Feng Shui is the ancient Asian practice of object arrangement and space planning designed to bring balance and harmony into your environment.

Feng Shui fortifies a home with positive energy known as chi. The attainment of positive chi is both an art and a blessing to those who manifest that chi. The word feng means wind and shui means water. Each one is associated with good health and fortune.

If your love life needs a quick boost, you can use the art of placement to produce the romantic results you desire. Relationships need a proper environment to bloom. They need the balance of the five elements, too much or too little will find the romance withering.

Here are some Feng Shui tips to enhance your romantic space: The first thing you must do is remove clutter out of your romance area (generally this is the southwest area of your bedroom). This means you must remove trash, dirty ashtrays, dead plants and nothing should be stored under the bed.

Dust and cobwebs should be cleared away. Enhance your space with romantic colours, such as shades of pinks, reds and whites. For those who'd find this too feminine, maroon, greyish tones of pinks and whites can be used. The key is to not use any one colour so much that it overpowers the others. Other good colours include browns, lavenders and yellows.

If you keep flowers in the room (an excellent way to attract romance into your life), make sure they are always fresh. Silk flowers are an okay alternative, provided they are free of dust. But no dried flowers as they signify death. Also, make sure roses are dethorned. And yes, no cactii either.

In Feng Shui a Relationship Altar positively stimulates a relationship. Designate a special place in your romance area in which to put items that will encourage a healthy, loving relationship. Things to include in your Relationship Altar can include a heart-shaped pink crystal quartz, a pair of candles, or mandarin ducks.

Use the Pairs Principle to encourage love. That means two candles, two nightstands, two lights on top, two potted plants, two pillows, two chairs, etc. The Chinese symbol for love is the Mandarin ducks. They signify love, romance, fidelity, affection, and loyalty in love.

Your bed should be placed in a commanding position of the poor room. This is done to permit the widest possible vision. The door or entry to the room should be easily seen from the bed. And the head of the bed should be against a wall or a corner: If you have nightstands, make sure there's one on either side and that the bed is accessible on three sides to attract and keep a partner. The bed should not be placed under a window.

The bedroom is for sleep and intimacy. No one should come into your room without your invitation. There should be no distractions such as workout equipment, a television or things that remind you of work. It is good to hang pink (heart-shaped) crystals and wind chimes in a sunny window to attract good love energy (yang).

Pictures of you as a child, your children or other relatives should also be removed from the bedroom or romance area. This space should be reserved for couples and should only display pictures of the two of you.

Dim lights will give the room a warm, inviting feeling. No harsh fluorescents or high-wattage lighting should be allowed here.

While this is by no means the ultimate guide to Feng Shui for romance, it is a good start. These tips will give your relationship area the boost it deserves and your romance the fulfillment it requires. Alter your space and you will alter your love life...
