    Use the front door to your house?

    I have been reading a book aobut Feng Shui. Anyone else follow -- or try to follow -- this ancient method of placement?

    Anyway, it says that it is important to use the front door to your house to keep positive energy flowing. And it points out that many homes now have side doors next to the garage or driveway which get the most use.

    So I started thinking about that. My house, we seldom use the front door. Same thing growing up in my dad's house.

    never, my front door doesant even open lol. even when it did open, it was rarly used. its not safe, I have 7 dogs and live on an EXTREMLY busey street well known for outright speeding(police with radar guns dont even bother to hide) to use my front door, is to wish my dogs dead or injured.

    The storm door in front blows open, so we keep it locked from the outside, but at least once a day somebody goes out that door and then is able to come back in.

    We always use our front door, as the way our house sits, you would have to walk down a steep hill to use any of the others.

    I use it at least once a day to check the mail.

    I always use the front door. I live in an apt/townhouse.... and the back door is a silding glass door that I keep locked. Plus I have a bar that goes across, sort of like a deadbolt I guess.

    Sooooo, if I want in, I HAVE to use the front door!

    We use the front door to our house all the time. Going to and from the house. We do have a back door that we use when we go out to our carport and hang out.

    At my parents' and my P-I-L's houses I use the front door 9/10 times. And at my apartment, I use it 10/10 times because its the only door we have

    Never. The front door leads into the living room which nobody goes into, unless we are having a party. We always go through the garage door.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    All the time! With five people living in the house and everyone coming and going at different times our house's positive energy must be like an overflowing river. Not to mention it's left open rather often with just the screen closed.
