The Heart of the Matter: Feng Shui and Love

As an ode to the heart this Valentines month, I quote Pierro Ferrucci, leading philosopher and psychotherapist who lives in beauty in Florence, Italy, the land of Romanza. Ferrucci says, “Intimacy is not only physical, but also psychological and spiritual. It is the capacity to enter and let enter, to get to know and allow to be known. To reveal our own dreams, our strangest and most embarrassing sides. To love without fear.”

Query:
I have had a very difficult time since my divorce finding a new relationship and keeping it. I read about a feng shui cure involving the color pink in the bedroom. Can feng shui help with this?

Answer:
You are speaking of the popular kind of feng shui that uses external remedies to adjust what is primarily an internal challenge. The solution is to work with someone like a dear friend or counselor who can guide you to look at the long held beliefs and judgments that you have been holding around your ability and right to have a loving relationship in your life. These “irrational beliefs” are mostly unconscious and why I recommend working with someone skilled in these areas.

Once you have uncovered and released these beliefs you are ready to affirm the Truth not only in yourself, but reinforced in your environment. I call this process “Feng Shui From The Inside Out” (side note: Stay tuned for my upcoming book of the same name!), and in my opinion is the most powerful way to create lasting change that aligns you with a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Now we are getting into the more traditional way of practicing feng shui where I can look at your home and the land it occupies and see areas that may be out of alignment with your new clear intention to experience a lasting and loving relationship. One of the most powerful places to focus is the Master Bedroom. After any energetic clearings, I advise the removal of anything that is not supportive of rest, relaxation and sensuality. This includes computers, clutter and other electronics in the Master Bedroom. They are much better suited in other areas of the home. Now we create a space that invites intimacy by adding things in twos or couples. For example, two bedside tables, images of two people or animals together. Also adding earth elements in the right areas such as crystal, stone, pottery or the warm color palate of reds and corals, candles and if space and finances allow, the master bedroom is the perfect area for a fireplace.

There are a few more steps that a feng shui practitioner holds in confidence with the client that I can share with you in person. Thank you for your timely question.
