Front Doors and Feng Shui

2009-08-06T16:04:00.000-04:00

The placement of a home on property is most important in feng shui. It is advantageous for inviting opportunity and blessings into your life when the front door is visible. If you cannot see the front door, it is possible that you will have missed opportunities. It can be as simple as the postman bringing a package to the wrong door, and it taking you several days or weeks to discover it.

Having several visible ways to enter a house can leave a person confused. So it is most important to give the front door the most attention and make it the most inviting. Concentrate your landscaping to invite you along a path, add lighting for safety. Be sure that the path to the front door is free of clutter. In feng shui, we believe that the front door color needs to be vibrant. The best color is believed to be red because it is so energetic and catches your attention easily.

It is said in feng shui that when you are looking at the front door, it is the way the “world” views you. From inside the house, looking out the front door, this is the way you view the “world”.

We can add pots of fresh flowers to our steps leading to the front door, soft melodious chimes, and simple wreaths or inviting artwork to enhance the experience of entering our homes. The attention given to the front door is to remind you to consciously leave the chaos of the outside world behind you as enter your home. You are crossing over a threshold into your own inner, sacred space.

“Every spirit builds itself a house, and beyond its house, a world, and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then that the world exists for you.

The Power of Place

2008-12-18T11:10:00.009-05:00

Have you ever experienced the uncanny feeling that you know that you are in a power place for you? Does that feeling show itself here in these ancient mountains? It can be the feeling when you discover the community that you want to live in. You can get that feeling, especially when you find the home that you know is yours. It is that instant connection to place, and it is very powerful! It even occurs with people that you meet. You seem to know instantly when you have met a person who is going to be a very good friend for life.

I believe that it is very important to honor this “knowing within you” at all times. It is important to make decisions based on this inner knowing. In this real estate market, it is not about picking the best investments, as much as it is about picking the property that you really love and that you will personally enjoy. These properties usually become the ones that are the best investments for the future in the long run. If you love it, so then will someone else when the times comes for you to sell it.

I have had the pleasure of working with my husband this past year as he developed his newest community in down town Highlands. He has nurtured the property and protected the heritage that came with it while building new condominiums. He has created an oasis in the midst of the busy downtown area of Highlands. He has created yet another Nellis Community in which family memories are made from. To watch the fly fishermen and women cast their lines in unison creates a feeling of peacefulness within. To watch the ducks in their daily performance brings out the playfulness within both adults and children.

No matter where you choose to purchase in this market that we are in, I encourage you to find your place. Don’t settle until you find the place that speaks to your heart.

Combining feng shui and real estate, you can find Pam Nellis, of Nellis Realty, sitting the model at Old Highlands Park in downtown Highlands, or call her, 828/787-1895.
