Energizing the entrance with the help of the direction of the main door. Every direction is ruled by an element, they aid to make our entry of home positive and welcoming.

​

1. The main door in the east/northeast enhances good health and prosperity: Energize them with pearls, crystals, water plants, lilies, lotus, water fountains, holy basil (tulsi) and flowering plants also work fine. Avoid tall and strong trees here in case of big yards at the entrance.

2. Entry door in the north enhances career opportunities and finances: Energize it with lights by placing a focus light on the door, add some crystals. Keep holy basil (tulsi) and small flowering plants placed in this direction also work well.

4. Northwest door invites frequent foreign travels, healing, and support from external resources such as Mentors, Guru, Angels. Energize with the sound of metal wind chimes, crystals, and small flowering shrubs.

5. South / Southeast / Southwest entry to the house should be the last choice to choose, but if you currently have these entrance, energize with red-colored Lord Paach Mukhi Hanumanji or Goddess Durga picture in a golden frame can also be used, which should be visible at the first sight on entry from the door to stop all negative energy entering the house from these directions, it helps to create a protection grid for the house energy by balancing it. Demarcation of the door from these zones, installing auspicious symbols to reduce the stress that comes from these zones can help.​​
