Use Feng Shui to Improve Your Love Life | Tisha Morris

Posted by Tisha Morris on February 2, 2013

The two most common issues I find with clients are those concerning?love and money.?The good news is that feng shui heavily addresses both of these areas. So let?s talk about the love part and what you can do to improve your love life. This article applies to anyone that is currently in a relationship or single wanting to be in a relationship.

When it comes to love and feng shui, we look at two important areas: the Love Corner of the Bagua Map and, of course, the bedroom. While I am a Bagua Map enthusiast, the bedroom is the more important place to look when it comes to love and is the focus of this article.

Why the bedroom? The bedroom is our private sanctuary. It is the room in which we feel the most vulnerable in ? whether we are sleeping, undressing, dreaming, crying, or orgasming. And love is all about being vulnerable. Just allowing a friend or potential romantic partner to see your bedroom comes with some vulnerability. It?s like letting someone see inside you. And it is the room in which we relate most to love and romance.

In my observations, (chronic) single people often unconsciously set up blocks or barriers in their bedroom to ward off intimate relationships. For couples, disharmony is always reflected in their bedroom. Here?s how to avoid those pitfalls and instead amp things up in your love life.

1. Nightstands ? Nothing tells me more about the state of a relationship (or lack thereof) than the nightstands. I have had couples? relationships shift dramatically simply by changing or adding nightstands. It represents the equality (or lack thereof) in the relationship. Here are the rules. First of all, you want a nightstand on each side of the bed. Secondly, you want the nightstands to be of equal weight. While they don?t have to match per se, they need to be about the same height and density. Third, the lamps on the nightstands should also be of the same height and density. In other words, you don?t want a tall lamp on one side and a small reader clip on the other. Of course, this speaks to aesthetics as well.

2. Even Numbers ? Numbers are our oldest symbols and therefore very impressionable to our collective subconscious mind. For that reason, it is important to have objects placed in pairs. If you have a candle in the room, make it two. If you have pillows on the bed, make it two, four, or six. Resist the urge to have that single decorative pillow beaming out at you each night as you pull the covers down. You want to avoid the number one are even shapes that look like the number one. I was recently in a client?s bedroom where there was a picture of a single, lonely bird, a tall decorative candle sconce that looked like a gigantic number one across from her bed. And, never ever ever have a stuffed animal on your bed. This is a curse for any single woman wanting to have a relationship! For couples, avoid the number three. These numbers could show up in artwork, accessories, or bedding.

3. Mirrors ? Speaking of threes, do not place a mirror across from the bed. If you have to have a mirror in the bedroom at all, have it on a side wall, or better yet, behind a closet door. Having a mirror across from the bed is said to bring a third party into the relationship. In fact, looking back at my life, the only time I ever had a mirror in my bedroom was the bedroom in which I got a divorce. This is a very old feng shui rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. I would not test it!

4. Paint Colors ? The good news here is that there are no devastatingly wrong colors. That being said, there are colors that work better than others. Think warm and sultry! Here are some ideas for paint colors: chocolate, burgundy, dark or light neutrals, a meditative deep blue or plum. You want the color to be warm and calming for sleeping as well, so avoid yellows, bright reds, and primary colors, in general.

5. Bedding ? If you really want to spice things up, then invest in some new bedding and sheets. Go for tactile and texture. Romance is all about the physical pleasures in life. Make your bedding a feast for the senses. Ditch the comforter that you?ve had since college or the one with dog hair all over it. Get some new, clean sheets; a warm cozy, fuzzy blanket; and a comforter or duvet that you could lose yourself in. Add some pillows with varying textures for effect.

   And don?t forget to kill the overhead lighting and light some candles. We all look better under candle light!
