Establishing a 'Bright Hall'

There are a few fantastic Feng Shui ‘rules’ out there that can be applied regardless of your situation right now. Establishing a Bright Hall is one of them. Contrary to the title, a Bright Hall doesn’t just mean the entrance hallway of your home. It actually refers to the whole of the Mouth of Chi...the entrance to your home or building inside and outside. This entrance is the invitation you send out to the world, and it needs to reflect the kind of energy you wish to attract. In Holistic Feng Shui this is called establishing a Resonance Effect.

A Bright Hall is typified by a few general things:

1. Natural light easily enters and moves through this area.

2. The flow of energy is unobstructed by Sha or Si energy. (low level or ‘bad’ energy)

3. It provides a feeling of welcome and well-being.

The reasons for a Bright Hall are twofold. It will encourage high quality energy towards your home, and once there, will encourage it to move in through the Mouth of Chi and nourish the building, which in turn provides high quality energy for the occupants to benefit from.

Mirrors in the Bright Hall inside work to ‘bounce energy’ around, and while functionally, they provide a place where you can check your appearance before leaving the house, they can also be used to reflect a pleasing view in the interior of the house. The use of mirrors to reflect ‘bad’ Qi out of the house is a bit of a misconception. If there is something so bad outside your front door that you don’t want it there, then a mirror ain’t really going to shift it. (as an ‘energetic stop-gap’, yes, it may help you feel that you are at least doing something) You may need to consider blocking the unfavourable thing or if possible, removing it from the Bright Hall / Mouth of Chi area altogether!

Long, straight hallways or pathways in the Bright Hall area need to be softened or gently curved so that Chi meanders from various focal points, slowing down its travel to the house and through the front door. Simply by using such energetic remedies like grouping frames on a wall, and implementing structures, like the bench-seat shown here; can slow down the flow of energy, and provide the sense of welcome and calm.

And it does not matter if your home is humble, comfortable, or modern and chic, if your Bright Hall isn’t bright, well, then the energy of your building and your own experiences suffer as a result.

The things to remember are:

· De-clutter & soften edges

· ‘Curve’ your entry energy

· Make it light

· Keep it clean & simple

· Love it!

The Feng Shui of your home is mostly made up of how you feel about it, and that resonates from how you perceive it looks. If you can follow a few simple rules regarding the Bright Hall, you’ll reap the rewards of high quality chi.
