Feng Shui and
Romance - Using The Ancient Art To Enhance Your Romantic Space
Heidi Richards
“If your love life
needs a quick boost, you can use the art of placement to produce the
romantic results you desire.” Heidi Richards
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 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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. It is good to hang pink (heart-shaped) crystals and wind chimes in a
sunny window to attract good love energy (yang).
9. 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.
10. 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.
