Default cosmic welcome mat

Dear Teachers,

I read this from The Soulmate Secret by Arielle Ford:

"Eliminating physical clutter from your life is one of the fastest ways I know to increase the inflow of new positive energy. Like putting out a 'cosmic welcome mat,' it sends a clear and specific message to the Universe that you are ready for someone to join your life."

I know what a welcome mat is. But what is a cosmic welcome mat?

I think it should be apparent from the surrounding sentences you've given.
You put a welcome mat at your front door.
You put a cosmic welcome mat out into the universe. (Cosmos = universe).
It's a metaphor.
