expression, godan verb
You enter into the energy. When entering into (positive) energy, you are going to take a liking to something and to be pleased and to be happy with it. Just imagine yourself entering into some happy energy when you take a liking to something.
The 気 portion is pretty straight forward. The 入る reading is the same as the one you learned with the vocabulary 入り口. Just imagine you're really, really, reeeally pleased with your lovely new pet eagle (い)! You're so satisfied and happy with it. Feel the good energy your eagle is bringing you.
