Feng Shui for Romance
awekening Love

Tai Chi
The Tai Chi which is at the center of Feng Shui is a symbol most of us are aware
of. It is sometimes called "two fish swimming in a circle with the seed
of one in the other." I often think of it as the moment of the half moon
when the darkness and the light are in balance. What ever symbology comes to
mind, the metaphor is for balance between the yin and the yang, the male and
the female, the dark and the light. Each energy is equally valid and strong
and in balance and harmony. They are invincible - - they are inseparable. The
reason Tai Chi has become a metaphor for love is because it represents the joining
rather than the separation. The ancient art of placement can help one to either
find that person with whom one can find at-one-ment or help us to create at-one-ment
with the person we are currently with.
Harmony In Feng Shui
One looks at a space as a matrix (called a bagua) and makes treatments to obtain
harmony and order in areas that are out of balance. We seek to create the positive
flow of chi. In relationships, the area of the home that designates relationships
is the South West or Kun. If there is disharmony in this area of the home and/or
the bedroom, the relationships will suffer. If the house for example has this
part of the structure cut out of it for some reason, there will be problem with
this area flowing. In the bedroom, if this area is filled with clutter, dirty
clothes and junk, this area of the life will suffer.
Treatments:
To open up the chi in this area and to bring luck into the area of relationships,
there are some simple placements and treatments that you can do. In this area
you can place two beautiful living plants. If they are flowering plants, so
much the better. Not three plants. Not one plant. Not ten plants. Two plants.
Also a wind chime in this area will attract chi. I have a crystal hanging in
this area that reflects light in from the outside. If no windows are in the
area, you might consider hanging a beautiful mirror. A statue of two lovers
would be a perfect treatment. Remove any sharp objects from the area because
they cut chi. Also if this area has a window which is directly across from another
window or a door you must hang a crystal to capture the positive chi. This would
be a very positive location to put an altar to love with an incense burner using
the incense of the scent of roses or lavender. The color pink will also work
very well in this area.
Magic
Many people do not understand another major aspect of Feng Shui, and that is
the magic that was practiced by Chi Magicians or Feng Shui Shamans. Affirmations
and chants activate chi and you can use affirmations to attract positive chi
and thus love into balance in your life. One affirmation to help you manifest
this reality is, "I attract and accept love in my life." Write it
on a beautiful piece of paper and place it with the two plants in the area of
the southwest that you have decided to activate.
