5 while in our homes is to be in a space where everything is functioning properly .

CLEAR THE CLUTTER LEADING UP TO THE ENTRANCE AS WELL AS INSIDE THE FRONT ENTRANCE . Clutter clogs our energy . If we wish new energy to flow into our lives with ease and grace , we need to ensure that our spaces reflect this . In our entranceway , clear anything out that we do not love and use . Take a moment to walk up to and open your front door , what do you see inside when you open the door ? What you see from this vantage point is the first impression anyone has upon entering your home ? It also symbolically reflects what we desire to have in our lives , since it is what we first show to those who we do welcome into our home , our inner world .
KEEP THE AREA CLEAN . SWEEP THE PORCH AND WALKWAY . Place an attractive wreath , flowers or shrubbery in the area . Increase its attractiveness . Maintain a connection with nature and the shifting seasons by mirroring elements of nature in your entranceway and home . By honoring our connection with nature and the cycles around us , we can continue to welcome new energy into our lives . The shifting of energies with the seasons can be maintained by using seasonal wreaths or flowers around the door , decorative door hangers , holiday lights , or something else that brings you joy and connects you to the seasonal energies .
USE THE ARCHITECTURAL FRONT ENTRANCE OF YOUR HOME . I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO USE THEIR GARAGE ENTRANCE AS THE MAIN PASSAGEWAY INTO THEIR HOME . If this is the case , apply the main suggestions listed above to the garage entrance as well . Keep the area in good working order , clutter-free , clean , attractive and welcoming . If you do use a side or garage entrance to your home , continue to honor the importance of your main front entrance by opening the door and welcoming new energy into your home . This can be a quick and simple activity . Set an intention for what energies you would like to welcome into your home and open the door with this intention .
Our home can be a sacred space , a place where we are supported and nurtured and provided with what we need to learn and evolve . Our relationship with our home can be a catalyst for transformation . It can connect us to nature and the cycles of life . When we examine our relationship with our home , we can get clues to our own relationship with ourselves and how we relate to the outer world . Our connection between these inner and outer worlds is the front door and entranceway .
If we desire to bring love , abundance , new opportunities , or something else wonderful into our lives , start with examining the front entrance of your home . Focus on creating a welcoming entranceway that evokes the emotions that you desire to experience in your life . Create a clear path of joy and love , one that is strong , creates boundaries , and that becomes an honored gateway between our outer and inner worlds .
