Don´t believe in those who say that the perfect approach to attract love is to adjust the living environment by re-placing images of Lone Figures with pictures of happy couples, by creating cozy seating arrangements, by removing televisions out of bedrooms. My all-time favorite is the advise to down-size from a king size bed to a queen size bed. By analyzing some of the advice it is very clear that these “Feng Shui Practitioners” all have one thing in common: It is called wishful thinking.

The art and science of Feng Shui is based on a set of calculations based on the year of construction of a home, ones personal supporting feng shui helps to find love directions, an exact 15 degree LoPan Compass reading as well as the individual floor plan we are dealing with. Replacing images of “lone figures” with “pictures of happy couples” will not do the trick. As we are only working with the Five Elements ( Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal ) you can decide for yourself – Pictures do not belong to any of the Five Elements! At very best it could be considered to be a PLACEBO. Placebos may have a tremendous impact on the subconscious, yet should not be mixed up with the subject of Feng Shui.

Why love is so hard to achieve

Simply replacing images does not replace the need of a consultation by an experienced Feng Shui Consultant. Only a complete Feng Shui Consultation will tell if a home is good for people. If it is not so good for people this could be a reason why love is hard to achieve. This aspect is definitely one part which needs to be taken care of first in order to attract love.

Creating cozy seating arrangements are definitely an attractive interior design approach. Yet saying that single chairs send a message to prospective spouses to “Back Off” is a rather ridiculous statement. And it never crossed my mind before that anyone who has comfortable chairs placed in an angle to each other signals readiness for a relationship. Again, this also has nothing to do with the Feng Shui of a home.

DO and DON´Ts

Keeping television sets out of the bedroom is for sure a great idea since late night TV can indeed kill romance as well as magnetic interferences can stop you from having a rested good night sleep.

Downsizing from a King to a Queen bed also has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Some “Feng Shui Practitioners” give the advice that sleeping on a huge mattress does not cultivate intimacy, and that the investment in a comfortable queen-sized bed will help to find love. And as this statement does not give enough irrational advice it is topped off by saying that if you simply can not make the switch from king to queen you should sleep on patterned sheets to add some zest to your sex life. It is just out-right amazing what kind of advice can be found in books and on the internet.

If sheets would have anything to do with the outcome of good sleep and good relationships in a bedroom the only thing we can suggest are the colors as they are related to the Five Elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal) to be used in your bedroom after doing a Feng Shui and Love – Oldcomplete “Feng Shui Reading” of your home.

As much of the Feng Shui Advice is based on “easy want-to-be solutions” many people like to believe in the easy answer to lives challenges. Finding the right loved one is one of the challenges. Feng Shui in itself does not create love yet it can create a harmonious environment for you to blossom in to attract the right spouse.

Peach Blosson Vase Remedy

After having created the right energy in your home we can also help you attracting to meet people by placing a “Peach Blossom Vase” in your home. Each person, based on their date of birth has a personal direction helping them to attract more romantic opportunities. The “Peach Blossom Vase” is a remedy for romance in which you have to place a “specifically large colored vase” filled with clean water in a direction in your home that is assigned to your birth year.

The compass direction is the zone of your floor plan that is within an exact 15 degree angle in one of your four cardinal directions. To know the exact location as accurate compass reading is necessary.

Specific colors are used to further strengthen the effect of the water in these particular directions. The water needs to be changed weekly in order to keep it clean – flowers are not necessary. After you place the vase you will experience wonderful results. The romance remedy should not be used by couples as a stimulus because it can attract outside affairs. The peach blossom vase also does not guarantee Prince Charming rather than an increase in meeting new people – so the right judgment is still on you.
