Years ago I became interested in and began reading about Feng Shui. I became a believer as I read and tested some of these ideas. I've found that it has improved all areas of my life, especially romance. The idea that by moving objects around in my home could bring friendship and even love into my life intrigued me.

We each have different ideas of what is romantic. You decide what is romantic to you and do that. When I was single, my dining room was the relationship area. I hung a large picture of a knight in armor leaning from his horse to embrace a lovely young woman.

I painted my bedroom a lovely soft peach and placed a peach hurricane lamp on my bedside table. I called it my Love Lamp and put a heart shaped rose quartz next to the lamp.

One day when still dating my now-husband, I was feeling a bit insecure when he hadn't called. I turned on my Love Lamp and the phone rang. "This is really woo-woo" I thought. Woo-woo or not, I tried this several times and it always worked. It's another way of setting your intention and then allowing it to happen.

Our relationship area is in the kitchen. What can you do to make the kitchen a romantic spot? My husband and I found a poster of a couple dancing the Flamenco which we have had framed and hung it in the kitchen. Colors for the Love and Relationship area are red and pink, burgundy, or red-orange. We also hung a red metal Chinese love symbol on one wall that we found on a particularly delightful excursion to Cambria, California. In your relationship area do everything in twos, two roses, two people in pictures, etc.

If you want a new romance, use only paintings or photos of two happy people in your relationship area. Do not hang a painting of a lone person no matter how beautiful it is. The bedroom is not a place for family photos- only photos of the two of you taken in happy circumstances.

My husband and I have been and continue to be blessed in our relationship. I believe that is because we honor each other's space. Our own bedroom is painted in a warm soft terra cotta. A Himalayan salt lamp lends a soft warm glow to the room. A soft scarf over the chest of drawers and silk and velvet pillows on the bed give a luxurious feel to the room. Our room feels warm, comfortable, restful and inviting to us. That's the way yours should feel to you.

We express our personalities in our homes. You are the one who is living there. Make it feel good to you. Make it beautiful warm and inviting to you. Have fun with Feng Shui and see how it can transform your life.

Would you like to enjoy peace and harmony in dating relationships while you seek the great love of your life? Learn how to attract new love and create a happy relationship by using 3 Ancient Chinese Secrets.

What is Dating Feng Shui?

It is my term for using ancient energetic strategies to enhance joy in your dating relationships and free your blocks to love.

How does this differ from traditional practice?

Many people think the 5000 year old Chinese art is all about eliminating clutter and placing things in your home in ways that promote feelings of harmony and peace.

In the book, "Feng Shui: So Easy A Child Can Do It", author Pat Heydlauff tells us that it is a guide to creating a lifestyle that is free of stress and filled with joy and peace. Heydlauff says there is no religious element in the practice, so it won't conflict with your religious beliefs.

If you'd like to know how Heydlauff recommends that you use this practice to create positive energy in your home and lifestyle, you may want to read her book. I've adapted several strategies to give you yet another tool to create the love life you desire when you use these tools:

Three Secrets Of Dating Feng Shui:

1. Remove the clutter from your heart so that you are free to energize your dream of love. How?

Identify the sad old stories that keep you stuck in the past. Now let go of them. Send them into the universe like helium balloons at a birthday party. Your heart experiences an energetic rebirth of strength and joy when it is not constricted by old energy of sadness, regret or negativity. Will you let your heart beat with renewed passion and love?

2. Once you've uncluttered your heart from old negativity, you want to focus your energy on love to attract more love into your life.

Notice all the faces of love in your life--friends, family, pets--and give thanks for them. Stay connected to love in all forms, including your religious beliefs and spiritual bonds. Notice your own face of love. Fall in love with yourself again, by revving up your loving qualities and sharing them. Healthy self love attracts love like a love magnet.

3. While you let your heart beat in love and gratitude, do some Feng Shui on your thinking. Un-clutter your mind from negative self talk and limiting beliefs. How?

Make a list of negative thoughts that block you from fulfilling your dream of romance and love. Then delete them. Place a stop sign in your mind any time you're tempted to focus on those negative thoughts or fears.

Now replace those negatives with positive thinking and actions which help you realize your dream of romance and love. Do this each day for 30 days to form a new habit that helps you attract love and create a happy relationship.

Love and chemistry unfold often when two people balance and compatibility in their interaction have styles.
You can help to improve the seeds of love with these behaviors:

(1) Show loving and caring attitudes in contrast to the falling in love.

