Finding and keeping love is not a one size fits all kind of situation. There are many tools, tips and philosophies to help us along our path to love. Denise DivineD has provided a beautiful, balanced approach to inviting love into our lives through Feng Shui. Read her suggestions on how to clear your space and make your home into an inviting space for love. Feng Shui Design is the ancient Chinese art of placement. Feng Shui (fung-shway) is all about balancing and harmonizing your environment’s chi (energy). Through the use of colors, design, and compass directions, you can truly transform your environments. A transformed environment translates to a transformed life.

Declutter
Clutter creates energy blocks in your environment. Get organized by ridding everything that is no longer working in your life. Divide your home into sections for daily or weekly decluttering. Create bins labeled Trash, Donate, File, and Recycle. Take your bins to their designated “dumping” grounds at the end of each day. This will help you to stay organized and avoid overwhelm for the next day’s tasks. Take a look at everything from furniture clutter to paper clutter. The feng shui energy starts grooving the minute you start moving!

Southwest Sector
The Southwest sector is known as your Love and Relationships sector. This is the area that governs all of your relationships (business, family, friends, romance). Bring in pinks, yellows, beige, white, and a little red to the Southwest.

Pair Items
Love starts within before it manifests outward. See yourself “paired up” by pairing everything else up. Enjoy two end tables next to a cozy loveseat, artwork that displays a couple in love, and/or a lovely dining table set for two. The pairings are truly endless.

Bedroom Decor
Your bedroom rules your health and relationships. Pay attention to the design and decor of the environment. Make sure that your bed has a side table on each side. This will manifest equal partnerships. Have a strong headboard and baseboard as well. This will manifest stability and security in your relationships. Bring in a sense of sensuality with silk sheets, faux sheepskin rugs, and cozy blankets. You want to create a relaxing and cozy environment for yourself.

Bedroom No Nos
Avoid blacks and blues. These two colors are associated with water elements. The last thing you want to do is water down your relationships. Avoid a home office in the bedroom. You want to leave work in a work room. Your bedroom is for rest and relaxation. Avoid hanging mirrors across the bed as well. Mirrors bounce around energies that can disturb your sleep. Mirrors can also create a “third party” energy in your relationships. Televisions should be covered up or taken out. You want your bedroom to be a sanctuary where the only distraction is your partner.

Knowing what you want will save you a lot of time in relationships. Create an ideal partner or relationship list to place in your Southwest sector. Start by listing the Top 20 qualities that you love about yourself. This will help you to better understand the qualities that will compliment yours. Being honest with yourself will attract the same from others.
