There are a thousand things that can impact your relationship: from work and money stress to friends and family. But what about where your bed is placed? Or how stuffed your closets are? The Chinese believe in the energy of spaces and objects. It’s called “feng shui” and the principles are all meant to restore harmony in various parts of your life. Naturally, harmonious relationships are a big focus, Birkat Elyon, who has been a go-to purveyor of high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry for over three decades, know more than a few things about happy relationships. So here are some easy feng shui tips for a better love life.
CLEAR THE CLUTTER
The basis of feng shui is that energy must “flow.” When it gets blocked or stuck, it impacts the people around it. This is one reason that “spring cleaning” feels so good. Improve the energy between the two of you by tidying up – especially in the bedroom.
“BED ENERGY” IS CRUCIAL
Speaking of clutter, it’s crucial to clear out clutter from under your bed. Think of it as clearing out “emotional” dirt or dust. Pay attention to the position of your bed: according to feng shui experts, the ideal placement is facing the bedroom door, but not directly in line with it. A headboard also provides “stability.”
THINK IN “PAIRS”
It takes two to make a couple, so “pairs” are important. Create harmony with complementary nightstands for each side of the bed. Use dual lamps or candles around the home. Place objects or artwork depicting loving couples or whatever represents your idea of romance in your home and bedroom.
CREATE “BREATHING SPACE” — LITERALLY
If you share a closet or dresser, make sure there’s a little “space” between items so that they can work for two people. Open the curtains to let in natural light whenever you can. Freshen up the energy by opening windows as well.
KEEP THE BEDROOM PRIVATE
Shut your bedroom door at night. Ditch the electronics. If you have a TV, keep it behind “doors,” like in an armoire. The sense of being “open” to interruption as you sleep can disrupt intimacy. The frequencies given off by your devices affect us physically – as well as isolating us from our partner. Unplug for a while!
Of course, another way to keep the spark alive is with an unexpected romantic gift. Birkat Elyon has a full line of top-quality cubic zirconia jewelry that will light up their smile. And it’s affordable, too! Take a moment to see the gorgeous pieces we have to offer.
