All is fair in love and war, they say. Therefore, it may seem like a great idea to improve your love life using some simple methods suggested by the ancient Feng Shui wisdom.
According to Feng Shui experts, the free flow of chi in the southwestern section of a person’s home ensures the flourishing of romantic relationships, and therefore happy marriages. This corner of your home is known as the “Gua Ratio” in Feng Shui. Therefore, one must ensure that this corner remains cozy and intimate.
Since the element of the Southwest is earth, it is advisable to enhance this section of the house with earthy materials such as plants, rocks, clay or terracotta. If you have paints depicting natural scenes (although water is best avoided), you can use those as well.
Make sure all sharp edges (which can be created by pillars and certain furniture) are well hidden. Because they are called ‘poison arrows’ and they generate ‘sha chi’ or negative energy that will negatively impact your relationship.
Here are some simple Feng Shui solutions that will help you attract love and romance into your life or help improve your current relationship.
Remove all images that represent single people. However, that doesn’t mean you replace them with crowds of people. What you should do is to replace these images with soft romantic images. Peonies are a powerful symbol of love in Feng shui.
Hanging a picture of these flowers helps bring love and romance into your life.
Statues or images of mandarin duck pairs are considered especially lucky, as these ducks stay with the same mate for their entire lives.
Hang a wind chime from the south window. This will bring positive yang energy.
The chandeliers placed in this section announce a lot of positive energy.
If you are going through a difficult time in your relationship, try placing a water feature in the southwest corner of your house. This will have a very calming effect on your relationship.
The bedroom is the romantic love seat in your home. Therefore, placing a heart-shaped rose quartz in the southwest corner of your bedroom is a powerful way to enhance romance.
Keep the television out of the bedroom. It is a very obvious impediment in your life as a couple. Try striking up a conversation with each other, reading books, or listening to music instead.
Red and other warm colors belonging to her family are said to enhance romance, so use them when painting your bedroom. However, be careful with excessive use of red in the bedroom because it can arouse emotions such as anger rather than passion.
There are no mirrors in the bedroom.
Use candles in all shapes and sizes to light up your bedroom. This will help create an aura of romance. Avoid strong electric lighting. Destroy the romance.
Do not keep family photos, children’s artwork, etc. in the bedroom. These will get in the way of your romance. You obviously don’t want your octogenarian grandmother watching when you’re making love!
The brass Wu Lu gourd which has two lobes representing masculine and feminine energies is the Chinese symbol for love, longevity and romantic harmony. Placing such a gourd at the end of the bed is a powerful way to activate romantic chi in the bedroom.
Proper bed placement is also vitally important. Do not place the bed too close to the entrance. It is also not recommended to place the bed on the same wall as the toilet. This is said to drain energy that can negatively affect a relationship.
While sleeping, turn your head to the northwest.
While these tips can help improve your romantic life, it’s important to have full faith in these principles as you try them out. Because it is your faith that will determine if it works for you or not!
