“Absence will teach you to truly love.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What is love? This is an incredibly strong energy that can be filled with each other when it comes to the love of a man and a woman. Let me, using the knowledge of a Feng Shui master, talk about love from the point of view of energies and balance. My personal experience of living with my husband has reached 24 years, we have two wonderful sons.
If love is compared to a wonderful flower, then like it it will grow and delight with unusual shapes and colors only with proper care.
When we buy a flower, we learn how to care for it so that it does not die: where to place it, how often to water it, what to fertilize it with, etc.
I think people should understand and study each other at the very beginning of a relationship. After all, initially, the relationships of different couples develop on the basis of certain values and those karmic tasks that are destined to go through. The question is how do you deal with it?
People make choices based on their experience and dominant values at the time of choice. For many, physiology “rules”, there is little awareness.
- There are couples in which relationships are based on joint creativity,
- someone on intellectual proximity,
- For some, the basis of the union is money,
- For some, the meaning of life together is children,
- some found a wise mentor in their spouse,
- some couple is passionate about sports and a healthy lifestyle,
- someone made a couple of celebrities,
- and someone didn’t even understand why they got married...
Of course, there are unique unions in which people dynamically develop in all areas of life, go through all the trials together, achieve success and create an original love story. Unfortunately, there are not many of them.
"Talking" heart
The heart as a symbol of love is found everywhere: from touching valentines and chocolates to balloons and decorative pillows. What’s also surprising is that kids, having barely learned to hold a pencil in their little hands, draw a heart to show their mother how much they love her. Have you ever thought about why it is the most common symbol of love, whether it is painted, sculpted from clay or sewn from scraps?
The fact is that from time immemorial, people considered the heart to be the repository of the soul. It’s not for nothing that the words “I love you with all my soul” are the same as “I love you with all my heart.” Love is a pure impulse of the soul, and the impulse of the soul is the dictates of the heart. The heart symbol is painted in all countries of the world. Among all the peoples of our planet, in all languages and dialects of the world, it means only one thing - love. Despite the uncomplicated and simple form, this symbol is the most understandable and popular designation of the strongest feeling on the planet.
For health and longevity
Lay a fluffy carpet on the floor. This is the most effective way to fill your home with health energy. It is best to give preference to natural materials (for example, sheep wool). This carpet can be placed in the living room, bedroom or children's room. How about hanging it on the wall?
Hang a landscape in a wooden frame on the wall. The energy of health in the room will increase if the painting depicts a lake, river, seashore or landscape with lush greenery.
A scarlet rose will talk about love
What flowers do young men in love give to the object of their adoration? That's right - roses. And certainly a juicy, scarlet color. After all, this shade of red symbolizes passion and ardent feelings. Why is the rose all over the world considered a symbol that speaks of fiery love?
Most likely, the scarlet rose began to represent recognition of sincere feelings thanks to the love story of Adonis and Venus from ancient mythology. According to legend, Adonis was so handsome that the goddess of love herself, Venus, fell madly in love with him. The young man reciprocated her feelings, but their happiness, alas, was short-lived... During the next hunt, an angry boar attacked Adonis and inflicted mortal wounds on him with razor-sharp fangs.
The young man died, and Venus mourned for a long time her beloved who had passed away untimely. And after some time, roses as red as blood grew and blossomed on Adonis’s grave. In this way, the young man from the other world showed his inconsolable beloved that love is stronger than death, and someday they will be together again. Since then, scarlet roses have become a symbol of ardent and eternal love.
Tell your fortune with a daisy
Who doesn’t know such a beautiful and delicate flower as chamomile? But she, like the red rose, is a symbol of family love and fidelity. It is not for nothing that girls in love, wanting to find out what is in their lover’s heart, tell fortunes on it, tearing off the petals one by one and saying “loves or loves not.” According to legend, chamomile blooms where a star has fallen. Romantic, isn't it?
And even in those days when flowers were given semantic meanings, daisies were given to unmarried girls, wishing them to quickly meet their soul mate and create a strong family with as many children as the number of petals of a flower.
Doves - white birds of love
In Ancient Rome, the patroness of couples in love, as well as the guardian of the hearth, was Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Legend has it that her favorite birds were white doves, which she gave to those people who had true love in their hearts.
Centuries have passed, Venus has remained in mythology, but the birds she adores, especially in pairs, still represent symbols of family and love. It is not without reason that newlyweds in all corners of the globe release a pair of doves into the sky after the wedding ceremony, and their snow-white wings raise all the tenderness of two lovers to the skies.
