Easy Love Rituals to Attract a New Romantic Partner

Looking for a new relationship does not have to be a stressful process. It's supposed to be fun, never mind blind dates from the internet or those matchmaking efforts of your sister, cousin, dentist… In the spirit of fun and spiritual growth, here are some terrific rituals to help you enhance the love around you and motivate you to find someone special.

Feng Shui- This thousand year old science from Asia teaches you how to arrange objects and furniture in your home so that things in your life run smoothly. One love trick is to buy objects in pairs. Having symmetrical items on your desk, mantle, or dining table can draw in the energy of "couples" to your life. So, when you are shopping for your household, instead of getting one candle holder, bud vase, or swan ornament, get two. Putting pairs or a very tall lamp in the southwest corner of your house is also a good idea as this is considered the "love corner". Before starting a ritual in this area, make sure it is tidy as you do not want to bring clutter into your love life!

Pictures- This is similar to using the Feng Shui tip above. If you keep pictures up on your walls, change existing ones to photos or paintings of love: two children hugging, dogs playing, a happy couple in love. Make sure it energizes the kind of love you want. If you don't want to fill your entire house with pictures of couples kissing, then keep your other pictures for the kitchen or hallway and save your romantic ones for your bedroom!

Create a Love Journal- Get a nice journal where you can paste pictures of love. You could also use a sketchbook from an art store, just make sure that it can hold a lot of pictures and has a sturdy cover. Inside of your journal, place photos of couples doing whatever you think you would be doing in your ideal relationship - playing sports, having a romantic dinner, talking on the phone, wearing bedtime clothes (wink, wink), playing with children. To give you an example, I once put in a picture of a man and woman talking over the telephone because communication is important to me. The only caveat is making sure that you have a well-rounded journal because you will get what you ask for and not always in the way that you expect! Around the time that I had my love journal with the photos of the telephone, I was seeing a man who I rarely saw in person and mostly spent time with talking on the phone!

Also put in your favorite quotes. I love quotes about love and I file them away when I find something special. Examples of soul mate quotes and general love quotes are available at: http://www.venusopenshearts.com. (click on "soul mate quotes"). Another thing which can enhance your love journal is to write love letters to your future mate. I have heard of people having success with this. You might talk about your dreams and goals or say a special prayer that this person is safe and well. Put anything in your journal that reminds you of a loving, successful relationship.

Candles- Some people find burning candles creates a feeling of serenity and spiritual blessing. Find red or pink candles to burn when you are praying for love. It is beneficial when doing this ritual to actually say or write a prayer for love when you light the candle(s). You could also put a picture of a loving relationship near the candle when you burn it. See yourself in place of the person in the picture. Remember to be safe and monitor the candle when it is burning!

Visualization- This ritual can be combined with anything else that is listed here to increase loving energy around you and your home. Only think about what you want to happen. If you are not a "visual" person, just pretend you are hearing words of love spoken to you or that you are hugging or being kissed by a loving mate. Use whatever feelings, images, or sounds which can make the idea of having a mate real for you. Every person has a difference sense that they use to process information and to remember things. Don't worry if you can't see as well as someone else. If you can make it feel real in some way, then that's great!

Keep Red Roses- There is a reason that people give red roses for love. Buy red or dark pink roses when you want to recognize the energy of love and bring more romance into your life. If you don't want to buy roses, try getting rose water spray or choose another flower that reminds you of romance.

Do Loving Things for Yourself- Do little daily rituals to remind yourself how lovable and sexy you are. Treat yourself to a nice bath, make yourself a wonderful romantic supper for one or buy yourself a new outfit that makes you feel attractive. Do anything that makes you feel special and appreciated. When you know how to appreciate yourself, someone else will too!

Watch Romantic Movies and/or Read Books about Love- This is best done in conjunction with the other rituals as you want to make yourself feel receptive to love rather than remind yourself of being single!

**A psychic's tip: try doing these things on a Friday. Friday is ruled by Venus (Freya in Norse Mythology) who is the goddess of love and sensuality. Let this energy add power to your rituals. You can also begin your rituals on a new moon or just after a new moon. This phase has extra spiritual power and helps boost our goals and projects. It's a time when our slate gets clean and we can add new things into our lives more easily.

(Remember that each person's results will vary depending on how open they are to a new relationship, whether or not they are making an effort to meet new people, and if they are good at discerning what love connections are suitable for them.)

The best thing to do is enjoy yourself. When you are vibrant, alive, and feeling good, you're showing your best self and new people will be drawn to your energy.
