Improve Your Sex Life with Feng Shui
Improve Your Sex Life with Feng Shui
Can sexual energy be enhanced by Feng Shui? Believe me, Feng Shui is all about energy!
I’ve written previous posts on how to attract love with Feng Shui. Now, let’s make things a little more steamy!
Sex can be beautiful and full of love. It can also heal and add passion to a relationship. In fact, many psychologists feel that regular, healthy sexual encounters is the backbone of many loving relationships.
Whether you are single or are looking to liven things up after several years of marriage, Feng Shui can help improve your sex life. Follow these tips to get the juices flowing.
Objects of Passion
In the Love Corner of your home and especially in the Love Corner of your bedroom, add a couple symbols that represent healthy and passionate sex for you.
It could be the Kama Sutra, naughty pictures hidden in a drawer or even figurines of Venus and Cupid.
Whatever they are, choose symbols that can independently get your sexual energy up.
Colors of Passion
Pink and white are great for adding love and passion. But, red, in particular, attracts energy, especially sexual energy.
Go ahead, change out the sheets with something silky and red.
Clarify your Passion
If sex is your only intention, ensure you appropriately communicate that to the Universe and your partner.
To keep love at bay for the time-being, avoid some of the other symbolism and colors that I would normally suggest for attracting love.
And please, openly communicate with your partner that sex, not love, is all that can be expected of the relationship.
Prepare for Passion
Get your bedroom ready because things are about to get steamy. Make sure the room’s setting is romantic and private.
Start by ensuring that your curtains can cover up the windows.
Add some warmth to the room and make sure that the bedding is comfortable.
Use aromatic candles or jasmine essential oil and don’t forget to queue up some Marvin Gaye songs!
What to Avoid
Especially if you are looking to add sexual energy to a loving relationship, there are several things that you want to avoid.
First, avoid family pictures in your bedroom. It is a place for you and your partner – not your children or parents.
Keep the work and workout routines out of the bedroom, as they can frequently interfere with passion.
Get rid of any cold, sad or lonely imagery.
That seductive yet sad-looking picture of the woman lying on the couch? Nope. In fact, just toss it. There is no place for that in your home if you’ve read this far.
While you’re at it, no dead flowers or desolate winter landscapes… anywhere.
Your bedroom is also not a place for any single objects (unless you want to remain single).
Have objects in pairs to represent a relationship. I’m speaking of two pillows, two bedside tables, two lamps, etc.
As with anything Feng Shui, eliminate the clutter.
If you have a fireplace in your bedroom, add a mirror or a painting of a calm water scene on top. Making the best of a situation, the fire and water together will add a little steaminess to your relationship. Otherwise, avoid mirrors in the room.
Next Steps
The most important step is to have fun. Don’t get too serious about this. All that will do is add stress. Who knows… you may even find love along the way (if that’s what you desire).
As with anything in Feng Shui, don’t focus too much on one area of the Bagua without adding some balance to the other areas. Start by countering with the Knowledge Area.
Learn more about Feng Shui to make sure you are attracting the right kind of energy and that it flows harmoniously through your home.
If the above advice doesn’t work for you, there may be other Feng Shui factors involved with your particular house, such as stagnant energy or no energy coming from the street. A consultation or space clearing may be required. Take the necessary steps because you deserve to live a life of harmony and balance.

Feng Shui Cul-de-Sac Cures
It is well-known that the Feng Shui for a cul-de-sac home is bad. Though I typically advise against living in such a home, I have figured out how to make lemonade out of lemons (or good Feng Shui out of bad, in this case).
In years past, home builders could charge a premium for homes at the end of cul-de-sacs. With more buyers aware of Feng Shui, that is simply no longer the case.
Unaware buyers may covet a home on a cul-de-sac because it provides a larger lot and reduced drive-through traffic so that children can play. Unfortunately, many of those who have lived in a cul-de-sac home have paid the price in more ways than one.
Basic Feng Shui Advice
When possible, avoid cul-de-sac homes. It’s really that simple.
