Feng Shui Your Love Life

If your love life is pretty non-existent, or your relationship seems to be going nowhere fast, then check out our guide to spring cleaning your love life with Feng Shui.

Based on the harnessing of natural forces of nature to promote prosperity, harmony and vitality, Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of home layout, which works within the home to create – or destroy happiness. So grab yourself a compass and get moving!

Firstly you need to find out which way your house faces. Because you can't move your house (unless you live in a caravan!) you need to find the directions of the corners of your rooms.

Each direction relates to a different area of your life, so if you want to change your love life you should be concentrating on the south west areas of your house.

Paint your bedroom in shades of yellow, as the colour is associated with partnerships. To ensure good communication and happiness in your relationship, place two matching pink candles in glass holders at either side of your bed.

If you want passion to flow, then place a beaded curtain at your bedroom door as this encourages new energy and deflects infidelity, while a set of fairy lights hung above your bed stimulate your happy energy and feelings of affection.

Make sure your bed does not face the door in your bedroom, otherwise you and your partner may never have good health – and that's the last thing you want in your relationship.

Mirrors are also a big no no. Not only is there nothing worse than seeing your reflection first thing in the morning, but leaving a mirror in your bedroom could lead to your relationship failing due to infidelity or another person getting involved.

The perfect smell for romance is vanilla. The scent, an earth element that controls our love area, increases devotion in your life and when burned in a south west corner can attract a physical relationship.

So with your candles lit and the air smelling sweet, what more of an excuse do you need to enjoy love and romance tonight and every night?