Nothing kills chemistry faster than a date, this is overly clingy, needy, or overly expressive about the way feels he or she early in the dating process.

Yes, communicate directly and authentically, that you strongly to your dating partner attracted, but go into the sea.

A single long stemmed red rose and a handwritten note on a first date often is even more impressive, shows women as a man with an arm of full of roses, candles and other trinkets. A single aromatherapy candle in her favorite scent can be appreciated also.

Men also appreciate a thoughtful gesture of women. If he drinks tea, brings him a small gift package of his favorite tea and handwritten note, "relax and enjoy this tea blend." If it works, a small bottle could hit herbal ointment on the ground. Men enjoy a thoughtful gift of incense or aromatherapy.

(2) Show that you understand how to set and healthy limits to respect.

Focus on the exchange of positive aspects of your experience as a way of creating a border that places a limit on the drama.

Yes, you can tell you to leave, have a long term relationship without exchanging the grit and Gore positively cope with.

Avoid dumping negative energy about unresolved feelings, relationships and other life experiences on the dating table. If it does not immediately brings to chemistry, the negative energy is very loud sound from your experiences when your date reflects the date and interest can hold on a second date.

Also, watch and hear what selects your date to share. When it goes into deep details of his private life or feelings, the a note might be, you should also share deliberately more easily and deeper information for later dates save.

(3) Communicate, communicate, communicate!

Communicate your interest with words and deeds clearly and directly. Often people say again they are interested in are, but not follow-up with a phone call, e-Mail, or other feedback timely.

Or go the other direction, and with frequent calls to bomb soon after the leaving date the date.

Actions speak volumes, and authorized the inspiring more curiosity to move and the desire to spend time together, a relationship with a stage or do the opposite. Turn off a date.

Again, boundaries are important. A well-placed single call or e-Mail, the feedback at the time shares deep conversations, or asks the person himself again with a day or two meetings suitable.

Their date on his cell within an hour after the withdrawal date and expects a callback called is still not suitable on the same evening.

Also hesitate to communicate with your date shortly after the session not created an energy of forward motion, so block the relationship or undermine chemistry, which could have seen your date at the first meeting.

Also, if you experience a change of heart think during your first session, but more about the experience with your date joined, communicate in a sensitive, timely and direct way,.

Often stop especially with Internet dating, people communicate when lost interest and the other person the are wondering what happened. Vigorously creating this a situation unresolved feelings.

Instead free clearly communicated, that level of interest rates has been reduced, both human, other ways of love with clear energy and without questions or lack of resolution of the previous dating experience to pursue.

The three levels of relationships

1 / Friendship

2 / Love

3 / Relationship

If you are alone and looking for love or double and pass through challenges in love, there can be a great advantage to understand how work relations and a surefire way of dealing with the challenges in their.

Through the challenges of the relationship, the key not to react. Learn to let go.
Love is really a non-attachment. Love someone or something is the out. Let them be themselves. To love a child is to free your expectations of them. Love your partner means unconditional. Anywhere they are, how they are, no matter what they did or do not have. You love them. That is the truth

In times of challenge, go in the stands. Go sit in peace, if you release the bird, and it does not return, it is not yours. Let Karma play his hand.

Don't push and shove - learn to love.

You can win award of trust in karma, if you know that you have done your best. By following the advice of the book of sacred love, you know you are not the "cause" and as a result, you can trust Karma. Let the world do what it should. Lay down your arms. Trust Karma

If you take you are change. If you reject you are change. Organize your space and deal with emotions as they come, without response or action. Organize the space of love, trust, than if you stay in this space, and then Karma will play his hand.

Any relationship must be based on three things.

The soil must be strong and built on friendship. If there is friendship, then, the worst result of a fall in love is a beautiful place with a person that we want to take care of love. Thus, there is a drama, keep your lover as a friend. Offer friendship as an alternative to the relationship. If you cannot be friends with someone, you want to be in relationship with, and then you have was revealed as a forgery. Friendship mean to wish for the happiness of someone and do what you can to help. If you cannot be a friend to someone, how can you have a relationship with them? This is the base layer must be real real and solid. In other words if you do not have a friend of the person that you are in a relationship with (if not there was no relationship) then your relationship is really killing you two.

