Do you desire a loving relationship? Does your relationship lack romance? Are you looking to start a new relationship and want to keep the romantic fires from dying out over time? Feng Shui may be your answer; here are a few tips that can help.
In Feng Shui, the bedroom is considered one of the most important rooms in the home. Your bedroom should be welcoming, restful and sumptuous, a room we truly enjoy. The environment of our bedroom impacts every area of our lives. If we can not rest and enjoy a good night’s sleep in our bedroom everything else in our life will suffer as a result.
Location of the Bed
Position your bed so that you can see the entry door when you are laying or sitting in bed. You do not want the foot of the bed in direct line with the door. The best position is to place the bed diagonally across from the door. If you are unable to see the door from the bed, place a mirror where it will reflect anyone entering. If your bed has to be positioned where you can see into the bathroom, keep the bathroom door closed.
Ideally beds should be raised off the floor and the area under your bed clear and free from clutter. Stuff (old clothes, magazines, books, etc) creates stagnate energy. In Feng Shui we want the energy to flow easily and freely. Having said that, there are many people living in small spaces where storage is a premium. If you must use the area under your bed as storage, keep it neatly organized by storing everything in boxes that are clearly labeled.
Open the windows
Let in some fresh air! You can not have good Feng Shui in your bedroom if you are breathing in stale, polluted air.
Lighting
Lighting is one of the most cost-effective ways to enhance your environment. The right lighting can make a small or uninviting space feel alive, welcoming and tranquil. Lighting will illuminate and uplift the energy of a space, activating stagnant energy.
Consider using a dimmer switch to control the desired level of light in your 
room. Candles add warm, ambient lighting to a space. Candlelight adds romance and also invokes peace and tranquility. Be sure to use naturally made candles like those made with 100% soy or beeswax. According to the EPA, other candles made of paraffin contain chemicals that emit harmful toxins in to the air.
A Rose Quartz Crystal Lamp is a wonderful lighting fixture to use in the bedroom. Rose Quartz is the quintessential stone of love, it activates the heart chakra and clears the emotional body, helping to release emotional patterns that are keeping one stuck. Rose Quartz will fill the entire space with its gentle energies of love – great to use in attracting that loving relationship. Make sure you have a pair of them.
Reposition Mirrors
Mirrors in the bedroom should not face the bed. Mirrors are ‘chi activators’ and in the bedroom we want the energy to be soothing. If you must have a mirror place it in a position where you can’t see it when are laying or sitting in bed.
Remove Electronic Equipment
Your bedroom is a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. Working on your computer or watching television detracts from the main function of the bedroom; In addition, the harmful electromagnetic waves that are generated from the electronic equipment can have an adverse effect on those sleeping in the room… If you need have your computer or television in your bedroom, use a cabinet that you can close or cover with a decorative throw to hide it when not in use.
Feng Shui Color in the Bedroom
As far as color I always recommend choosing colors that you really like, colors that make you feel good. In the bedroom it is suggested that you choose “soothing, calm colors” rather than say a bright bold red or hot pink, these colors are too stimulating for the bedroom. However, these reds, pinks and corals (representing the fire element) are great accent colors to introduce into your bedroom. Perhaps a few red throw pillow, or a rose colored throw for the bed. The red spectrum of color adds passion and sizzle.
Bedroom Decorating
Images in your bedroom should be in pairs, your bedroom is a sanctuary for you and your partner. Replace photos of your children and other family members with photos of you and your partner. If you are single use photos or images that evoke a loving relationship, perhaps a framed love poem or artwork depicting love and romance.
According to the Feng Shui Bagua, the far right corner of a room is the Relationship Area (Gua). Decorate the Relationship corner of the bedroom using pairs of objects, for example a pair of candlesticks, a pair of table lamps. Decorate with objects and art that are meaningful to you and call forth what it is you are seeking to bring into your life.
For example, if you are single and have only 1 night stand beside your bed, add another one to place on the opposite side of the bed. Let the universe know that you are making room for that special to come into your life!
Where your intention goes, energy flows….
BAGUA
Bagua (Ba-gua) is a tool used to analyze the energy of any given space. In Feng Shui it is believed that certain parts of the home correspond to key aspects of one’s life.
The Bagua is a map that can be superimposed over the floor plan of your home or a single room.
Each section “gua” has a governing element, color and energy that correspond to different aspects of your life: health; wealth; fame/reputation; marriage/relationship; children/creativity; travel; career; and knowledge.
