If there is one place that conditions everything that happens within the home according to feng shui, it is the entrance. For Danijela Saponjic, a feng shui expert and lecturer, it is the zone that decides whether the energy that arrives is fresh, flowing and prosperous… or if it remains stuck before it begins.
The entry door is “the mouth of chi”, the point through which all energy enters, including energy related to abundance, according to feng shui. Therefore, Danijela insists on keeping it free from objects, dust, obstacles and with a well-kept presence.
The disorder in this zone acts as a brake, diverts opportunities or slows them down, making the house not feel like a receptive place. That is why cleaning the door and preventing it from receiving shadows or from being surrounded by clutter is useful for a clear energy flow.
The aim is not to decorate more, but to declutter so that what arrives can enter without resistance. From there, we can at the same time identify a key point to further enhance that flow.
The Wealth Corner Is a Specific Point
Danijela Saponjic explains that the wealth corner in homes is always in the same place, according to feng shui. To locate it, simply stand at the doorway looking towards the interior. The spot that lies furthest back and to the left, within the area that serves as the reception space, is the zone dedicated to the energy of money, prosperity and expansion.
It is here that she suggests placing an item that represents abundance, such as a lush plant, an elegant candle, a bowl with antique coins… The important thing is that it conveys wealth, beauty and growth. The aim is to activate that corner of the house with something that visually and energetically suggests expansion and prosperity.
Energy Coherence Starts with What You Fix
Water, in feng shui, is directly linked to wealth. Therefore, Danijela recommends immediately checking any leaks, drips or toilets that leak, because every loss symbolises a loss of energy and income. Beyond the metaphors, it also has a practical impact; a bathroom with leaks can raise the bill and cause damp problems.
Keeping the toilet lid down and the bathroom door closed also forms part of these practices to care for the home’s energy. The idea is to prevent it from flowing into the drains and “escaping” through weak points.
How to Apply Feng Shui in Your Day-to-Day Life
If you want to transform your home into a more prosperous space in a simple and realistic way, here is how to put its advice into practice without effort:
-
Look at your entrance as if you were a guest. If the first thing you encounter is disorder, fix it in a minute: remove shoes, collect bags and wipe the surface of the door.
-
Identify your wealth corner. Once you’ve identified it, place an element that inspires prosperity. A healthy living plant is perfect for this use. You can use the bagua map to locate this corner.
-
Set aside a day to check taps and cisterns. If something is dripping, fix it as soon as possible; you will save water and reinforce a sense of control.
-
Take a quick walk around the house and remove three items that drain your energy. What is broken, worn out or dead not only occupies space but speaks of how you perceive yourself and what you allow in your surroundings. The home always reflects what we tolerate.
Surround Yourself Only with What Fits Your Best Version
Danijela offers a simple exercise: observe which objects convey scarcity. A broken mug, old socks, a dead plant… They not only take up space but speak of how you perceive yourself and what you allow in your surroundings. The home always reflects what we tolerate.
Getting rid of anything that makes you feel small, that does not fit the version of you you want to build, or that reinforces a deficit-based identity creates an immediate change. Not permitting these lapses means your home feels more comfortable, more beautiful and more in tune with the abundance of wellbeing you wish to attract.
