you end up doing nothing, because you don’t know where to begin! You need to create a shift. One that gets the energy moving in a way that’s positive and supportive.

You may hardly notice this space as you rush in and out each day, but the way it looks and feels, and the overall vibe of the front door influences all the energy that flows into the home, as well as your energy as you pass through. Make this area welcoming and uplifting, and every time you pass through, your energy will be boosted. This applies especially to the main front door of your home, but also to any secondary door that is often used.
