7 Minute Feng Shui for Your Love Life

Feng Shui has been used in China for thousands of years to bring luck, good health, prosperity, and love to those who practice it. In the simplest of terms, Feng Shui is the art of placement of items to remedy problem areas in your home or work space. Feng Shui uses the ideas of Chi, or the movement of life and circulation and the Five Elements; fire, earth, water, wood, and metal to bring luck, good health, prosperity, and love into one's life.

Although practiced in China for thousands of years, in the West Feng Shui has only been known to most of us for just a decade or two. In fact, I'd never heard of Feng Shui until a friend of mine in London mentioned a few years back that she had her "Feng Shui man" in recently. She was looking for love in her personal life and success in her professional life and used the art of Feng Shui to be proactive in those endeavors rather than waiting for the things she desired to come to her.

While there are different school of thoughts on how Feng Shui should be implemented, there are many commonalities within the different variations of Feng Shui and it's some of those tips that I offer here. You can use these easy to implement Feng Shui practices to help you find love or to enhance a relationship you may already have.

Arrange items in pairs
In a romantic partnership there are two people. So two is used in Feng Shui to represent a romantic partnership. Place items like candles and pictures in pairs of two. In the bathroom, have two toothbrushes out as a symbol of your intentions for a romantic partnership.

Clean out everything under your bed
This will clear out any obstacles that may be blocking the flow of Chi, or energy, from moving around your bed. And as the bed is a symbol of love so it's important to keep the flow of Chi moving around it.

Use red elements in your bedroom
Red is the symbol of luck in Feng Shui so using red elements can help lead to luck in your love life. Don't have a bedroom that uses elements of red? Simply place a two foot red ribbon under your mattress. Two feet to represent a partnership between two people and red for luck!

Wash your bedroom windows
Chi enters your home through doors and windows. You want to keep the windows in your bedroom clean to allow Chi into your bedroom and life.

Put a live plant in your room and remove any plastic or dead flowers and plants
Live plants represent growth and life. Having a live plant in your bedroom will encourage growth in your life, including your love life

Clear the drawers in your bedroom of any clutter
Chi can become stagnate in clutter. And stagnate Chi in a bedroom can lead to a stagnate love life. You'll also want to make sure there's no clutter on top of your dresser, too.

Clear the entrance way to your bedroom
Remove any clutter in the entrance way to your bedroom, including the hallway (if there is one) that leads to your bedroom. This will allow the flow of Chi to come unobstructed into your bedroom.
