Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is
the ancient Asian practice of object arrangement and space planning
designed to bring balance, harmony and well-being to your
environment. Its purpose is to enhance prosperity, creative, health
and romance. Feng Shui fortifies a home with positive energy known
as chi. The attainment of positive chi is both an art and a blessing
to those who manifest that chi. The word “feng” means wind and
“shui” means water, each one associated with a good harvest and
ultimate good health or good fortune.
If your love life needs a quick romance boost, you can use the art of
placement to produce the romantic results you desire. Relationships
need the proper environment to grow. They need the balance of the
five elements, too much or too little will find the romance wither.
Here are some Feng Shui tips to enhance your romantic space:
The first thing you must do is remove clutter out of your romance
area (generally this is the bedroom). That means you must remove
trash, dirty ashtrays, dead plants and nothing should be stored
under the bed. Dust and cobwebs on the fans, walls, light fixtures
and ceilings should be cleaned away.
Enhance your space with romance colors, such as shades of pinks,
reds and whites. Guys, this does not mean it has to be feminine. You
can use maroon, grayish tones of pinks and whites to achieve the
same results. The key is to not use any one color so much that it
overpowers the others. Other good colors include browns, beiges,
lavenders, yellows and deeper shades of those are appropriate.
If you keep flowers in the room (an excellent way to attract romance
into your life), make sure they are always fresh. At the first sign
of wilting, toss them out. Silk flowers are an okay alternative,
provided they are free of dust. Absolutely no dried flowers as they
signify death. Also, make sure the roses are de-thorned. Nothing
prickly such as cactus, unless your goal is to break-up.
In Feng Shui a Relationship Alter positively stimulates a
relationship. Designate a special place in your romance area in
which to put items that will encourage a healthy, loving
relationship. Things to include in your relationship altar can
include a heart shaped pink crystal quartz, a pair of candles,
mandarin ducks.
Use the Pairs Principle to encourage love. That means two candles,
two nightstands, two lights on top, two potted plants, two pillows,
two chairs, etc. The Chinese symbol for love is Mandarin ducks. They
signify love, romance, fidelity, affection, and loyalty in love.
Your bed should be placed in the commanding position of the room.
This is to permit the widest possible vision. The door or entry to
the room should be easily seen from the bed. And the head of the bed
should be against a wall or against a corner. If you have
nightstands, make sure one is on either side (a pair) and that the
bed is accessible on three sides to attract and keep a partner. The
bed should not be placed under a window.
The bedroom is for sleep and intimacy. No one should come into your
room without your invitation. There should be no distractions such
as workout equipment, a television, things that would remind you of
work.
It is good to hang pink (heart-shaped) crystals and wind chimes in a
sunny window to attract good love energy (yang).
Pictures of you as a child, your children or other relatives should
also be removed from the bedroom or romance area. This space should
be reserved for couples and should only display pictures of the two
of you.
Dim lights will give the room a warm, inviting feeling. No harsh
fluorescents or high wattage lighting, here.
While this is by no means the ultimate guide to Feng Shui for
Romance, it is a good start. These ten tips will give your
relationship area the boost it deserves and your romance the
fulfillment it requires. Altar your space and you will altar your
love life. If you want to know more about the ancient art of Feng
