Love. How to keep, attract, and enhance it are all areas that can be addressed in a Feng Shui Consult. As you may know, nine energy quas or regions are present on the Bagua map.
Today we will be most focused on “Kun,” the area for love, partnership, romance, and relationships. This area is the far back right-hand corner of your home relative to the house’s architecturally designed main front door on both the first and second floors. Its element is earth, with red and white or pink colors.
This energic gua is also present on your property relative to the driveway, which would be the far back right corner, and each room is based on the mouth of chi or entry door into that room.
If a room has two doors on separate walls, the map will rotate based on what door you use most often. So, in summary, there is a romance gua in your Master bedroom (the most powerful), in each room, and on your property.
Standing at the entry door into your bedroom, the far back right corner is your romance area.
It is here that you can make some precise adjustments.
But let’s review some basic concepts first. The bed should be in the commanding position of the room. This means you can see the door while in bed but are not in direct line with it. The featured photo has many good Feng Shui elements to consider. Your bed is one of the three most significant areas. Why is this bed placement correct? First, we can’t see, but let’s assume it is in the commanding position. What is stellar Feng Shui about this bed?
It has a solidly attached headboard that is symbolic of relationship stability.
It has two equal size nightstands, which symbolize equality in a relationship. Many single people will only have one. And yes, size matters; in a partnership or marriage, if they are not of equal size, whoever sleeps on the side with the more oversized nightstand has more power in the relationship.
The wall behind the headboard has nothing behind it, i.e., a stove, water flow, or any energetic disturbances.
There are no visible mirrors, which are not recommended in bedrooms, and nothing above the bed, such as a ceiling fan. There are no visible electronics which are also not recommended since the bedroom is a “Yin” space.
It appears to be a queen-sized bed with a solid foundation, that sits off the floor. This is important for energy flow and health. King-sized beds with two twins as a foundation need to be corrected. They represent a splint in the foundation of the partnership and also create sleep disturbances. This can be done energetically or structurally.
Cons:
The bench at the foot of the bed. While this is currently a popular design concept, it is symbolic of being kept at home more often than you would like and inhibiting travel.
Many people ask about bedroom color. This is a personal choice, but I was taught to avoid one color; Peach. It creates what is called “peach blossom chi” and often indicates infidelity.
Other signs of potential infidelity are an exit door in the home's far back-right corner.
A master bedroom bath combination in the Kun area of the home is often associated with divorce or marital problems. These can be corrected by a Feng Shui Master.
It can be hard to believe that we can tell you about your life by looking at your floor plan, but we can. We do not have to be in the home; while desirable, we can consult off a to-scale floor plan. Feng Shui has been outlawed in China because they recognize its power. People there often pay $10,000 or more to get a private consult.
I once taught a class at a local Metaphysical Center and had everyone bring their floor plan. They had to agree that this was a safe space and that nothing would be shared outside of class. I used each floor plan to demonstrate the validity of the practice and offer corrections.
I had one client in class who had questions about love. She had divorced due to infidelity. I looked at her floor plan, and it was right here; she had an exit door in partnership. But what was most stunning to everyone was that she had moved after the divorce and bought a new house; the old house did have an exit door in Kun. This was her new house; she had a contractor come in and knock out the wall and create yet another exit door in partnership that was not there when she bought the house! Ok, so now we need to look for more profound issues.
Back to enhancements. The most classic is an orchid in the relationship area of your master bedroom, pink or red and white. You can also put a table and two chairs, pairs of things that mate for life, such as swans or cranes. Artwork that represents love and pairs. You can enhance every room in your home in this gua with pairs. Remove all family photos from the bedroom; we don’t want all those people in there.
You can put a bench for two in your yard, but not one with a divider. You can add plants that are red, white, and pink. You can create a palate with garden cranes, flowers, and a bench. You can add a bird feeder to bring joy and energy to that area. You can uplight the space with solar lights that swivel and are pointed to the home’s roofline.
All corrections should be “spiritually empowered by prayer.” Corrections are 50% effective when done alone but 100% effective when empowered.
Feng Shui is beautiful, fun, spiritual, and practical. The noted corrections are common. For more complicated issues, it is best to hire a consultant.
Move that energy, and enjoy!