Swan song of fidelity
Swans are mysterious and beautiful birds that spend their entire lives together. The swan chooses his life partner once and for all, and will never exchange his wife for another representative of the swan flock. This couple is so united into one whole with each other that if one of the partners dies, the second either commits suicide, throwing a stone from a height and breaking on the ground, or lives out his life in splendid isolation.
It is because of this incredible devotion to each other that swans are a symbol of love and fidelity. Figurines of these birds are most often used to top a wedding cake, and a towel with embroidered swans is traditionally tied to the hands of newlyweds after marriage so that they walk through life side by side and remain faithful until the end of their days.
What items can you use to attract love into the bedroom?
Family relationships can be strengthened by placing the “right” objects in the bedroom. According to Feng Shui, these are considered objects that symbolize the element of Earth. These can be crystals or crystal balls. Nearby you can place objects that belong to the element of Fire. They can be candles or objects with a red tint. It is recommended to place a red lamp in the southwest. Both beautiful and useful.
You can prevent betrayal and save your marriage if you place an amethyst under the foot of the bed. According to Feng Shui, you can strengthen the love relationship between wife and husband with the help of figurines and paintings with images that symbolize the couple. These could be swans, statues of a loving couple, a dragon with a phoenix and many others.
According to Feng Shui, it is also important how a married couple sleeps - the wife should always lie on the right side of the husband.
Knowledge of Feng Shui will help not only find your love, but also save the marriage, make it stronger and bring notes of harmony into the relationship between the spouses.
A wedding ring is a symbol of the union of two hearts
To the accompaniment of gentle music, in the light of hundreds of lamps, the bride and groom put on each other's wedding rings to the applause of the guests... This beautiful tradition appeared many centuries ago, during the time of the pagan gods. The custom of wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger of the right hand is explained by the fact that the blood artery from this finger goes straight to the heart. And they love with all their hearts.
Why is the ring a symbol of love and eternal union between two spouses? Because it, like pure, sincere love, has neither end nor edge, like the Universe itself.
These are the symbols of happiness and love. Love each other, warm each other with the warmth of your heart. Remember that if you are loved and loved, and if you have a home where you are always welcome, then you are an incredibly rich and infinitely happy person. Appreciate and keep this in your heart - and joy will never leave your home.
A family is a social institution, an equal union of a man and a woman, a fortress in which we feel protected. But it still needs to be built, and the relationship in marriage needs to be made truly strong and happy. There are certain symbols of the institution of family, the meaning of which we will consider here.
Currently, in our country, the sign of pure love is chamomile; in addition, it also signifies fidelity, tenderness and simplicity. Its white color represents purity, and its yellow center represents home. The petals seem to unite into one whole - into a strong family. This flower has become a symbol of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, celebrated in Russia since 2008. It reflects a pure and great feeling. It is recommended to keep bouquets of daisies at home in the summer, and in other seasons it would be nice to hang an ikebana at home consisting of at least 5 chamomile flowers.
Open palms are also a symbol of family, implying the unity of relatives and the warmth they give each other.
The Slavs worshiped the forces of nature, and this was reflected in the making of amulets. Such symbols could be found everywhere: they were not only a means of decoration, but, according to legend, they provided certain protection and attracted good luck.
So, among these signs that our distant ancestors used, we can distinguish such as Solard, Ladinets, Colard, Bunny, Svadebnik. They provide protection to family members. Let's take a closer look at them.
Solard - marks prosperity, wealth. The Colard sign is a similar symbol, the difference is that the swastika of these signs is located differently: clockwise and counterclockwise. It helps strengthen the family unit and gives health to the offspring.
These two signs
are solar and fiery, they are aimed at maintaining well-being in the home, and patronize those who live in peace and harmony.
Ladinets symbolizes happiness, love and harmony in the family. It is a truly feminine amulet, for example, it provides protection from the evil eye. For married women, it becomes important to protect the family hearth, well-being and prosperity in the home. Often the pair of this amulet was the Kolyadnik, who was the personification of male power. In those days, the goddess Lada was considered the patroness of women, and the god Kolyada was considered the patroness of men. The combination of these two signs represents the unity of the two sexes, mutual understanding between them, the strengthening of marriage bonds, and, of course, true love.