When I work with home builders, I advise against site plans that include cul-de-sacs, especially in Feng Shui aware areas, because they typically have to reduce their price to sell the homes. Moreover, city planners avoid them because they promote a reliance on cars, as public transportation is more difficult to service these areas.
If you are looking at purchasing a home on a cul-de-sac, I would advise against it because the overwhelming energy you will experience is chaotic and stale.
But what if you already own and live in a cul-de-sac home?
Most of my clients living in cul-de-sac homes came to me experiencing problems making and keeping money and have had poor health. Fortunately, I solved their problems, just as I will for you.
Own a Cul-de-Sac Home? Your Options
If you already live in a home on a cul-de-sac, you have essentially two Feng Shui options:
1. Sell the home, likely to someone who is not aware of Feng Shui.
2. Harness and transform the Feng Shui energy flowing to your home such that it can nourish you rather than deplete you. This isn’t the easy option, but it is sometimes the only option given individual situations.
I am going to focus on the second option so that we can work on some cures to your cul-de-sac Feng Shui.
Negative Chi of Cul-de-Sacs
First, let’s talk about why cul-de-sac homes have such bad Feng Shui.
While any home on a cul-de-sac is bad Feng Shui, the homes in the red area get the fastest moving negative Chi.
Think of a street like a river, where water flows down from a source. Chi (or Qi) is water’s equivalent, flowing down a street from its source toward your cul-de-sac. Chi is Feng Shui energy. Just like water, it can be clean and refreshing or dirty and unhealthy.
Water nourishes while it also erodes. It provides life-giving energy to plants while also slowly eating away at the banks of the river. Chi works in much the same way, as it provides life-giving energy to you in your home, it also erodes your Bagua over time.
As water flows to a dam, it churns chaotically and over time gets stale. Sediment collects, creating mud that grows like a cancer. So, too, does Chi as it flows to a cul-de-sac. While the energy is worst at the home at the end of the cul-de-sac, all of the surrounding homes must share dirty, chaotic and stale energy that erodes at their Baguas over time.
Energy that makes its way into your cul-de-sac home is not calm, refreshing energy that you need to kickstart the creative cycle of your Bagua. Instead, it is fast, chaotic, used up energy that needs to be slowed, regulated and refreshed.
Energy Transformation
If you intend to live in a home at a cul-de-sac (or a home on a T-intersection or dead end), improve its incoming Feng Shui energy much as you would regulate and filter dam water for drinking.
Start by slowing the energy coming at your home. Do this by utilizing landscaping effects such as tall shrubs, walls, fences or even sturdy posts near your front curb (this also helps prevent unsuspecting car drivers from ending up in your living room).
Next, add some water and wind features between the tall curbside landscaping and the doorway. Try utilizing a pond, pool, birdbath, or water fountain. Any calm water feature will do. You could also add a windmill or other moving garden elements. Adding these elements filters and refreshes your incoming Chi.
You can use Feng Shui to protect your home from negative energy by adding strong posts and refresh the energy with a water feature.
Now, create a winding pathway from the cul-de-sac to your front door that navigates its way through the landscaping effects at the curb and through your water or wind features to your doorway. This re-creates the calm flowing river effect, with your new filtration system working to slow and refresh the Chi.
Ensure that your doorway and the front of your home is well-lit. Depending on your home, you may want to paint your door a particular color. These steps attract positive Feng Shui energy.
As I suggest with T-intersection homes, try using a convex Bagua mirror at your doorway to bounce away any negative energy that sneaks through. It doesn’t need to be visible from outside.
Place your convex Bagua mirror above your door on the interior wall facing toward the street. Yes, you won’t actually see the mirror.
Lastly, make sure you have followed all of the steps to Feng Shui the inside of your home according to the Bagua. Doing so will ensure that your career, relationships, wealth, love, health and all other areas of importance are well-nourished by your newly-refreshed Chi.
Next Steps
You deserve to live a life of abundant wealth and health. Make sure that your home is providing for you.

