Feng Shui Your Love Pad
Feng Shui Your Love Pad

 by: Advice Diva

What began centuries ago in China as a way of interpreting the natural world to create more efficient agricultural systems and even study astronomy to understand the passage of time is an age old institution named Feng Shui. Through the ages feng shui (pronounced Fung Shway) has evolved due to superstition and folklore into a belief system with five distinct components: Wealth, Health, Fame, Career and Love. By understand the basics, we can control these areas of our lives by choosing meaningful symbols and images which are related to these areas and placing these objects in very specific areas of the house. The key principal here is that everything is connected energetically which means that your thoughts, feelings and behavior are influenced by your surroundings. Feng Shui masters have got this down to an art form. There are so many details and specifics of feng shui that I would highly recommend getting a book on it for your own knowledge and because it is so fascinating. What is interesting enough is that I found it to be very similar to the Wicca beliefs that are practiced in the west. There are many people who swear by the benefits of Feng Shui in the home.

Let’s get down to the fun part. You can Feng Shui your house for love. Turn that pad into the love shack to attract love, keep love going strong and keep the sex drive on high gear in the bedroom. What you want to do here is create good chi (good energy) and get rid of any sha chi (harmful energy).

The area of your house that represents your love life is the southwest corner of your home. According to the experts, if this corner has good chi, the marriage or love aspirations of the home dwellers will be positively energized but if it has bad chi, let’s just say that you won’t be getting any for a while; and that is putting it nicely according to these experts. The element that represents love is Earth and so putting a rock,

Beekman Tower
For a city that prides itself on its skyscrapers, it certainly took New York long enough to get a Gehry. The starchitect has had commissions in the Big Apple before, but this will be the first skyscraper he's completed. The Beekman is all New York, and all Gehry. It climbs 76 stories above a neighborhood that already has its fair share of architectural stars, most notably the Woolworth...
Burj Dubai
When completed, this building is intended to be the tallest in the world. Originally, it was in the running with the Freedom Tower in New York, however, the Burj Dubai has the advantage of actually having begun construction while the New York project has been bogged down in political and sentimental interests. Just how tall the tower will be remains to be seen. With any skyscraper, th...
Incheon Tower
The Asian supertower bug bit South Korea hard, and at the right time. Just as the country's economy started to heat up and the benefits of globalization began to flow back to the nation, an Atlanta developer teamed up with the Incheon city government to put this project together. In design, it is a pair of twin towers -- shards, actually -- piercing the sky, joined in a massive base, yet l...
World Trade Center (New York)
The World Trade Center is a collection of buildings in lower Manhattan. Towers number one and two (the "Twin Towers") were considered the tallest in the world by some people. It depends on how you define "tallest." Including the antenna, tower number one was 521 meters tall. However, including the antenna may also bring building-less antennae and towers into the running, which really mucks things ...
Seattle First United Methodist Church
This is a wonderful departure for ecclesiastical architecture, especially considering the fact that the building is so old. Gone are the vaulted gables reaching to the Heavens. Instead, a round red roof encourages the faithful to look inward for salvation. This isn't only the first Methodist church in Seattle, its congregation represents the first church in Seattle, period. It was started in 1853,...
Waterview Tower
When complete, the Waterview Tower will fill one of the very few places along the main branch of the Chicago River where there is no tower. It play an important role in filling a gap and be the last brick in place for the Wacker Wall -- the 20th and 21st-century version of Chicago's Michigan Avenue Cliff. However, instead of stone and terra cotta, the new paradigm is glass and steel. Deep ...
CNA Plaza
One of the most common questions we get around here is, "Hey! What's that big red building in the middle of the Chicago skyline?" Well, the answer is {HumanName}. It's not a massive structure by Chicago standards -- just 44 stories. But its position on Wabash Avenue, set back just one block from Michigan Avenue and the vast greenspace of Grant Park, makes it stand out lik...
John Hancock Center (Chicago)
An iconic presence in a city of architectural icons, the John Hancock Center rises boldly from the mid-American prairie to cast a cultural shadow much larger than the one it gets from the sun. It is a staple of movies, television newscasts, t-shirts, corporate logos and children's drawings. The John Hancock Center is photographed, idealized, and simplified into its various componen...

crystal or boulder in the southwest corner of your home you will activate this good chi. Finally you need to energize this earth element with other objects in the love corner. These objects can be crystal (Rose Quartz is suggested), large and round decorative pots and jars, peacock feathers, silk or real flowers, a globe, a symbol of the sun, a Chinese love knot made of red rope which symbolizes undying love, love birds in a pair but never single or ducks in a pair but never single, rose oil and two pink or red candles burning which is known as the “tantric twins”. All of these objects have ties with the earth element but you do not have to use all of them. It is also said that wood is a harmful element to the earth element so no wood should be here. No dried flowers as well because it could signify the death of a romantic relationship. And just in case you are planning to buy a new house or rent a new apartment, there should be no kitchen or bathroom in the southwest corner of the house. If there is a bathroom, use plants to drown out the sha chi but a kitchen is a bigger problem since a kitchen in this area symbolizes infidelity on either side.

The bedroom can also be worked on. It should be well lit instead or dark and dreary. There should be no plants in the bedroom because plants will bring excess yang (male) energies to the bedroom which could increase his libido and cause a wandering and lustful eye towards younger women. There should be no TV’s and no mirror by the bed as they cause an intrusion within a relationship. Hang a rose quartz crystal over the southwest corner of your bed. When looking for love, feng shui-ists say a man should decorate with more yin (femininity) in mind while a female should decorate with more yang. This causes a healthy balance and will attract the opposite sex.
