Light the Lamp of Love: Bedroom Enchantment

Ask any professional decorator the secret of a beautiful home and they will all agree that lighting is hugely important. I will add that for bedrooms it is even more important as that is what sets the tone and mood. Your bedside lamp needs to be a favorite and the bulb wattage needs to be enough to read but not overly bright. Many metaphysical shops have clay lamp rings you can fill with essential oils but you can also anoint your bulb before turning it on by gently dabbing with a clean cloth dipped in oils. Vanilla and amber are my go-to’s but you should experiment until you find what you and your loved one prefer. You can also enhance the love energy of your lamp by draping a gorgeous scarf or cloth of a warm and amorous color such as deep rose or smoldering orange.

After you have anointed and adorned your bedside lamp, pray aloud:

Aphrodite, aid me from the heavens above!

Bring forth in me, the wisdom of love.

Goddess bright, share with me your art,

Guide me in the ways of the heart.

I go in gratitude to you; thank you for your light of love.

Now, adorn yourself and embody the goddess of love!

The Feng Shui of Love: How to Create the Ideal Relationship Corner

As you walk into your bedroom, the relationship corner will be the back right corner. Your love and romance energies have to be nurtured there, and you might as well consider placing a shrine there to serve as your personal wellspring to turn to for refreshing these feelings of felicity.

Look at this area with a fresh eye—what is cluttering your love corner with stale energy? Half-empty perfume bottles or near-empty cosmetic bottles could be impairing your relationship energy. You must clear unhappiness out of this space, clear the area of any clutter by getting rid of all unnecessary objects and tidying up.

To cleanse the area, ring a hand bell anywhere clutter has accumulated, giving special attention to your bed and pillows. Here are a few tips:

•   Never bring old pillows into a new home. Old pillows can cause poor sleep and bad dreams. They can carry old sexual energy and can kill a relationship.

•   Never place your bed in the center of a room, as this will cause anxiety and get in the way of a healthy relationship.

•   Never have the foot of the bed facing the door, as this brings very bad luck.

•   To keep your romantic life fresh, always make the bed and change the linens often.

Place these objects in your bedroom to attract loving energy:

•   2 rose quartz crystals of equivalent size

•   Pink, orange, or red fabric

•   2 red candles

•   Images of two butterflies or a pair of lovebirds

•   Tuck sweetly scented dried rose and lavender sachets into both pillows

Witchy Feng Shui for Love

Of all the rooms in your home, the bedroom must be the real refuge, a place where you relax, refresh and restore. It should be a center of self-care and also where you pursue pleasures, whether it is reading a beloved novel undisturbed and also a sacred center for your romantic relationship. Ideally, your bedroom is where you unplug and recharge. You need to feel safest here and where you can “let down your hair” and be utterly yourself and utterly comfortable. There are days when you should stay in your jammies and slippers, nurture your every desire and do self-care spells. Let’s face it, we all face a lot of demands, day in and day out\, making it all the more important for your bedroom to be your personal retreat. Take care to make sure it is beautiful to your eye as well as peaceful and deeply comfortable. Clutter will add a note of chaos to your bedroom so make sure to keep the stacks of magazines and piles of sweaters under control to maintain the feeling of safe haven. Every room  should look and feel good to you but your bedroom is the beating heart of your home. Keep it beautiful to your eye and pleasing to all your senses as well as those of your romantic partner. Make this the place where you can sleep, dream, meditate, read, convalesce, share your affection and craft love magic.

 Witchy Feng Shui for Love:

 Surely one of the main reasons for clearing space in your home and bedroom is to make room for a happy love life. Before you attempt to enhance your prospects for love, you need to improve the flow of chi, or life energy, in the environment where you express your love. Try any of all of the following to help you improve the chi:

•   Remove all pictures of yourself where you are alone.

•   Remove all empty cups, jars, vases, and bottles.

•   Remove all photographs of past lovers, or at least relegate them to another room.

•   Make sure that decorative accessories are in even numbers, not in odds or in triplets. This pertains to candles, frames, pillows, and lamps.

•   Display special feng shui love symbols, such as an open red fan, a pair of crystal lovebirds, and two red hearts. On your bed, you should use rich, silky, and extremely comfortable fabrics and colors. Also be extravagant when it comes to pillows—the more the merrier. But remember to have even numbers, not odd ones, which disrupt your “love chi.”

Feng Shui Secrets for Peace of Mind

Stones placed in strategic places around your home can help accelerate the change you are desiring in your home.  Using what I call “crystal feng shui,” you can place a crystal or a geode in the appropriate position of your home to facilitate specific results. For example, amethyst will promote healing and release any negative energy that is clinging. Clusters of jade or yellow “lemon quartz” will activate vibrations of abundance and creativity.

If you want to bring more money into your home or office, place a big chunk of citrine on the left side of your desk, and the money will begin to flow! If you have a dark hallway that feels spooky or an area in your home or office in which the energy feels very static or low, place an obsidian ball there, perhaps in a pedestal, to absorb this negative energy. If you want to have your bedroom be a place of bliss and unconditional love, rose quartz will create this all-important atmosphere.  Not only will these tips add to the buoyancy and joy of your home, it will also make it more striking and serene.

Crystal Power:

-citrine for a better ability to communicate

-lace agate for happiness with your job

-lapis lazuli for mental brilliance

-moonstone for self-love and self-expression