How to Position Your Bed for Good Feng Shui
Do you want some restful sleep? Are you looking to start each day recharged and full of energy? Then take some steps to make that happen!
Bedroom arrangement is essential in Feng Shui. Much about your energy is determined by your bedroom and the position of your bed.
While you sleep, you recharge. The exact position of your bed can help charge you in positive, healing and loving ways or it can leave you feeling restless and drained. The choice is yours.
The points I make here are more than just Feng Shui cures, they are a blueprint for how you should arrange your bedroom.
Keep an Open Mind
The Feng Shui rules of the bed are simple. Being able to adhere to those rules, however, can sometimes get a little tricky. The location of your bedroom and layout of your room can sometimes put you in a bind.
The first step here is to have an open mind. Just because you have had your bed a certain way does not mean it should continue to be that way. Do you want excellent sleep and do you want to be recharged with positive energy every night? Then, you may need to make some serious and creative changes.
Bed Position
Next, we need to try to get your bed in the ideal Feng Shui position. Keep these points in mind:
The best position for a bed is one where you can see the door from the bed, but you are not in direct line with the door (any door, if possible — even closets or bathrooms). Energy enters through doors. Energy could be in the form of Chi, light, radio waves, etc. Redirecting and/or eliminating any of these types of energy can help you get better sleep.
Have the head of your bed against a solid wall (no windows or doors on the same wall).
As with doors, try not to place your bed in line with a window.
Keep energy balanced around your bed. If you have a nightstand on one side, have an identical one on the other side. Do not place a side of your bed against a wall, such as in a corner of the room.
Bedroom Items
Remove mirrors that may be pointing at your bed. Mirrors produce too much energy for restful sleep and are often the cause of many types of body aches or health issues.
Avoid poison arrows, like the corners of walls or furniture, from pointing at you while you sleep. If otherwise unavoidable, block them with decor or furniture.
Avoid ceiling fans, as they create a cutting energy. Do you notice that you also wake up with dry sinuses and a headache?
Minimize exciting imagery and objects in your room. This is not the place to add a motivational poster with people skydiving, for instance.
If possible, avoid all electronics in the bedroom, including TVs, cellphones, alarm clocks, etc. I can’t stress this point enough. If you must have something electronic in the room, try only using battery-powered devices and keep them as far as possible from the bed. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may be very unsafe and are known to prevent restful sleep. I would even go so far as to recommend cutting off electricity to outlet wiring in the bedroom.
Now, add some things to your bedroom that will help you relax. Items that help with aromatherapy or a white noise machine can be incredibly helpful. Your choice of calming colors also helps immensely.
Love Heals
Don’t forget that your bedroom also represents love.
Keep things in pairs and use symbolism to represent yourself being in a loving relationship, even if you are single. Make room for your partner or future partner.
When you get a chance, spend some time learning about the Feng Shui Love Corner, as taking some of the steps mentioned will help ground you, resulting in better sleep.
Next Steps
With some bedrooms, the above requirements will seem like they are next to impossible to achieve. Get creative when you Feng Shui.
For instance, if you have a closet door which is the only thing keeping you from your ideal bedroom setup, keep it closed when you sleep and cover it with a drape or a Japanese folding screen.
Still stuck? Sleep on it. Before bed, enhance your Creative Area and have a positive mindset that you will determine creative ways to make your sleeping arrangement more ideal.
This is one of those things that I think is essential in Feng Shui. Restful and recharging sleep can help you make the most of your life. Make it happen!
Remember to always think twice before you place an object in your home or office. Make sure it won’t conflict with your harmony and balance. Read up on the Feng Shui Bagua to make sure you have everything in order.

Feng Shui in Home Design
Ensure that you are using the appropriate element, color, pattern or material for every aspect of your home design.
The five elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal in their creative cycle.
Feng Shui Elements
In terms of Feng Shui, the element is the central theme to many of the areas of the Bagua.
Thus, make sure that you utilize wood or something representing wood in the Family Area and earth in the Health Area.