The second level, once established, friendship is love. This kind of love must be unconditional love. Love means free and hold at the same time. Love is the willingness to let the birds fly and whether it is supposed to be yours, it will return. This is the second level. To find out how to keep love for someone, even if they do not want the relationship with you is the gift of Innerwealth. Love is not a condition that is placed on a person. Unconditional love, the Foundation for actual relations is not if. There is no if. There is no requirement for the love that underlies a relationship. Love is the foundation that can push the emotional and physical, and conditional relationship experience. If you or your partner may not understand the concept of unconditional love, then all what is built in the relationship is temporary. Love must be unconditional in its purest form,

The third level is the relationship. A relationship based on friendship, motivated by love, has none where bad fall. The worst that could happen is that you can finish by holding the love for someone you like, but is not a control on them. Relationship is the cream on the cake, the satisfaction of itself a dynamic between two beings human. Emotional. equipment, experiential and personal - a wonderful expression of all underlying. A relationship with someone is the Crown, but it cannot be allowed to exist in the absence of a willingness to be a friend and love (and therefore free) without condition. Relationship can come and go, but the will of friendship and love are the truth who lives under it. Always know that the worst that can come, if the relationship is lost, is that you you love someone you love, but now everything can not control.

To be a good friend, you will need to have a sense that your dreams, hopes and ambitions are your own. They are portable, adaptable and transferable. If they do not show in the company of a person, they will manifest in the company of others. Relations are not there to cause your dreams to manifest. Relations are a part of the process. Nature in this confidence. Let you guide, to learn how to adapt to the changing tides of life. Take your dreams and the sacred object, let nature somewhere in the dynamics through which they express.

Know love, unconditional love, is to understand the difference between your expectations and your love. People can reject your expectations, that they cannot reject your love. Take your love was in your heart. Know that you can never stop loving someone that you can only put your mind in the way. This practice as indicated in Innerwealth - the book of love.

Relationship must be regarded as bubbles of Champaign, the icing on the cake, cream. The Crown. Built on friendship and love, relations are places of celebration. There is a health independence as only friends know. There is a health point of view, as the unconditional love can only produce. There is a will dance and fight as only the provocation and the intimacy of a relationship can create. It is built on friendship, relationship supported by innerwealth, celebrated in the intimacy.

Love and chemistry often unfold when two people exhibit balance and compatibility in their interaction styles.

You can help to enhance the seeds of love with these behaviors:

(1) Exhibit loving and caring behaviors as opposed to infatuation.

Nothing kills chemistry faster than a date who is overly clingy, needy or overly expressive about the way she or he feels early in the dating process.

Yes, communicate directly and authentically that you are strongly attracted to your dating partner, but don't go overboard.

A single long stemmed red rose and a hand written note on a first date often is more impressive to women than a man showing up with an armful of roses, candles, and other trinkets. A single aromatherapy candle in her favorite scent might also be appreciated.

Similarly, men appreciate a thoughtful gesture from women. If he drinks tea, perhaps bring him a small gift package of his favorite tea and hand written note, "Relax and enjoy this tea blend." If he works out, a small vial of herbal liniment might hit the spot. Men also enjoy a thoughtful gift of incense or aromatherapy.

(2) Demonstrate that you understand how to set and respect healthy boundaries.

Focus on sharing positive aspects of your experiences as a way of establishing a boundary that sets a limit on drama.

Yes, you can communicate that you have positively overcome challenges of leaving a long term relationship without sharing all the grit and gore.

Avoid dumping negative energy about unresolved feelings, relationships and other life experiences onto the dating table. If it doesn't kill chemistry immediately, the negative energy of your experiences will resound most loudly when your date reflects on the date, and may discourage interest in a second date.

Also, observe and listen to what your date chooses to share. If he's not going into deep details about his personal life or feelings, that could be a cue that you also should be mindful to share more lightly and save deeper details for later dates.

(3) Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!

Communicate your interest clearly and directly with words and actions. Often times, people say they are interested in going out again, but do not follow up with phone call, email or other feedback in a timely way.

Or they go the other direction, and bombard the date with frequent calls soon after leaving the date.

Actions speak volumes and have the power to move a relationship into a stage of inspiring more curiosity and desire to spend time together or to do the opposite. Turn a date off.

Again, boundaries are important. A single well placed call or email that shares feedback about the date, deepens conversations, or asks the person out again with a day or two of meeting is appropriate.

Attempting to call your date on his or her cell within an hour of leaving the date and expecting a call back that same evening is not appropriate.

Similarly, hesitating to communicate with your date shortly after meeting does not create an energy of forward movement, so can stall the relationship or erode chemistry your date might have experienced at the first meeting.

