When I think of Valentine’s Day, the colour red on cheap cushioned chocolate boxes, tacky lingerie and plastic roses come to mind. You are thinking, well she isn’t very romantic. Perhaps not, as it seems sad that we have to remind ourselves to profess love and affection on another Hallmark occasion. Isn’t it better to cherish the first morning coffee presented in a favourite green cup and appreciate meals prepared with love at the end of a day? With that said, Feng Shui practice would embrace the whole sentiment in pink!
The Relationship Corner
This is in the far right corner of the Bagua map, the furthest corner from your main entry door. The key element is Earth and stone to ground the energy. Shades of white, red and pink and images of pairs of birds, flowers and growth are considered to be ideal to represent love. If that isn’t your colour, use shades of yellow and consider art work but always in twos. One lamp, chair or a single bed is said to communicate the state of your relationship. Place the bed in the middle of the wall with even space either side, not against the wall or under a window.

Feng Shui Tips for Love
- A bed that is not too small to be too close or too large to create distance;
- Choose a solid headboard that communicates support and strength;
- Position the bed against a solid wall where the bedroom entrance can easily be seen;
- Avoid televisions, work spaces and large electrical items in the bedroom;
- Clear out old clothes and old memories to open up to new energy and opportunities;
- Look for pairs of decor, two lamps and two bedside tables.
