Chi on the outside of your home

Look to see if your house welcomes abundance or is desperate for it.

by Joy Abrams — 

Take the time to look around the outside of your home and notice the areas where energy might be drawn to your residence. If it is good energy, your home will seem positive, happy and healthy.

Look to see if your house welcomes abundance or is desperate for it. See if you have structural issues that have been neglected, which could be causing blockages or unsightly conditions.

Here are some things to do around your home that will increase good chi:

• Clean out the gutters.
• Wash the roof and oil it if you have a shake-type roof.
• Cut down trees or bushes that are blocking the chi from coming into the front door.
• Fix decks and patios that need improvements. Fit doors properly.
• Secure door knobs.
• Freshly paint the house and address sign.
• Install a meandering front path.
• Use good outside lighting.
• Fix leaky pipes.
• Ensure lids on garbage cans fit tightly.

These are just a few suggestions that will keep positive energy flowing to your house and you.
