Can Feng Shui Make Men Romantic?

When I told my husband I was going to practice yoga, he mistakenly thought the improved flexibility of my body would make my opinions more flexible.

When I told him I was going to have acupuncture, he didn't get the point - literally. John didn't believe inserting a needle between the two bones in my forearm would prevent nausea, but it does. I feel better on boats, on planes and when I listen to campaign promises.

Because the Chinese were right about acupuncture, I decided they must be right about feng shui; and I feng shui'd our house.

A bell by the front door leads luck in; a bell by the back door leads luck out. We didn't have a bell, so I moved the wind chimes to the front door. I thought that should work because wind chimes enhance luck.

Dried flowers are good for decoration; but because they're dead flowers, they're bad for feng shui. Out they went.

Out went the live plants in the bedroom because they create too much energy for sound sleep. Because live plants are good in rooms of sick people, I moved them into my husband's office. He wasn't sick, but he wasn't feeling good about feng shui.

Not wanting the good energy in the house to be bad for my marriage, I put a lot of feng shui in our bedroom.

Without the help of my doubting Thomas, I moved our bed. Sleeping with your feet facing the door is the death position. In my wedding vows I'd promised until death do us part, but I didn't want to be parted by our bed or have it turn into twin beds.

Because any suggestion of water in the bedroom promotes misunderstanding, the painting of the ocean went into the living room.

A mirror in the bedroom causes a third person to enter an otherwise good relationship. Even though my mother-in-law lives across the country, the mirror went into the entrance hall.

Then because pairs promote romance, I put a picture of John and me on both sides of the bed. I was hoping a pair of the pair of us would double the romance.

Actually, not using feng shui in our new house was what improved the romance. In our new house I left the feng shui to Mother Nature. Water provides good energy and I have the Pacific Ocean for a backyard.

Great Feng Shui Tips for the Kitchen

Sphere: Related Content

The kitchen is the most important area of the home when it comes to promoting good health and prosperity. A kitchen with a good feng shui will bring good fortune and good health for the whole family.

One of the most important tips is to make sure that the kitchen is not visible from the main door. Imagine the house to be your body, the main entrance being your mouth and the kitchen your digestive system. The kitchen should be located deep within the house. It should be towards the back of your home, but not exactly at the back of the home, to prevent the good luck generated from escaping to easily.

The stove of the kitchen should be positioned in such a way that when a person is cooking, he or she is facing the dining or living room with her back against a wall. This is known as the “command position”.

All sharp objects and the kitchen utensils should be neatly tucked away out of sight in the cabinets, to keep the kitchen uncluttered and airy. Hanging pots and pans out into open is bad feng shui, as it promotes the accumulation of negative Chi. This is especially true when it comes to kitchen knives and other cutting instruments. Sharp objects emit a lot of shar-chi (killing energy), and are therefore best kept in drawers and cabinets.

Another great tip is to use your kitchen often. When you use your stove, wealth energy is created. So the more often you use your stove, the better. Traditional gas stoves are preferred over electronic stoves as they produce real flames. The element of the kitchen is fire. So the constant ignition of flames is beneficial to the sector.

The auspicious colors for a kitchen are reds, yellows and greens. Try to use these colors as much as possible to strengthen that element of fire in the kitchen for good luck!
