Love is in the air! 3 days to go and it’s Valentine’s day cum Chinese New Year as well. Isn’t it great? We will celebrate love as well as another new year! Heh I don’t know about you but I like the awesome feeling of being in love and new year – which means I can start over with my new year’s resolution –  spend less, save more, eat healthy, write down goals, and the list goes on.

So I can’t let Valentine’s day pass without posting something about spicing up our  Valentine’s day by using feng shui.  First get a compass and locate the southwest area of your bedroom, this is the Marriage, Romantic and Happiness area. If you’re single don’t despair, just think that you’re lucky to have ample time to check out Mr. or Ms. Right.

A couple’s bedroom is a place for love and relationship. A place for passion and sexuality. Here’s what to do to let the chi energy of love enter your bedroom:

  • Clean your clutter in the bedroom especially under your bed. The unused furniture or stuff that clutters the bedroom creates a negative energy that may result into fights and misunderstanding of married couples. For single men and women, the clutter will create a dull and stagnant energy that blocks all loving vibrations being sent your way.
  • Remove photos or paintings of loneliness or broken heart. Are there sad photos or paintings in your bedroom? If you have these wall decors, replace it with happy photos or paintings, like a photo of a happy couple.
  • Make a “Love shrine” in the bedroom. Place male and female paired items, like paired Mandarin ducks which is a symbol of marital union and fidelity or items like figurine or ceramic statue of loving couples.
  • Put fresh flowers, candles, and your wedding photo in the southwest corner of your bedroom to boost the positive energy in this area.

Celebrate Valentine’s day everyday,  let your loved ones know how much they mean to you and how much you love them. I do believe that we can achieve everything we set our mind and heart into as long as we strive to make it happen.  Now if you want your ex back, that’s another story!

You must be feeling “Love is in the air” these days. All kinds of ads are everywhere to remind you that its “Valentine’s Day” once again. If you have a “valentino” the more you look forward to this day. But to those single and looking, its nice to know that there’s always “Valentine’s Day” next year. I love celebrating “Valentine’s Day” and it’s a memorable day for me and my partner. Despite many think that it’s only commercialism, I still think that it’s wonderful that there’s a day for people to stop whatever their doing and celebrate love. After all, who doesn’t want to be loved?

Clueless what to give your loved ones? You may want to consider these feng shui tips as a guide to bring good luck instead of bad luck to your loved ones:

According to feng shui experts, avoid giving these gifts: 1) Sharp pointed objects like knives, swords, scissors, letter opener, etc – it is believed that sharp pointed objects gives energy that can hurt the person who received these gifts; 2) wrist watch, clocks, wall clocks, etc. – feng shui experts said that giving someone a clock symbolizes and reminding that person that “his/her time is up” and only have little time to live (pretty morbid huh?); 3) handkerchief – we usually use handkerchiefs to wipe off sweat and tears, in feng shui, when you give handkerchief as a gift, it’s like you expect that person to experience hardship and misery in the future; 4) empty wallets and coin purses – it is believed that it brings bad luck to the gift giver and to the receiver; 5) Long stemmed red roses with thorns – feng shui experts said avoid giving long stemmed red roses with thorns to your loved ones because it will ruin your relationship. But if your loved one likes long stemmed red roses, just make sure you remove the thorns.

If someone gave you these gifts already, don’t be sad because feng shui experts said that there’s remedies. For nos. 1-3, you should give a coin (any amount) to the person whom you received these gifts. By giving a coin, it symbolizes you “bought” the gifts. For nos. 4, they advised that when you received an empty wallet, put any amount inside the wallet asap and give it away. In this way, there will be no bad luck for you and for the person who gave you the wallet.

Here’s the exciting part, giving favorable gifts to your loved ones. According to feng shui experts, chocolates, wines, and fruits are good luck gifts and symbolizes good fortune. When you give these gifts to your loved ones or friends, you wish that person to have a sweet and happy life. Giving jewelryand perfumes are highly recommended because these gifts last even a lifetime, the effect is the same with your relationship and friends.

