In this episode, we’re exploring the interesting Feng Shui practice of door tilting—what it is, why it’s done, and how it can impact the flow of energy in a space. From correcting a home’s orientation to aligning with auspicious energies tilting a door is more than just a design choice. I’ll also touch on its prominent use in cities like San Francisco, where geography and cultural influence play a role, and we’ll look at when this technique may or may not be appropriate. Whether you’ve seen this method before or are hearing about it for the first time, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of how subtle shifts in structure can create major impact for better...or worse.