The bunny personifies renewal and is considered a family talisman. During pregnancy, it was customary to wear a belt with this sign; it was believed that it endows mother and baby with light, sunny energy.
The wedding dresser is considered a strong talisman. It means the fusion of masculine and feminine principles, two genders into one whole. Since ancient times, the Slavs attached great importance to the wedding ceremony and the institution of marriage. This sign was usually given by parents to newlyweds after the wedding ceremony. It is intended exclusively for married couples. The image of this symbol is a combination of four rings of red and blue colors as a sign of infinity.
In Feng Shui practice, a figurine of mandarin ducks is considered a symbol of inseparability and devotion for a married couple. As a rule, it is placed in the southwestern part of the home. Also in this teaching, trees are signs of family. Among them are bamboo, cypress, pine, and plum. In addition, a dragon figurine can contribute to well-being. It brings good luck and protects all family members.
Framed photographs of household members are also a kind of talismans. They should be located in the eastern part of the home. Frames should be rectangular and made of wood. It is advisable to choose green or blue color.
Symbols of family and marriage: bast shoes, figurine of a house, linen, horseshoe, donut, chain. Onion is a talisman against tears. Bread means prosperity and harmony in the home. Sunflower seeds promise health for children. Corn - family cohesion, procreation, protection from disease, mutual understanding. Female and male figurine tied with strings - inextricability of bonds and love. The knot is a talisman against scandals.
A pair of doves is also a symbol of love and family well-being. It’s not for nothing that there is such a wedding tradition as releasing these birds into the sky.
Wedding rings are symbols of family, an unbreakable union between a man and a woman entering into marriage. By exchanging rings, spouses transfer part of their energy to each other. It is recommended not to take them off in the first months after the wedding and not let anyone try them on.
Veil - gives the bride protection from the evil eye. The custom of wearing it at a wedding came from Poland. It creates a kind of energy shield that reflects negativity directed towards the bride. At the same time, after the wedding, it is necessary to carefully store the veil; it will serve as a talisman that can protect the young family.
The bride's bouquet is another important attribute. According to legend, the girl who catches him should soon get married, this happens because she begins to emit special energy, and the wreath seems to come to her. It is better to have white flowers in the bouquet: they are a sign of purity and eternity.
A magical symbol for a family is a loaf. Only in order for it to become such, it must be baked correctly. The mother, relative or godmother of the bride, that close woman who has a good family life, should work on its production. It must be baked so that it has a neat shape, without cracks.
Family symbols are laid out on the loaf, which give protection to the young couple. Flowers, birds, viburnum, mint and rye are often used as them. The loaf is distributed to all guests, so that the energy of the two families merges together.
Towel - the bride must embroider it herself, in secret from everyone. She should be alone and in complete silence. First, the girl reads a prayer. When embroidering, her thoughts should be positive and filled with ideas about her future family life. Work must begin on Thursday. It is embroidered on a clean and whole canvas. The towel is a symbol of the life path that a family must go through together.
Parents bless the newlyweds on it, and no strangers should be at home. The towel has male and female halves, so it is important to stand on it correctly during the blessing. From this moment on, this attribute takes on the meaning of a talisman. The ceremony must certainly take place on Sunday.
Parental blessing is an important symbol of family happiness. The attributes for this are the icon of the Mother of God for the bride, and the icon of Christ the Savior for the groom.
- Beryl is a sign of family, loyalty and love.
- Aquamarine - protects the happiness of spouses.
- Sapphire is a stone of love, family and fidelity.
- Carnelian - preserves home peace, happiness and protects against evil spells.
Thus, we have determined that there are many different designations for the institution of marriage, and interpreted the meaning of the symbols of family and love. They have been used since ancient times, when they firmly believed that the mysterious forces of nature could help in building happiness. Be that as it may, we should not forget that the basis of true well-being in a family is sincere love, respect and loyalty.

Feng Shui and harmony in family relationships
We all passionately desire love and loving relationships—perhaps more than anything else! And we all strive to have a family filled with harmony and kind, sincere relationships. Why then do so many people live alone and in search of love? If what we desire most is love, why is there an unprecedented increase in divorce and broken families? Why do many people feel so lonely and isolated in crowded cities?
Contrary to popular belief, love is not just a result of fate or luck, and it doesn't "come and go", we create it? and each of us has the ability to create it. Each of us has the ability to love and be loved, each of us has the ability to create relationships full of love and joy. No matter how we live now - alone or under the burden of an unhappy, exhausted relationship - life can change, and it is we who can change it.
