Heat Up Your Love Life with Feng Shui

Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? There are simple feng shui cures you can apply to the parts of your home that affect your relationships. Put these quick tips into action and see the energy of love start to flow to you

The love zones of your home are located in your bedroom and the back right-hand of your flat or house. To get the best results, concentrate on these areas when working through these ideas.

Things to REMOVE

1.) Anything from old relationships: You've got to cut the ties to the past. Lose the old love letters, furniture, trinkets, gifts and dried flowers from a previous relationship. It's time to move on.

2.) Overtly single stuff: If you are single and looking, you can get results by just removing the art in the home that depicts a single woman within the frame. If you have a portrait of yourself, give it to a friend or relative to hold for you for a while. Single ladies hanging around the house attract single attitudes and energies.

3.) Too much feminine ch'i: If your home or room is so covered in lace and perfume bottles that a bloke can't even come in and sit down without shivering, then ditch some of the girly stuff.

4.) Juvenile ch'i: Stuffed animals, games and dolls don't attract mature relationships - if that is what you are looking for.

5.) Distractions: Remove items that make you stray from your relationship goals, such as exercise equipment, work-related items, laundry and television. You can still keep these items, but keep them out of the love area.

6.) Pointy and pokey things: Sharp angles and corners poking into this area of the home only keeps the people you attract at bay. Lose the cactus.

Things to ADD

1.) Space: Make room for the energy of love by creating space. Clean out half the medicine cabinet, half a drawer, some of the wardrobe. Allow the nightstand on the other side of the bed to remain empty, or you could add a little something there that you think your lover would be attracted to.

2.) Matching pairs: Replace the single stuff with matching pairs of things: a set of lovebirds, a couple of candlesticks, complimentary pictures on the wall, etc.

3.) Sensual items: If the possibility presents itself, are you prepared? Chocolate, candles, massage oils, champagne, nice sheets, a clean bathtub or a sexy dressing gown can help you handle the energy when it arrives. Think of the five senses and make sure you have catered to each.

4.) Pink stuff: In Feng Shui, pink is the colour of love. Pink stuff can actually help hold love energy for you. Drape a pink throw over your bed or chair - almost anything of this colour can help your relationship prospects.

5.) Round or rounded items: Curvy items mimic body form - nice to have around in the relationship area.
