Feng Shui and Romance
|
|
|
Feng shui (pronounced "fung shway") means
"wind" &
"water". Feng shui examines how energy or qi (pronounced "chee") flows
through a room, house, building, garden, etc. and seeks to promote
general well being, prosperity, health, etc through the smooth flow of
positive qi. Imagine your space filled with clutter. Now imagine
positive energy trying to flow through this space. It would be like a
brook flowing along smoothly until it reached a point along the way
which was choked up with fallen leaves. Where energy is blocked like
this, you are likely to feel blocked as well. Here we will examine how
correcting & balancing qi in your bedroom can encourage and bring
more romance into your life. We will also look at what objects you can
put in your bedroom to attract more positive qi.

Steps to Correcting &
Balancing Qi
Step #1: Clean up your bedroom
Mess and clutter cause low energy in that room and for what energy
there is to move slowly. Besides cleaning, you should also do something
such as clap your hands loudly around the room a few times to dispel
the old, stale energy residing there.
Step #2: Remove energy from old
relationships
Now this is a big one! Look through your home - especially your bedroom
- and see what items you have been hanging onto that remind you of past
relationships gone wrong and promptly remove them! All that old hurtful
energy is clogging up the space needed for positive qi to flow and to
bring with it happy romantic energy.

Step #3: Remove negative imagery
What does this mean? Well, do you have ornaments or artwork in your
bedroom depicting a person alone, solitude, loneliness, conflict, etc.?
The images you surround yourself with have a powerful effect on your
love life. So, ornaments and artwork depicting the things above should
not be kept in your bedroom. Romantic imagery and anything in pairs is
good for use in your bedroom.
Step #4: Create a path for qi
Walk from your front door to your bedroom. If you were a brook, would
you be able to flow with ease from one place to the other? If not, move
items and furniture and create a clear flow for positive qi to find its
way to your bedroom. Also, make sure all lights along this route are
working properly and see if there are any other places you can add more
light.
Step #5: Reposition your bed
If one side of your bed is against the wall, the person who sleeps on
that side may feel confined &/or disempowered in the relationship.
If it's possible, you should place your bed so there is equal space on
both sides so you and your partner can find equal enjoyment in the
relationship.
Step #6: Welcome love
Make sure your home's front door and the door to your bedroom open
easily and open all the way. If the doors stick or squeak or cannot
open all the way due to "stuff" behind them you are blocking the flow
of positive qi. If you have a loose doorknob on your bedroom door, it
may mean you are having a hard time "getting a handle on" romance so
you should tighten it up.
Step #7: Don't workout in the bedroom
When you workout in your bedroom and/or store workout equipment there,
you are bringing hard work energy and exertion energy into your
romantic space. Do you want your love to feel like an excruciating
workout?
Step #8: Create a little positive imagery/reinforcement
Find images that reflect & symbolize your perfect relationship.
Make a collage of these images and put it somewhere you will see it
everyday.
Step #9: Make room for love
If you are not currently in a relationship but want to attract love to
your life, arrange your bed and bedside tables as if you are doing so
"for two". Look through your closets, shelves and drawers. Are they
crammed full with your stuff? Clean out some of your belongings that
you don't need and then visualize your potential new love's belongings
filling that space.
Some items you can place in the romantic area of your home to enhance
positive romantic qi are:
- a pair of mandarin ducks (not
wooden) are a strong symbol of love
- pink bedsheets because the
color pink raises yang energy
- crystals: especially rose
quartz and yellow citrine
- candles: especially pink or red
and in pairs
- images or artwork representing
lovers
- any object that strongly
represents romance and love to you
