Many "Feng Shui Consultants" believe that the perfect approach to attract love and happy relationships is to adjust the living environment by re-placing images of Lone Figures with pictures and paintings of happy couples, by creating cozy seating arrangements, by removing televisions out of bedrooms. My absolute favorite advise is the one which says to down-size from a king size to a queen size bed. By analyzing some of the advice it is very obvious that these so-called "Feng Shui professionals" have one thing in common: This is known as wishful thinking.
The Chinese art and science of Feng Shui is based on a complicated set of calculations based on the year of construction of a home, a persons supporting directions, an exact 15 degree Compass reading as well as the floor plan we are dealing with. Simply replacing images of "lone figures" with "pictures showing happy couples" will not magically do the trick. As we are only working with the Five Elements Earth, Water, Wood, Metal and Fire you can decide for yourself – Pictures and Paintings do not belong to either one of the Five Elements! This could very well be considered to be a PLACEBO. Placebos may have a tremendous impact on the subconscious, yet should not be mixed up with the subject of Feng Shui.
Simply replacing images does not replace the need of a "Feng Shui Consultation" by an experienced "Feng Shui Consultant. Only a Feng Shui Consultation of a home can offer information how good a home is for people. If it is not so good for people this could be a reason why love is hard to achieve. This aspect for sure plays an important part which needs to be taken care of in order to raise chances for attracting love.
Creating cozy seating arrangements are definitely an attractive interior design approach. Saying that single chairs send a message to prospective spouses to "Back Off" is a rather ridiculous statement. And it never crossed my mind before that anyone who has comfortable chairs placed in an angle to each other signals readiness for a relationship. Again, this also has nothing to do with the Feng Shui of a home.
Keeping television sets out of the bedroom is for sure a great idea since watching late night Television can ruin romance as well as magnetic interferences can stop you from enjoying a deep sleep.
Downsizing from a King to a Queen bed also has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Some "Feng Shui Consultants" give the advice that sleeping on a huge mattress does not promote intimacy, and that the investment in a comfortable queen-sized bed will help to find love. And as this explanation on Feng Shui remedies does not already offer enough irrational and false advice it is topped off by saying that if you simply can not make the change from king mattress to queen mattress people should also sleep on 'patterned bed sheets' in order to add some spice to their sex life. The useless advice as well as misleading information which has been published on the internet and in almost all books is higly irritating and can easily and rightfully confuse the person interested in the subject. If sheets would have anything to do with the outcome of good sleep and good relationships in a bedroom the only thing we can suggest are the colors as they are related to the Five Elements Water, Fire, Wood, Metal and Earth to be used in your bedroom after completing a "Feng Shui Consultation" of your home.