The necessary components of any endeavor, including changes in a love relationship, are the right time, the right place and the right people. If one of these components turns out to be inappropriate, achieving the goal will become a long and difficult task. If two of them are missing, any attempt to achieve a result may turn into an impossible desire.
Of course, we cannot always determine and choose the right time, and it is even more difficult to find people suitable for us - these are rather questions of our heavenly luck, but we can always find or create the place we need. And everyone can do this, you just need to put in some effort and be patient.
In any business and, of course, in love and creating a family, the environment is one of the most important factors. Therefore, it is so important to pay attention to the place where the future family lives or plans to live. The shape of a house, its size, configuration, floor layout, design (as well as color, decoration, furniture arrangement) naturally influence the people living in it. All this affects our health, emotional state, well-being and, of course, our relationships with people, including love.
What is it like, a house ideal for love? What type of home or dwelling is capable of nurturing family relationships? An ideal home should have an abundance of Qi - beneficial, positive energy. This will manifest itself in the correct location, integrity of form, smooth flow of energy and a feeling of warmth and comfort.
A good location is a harmonious and balanced home environment. According to classical Feng Shui concepts, it includes the Turtle, Phoenix, Dragon and Tiger. The turtle supports the house from behind. It could be a mountain, a small hill, a building, a rock, or a neighboring house. The Dragon and Tiger are accompanying structures on both sides of the house, a kind of guardian of your home. They should not be too large, should not protrude too much or be isolated or close together. Phoenix is an open space that should be in front of the house, it allows energy to accumulate and enter the house, it allows the residents of the house to make plans, feel space and new possibilities.
A solid form implies a pleasant appearance, not too strange or disturbing, regardless of the size and material of the building. The building should not be too fragmented, with strongly protruding parts, when viewed from a bird's eye view or from the side. The layout of residential floors is preferably regular in shape: rectangular or square.
The smooth flow of energy depends on the layout of the house, on how the living space is divided into separate rooms. The layout of the house should not be too open, as is the case with one large room, or too limited, cramped and confusing, as in a maze. Each room should be well connected to the general flow of energy of the house; it is good when there is a hall or corridor where all the entrance doors of the rooms go.
Feelings of warmth and coziness refer to those feelings of comfort and well-being that certain places evoke in us, sometimes for no apparent reason. Our bodies intuitively respond to the energy of the surrounding space. If it fits well with our own energy, we will feel comfortable, even if we cannot find the reason for these feelings. In general, if the three previous conditions (location, shape and flow of energy) have been met, you will most likely feel a certain warmth from that place.
Below is a short list of criteria that are important for love and family relationships.
— The shape of the house should be simple, without strongly protruding or missing parts. — There should not be too many or too few windows in the house. — The front door should be located close to the center, and not offset to the right or left. — There should be no conflict between the elements of Fire and Water in the kitchen. The sink and stove should not be placed next to each other or opposite each other. — There should be a solid wall behind the head of the bed, not a window or door. — The door to the bedroom should be visible from the bed. - When you go to bed, the front door to the house should be in front of you, not behind you (although this door usually cannot be seen from the bedroom). — There shouldn’t be a mirror in the bedroom that reflects your bed. - Even if you don’t have a partner at the moment, but you want to attract him into your life, your bed should not be against the wall, you need to provide approaches to it from both sides, especially if you already have a partner. — You shouldn’t arrange a marital bed on two beds pushed together. It is better to have one large bed with a shared mattress. — You shouldn’t put aquariums and fountains in the bedroom. This leads to misunderstandings and sleepless nights.
If all these requirements are met, you should not have much difficulty in finding love or in family relationships. The more requirements left unfulfilled, the greater the likelihood of difficulties arising. If your family relationships leave much to be desired, and you do not have deep knowledge of Feng Shui, you can seek advice from a specialist; there are probably negative influences in your environment that you do not see. You can also try to do some steps yourself. These recommendations do not apply to classical Feng Shui teachings. They are more based on positive thinking and the use of symbols and are general in nature, but have the advantage of being easy to use.
According to the “Eight Life Aspirations” school, in our home there are sectors that are responsible for family happiness and relationships between people. You can work with them and activate them.
The southwest is responsible for family happiness, well-being, and partnership. Southwest is the element of earth. If you are looking to find a partner or want to strengthen an existing relationship, use paired symbols made of ceramic or natural stone. Other paired symbols will also work. These could be two vases or a double sculpture of people (a man and a woman). A sculpture made of red or orange stone of two mandarin ducks is considered a very strong symbol.
