Why You Should Never Have a Welcome Mat (Seriously)

Babe, we need to talk about that cute little “Welcome” mat on your front porch. You know, the one that says “Home Sweet Home” or “Live Laugh Love” in curly letters?

Yeah… it’s time to throw it out.

I said it on The Healing Bitch Podcast and I’ll say it again: That welcome mat? Might as well say “Demons Welcome.” 👻

It sounds dramatic, but hear me out.

“Energy can’t cross your threshold unless you invite it in,” Ray Seti said during our convo. “And guess what? A mat that literally says ‘Welcome’ is a wide-open energetic invitation.”

Listen, the spirit realm is full of boundaries and most people aren’t setting any.

You’re out here saging your space, lighting incense, gridding your windows with selenite… and then letting every energetic hitchhiker waltz in with a cheerful little Welcome! sign.

Make it make sense.

What You Should Do Instead:

✔️ Ditch the welcome mat (obviously). ✔️ Replace it with something neutral or protective: think black cats, moon symbols, or even a cheeky “Go Away” if that’s your vibe. ✔️ Smudge your front door regularly. It’s your portal. ✔️ Reinforce energetic boundaries. Say out loud: “Only love and light may enter here.”

This is especially important if you’re intuitive, empathic, psychic AF, or even just sensitive to vibes. You don’t need anything messing with your peace the moment you walk in from work.

“Spirit respects free will,” Ray said. “But if you’re not setting the boundary, it’s going to test it.”

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough spiritual boundary tests for one lifetime.

🧹 Clean Energy Starts at the Door

Think of your home like your phone. You wouldn’t leave it unlocked with all your texts, money, and private life wide open, right? Your front door is the same. Set the lock. Energetically and spiritually.

If you’re not convinced, start paying attention. That buzz in your chest? That heaviness when you walk in your own house? The weird dreams? It might be your space trying to tell you something.