Feng Shui Colors
The choice of colors is quite important because they often represent the elements and therefore the various areas of the Bagua. For instance, red represents fire and is ideal in the Fame & Reputation Area. Purple is the color of royalty and is best found in the Wealth & Prosperity Corner.
Feng Shui Patterns
Patterns can also represent elemental objects. As an example, a pattern of wavy or undulating lines would best represent water and should be placed in the Career Area. Patterns with circular shapes represent metal and thus the Creativity & Children Area.
Feel free to take things quite literal when it comes to patterns. For instance, you could use a throw pillow with dollar signs in your Wealth & Prosperity Corner, a pattern with sailboats in your Travel Corner, hearts would go with your Love & Relationships Corner, etc.
Feng Shui Materials
Of course, many materials are exactly the same as the elements. A wooden hutch, for instance, would be best placed in the Family Area while metal furniture is best placed in the Children & Creativity Area.
Some materials can be a bit more tricky, but think of where they come from. Fabric from cotton or linen is made from the earth and would be ideal in the Health Area, for instance.
Next Steps
Research and use some creative thinking when doing interior design. The use of colors, patterns and materials can represent various elements that correlate directly with various areas of the Bagua.
Remember to always think twice before you place an object in your home or office. Make sure it won’t conflict with your harmony and balance.

What will my year be like? What is my fortune for 2015? Will I find love, wealth and a better job in 2015?
2015 is the Year of the Wooden Sheep or Goat in the Chinese Zodiac, or Lunar Calendar. The sheep is seen as a symbol of peace, balance, harmony and calmness. 2015 is also an “8” year in Feng Shui, which means there’s a lot of wealth to be made this year for most in both their personal and professional lives.
The Chinese New Year doesn’t officially begin until February 19th this year, but that shouldn’t keep us from getting prepared right now!
2015, like any other year, will not be the same for everyone. Just look at your friends and family. Some had a great 2014, while it may have been awful for others. We need to break it down by when you were born – the more precise, the more descriptive the fortune.

- Year of the Rat: You should watch out for anything you will regret or be blamed for. Ensure you are doing everything right in your Fame & Reputation Area.
- Year of the Ox: You should be cautious of any confrontations. The Year of the Sheep and Year of the Ox naturally have jealous energy towards each other, so this year may seem a little confrontational to you. Boost your Helpful People Corner.
- Year of the Tiger: You should really keep a close eye on your health and finances. Make sure you don’t have any plumbing leaks and check on your Health Area and Prosperity Corner.
- Year of the Rabbit: This is a great year for you! It is the perfect time to make job changes and begin business ventures you have always dreamed of.

You need to keep a close eye on your finances so they don’t get out of control. Make sure that your Helpful People & Travel Area of your house is in good order. Also make sure you quickly resolve any plumbing leaks.
- Year of the Horse: You can make your dreams come true this year, especially in love and in your career. You will get the recognition you deserve. Make sure that your Fame & Reputation Area is in good order. It wouldn’t hurt to look at your Love Corner and Career Area, while you’re at it.
- Year of the Sheep: This is your year, but you should keep a close watch on your health. Use your mind more than being physically active to solve problems. Boost that Health Area of your home.
- Year of the Monkey: You should have positive outcome in nearly all aspects in life: career promotions, love and stable finances. To really get the most out of your year, make sure everything is in order in your Career Area, Love Corner, and Money Area.
- Year of the Rooster: You need to keep singular focus on the goal you want to reach. You can get a bit distracted this year with a lot of changes coming your way. Just remember to keep focus on what you really want. Use the appropriate area of the Feng Shui Bagua to maximize your goal.
- Year of the Dog: You will be driven by your family’s and loved ones’ happiness more than your career. Take a look at your Family Area for some tips on how to maximize your efforts.
- Year of the Pig: You will have a happy and stable year. Go ahead with your business or life plans you have been planning, but make sure to double-check your health. Ground yourself by making improvements to your Career Area and Health Area first. Before making any significant moves, find out which months are best for you with a Birth Date Numerology Analysis.

