Improve
Your Love Luck with Feng Shui
by: Stephanie

Are
you tired of looking for love without success?
If so, the layout, furnishings, and energy of
your home and bedroom could be part of the problem.
When the areas of your home affecting your love
life are cluttered, missing from your floor plan,
or suffering from sha chi (harmful energy) it
can be difficult to find and maintain a good relationship.
A
key principle of feng shui is that everything
is connected energetically. This means that your
thoughts, feelings, and behavior are influenced
by your surroundings. A dark, untidy bedroom contributes
to an atmosphere of fatigue and depression, which
in turn makes it harder for you to find the energy
to clean the place up. In feng shui terms, it
also undermines your ability to attract and maintain
a joyful and fulfilling romantic attachment. Feng
shui problems can even affect your reputation,
make it harder to meet new people, and lead to
increased arguments and miscommunication -- all
of which contribute to difficulties in your love
life.
Improving
your love luck with feng shui starts with understanding
that attracting a partner is only part of the
solution. For example, if a serious relationship
has recently ended, you may need a period of healing
and self-reflection before starting to date again,
no matter how eager you are to connect with your
next partner. Maybe you have no trouble finding
dates, but can't seem to meet the right kind of
person. Or perhaps you're seeing someone exclusively,
but seem to be stuck just short of commitment.
Here
are some quick ways you can apply basic feng shui
principles to increase your chances of success
in various stages of the relationship cycle:
When
you need to recover from a break-up before moving
on, your key task is to let go of the old relationship
and reconnect with who you are as an individual.
In feng shui terms, relics from past relationships
- such as photographs, clothes, and mementos -
hold you in the past. The stronger that old energy
is, the harder it will be to move on to someone
new. Remove anything that reminds you of a past
failed relationship from your bedroom. This includes
things that are out of sight in your closet, a
dresser drawer, or under the bed. Pillows, mattresses,
and bedding absorb your energy over time, so when
a marriage or live-in relationship ends, it's
a good idea to buy new sheets and pillows and
even a new mattress if you can afford it, to help
you make a fresh start. New bedding is also a
good idea if you have been single and lonely for
a long time. Pamper yourself during this stage,
and try to do at least one thing every day just
because it makes you happy.
When
you are actively looking for a partner, your key
task is to create space for a new romance. If
your closets, dresser drawers, and bathroom shelves
are filled up with your own stuff, there is no
room on an energetic level for someone new to
come in. That's why the best way to attract a
new romance is to literally make space for it.
Empty out at least one dresser drawer for your
next partner's clothes. Make space in the closet,
in the bathroom cabinet, and on bookcase shelves.
Start with your bedroom, then move on to the rest
of the house. Is there room for another person's
DVDs and music in your CD rack? Where will your
new sweetheart put his or her health supplements,
exercise gear, notebook computer? Is there room
for another car in your garage, or have you filled
that space up with stuff? Make a list of all the
areas of your home where your new partner might
need some space, and try to free up at least 25
percent of it. If you can't clear 25 percent of
the relevant spaces, just do the best you can;
your strong intention to create room for a new
relationship is the most important factor. When
you do connect with your new love, you can look
for a more spacious residence together!
When
you have met a "likely prospect" and want to nurture
that new relationship, your key task is to ensure
that your bedroom supports romance. This is a
good time to get rid of any clutter blocking the
path from the front door of your home to the door
of your bedroom. This will help keep the energy
in your bedroom fresh and strong. In feng shui,
the symbolism of what we see is very important,
so make sure your bedroom says "romance" in some
way. Focus on these areas: 1) what you first see
when you enter the bedroom; 2) the wall across
from the foot of the bed; 3) the relationship
area of the room (the right-hand corner on the
side of the room opposite the door, and/or the
SW sector). Just about anything that means romance
to you can be appropriate feng shui imagery for
your bedroom. Traditional romantic symbols such
as hearts, cupids, and pictures of happy couples
always work well, as does a faceted feng shui
crystal hung in the relationship area or over
your bed. Look for opportunities to group objects
in pairs, such as placing two pink or red candles
or a bud vase with two red silk roses on your
bedside table. Pale green is also a good color
for new romance.
Although
these simple steps are just a few of the many
ways you can use feng shui to improve your love
luck, they will do a lot to shift the energy of
your home. As your environment becomes more welcoming
to romance, your own energy will shift as a result.
When you are clear in your heart about the kind
of love you want, and take action to welcome it
into your home, your dream of lasting happiness
with a wonderful partner really can come true.