But in the end, what matters most is being able to spend time with your loved one, with or without gifts to give, for love is already a gift to both of you. Not all can find a love that last and can endure the test of time. As for me, as long as I have a cup of Cappuccino and superman is beside me, that’s the best Valentine’s day ever.

Cold weather sets me right in the mood to look for Superman to get my dose of XOXO. Not that we’re tryin’ to have a baby, but for those trying to have a baby or planning to have one soon, you can put down your viagra for now because here’s some feng shui fertility enhancers and energizers you can try at home to keep the juices and love flowing:

Pomegranate – this fruit is believed to be a symbol of healthy offspring (children). The many seeds of this fruit is a symbol of fertility luck. Its also a symbol a healthy and active descendant’s luck. According to feng shui experts, here’s what to do: place 5 pomegranates in a couple’s bedroom every morning. The 4 pomegranates should be placed in the 4 corners of the bed and the 5th pomegranate should be placed in the center of the bed. Remove the fruits when its time to go to bed and return it in the morning before the couple leaves the bedroom.

Fertility Dragons – It is believed in feng shui that placing fertility dragons inside a couple’s bedroom brings positive energy especially if the couple is trying to have a baby. Place the dragon on the side where the husband sleeps to “fill” him the needed energy in love making. Just make sure to only use a small dragon because you don’t want your husband to be “too energized” and in effect there will be too much yang energy. Too much yang energy attracts negative energy.

Venus of Willendorf Fertility Goddess – this fertility goddess is a childbearing “talisman.” This talisman was in fact became popular during the ancient times in Europe. It is believed that this talisman brings the needed fertility Chi to couples. The talisman symbolizes a fertile woman.

Fruit Bearing Trees – are also considered fertility symbols in feng shui. The more fruit bearing trees in the backyard means the luckier the couple would be. More children will come to the family. If its not possible to have a tree in the backyard/garden, a couple can place a dwarf fruit tree (see above) in the bedroom or a photo/painting of a fruit bearing tree.

Jade Elephants – elephants are also considered a symbol of royalty, fertility and longevity. In feng shui jade elephant figurines attracts positive energy. It is believed that when a couple “touches” the elephant figurines, it will bring many children to the family. Just make sure to choose elephant figurines with their trunks high up on the air for it symbolizes triumph. And be careful not to touch the elephants everyday if you don’t plan to be the next Duggar family!

When I’m dreamy, I want to have a family as big as the Duggar Family (18 kids). Nyay! But trying to have a baby can be frustrating. Some people try a lot of method that are way too expensive but do not deliver what it promised. If you’re already frustrated and have no more ideas of what to do, maybe you may want to try these enhancers and energizers. Who knows?

In Feng Shui, there are several auspicious symbols to enhance your love and marriage. A figurine of two doves close together or kissing each other is auspicious because it represents marriage. No wonder in wedding ceremonies, doves are never forgotten despite the hype of using live butterflies. In the wedding ritual when the groom and the bride let the doves kiss each other before they set it free, you will notice that the doves will fly back to each other. But recently, whenever I attend wedding ceremonies the doves have no chance of finding each other because the guests caught the doves before it can fly back together. :D

In placing this auspicious symbol, first, find the right back section of your bedroom or sleeping area. Place this symbol together with your photo and your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend in a photo frame. Place also a framed phrases or stanza about love or any other decor that symbolizes love and marriage like your wedding cake topper. Make sure everything is in order before placing the doves figurine and say this loudly, “These doves symbolizes a happy, peaceful and prosperous relationship with my husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend.”

A pair of ducks is said to be auspicious in love and marriage. Whenever I see ducks, I always see them in pairs and I think I’ve never seen a single duck swimming and eating in a pond, that is because ducks is always with its family or its partner. Well aside from the “Ugly Duckling”. :D Consequently, ducks are favorite symbols of good marriage, marital union and fidelity. Ducks symbols as home decors or toys made of ceramic, brass, wood, etc. Also, ducks symbolizes a caring and loving mother to its children and family. In Feng Shui, placing a pair of ducks in your home will enhance smooth relationship with your BF or husband or for the whole family. I think its also a good gift idea for newlyweds.
