How Important is the Back Door in Feng Shui?

In Feng Shui, the back door is more than just an exit. It plays a crucial role in the movement and balance of energy within your home. While the front door is often considered the primary entryway for energy, the back door also influences how energy enters, circulates, and exits. Ensuring proper Feng Shui for your back door can positively impact your home’s prosperity, security, and harmony.

Common Feng Shui Issues with the Back Door:

1. Direct Alignment with the Front Door: If the back door is directly aligned with the front door, energy can rush straight through, resulting in a quick escape of positive energy and missed opportunities.
2. Overemphasis on the Back Door: If the back door is too large or more accessible than the front door, it may cause energy to leave too quickly, affecting wealth retention.
3. Exposed or Vulnerable Placement: A back door that’s easily seen from the street or feels unprotected may symbolize a lack of stability and security in the home.

• “Feng Shui Solutions for Back Door Issues”:
• 
  
  1. Back Door Aligned with the Front Door: To prevent energy from rushing straight through your home, hang a 40mm crystal halfway between the front and back doors. This helps to slow and disperse energy, ensuring it circulates within the home.
  2. Check Annual Astrology for Flying Star Influence: Each year, the energy of your back door area can shift based on Flying Star Feng Shui. Identify the specific star energy affecting the back door location and apply the appropriate remedies to balance or enhance this energy.
  3. Protect with a Bagua Mirror: Position a Bagua mirror above the back door, facing outward, to deflect negative energies and provide a layer of protection for your home.
  4. Add a Charm for Protection or Good Luck: Enhance the positive energy by hanging a charm on the back door. This not only protects the space but can also activate good fortune, depending on the charm you select.

Check if there are any “poison arrows” pointing directly to the door.

• You can implement Bagua Mirrors, Foo Dogs, or Rooster Symbols to protect yourself from any of the above. Also, if your back door faces greenery, such as your back yard, “catch” this wonderful energy by placing windchimes close to the back door. This will make your back door welcoming, energized and fresh, the sounds will also help in clearing the energy incoming through this entrance.