The East is responsible for family, health, change.
East is the element of Wood. Plants of any kind are suitable here, except thorny ones. Since the East is about change, don’t try to intensify it too much if everything in your life suits you, when everything goes as usual. If your problems are ripe and cannot find a way out, then you can carefully attract changes: add water in the east, which helps the Tree grow. It could be a blue vase of flowers or an image of a calm river flowing in your direction or a quiet, clean forest lake. In this sector it is appropriate to place such symbols of longevity as a blooming or fruiting peach or the fruit itself.
You can significantly improve your Feng Shui and family well-being if you use the Ba Jai system. The Ba Jai system is an integral part of Feng Shui, which works with directions. Using this system, it is easy to orient a bed, a workplace, or a cooking fireplace. Energy coming from different directions of the world has different properties, and this is the basis of the Ba-Jai system.
Feng Shui within Ba Jai is divided into 2 groups - eastern and western. Favorable directions for people of “eastern orientation”: South, North, East, South East; and 3, NW, SW, NE - for “western”. According to the Ba-Jai school, all people of “Eastern” and “Western” orientation are divided into 9 groups. The number of this group is called the Gua number, and is the basis for working on this system.
How to calculate your Gua number?
The Gua number can be taken from the Chinese calendar, but if you don’t have it now, then use the formulas below.
1. For people born between 1900 and 1999. Take the sum of the last two digits of the year of birth. If you get a two-digit number, add its digits again. The Gua number for men is 10 minus the result. For women: 5 plus the result obtained. If you get a two-digit number, add its digits again.
2. For people born after 2000, the calculation is the same. But in the formula for men, 10 changes to 9, and in the formula for women, 5 changes to 6.
Note: if the final result is 5 (there is no such Gua number!), then for women we replace the number 5 with 8, and for men with 2.
An example of calculating the Gua number of a man born in 1961:
1961 6+1=7; 10-7=3 – Gua number of a man
An example of calculating the Gua number of a woman born in 1978:
1978 7+8=15; 1+5=6; 6+5=11; 1+1=2 – woman’s Gua number
Now, knowing your Gua number, you can determine your favorable and unfavorable directions using the table.
Eastern group | Western group | |||||||
3 | 4 | 1 | 9 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 7 | |
Directions | ||||||||
+4 | YU | WITH | SE | IN | Z | NE | SW | NW |

Direction values:
The most favorable direction for you is indicated by +4, which corresponds to Shen Qi, the type of Qi that brings you prosperity and success. This is the best direction for you when doing business, studying and other active activities. The +3 direction corresponds to Qi, which brings good health and harmony in relationships. This is the third most favorable direction. +2 is the second most favorable, it brings longevity and love and is considered romantic. The +1 direction corresponds to the type of Qi that brings peace and stability. This is the fourth most favorable direction. You will sleep well if you lie with your head in the +1 direction.
Direction -1 corresponds to the type of Qi, which is considered the less powerful of the harmful energies. If your bed or the entrance to your home is oriented in this direction, it may cause disagreements or unpleasant incidents. Qi direction -2 is considered the second most harmful. Such Qi can cause unwanted encounters, sexual frustration and relationship breakdowns. Harmful Qi of direction -3 can cause fires, accidents, loss of friends and family. Direction -4 corresponds to the most dangerous and harmful type of Qi. You should spend as little time as possible in this area of space or avoid it altogether. Qi -4 brings illness, misfortune and ruins one's career. If your home's doors are oriented in this direction or your bedroom is located in this area, it is detrimental to your health, well-being and relationships with loved ones.
Once you've determined the directions that work best for you, you can move the furniture in your home—your bed, your desk, your stove—so that they're oriented correctly. Where possible, increase the number of “pluses” and your life will begin to change and bring harmony, prosperity and new opportunities to your family!
Where is the love sector in the house?
According to Chinese philosophy, positive energy Qi, which brings harmony to the house and gives vitality to a person, accumulates in the southwestern part of the home. To attract love into the house, it is better to equip the bedroom in this direction.
Each room also has its own favorable zone. In the bedroom it is the southwest side. This is the sector of love, fidelity and family well-being. And for this you need:
- always keep the room tidy;
- do not clutter the room;
- Do not store things associated with bad memories, broken or damaged items in this place.
