The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui is a traditional geomancy practice that is used to harmonise the energy within a space. Most often adapted to enhance energy flow, good luck, communication and ambience in communal areas like the living room, Feng Shui can also work wonders on boosting a sex life that is lacklustre. We’ve put together our 5 Feng Shui Tips To Boost Passion In Your Sex Life
Whether you’re already romantically partnered, looking for the One on the You’ve Pulled mobile dating platform, or happy hooking up for casual encounters, incorporating some Feng Shui interior design tricks in the bedroom will elevate lust, passion and intimacy in your love life.
Minimise Clutter
Before you can experiment with colour, aroma and ornamental decoration, it’s absolutely essential to clear away all of the clutter in your bedroom. Keeping negative energy attracting clutter to a minimum will boost the flow of positive chi throughout your space.
Remove any items that you associate with a broken heart or past relationships. Don’t forget to check under the bed for hidden clutter that keeps romance stagnant. Aim to create a clean and serene environment for passionate lovemaking.
Once your bedroom is clutter-free, position your bed in the centre of the room. Introduce the five elements – wood (bed frame), fire (lit scented candles), earth (plants), metal (ornaments) and water (a beautiful floral vase display) – to enhance harmony and balance.
Consider Colour
Colour plays an important part in promoting passion and love. Whilst it may be tempting to ramp up lust by decorating your bedroom with fiery red walls and soft furnishings to match, it’s best to limit vibrant hot shades for use as accent colour.
Associated with the heart chakra, delicate pink or pale green shades create a relaxing, supportive and nurturing environment that’s perfect for getting a good night’s sleep, while also boosting romance and amour. Alternatively, keep the walls neutral and add pops of colour via bedding, cushions, curtains, framed prints, and a round rug that grounds the entire space.
Pair Up
To harmonise your space, pair up objects in symmetrical arrangements. Position matching tables at opposite sides of the bed and dress with complementing lamps, plus candles and ornaments in twos.
If you’re in a relationship, display a framed photograph of you and your lover together on your dressing table, on a shelf or the top of a chest or drawers. Boost your chances of ending your single days, by symmetrically decorating the walls of your bedroom with eye-catching abstract art or arty images of couples.
Use Enticing Aroma
Before creating a cozy atmosphere, it’s a good idea to smudge the bedroom with sage to clear away any remnants of negative energy.
To complement your bedroom’s atmospheric soft lighting, use scented candles and/or an oil burner or diffuser to fill the space with enticing aroma. Sensuous aphrodisiac scents will invigorate the libido and enhance intimacy
Evoke intense feelings of calm, harmony and bliss with intoxicating and love boosting essential oils like ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine, rosewood, neroli and geranium. Citrus essences, like orange and bergamot are excellent for creating an uplifting energy boost. While heady sandalwood and lavender both promote a more restful state. You can also blend the gorgeously fragranced essential oils with natural carrier base oil (such as sweet almond or grapeseed) for erotic massage purposes.
Celebrate Love
Erecting a sacred altar to honour Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and sexual love, is an inspired way to boost passion in your sex life and to elevate your emotional wellbeing. You can use a small side table, the top of a chest of drawers, or shelf space in the far right corner of your bedroom, to create a love shrine.
In keeping with authentic Feng Shui style, decorate the love altar with a luxurious pink or red fabric cover, and items that symbolise love and unity –a pair of candles, two pieces of healing rose quartz crystal, a wooden and metal sculpture etc.
Visit the altar daily to give thanks for your passionate partnership, regardless of whether or not you’ve already found your match. Meditate for a few minutes every day, and visualise you and your soul mate deep in love and enjoying a happy life together. You’ll soon attract the romantic love and passionate sex life that’s perfectly aligned with your positive high vibe.
