Would you know; my friend told me this fascinating story about her practicing our new feng shui-knowledge in her own home.
She was living with her husband since over a decade, but they had never really came close enough spiritually to have a deep and caring conversation. So she did a little thinking - in feng shui, yellow is one of the colors to decorate your home with for healthy relationships, and psychologically speaking it also makes us more open and willing to communicate, more open-minded and optimistic.
On the very same evening, only a few hours after putting two yellow pillows on their common bed, her husband came to her, and he was so open minded that they had their first honest-by-heart conversation in ten years...
This is what's so wonderful with feng shui - it works even if you personally don't know a thing about it. We react instinctively to the hidden messages around us (not in a forceful way, might I add - only if we ourselves feel OK with doing whatever we are inspired to this way), and feng shui is a way to read your environment and understand what it is saying to you!
Here are a few simple things to check in your home. Following them, if possible, is a powerful way to get your relationship back on track again - or even find yourself a partner if that's what you long for.
- Clear out your bedroom from anyting and everything that is not associated to your love-life or your sleep. That rules out photos of your children or other family members (yeah, that's right - children are usually all over the house anyway, so let's have the bedroom to ourselves, while grandma looking over your shoulder during the intimate moments could cause one or two therapist visits). Make sure that you don't have work-related objects (if you really don't have the space to split the office and the bedroom into two rooms, then at least hide the computer department with a moveable wall or find a similar solution).
- Make sure that the color is not ice blue, dark grey or some other not-so-passionate color...Think warm, skin-colored, passion-thriwing, inviting colors, or imagine your top-dream bedroom, where love and sleep live hand in hand - what do you see when you picture this?
- Take a long look at the pictures and paintings, photos and sculptures. Are they showing you love? Peacefulness? Passion? Intimacy? Closeness? Or what? Arrange for all the details to only reflect a) love or b) sleep. And hey - no old boyfriends/girlfriends in your home, as in love gifts or photos in the family album. OK?)
- How about the bookshelves? Book titles like "Terror on Oak Street", "Land of the Very Dead" or "Hate, Lust and Insomnia" could slowly ruin both a good night's sleep and the mind of getting closer to the loved one...
- One last tip about love and feng shui: Use your own imagination! Place double/pairs of appropriate symbols around the home, and especially in the bedroom. Two hearts, two candle lights, two round and whooly carpets... Hang your favourite photo on the wall, from that vacation trip to Bahamas, so you can wake up every morning and look at "having a wonderful time with the man/woman I love deeply".
That's it, at least for now and in a short article :o)
It'd be wonderful to hear if anyone has tried these tips and
had some results afterwards! One little note - it is rather common that
if you start clearing out a bedroom (or any part of your home) that has
been left in a rather "forgotten" kind of state for years until now, then
these measurements just might cause the old dust/emotional energies to
start stirring around in your life for a day or two. This is normal, and a
part of the deep healing and intention coming real that you yourself have
called upon.
Good luck, to all of you!