How to Feng Shui Your Desk
Last week, I told you that within days of upgrading my desk, a reporter I didn’t previously know asked to highlight it in an upcoming article in Coast Magazine.
Why Feng Shui Your Desk?
Your desk is the domain of your career, which is the gateway to your life path.
Proper Feng Shui should help energy called Chi (or “Qi”) power up your desk as you would have it energize your home. This energy can amplify your business success, as well as improve various aspects of your life.
Desk Feng Shui
The secret to adding Feng Shui to your desk is all in the Bagua. The Bagua is the center of the Black Hat Feng Shui universe and understanding it is crucial to making sure your desk serves your career goals and life path.
Simply layout your desk as if a Bagua were drawn on top, with the Career Area against the side where your chair sits. If it helps, you can think of your desk broken up like a tic-tac-toe board.
This means that as you sit at your chair, your left hand will touch the Knowledge, Family, and Prosperity/Wealth areas as you reach across your desk.
Likewise, your right hand will touch the Helpful People/Travel, Creativity/Children, and Love areas as it reaches across your desk.
The middle of your desk will be your Health Area and across your desk directly in front of you should be the Reputation/Fame area.
The five elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal in their creative cycle.
The colors and elements (water, wood, fire, earth, & metal) you use should be consistent with those of the respective areas of the Bagua that you would use in your home. Be sure to read up on the Feng Shui Bagua for more information on this.
Symbolism you might use, however, could be relatively unique to you and your profession.
The Bagua Sections of the Desk
Career: This area is right in front of you — the bottom center square of your tic-tac-toe board. The primary element is water and the color is black. Ensure this space is clear for new work to flow in. If you have a desk with a glass top, you can insert a picture of a stream of water flowing in. Without a glass top, you can simply tape that picture underneath your desk. You don’t need to see the item for it to help you.
Knowledge: The bottom-left box of your tic-tac-toe board is for knowledge. Blue is the primary color here. You could have books related to your profession in the drawers under or a small bookshelf on this corner of the table. Having something blue here will help you concentrate and make better decisions.
Family: This area can be found in the middle-left box of your tic-tac-toe board. The primary element here is wood and the ideal color is green. Portraits of your family, friends, or colleagues in a wooden frame would be ideal in this side of the desk. Adding green here will help you feel more at ease with your family and coworkers.
Prosperity & Wealth: The upper-left corner of your desk is for prosperity and wealth. Gold, purple, and green are prosperous colors. You should also have elements here that remind you of wealth. A money plant, a picture of a dream home, or some golden trinkets would do the job in this corner.
Reputation & Fame: The top-middle square of your tic-tac-toe board is here. Fire is its dominant element, which is also represented by the color red. Candles and lights are ideal here. Company awards or even your nameplate would also be well-placed here. You should place your business cards in this area.
Love & Relationships: This area can be found in the upper-right corner of your tic-tac-toe board. Pink and love symbols represent this area well. Items in pairs represent love, as well. A photo of your spouse or a hidden description of your ideal mate fits well in this corner. I added a pair of small turtles to signify me and my husband.
Creativity & Children: The middle-right area is where creativity flows. It is represented by metal and black & white items. This is another great spot for pictures of your kids. If you are looking for an infusion of creative energy, add a metal pendulum or a picture of something creative that inspires you, such as the Sydney Opera House for an architect.
Helpful People & Travel: The lower-right corner of your desk is where you call upon the help of others, which we can always use. This is best represented by silver or grey objects. Recent business cards that you have collected or your Rolodex can work well here. Create a handwritten note detailing how someone will help you achieve your goals and hide it in your desk drawer in this corner. Swap it out periodically. You could also place a small globe or pictures of your vacation goal here.
Health: This area falls in the center square in the tic-tac-toe board. Earth is the element here and it is represented by earth tones, especially yellow. You could tape a big round yellow circle under your desk here or have objects signifying the earth, such as a jar of decorative stones. Otherwise, ensure that the center of your desk is clutter-free.
