Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this door facin’ stairs thing, the feng shui way. Folks say it ain’t no good, money flyin’ out the door like a scared chicken, they say. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I heard things from my grandma and she knew a thing or two about keepin’ a house happy and prosperous.
See, if your door opens and bam! There’s the stairs starin’ right back at ya, that’s trouble. Like that fella said, money just sees a straight shot out of your house. It’s like a highway for your hard-earned cash, zoomin’ right out the front door and down them stairs. We don’t want that now, do we?
Now, they say you gotta slow that money down, make it wanna stay awhile. One thing they talk about is turnin’ them stairs. If you can, don’t have the first step pointin’ straight at the door. Kind of twist ‘em to the side, like a shy person lookin’ away. That way, the money gets confused, can’t find its way out so easy.
- First thing, like that fella was sayin’, hang somethin’ up. A mirror, but not just any mirror. A special kind, they call it a “bagua” mirror. It’s round and got all sorts of squiggly lines on it. Hang it above your door, facin’ them stairs. That mirror, it’s like a bouncer at a bar, tellin’ that bad luck to go find somewhere else to bother.
- Another thing, you gotta make that doorway less… well, less like a runway for your money. You gotta put somethin’ in the way, somethin’ to break up the straight line. A little table, maybe, with some flowers on it. Or a big ol’ plant, somethin’ pretty and green. Anything to make the money stop and say, “Hold on a minute, where am I goin’?”
- And lights! Don’t let that doorway be all dark and gloomy. A bright light, that’s like sunshine, makes everything cheerful and keeps the bad spirits away. You want that money to feel welcome, not scared off by the shadows.
- Paint the door a lucky color. Red is good, they say, for bringin’ in good fortune. Or maybe yellow, like the sun, shinin’ and happy. Just not black, black is for sadness and nobody wants sad money.
You know, some folks, they get real fancy about it. They talk about “chi,” this energy that flows through your house. They say you gotta make that chi flow gentle, like a slow river, not rushin’ out the door. I don’t know much about that chi stuff, but I reckon it makes sense. You want things calm and peaceful in your house, not wild and crazy.
And listen, it ain’t just about money, neither. It’s about your whole life, your health, your happiness. If you got that bad energy flowin’ through your house, it can mess with everything. You’ll feel tired all the time, argue with your family, things just won’t go right. So, pay attention to your house, make it a good place to be.
So, if you got stairs facin’ your door, don’t panic. There’s always somethin’ you can do. Hang that mirror, put somethin’ in the way, brighten things up, paint the door a pretty color. Just do somethin’ to slow that money down and keep the good luck in your house. And remember, a happy home is a wealthy home, that’s what my grandma always said.
Anyways, that’s just what I’ve heard and what seems to make sense to me. You do what you think is best for your own house. But it don’t hurt to try, right? A little feng shui, a little common sense, it can go a long way.
So, there you have it, my two cents on this door and stairs business. Hope it helps ya some. Now, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about money and energy makes a body hungry!
