With the introduction of “The Secret” and “The Power of Now” even more people have been exposed to the power of energy and positive thinking. What was once considered witchcraft and superstation has become a science we all live our daily lives by. In an earlier post I introduced you to the basic steps of Feng Shui and how to apply its principles around your home. Since it is Valentine’s, the day of love and romance, I thought I’d include some tips which can each be applied in 10 minutes or less to enhance your love life and attract it if it is missing. These tips are mainly to be applied to your bedroom and can be used by single or involved people. For clarification Ch’I is the “ flow of energy”, you will be reading this often in the below listed tips.

2- Clear passage ways through your bedroom. This enables you and ch’i to move easily through your bedroom and invites to flow smoothly into your life.

3- Dust the furniture in your bedroom. Remove dust and cobwebs, which signify disuse or neglect, to activate your love life. Vacuum or dust the lampshades in your bedroom. Dirty shades dim the amount of your light generated through your lamps so keep them clean to allow ch’i to brighten your love life. However, from here you can access many different furniture pieces  to choose from.

4- Clean under the bed. This cure helps clear away obstacles and problems especially unspoken grudges and resentments.Wash the windows in your bedroom. Clean windows allow ch’i to enter your life. Consider also installing one of the PestPro Thermal Systems to get rid form bedbugs.
