Many books on feng shui warn against having stairs directly in front of the main door. Is this bad? Someone wrote in to ask me…
We are living in a two storey townhouse, where the stairs run down to the front door. I have heard that this causes energy to run down the stairs and out the door, and that a windchime hung at the bottom of the stairs can help. However, as we are renting and not allowed to make any holes in the ceiling, I am unable to hang a windchime! Do you have any suggestions?
The windchime is a good solution. These days 3m sells hooks that aren’t don’t require glue or holes on the wall so use those. Alternatively, keep the the stair lights on at most times (all day if possible) to attract the chi up the stairs again. If you’re worried about electricity hikes, use an energy-saving bulb.
What about putting a portable room divider between the door and the stairs? Would that work too?
that would also work… good suggestion.
