Feng Shui your life for love
Experts tell us that we can Feng Shui our homes for love. By adopting some simple feng shui techniques, they tell us we can turn the 'no go zone' into the 'love lounge'! They say that to create good chi (good energy) we must get rid of any sha chi (harmful energy). According to the experts, if the southwest corner of your home has 'good chi', your relationship or love aspirations will be positively affected. You can create 'good chi' by putting a rock or crystal in this area of your home.
Other tips include having no dried flowers as they can represent the death of a romantic relationship. Your bedroom should be well lit, with no mementoes of your past relationship/s - that's no photos or gifts that cause you or your future partner any upset. Your room should only contain items that you love - nothing that makes you upset or unsettled and there should be minimal clutter. Experts also suggest no TV, no plants in the room, and no mirror by the bed (this causes an intrusion in the relationship)
So does it work? Have you ever tried feng shui? Are you a fan? Can you offer any feng shui advice or tips?

Comments (44)Love lost to love again?
Jazz vocalist and trumpeter Chet Baker wrote:
"You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is"
Is this true? To really appreciate true love, you have to have loved and lost? I'd tend to agree with Chet. Unless you're one of those truly lucky (very rare!) individuals who falls in love and settles down to 60 years of bliss with their childhood sweetheart, I think it would be fair to say that many of us have loved and lost.
The devastation of a break up when you are deeply in love is the most terrible thing. But the mending of your heart, the strengthening of your spirit and the final ability to trust again, when someone new and better for you comes into your life does seem to support this. And if we can weather the storm of a shattering break up, doesn't this make us stronger, if this is ever to happen again? What do you think?

Comments (632)Valentines Day for the newly dating
It seems hard to believe but Valentine's Day will soon be upon us. Whatever your relationship status, thanks to the media, it's hard to ignore. Love it or hate it, there's no getting away from those pink cards and fluffy bunnies populating the shops right now. So what about if you've just started dating someone new? If you're in the throes of a new romance, you might want to show some affection, but there's that nagging fear in the background of seeming too keen or even worse, being a little creepy.
For those of us in a new relationship, terrifying our latest date with an overwhelming bombardment of expensive gifts or dinner reservations might just sent that suitor running. Experts say that this is one of the hardest Valentine's Day dilemmas and I'd be inclined to agree. So what's acceptable? And at what stage is it appropriate to acknowledge your feelings of affection for a new partner - 1 week, 1 month, or more? Tell us what you think about Valentine's Day and share your Valentine's Day stories and advice.
