The superstitious reason behind this high stoop was that it would trip up devils. In fact it kept water out during the rainy season and dirt out during dry spells. Once inside, visitors faced an ornate “spirit screen” that was supposed to stop devils and ghosts in their tracks. In fact, the screen shielded the interior from winds. If your house has a stairway that aims at the front door, hang a crystal or a wind chime between the lowest step and the front door to hold in wealth and recirculate ch’i." - http://fengshuiforyourhome.wordpress.com/lesson-4/ How about a crystal chandelier in the middle of the foyer?? progress viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20401 sculptures viewtopic.php?f=36&t=26607 pole trouble viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25988 Re: Staircase facing front door 11Mar 12, 2010 12:57 pm Another option would be to not use the front entrance so you dont let the chi flow out.

My dad totally believes in Feng shui and told her not to buy the house for this reason, though she didnt listen. So what she does now is exit out of the house through the garage so they rarely use the front entrance door. If they do then they only open one side of the double door slightly. hehehehe It sounds pretty stupid but if you believe it will make a difference. Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: Staircase facing front door 14Apr 06, 2010 6:15 am I thought it was only in certain cultures that they didnt like the stairs to face the front door Anyhoo, in saying that, we made sure our door did not face the front door direct for resale purpose if ever we decided to sell. No point putting off 70% of future buyers. It had nothing to do with Feng shui, purely a business decision.

If you had talked about instant communication between countries, transmission of voice and sound they would have been saying you are a dreamer and that that stuff belongs in science fiction novels, and not be taught in schools. People tend to mock that which they no ability to understand and more often, what they fear they could never understand. The warning is on the sticker on the door too.
