Feng Shui & Relationships—Bedrooms First!


If you wish to create a new relationship or enhance an existing one, your bedroom should be a peaceful and relaxing space that radiates love, sensuality, and conveys an air of sacredness.

Ideally, your bedroom is in the Relationship area of your home. If it isn’t and you’re working on relationship, I suggest placing your focus on your bedroom before working on the Relationship area of your home.

Quick Fixes For The Bedroom
Remove all clutter. It’s extremely important to remember that the bedroom has only two purposes—relaxation and romance. Even those piles of unread books on your nightstand or next to your bed are considered clutter. Limit yourself to one or two.

Keep your bedroom clean. Dust & vacuum often, including under your bed. A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for clearing old energy.

Have quality bedding. Contrary to what your interior designer may tell you, it’s best to keep pillows to a minimum and have an even number on your bed.

Think pairs, when arranging your room. Some suggestions are a picture of two doves, two hearts, two candles, or a vase with two flowers. Each person should have their own nightstand and lamp on their side of the bed.

If you’re single and wish to attract a mate, let the universe know that you are ready for a partner by providing an empty drawer and some space in the closet for him or her to place their belongings

If you’re already in a committed relationship, make sure that each person has adequate space for their things.

Move the TV out of the bedroom. If you must have a TV in the bedroom, cover it at night.

Aromatherapy. Diffuse or spray Lavender, Vanilla or other sensual essential oils daily to freshen your space. Plain old fresh air works too!

Other Décor. A loveseat or two chairs (rather than one) is a nice addition—but only if you have space. Artwork should be romantic and sensual. A romantic picture of you and your partner is ideal. If you are single, you can display a picture of you with a representation of your ideal mate (but always use a qualifying statement such as “this or something better”).

Objects left over from a previous relationship should be removed from your bedroom--especially beds!

King-sized beds generally have two box springs and are considered divisive. To remedy this split, place a fitted red sheet between the box springs set and the mattress.

Pictures of single people, children, your parents, or religious figures should be in rooms other than your bedroom.

Desks, computers, and exercise equipment usually represent work or activities outside of the bedroom’s function of rest or romance. Best to move them out. If they must reside in your bedroom, find a way to screen them off.

May your relationships be blessed!
