REKINDLING THE EXTINGUISHED FIRE... Refresh the flow of chi in your environment, in your body, with objects and practices to heal and rejuvenate. Next to your body, the closest Feng Shui environment is your bed. Placing it in the most commanding position of your bed chamber with sight of the door and on a solid wall enhances individual self esteem and creates a relationship that feels safe, based on a good foundation. You can further solidify your relationship by framing it with a strong and solid headboard. Stimulate, awaken your love life by hanging a chime or a bell above your bed. Visualize the beginning of something new and wonderful in your relationship. Enhance your health, increase mental clarity, activate your own personal energy, clear away problems and bring new light into your relationship by hanging a crystal ball from a red ribbon positioned in the centre over the head of your bed. Removing things stored under the bed will help to reveal hidden obstacles in your relationship and other areas of your life. A yellow paper or ribbon placed in the centre between your mattresses will impart good health to both of you as you sleep. Activate healing chi by also adding yellow into the centre of the room. This may be in the ‘Heavenly Realm’ (above your heads). If you have a light in the centre of your room, paint a yellow dot inside the light fixture, again with the intention of attracting joy and happiness into your relationship as well as maintaining individual good health. Add the Water Element into your bedroom if you are needing to contemplate and gain insight on something that might be troubling you about your relationship. A picture of flowing water in the Knowledge Gua (left front) section of your bed chamber placed with conscious intent, will energize the chi and assist you to realize your answers. Take it down when you have received your answers as too much Water Element in the bedroom can contribute to not being able to rest well. A blue crystal or a crystal pagoda could also be used for accomplishing this purpose. To stimulate sexual energy, bring the Fire Element into the Relationship Gua of your bed chamber by adding a beautiful red item like a vase or a statue of the auspicious celestial Phoenix, representing the fire energy of the south. Make sure finishes on items are solid and not broken to ensure an even flow of chi. Reactivate sexual energy within your body by learning to circulate chi using the Tao technique entitled the, ‘Microcosmic Orbit’. Begin to practice ‘Ecstatic Lovemaking’, an ancient Taoist science that teaches control of the rhythms and positions of lovemaking will channel energy in different ways, thus enabling the body to focus and correct its imbalances. (This information is available to you on the home page of this site.) Challenge yourself to spice up the romance between you and your significant other with a surprise picnic or a sensual gift. Take your significant other to an exotic island for a holiday or shut off the phones, lock the doors to the outside world and retreat to your own love chamber. As a couple, intuitively select one or more of the ‘Eight Benefits’ (Refer to the home page for this article) that you sense would be of mutual benefit to your health and well being. With conscious intent, fully engage in the methods and continue to repeat them, even if it must be in a more moderated form, until you reap the reward intended. Look upon Buddha to remind yourself to be patient with the process and call upon Qwan Yin for the compassion required to listen both to your own truth concerning your relationship with yourself as well as, the truth your loved one may be trying to tell you concerning the relationship you share. |
