Pathways
Fixing and rising
the Chi leading to your entrance
In Feng Shui anything that has to do with the front
door is important. There’s a difference between an entrance with no pathway, a
straight pathway and a curvy pathway. The way a pathway is arranged, directly
affects the energy and the way it is leaded to your front door. A pathway can
also be welcoming, and not so much. And this is just something that works
subconsciously in our minds when walking up a pathway to a new neighbor’s door
for example. The path leading to the front door, speaks for itself. Imagine a
straight pathway with no plants, or dead plants, clutter or blocked by objects.
Now imagine a curvy pathway, with vegetation around it, flowers and beautiful
green grass and a tidy garden. It’s different isn't it? It reflects different
aspects of the residents of that home, the first is not welcoming, but the
other slows you down, makes you feel at home, it makes you feel comfortable. In
the second example, somehow you “feel” that you will be greeted with open arms,
right?
There is a certain language being reflected in the way
your pathway connects to your front door, and you don’t need to necessarily
know anything about its inhabitants. As we know, Feng Shui has to do with the
way energy travels and drifts. Also, we know that straight lines don’t exist in
nature, not even a tree’s trunk is fully straight, right? So a straight pathway
would mean that the energy flow is getting to your door way too strongly and it
might not be very beneficial. So the best option is to have some curves going
on when it comes to your path.
Hold on! We don’t mean you have to go outside and
start digging up what you already have; there are some simple and inexpensive
solutions to make your front yard and pathway empower and raise the Chi.

Connection
The front path must
connect the front door to the street, and yes, this is a must. But no worries,
if this is not already set up this way in your front yard, you can make one,
even if you don’t use it (which it would be better if you did) you must
remember that this will connect in deep symbolic levels and it is very
powerful.
You can create one by
laying some stepping stones in a curvy fashion leading to your front door. Use
any material you like. Just by visiting your local landscaping store you’ll be
able to get many ideas! Here are some:
