Feng Shui Advice for your Romance Sector
Whether or not you fully believe in the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui, or you just find the application of the principles to beautiful, peaceful, and eye-appealing, here is some great advise for anyone wanting a significant romantic intimate relationship in her life leading to marriage. Here’s some advice on how to apply Feng Shui for Romance tips in your house or apartment.
Make room for it.
When you are seeking to apply Feng Shui for Romance tips in your home, first you must think, “I need to make ROOM for another person.”
Many of us ladies, including myself, tend towards being clutter queens. If you desire to apply principles of Feng Shui for Romance in your home environment, this DEFINITELY inhibits the development of the romantic and intimate relationships which we so greatly desire. We have whole websites and books dedicated to helping us become better domestic mavens. FlyLady is an excellent free resource. I love them. I need all the help I can get. The principles of Feng Shui are just one more marvelous help for us as we seek fulfilling romantic relationships.
We need to declutter, and declutter, and declutter to make ROOM for another in our lives. When I work with my Dating and Romantic Relationship clients, I ask them about their bedrooms. What is the state of them? Is this a room where men want to come in and be sensually romantic and intimate with you? Does it invite romance and sensuality?
Start with your Bedroom to Apply Feng Shui Tips and Advice to Promote and Enhance Romance
Is Your Bedroom Inviting for a Sensually Intimate Romantic Relationship?
Your bedroom is the center of ROMANCE in your house or apartment. This is where you will both be resting and romping in the sheets. You hope to share sensual intimacy here. OK, let us be real. You hope to have LOTS of it here. I hope the same for you, too. Lots and lots of sensuality. So, is your bedroom inviting for romantic sensual play and connection?
Is your bed large enough for two to sleep and play comfortably? I’ve heard of couples sleeping on a FULL bed. I hope neither of them rolled over much. Personally I’d recommend either a QUEEN size or KING size bed. With men over 6 feet tall generally prefer the KING size beds. There is also then room to sprawl. Some adherents of Feng Shui don’t recommend a KING size bed because it is really 2 single beds in the Box Spring area. But since we are already two becoming one here, I think it works.
Next, what about the state of your sheets?
Has anyone else seen them for awhile?
What about the quality of your sheets?
Is it perhaps time to upgrade them?
You can get really good deals these days just about all year around. However, the traditional White Sales months are January and August. Be sure to check out high quality Egyptian cotton sheets during those months and perhaps add another set to your linen closet.
You want to go for beautiful and restful colors.
- Plums
- Merlot
- Navy
- Earth Tones
- Soft greens
- Blues
- Butter cup yellow
- Soft pink
- Lilac
- Lavender
Avoid super bright colors on your sheets as color does affect our sleep and our ability really to rest. We need to REST here (as well as all of those other fun activities you’re hoping to engage in here in your play pen).
Natural Fibers really ARE best.
Additionally, aim for high quality cotton sheets. That is measured by a high thread count number. Polyester blends may be a better fit with your budget. I understand. However, you really WILL feel the difference. In fact, my face becomes inflamed from some polyester blends. The higher the thread count of the cotton, the better. Indeed, Egyptian cotton is best. Dreamy fabulous best!
If you live in a very cold climate, add blankets preferably in wool. Some people find this too itchy and may need to add fleece blankets. That’s OK. As with all the principles of of creating a wonderful life partner relationship, go with what works for you, your climate, and your preferences, ultimately. It’s about what helps you to create the best life partner relationship for YOU.
Then add a feather down quilt with duvet. Some people are allergic to down. That’s fine. You can often find some very warm alternatives. The duvet cover makes for a beautiful finish to your bed. Here you can add some elements of color.
During the Spring and Summer months, the quilt may provide too much warmth to be comfortable. In which case, simply add a cotton coverlet. Here you can use different colors which reflect the colors of Spring and Summer. Maybe some floral patterns?
Another way to introduce sensual texture and eye-appealing color is with pillows. Think Eyelet Lace pillows. Some with delicate faggoting. And then behind those, place pillows featuring a color. A little bit of red, coral, or pink to bring in Romantic color elements can be quite beautiful here.
Be careful about placing really bright colors or lots of red into your bedroom as they are aggressive colors and are just too much for a restful and romantic room. Small touches of red are good for the bedroom. A small red velvet heart shaped pillow. A smattering of small red votive candles.
In the bedroom, leave plenty of space for air and sunshine to fill your room. At night, have a window open to let plenty of life-giving fresh air into your room for your best and most restful sleep. When I leave in the morning, I will even leave a window or two open to let some cross ventilation of air come in along with making sure the blinds are open to let in the sunshine and enlivening Yang energy while I am gone for the day.
Some elements to leave out of your bedroom:
- TV
- Large Electronics
- The Computer
OK, ok. I know. I live in Silicon Valley. For some couples here, the laptop IS coming into the Bedroom. That’s ok. Just remember to turn it off and perhaps even go place it back in your office or living room before you go to bed. Because once you are in there, baby, it’s candle light, shimmering fairy lights, soft light enhancements, romance, communication, intimacy, mutual seduction and sensuality.
Do you really want to compete with Survivor for attention here? Oy! I’m the pretty one, remember? Words to live by. If he’s watching TV or would rather be watching TV in the bedroom with you, we have bigger problems. Either it is time for NEXT! Or we need a serious injection of copulins to stimulate his testosterone. Some Victoria’s Secret or La Perla might also help to spice things up. I’ve even seen fabulous lingerie ensembles for sale at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. Sensual lingerie is available at a number of different price points and stores.
On Saturday days before DATE NIGHT, I make a point of closing the door to my bedroom, isolating it, and lighting candles in there. Several candles. In Feng Shui principles this is the precious element of FIRE. FIRE is good for romance and passion for your sensuality. Additionally, I feel it creates a magnetically romantic and sensually sexual attractive energy in the room. I keep the door closed to keep the energy in contained in my bedroom and avoid diffusing all of that precious energy build up. It’s like seductive anticipation. You don’t even need to invite anyone there later that night. Just having it creates an energy of sensual magnetism and works on your own unconscious mind’s emanating allure!
The principles of Feng Shui also recommend adding pairs of furniture and figures to your bedroom to reflect auspicious romantic relationship energy. Traditional Chinese Feng Shui recommends pairs of Mandarin Ducks. They recommend Pairings. You do not need to follow that if your room does not have a lot of Asian motifs to it. Pairs of kissing angels. Bride and Groom images. Pair of Swans, a bird who mates for life. These are all good for more contemporary Western styles of interior design. If there is something like those from your particular heritage and ethnicity, aim for using those.