To activate the love sector, you need to properly decorate and furnish the room. The energy of the Earth attracts love into the house, so the element should be present in the bedroom. This could be, for example, flower pots with soil.
Fire, which lovers love to light during a romantic date, is a powerful element. He is in conflict with Water. If you place these two elements in the bedroom, then marital conflicts cannot be avoided. Therefore, there should not be many burning candles, and it is better to move the vase with water to another room.
We have selected interesting articles for you:
The main symbol and sector of love in the home and bedroom is the marital bed. To attract your soulmate, the bed must be a double bed. It should stand in the southern part of the room, with its head facing the window. The view from the bed should open to something beautiful and symbolic, so opposite you can hang a picture with peonies. There should not be bulky shelves or a large chandelier hanging above the bed, so as not to burden the relationship between lovers.
In the philosophy of Feng Shui, the color of the room is also important, and not just the arrangement of objects. To attract love, the bedroom should be decorated in soft pink, cream or peach tones. Individual elements can be made in a color that echoes the element Earth: brown, coffee, etc.
An unmarried girl should place a male object in her bedroom: a watch, a toy model of a car, a smoking pipe, etc. A man who wants to have a soul mate should make the decor a little more feminine by adding girlish accessories: pillows, boxes, a comb, a mirror, etc.
To banish loneliness, you need to minimize the number of single items. Add a second chair by the table, a pillow on the bed, a picture on the wall, etc. It is better to remove all photographs that show one person, even your own portraits.
How does the front door affect relationships?
The importance of the front door in Feng Shui is high. It is through the door that the life force Qi enters the house. The door should be positioned to attract this energy. Qi energy tends to constantly accumulate near the entrance to the house, and people who enter or exit let it into the house.
According to Feng Shui, in order for there to be harmony in the family and a strong marriage, the door should be placed in three directions:
- In the southeast. Such placement will not only contribute to the material well-being of the family, but will also help maintain well-being, love and peace in the relationship between spouses.
- In the southwest. This location of the front door will have a beneficial effect on the relationship between wife and husband; their love will be stronger and more harmonious. In Feng Shui, they note that this direction is more suitable for the feminine gender and this can make a woman more powerful in the family. To prevent this from happening, and to ensure harmony in love relationships, it is necessary to add objects associated with the symbol of the tree and its color to the interior of the room.
- In a western direction. Placing the door in the west will contribute to the development of romantic relationships according to Feng Shui. To improve them and stability, you can add stone figurines and crystals that symbolize the elements of the Earth.
You can qualitatively influence the strength of Qi. To do this, you need to choose a door by color or shape that matches the basic elements of Feng Shui.
Don't be upset if the door is facing in a completely different direction. In this case, you can attract Qi energy if the door is correctly decorated according to Feng Shui, and in the house itself try to direct this energy in a direction favorable for family relationships.
Symbols for attracting love into your life
Equipping your living space is important, but there are also talismans that help you achieve what you want. If you place love symbols in your home according to Feng Shui, they will have a positive impact on the presence of your loved one in the home.
Mandarin ducks
The most popular and recognizable symbol of love and fidelity, marital happiness and bliss are mandarin ducks. They got their name from their bright plumage. The aristocracy of Ancient China, who were called tangerines, sported these colors. Ducks were also held in high esteem by the Chinese emperors.
A pair of mandarin ducks is placed in the couple's bedroom. There must be two ducks, because in nature they do not live alone. Chinese culture quickly adopted them as a symbol of a blessed and happy union. Instead of figures, you can use images of ducks. If there is only one individual in the picture, you need to hang two pictures to form a pair.
The Chinese believe that quartz crystals release positive energy to those who wear them or place them in their home. Rose quartz crystal harmonizes with the energy of the heart chakra, which is why the stone is often cut into the shape of a heart.
symbol of marriage, although it also helps young people who are looking for a soul mate. Even a stone can awaken feelings. In single people, quartz awakens self-love. And in couples, the light of the crystal helps to reveal the feelings of the partners.
Double luck sign
The double luck sign is a special hieroglyph. An image or figurine of a hieroglyph is hung for good luck, happiness and prosperity in the home. To attract your soulmate to your home, you need to choose the south side. The double luck hieroglyph can be depicted on wallpaper, curtains, embroidered on decorative pillows, etc. You can also carry it on your clothes or in your purse.
