Going through a rough patch in your marriage? Is passionate love-making a thing of the past? Are arguments and bickering ruining the romance? Feng Shui fior love Losing interest in your partner? In short, is marriage is no longer blissful?
If your answer is a 'yes' for even two of the above mentioned questions, your relationship definitely needs help! The Chinese art of Feng Shui can be a practical solution to bring back the much needed zing, fizz and passion to your love life.
But, what is Feng Shui and how different is it from Vaastu Shastra? Answers, expert Bhavesh Patni of the Ganesha Speaks team, "Feng Shui provides remedial measures by rectifying the flow of air and water in an already constructed home with an aim to improve the presence of chi (positive energy). Vaastu Shastra, on the other hand, provides solutions by making physical changes at the construction level in your home."
G. Kennedy of Astroyogi team considers Feng Shui as a star-pacifier which tones down the ill-effects of stars and planets in our life, "We make people understand that no one can change their destiny. If a relationship is bound to come to an end, it will. However, Feng Shui can lessen the impact of the planetary movements, which usually create circumstances of arguments, fights and divorce. Though it does not cure your karmic problems completely, it can definitely lessen them by promoting communication, love and passion between the partners and rooting out any negative energy from your house."
Feng Shui expert Ritu Kapoor elucidates the significance of positive energy in making or marring your relationship, "A positively charged Feng Shui bedroom bears a perfect balance of yin (female energy), yang (male energy), natural elements and colours ensuring a cordial flow of sensual energies between both partners."
A cordial relationship between partners includes a lot more than just compatibility. Stressful lifestyles, lack of proper sleep, sexual incompetence and fertility issues also sometimes take a marriage to a dead end.
It's then that Feng Shui comes with its corrective measures, chi boosting techniques and products to strengthen the love-energies in your home...and it may be as simple as moving your sofa or changing the colour of your walls!
Here are some basic Feng Shui tips to help you get back the lost action in your sex life: Creating your love shrine: The South-west direction is considered to be an abode of love. It is the home of the Earth element which ensures stability and permanence - prerequisites for a healthy marital life. To improve one's sex life, Feng Shui energises this corner of your bedroom.
"The South-west area is an ideal place for all kinds of love-enhancement objects. Some of the most common objects to activate love and passion in this area include a pair of mandarin ducks, hearts, double happiness symbols and a double carp fish,” suggests Kennedy of Astroyogi team.
For couples who argue often, keep three boulders (rocks) together in a South-westerly direction. Make a double happiness sign on them and tie them with a red ribbon to make the direction heavy with the Earth element and gain stability," adds Ritu.
Boost your sex drive: "If dwindling sex drive is the problem, place natural quartz crystals in pink (rose quartz) or a pyramid made of rose quartz on the bed. Conch or sea shells in pink quartz or simple natural conch/ sea shells on the bed side improves a woman's sex drive," suggests Ritu. "Cicadas are a potent symbol of fertility. Couples who are trying to conceive should definitely have an image of the cicada in their bedroom," recommends Kennedy.
Water's a total taboo: As per the rules of Feng Shui, having water in your love zone fills your life with dead energy. Water and all kinds of water related objects including water beds, fountains, and pictures of water falls should be kept away from your bedroom.
Another area of concern is the bathroom. The bathroom and particularly the toilet are major 'chi ****ers.' Make sure your bathroom does not face a South-west direction. If so, hanging a wind chime can tone down negative effects. Keep the toilet lid down and the bathroom door closed.
Bed basics: To keep things cosy between couples, avoid a king-sized bed. This is worse than sleeping in separate beds. "According to Feng Shui principles, it prevents a couple from sharing the same energy. A queen sized bed will keep you in contact and loving means touch. Contact brings intimacy," suggests Kennedy.
"If the headboard of your bed is placed against a window, it will give you very little support in life from your lover. If you can't relocate your bed, simply place a decorative screen between the headboard and the window or hang heavy drapes to cover up the window at night," adds Kennedy.
Colour wise: "Feng Shui recommends quiet (yin) and calming neutral colours for the bedroom, including yellow, white, grey, beige and brown, as well as sensual accent colours, like pink and peach on the walls, furniture and bed sheets. Though bright red (yang) or bright pinks are meant to bring passion to a relationship; they should be used in accordance with the elements active in that particular area," suggests Patni.
Living elements: As per Feng Shui, natural flowers, plants and living animals like fish in aquariums should be kept out of the bedroom, since they are the symbols of negative energy. And if you are thinking to give red roses to your beloved, Feng Shui warns you! Red roses with long stems and sharp thorns harm your relationship; go for pink roses, without thorns instead. Pink symbolises harmony and an open heart.
Electric energy: As for a television in the bedroom, a lot of Feng Shui masters are strictly against it. But, if you can't live without your TV-and-bed combo, cover your TV with a piece of cloth when it is not being used. "This will shut out the negative energy that they emit even in the still mode. But, we recommend keeping all those electronic gadgets away from your love area, especially where you place your head" says, Patni.
Let the chi flow: Since Feng Shui is all about the balance between the yin (female energy) and the yang (male energy). Make sure you have enough open space on either side of your bed. Also, keep your bedroom neat, airy and uncluttered to let the chi meander freely in your sleeping quarters and dispel the stagnant chi that causes health and money-related problems. Soft-edged chairs and curvy furniture sans any sharp edges also promote the flow of chi.
Last but not the least, maintain a positive attitude and be open to the possibilities of Feng Shui. Don't be afraid to make the physical changes and let the cosmos bring love to you. And remember, the only way to get the best of sex is to love your partner, so never miss a chance to say 'I love you!' and see the magic.