Also, if you connected with your date during your first meeting but experience a change of heart after reflecting more on the experience, communicate that in a sensitive, timely and direct way.

Often, especially with Internet dating, people stop communicating if interest is lost and leave the other person wondering what happened. Energetically this creates a situation of unresolved feelings.

Instead, clearly communicating that interest level has declined, frees both of people to pursue other opportunities for love with clear energy and without questions or lack of resolution about the previous dating experience.

The Three Tiers of Relationships

1/ Friendship

2/ Love

3/ Relationship

Whether you are single and looking for love, or double and going through challenges in love, there is can be great advantage in understanding how relationships work, and a foolproof way of dealing with challenges in them.

Going through relationship challenges, the key is not to react. Learn to let go.

Love really is a non attachment. To love someone or something is to release it. Let them be themselves. To love a child is to release your expectations of them. To love your partner means unconditional. No matter where they are, no matter what they do, no matter what they did or didn't do. You love them. This is the truth

In times of challenge, go to the bleachers. Go sit in peace, if you release the bird, and it doesn't return, it wasn't yours. Let Karma play its hand.

Don't push and shove - learn to love.

You can gain allot of confidence in karma if you know you have done your best. By following the guidance of Sacred Love book, you know you are not the "cause" and therefore, you can trust Karma. Let the universe do what it must. Lay down your weapons. Trust Karma

If you grab you are interfering. If you reject you are interfering. Hold your space and deal with the emotions as they come up, without reaction or action. Hold the space of love, trust, that if you stay in this space, then Karma will play its hand.

All relationships must be founded on three things.

The ground must be solid and built on friendship. If there is friendship, then, the worst outcome of a fall from love is a beautiful place with a person we want to care for and love. So if there is drama, hold your lover as a friend. Offer friendship as an alternative to relationship. If you can't be friends with someone you want to be in a relationship with, then you have been revealed as a phoney. Friendship means to wish for someone's happiness and to do what you can to help them. If you can't be a friend to someone, how can you have a relationship with them? This is the base layer that needs to be real genuine and solid. In other words if you wouldn't be a friend of the person you are in a relationship with (if there was no relationship) then, really your relationship is killing you both.

The second tier, once friendship is established, is love. This sort of Love must be unconditional love. To love means to release and hold at the same time. Love is the willingness to let the bird fly and know if it is meant to be yours, it will return. This is the second tier. To know how to hold love for someone even if they don't want relationship with you is the gift of Innerwealth. Love is not a condition that is placed on someone. Unconditional love, the foundation for REAL relationships has no IF. There is no IF. There is no condition for the love that underpins a relationship. Love is the foundation from which the emotional and physical and conditional experience of relationship can grow. If you or your partner cannot understand this concept of unconditional love, then all that is built in relationship is temporary. Love must, in its purest form, be unconditional

The third tier is the relationship. A relationship that is based on friendship, motivated by love, has no where bad to fall. The worst that can happen is that you might end up holding love for a person you like, but don't have control over them. Relationship is the cream on the cake, the self satisfaction of a dynamic between two humans. Emotional. material, experiential and personal - a wonderful expression of all that underpins it. A relationship with someone is the crown, but it cannot be allowed to exist in the absence of a willingness to be a friend, and to love (therefore release) unconditionally. Relationship can come and go, but the willingness for friendship and love, are the truth that lives beneath it. Always know that the worst that can come, if relationship is lost, is that you get to love someone you like, but now, just can't control.

To be a good friend, you'll need to have a sense that your dreams, hopes and ambitions are your own. They are portable, adaptable and transferable. If they don't manifest in the company of one person, they will manifest in the company of others. Relationships are not there to cause your dreams to manifest. Relationships are a part of the process. Trust nature in this. Let her guide you, learn to adapt to the changing tides of life. Hold your dreams and purpose sacred, allow nature some hand in the dynamics through which they manifest.

To know love, unconditional love, is to understand the difference between your expectations and your love. People can reject your expectations they cannot reject your love. Hold your love cantered in your heart. Know that you can never stop loving someone you can only put your mind in the way. Practice this as instructed in Innerwealth - The book of love.

Relationship must be seen as the bubbles in the Champaign, the icing on the cake, the cream. The crown. Relationships built on friendship and love, are places of celebration. There is a health independence as only friends know. There is a healthy perspective, as only unconditional love can produce. There is a willingness to dance and struggle as only the provocation and intimacy of a relationship can create. This is relationship built on friendship, sustained by innerwealth, celebrated in intimacy.