In China, it is customary to give a sign of double luck to newlyweds. It is cut out of bright red paper (a color that represents passionate feelings) and decorated with paintings of flowers and birds. Such a talisman brings love and prosperity to the family. Young couples in the first years of marriage hang a sign directly above their bed.
Mystic knot
The mystical knot is a sign woven in a special way in the form of a cross with rounded ends. The number 8 is hidden in the sign, which is symbolic for China. The mystical knot is woven from red thread; other colors can be woven as desired.
At home, the mystical knot is hung in the bedroom above the bed. This is a symbol of eternal love. It will help not only attract love, but also have children. In the room, choose the southwest corner for the location of the sign.
Peonies – live and in the picture
A perennial symbol of peace, love and beauty. The ancient Chinese believed that peony was a kind of love potion. Chinese women wore a flower in their hair or pinned it to their clothes. Couples in love believed that the presence of paintings with peonies in the house attracts happiness and preserves the feeling.
The meaning of this symbol has not changed. According to Feng Shui, red peonies symbolize passion, and pink peonies symbolize tenderness and romance. An unmarried girl should place flowers in her bedroom opposite the door to attract love into the room. After marriage, flowers should be moved to the living room.
According to Feng Shui, it is better not to keep living bouquets in the bedroom, as they require water, and it attracts bad energy to this room. It is worth hanging a picture with bright flowers. There should be an odd number of peonies in the picture.
Crystals
Crystals are powerful symbols of the Earth. They attract love and prosperity to the home. However, before placing crystals in the house, they need to be removed from negative energy, “cleaned” of bad aura, by keeping them in sea water for several days. If there is no sea water, then you can simply salt the tap water. Place love symbols in the south-eastern part of the bedroom.
What should the bed be like and where should it be placed?
Of course, when it comes to love and family relationships, special attention should be paid to the bedroom and its Feng Shui design. According to Feng Shui, the location of this room in the southwest of the house is considered ideal. This arrangement will help to attract fidelity, love, care for the family into the house and make the marriage strong.
Don't be upset if the bedroom is located in a different place. In this case, you can attract improvements and success in love with the help of Feng Shui tools and knowledge.
According to Feng Shui, a bedroom should meet the following recommendations:
- No technology within the bedroom. In this room, a person takes a break from a hard and emotional day, and therefore it is important that he receives a new breath of positive energy, and not vice versa. When it is not possible to remove equipment from the room, you can try to separate it from the bed with a partition and divide the room into sections.
- Of course, as in any part of the house, especially the bedroom, it should be perfectly clean. This applies to everything: dust on furniture, on the floor, a neatly made bed, folded clothes, clean windows.
- It is forbidden to place a bouquet of flowers (flowers will contribute to frequent quarrels and disagreements between wife and husband, which will ultimately destroy the marriage).
- It is not recommended to place anything related to the water element in the bedroom. Water will take family happiness away, and the marriage may fall apart.
- There should be no photographs of relatives, children, family or wedding photos in the bedroom. Although there is an alternative opinion. According to Feng Shui, photographs of children are believed to help in the fight against infertility.
- The spouses' bed should have the correct location based on the Gua number. To find it out, you need to add the last two digits of the year of birth, and the resulting number from 1-9 will correspond to the direction in which the bed is placed in the room (for example, number 1 corresponds to the south side, and number 9 corresponds to the north).
There are also Feng Shui recommendations for the bed itself:
- It should stand in such a way that it can be approached from both the right and left, and should not rest against the wall on one side. According to Feng Shui, it is believed that the one who sleeps near the wall will have fewer rights (there will be no equality in the family, which means the marriage will not be harmonious).
- The bed should not be wide. There should always be a close distance between partners, which will promote romantic relationships and physical intimacy. A small bed is best.
- The bed and mattress on it should be solid, and not consist of two parts or be separated by a strip. According to Feng Shui, this will contribute to a split in family relationships. It is forbidden to sleep on inflatable water mattresses, and, in general, it is better not to place them in the bedroom, since they symbolize water.
- When choosing bed linen, you need to find a compromise between the preferences of a man or a woman. It is better to choose the color and tailoring that both will like.
- The family bed should not be reflected on mirror surfaces. According to Feng Shui, it is believed that a third force will interfere in family relationships.
- The bed should not be placed opposite the door.
- Sharp corners of furniture should not be directed towards the bed.
- The bed should not be located near the wall adjacent to the toilet (family relationships, in the literal sense, will be flushed down the toilet).