Feng Shui Desk Shapes
- Rectangle: This shape is ideal for most offices where you want to accomplish individual work. A rectangular desk helps you concentrate.
- Circle: Circular desks are good for brainstorming and creativity. Thus, they are ideal for group meetings.
- Curved: If you have trouble concentrating because people are frequently disturbing you, it may be wise to change to a curved desk. If you are inside of the curve, in the concave area, you will concentrate better. The convex area where it curves out will keep others from approaching too often.
Feng Shui Desk Material
- Wood: Desks made of wood are sturdy, solid, supportive, reliable, and long-lasting. This is my first recommendation for most job functions.
- Metal: Desks made of metal are sharp and penetrating. They provide lots of mental energy and concentration, but they can be draining to the body.
- Glass: A desk made of glass can be very revealing, meaning that you have nothing to hide. However, energy passes through a glass desk very quickly. Be sure to slow the energy with wooden accessories or plants. Glass desks may be ideal for those in sales who want to show customers that they can be open with them.
- Laminate: Desks made of laminate materials are the vanilla of desks. They do not provide much positive or negative energy.
Feng Shui Desk Colors
- Black: A black desk will attract energy inward, which encourages introspection and creates opportunity.
- Brown: A brown desk stabilizes and strengthens the body, but does not energize the mind.
- White: A white desk activates the mind, but drains the body of energy.
- Gray or Metallic: A gray desk gives you more focus, but drains your physical body.
- Green: A green desk is a good balance of body and mind. It is especially good if you have drawn-out projects.
- Earth Tones: Lighter earth tones will increase your mental focus, and will drain your physical body of energy less than gray.
- Bright Colors: Bright colors such as yellow, orange and pink will draw a lot of attention but make the body and mind restless. I suggest bright desks in rare circumstances, such as for reception areas.
- Wooden Colors: Medium-toned wood colors provide stability and strength to the body. Using lighter tones will help energize the mind. Pine, ash, oak and birch colors should be a good balance while providing just the right amount of contrast with white paper to alleviate visual strain.
Additional Feng Shui Desk Tips
Proportions: Ensure that the size of your desk is proportional to the amount of and space of work you need to do. For instance, if the extent of your work is data entry, you likely wouldn’t need as big of a desk as someone who is an architect with drawings that need to be spread across the desk. Ensure that you can reach everything without allowing your desk to look cluttered.
Strong Foundation: Desks should have strong legs that are built of strong materials. The legs are the foundation of your desk, and thus the foundation of your career and life path.
Modesty Panel: I usually recommend a modesty panel that prevents someone from seeing your legs from in front of the desk. This provides greater security and establishes boundaries. A desk with an open front might feel more intimate, however, and will allow others to feel more comfortable approaching you. Unless you are in human resources or a pure leadership role, I recommend a modesty panel.
Face Toward the Door: If your desk faces a wall, window, or partition, you need to try to move it. Though employers love to be able to look over your shoulder, it adds stress if your back is to the door. If possible, turn your desk to face the doorway, but do not have it in line with the doorway. In other words, if someone were shining a light straight into your doorway, it would not line up with your desk, but you would be able to see the light coming in.
Windows: Try not to have your back toward windows, as you can be overwhelmed with energy. This may be unavoidable in some circumstances. There are cures to help minimize the effect of windows.
Power Position: Your desk should be in an area of your office where you can see as much of the room as possible.
Keep It Positive: On your desk and in your office should be objects that are uplifting and empowering.
Add harmony and balance to your desk with this handy Bagua mouse pad. Complete with a description, element and color for each Gua, this mouse pad will help you achieve more health, wealth and luck.
Feng Shui Mouse Pad: For a boost of positive Chi and a reminder of how the Bagua should be laid out on your desk, look into getting a Feng Shui mouse pad.
Clutter: There is simply no room in Feng Shui for clutter, especially on or in your desk.
Home Office or Workplace: Be sure to Feng Shui the desk in your home office, as well as the one at your workplace. They both represent your career and your life path in general.
