Relationships make the world go round

When most of us check in about our in our personal relationship is when Valentine’s Day is near and many people find themselves focusing on the relationships in their lives whether they are single, in a relationship or married. However, it’s important to remember that this could, and should, be done the other 364 days out of the year. 

When it comes to relationships, Feng Shui’s basic principle that everything is connected energetically applies. Your thoughts, behavior and feelings are influenced by your surroundings. So, if you are single but are looking to be in a relationship, your surroundings should reflect that. It’s the basic law of attraction and it can be implemented in any relationship – even with family members and co-workers. To make your life reflect what you want, you should rid it of negative energy. 

Mirroring your own behavior is a simple way to do this. Sometimes people don’t realize the amount of negativity they release so it’s always key to stay positive and act in a way that reflects what you want. Remember to use “I” statements to unblock communication issues in relationships. Using “I” will uncover what you want and what you feel. It’s important to be true to yourself and this technique can help you protect yourself from unhealthy relationships. It’s important to avoid relationships where you find yourself having to change who you are and having to watch what you say or do. A healthy relationship is one where you can easily express your true feelings and relate with someone. 

Another way to remove negative energy in relationships is through the use of a crystal. Crystals is a common cure for bad chi because it breaks up the negative energy and produces light. You can light candles also and place any of these in the northeast corner of your living space, which defines the personal relationship area, to bring harmony in any of your relationships. Another way to bring harmony into your living quarters is to make sure your furniture in the living room and bedroom has soft, round edges rather than pointed ones. Also choose soothing colors and incense to ensure the flow of energy throughout the house.

Also, take a look at your living space and see if there are items throughout that are from past relationships. Items like photos, clothing and other mementos can trap old, negative energy in your life. The stronger that energy is, the harder it will be for you to make connections with new people. If seeking a new connection is something you want, one way to make your life reflect that is to make room literally for someone new by allowing empty space in drawers and shelves.

Feng Shui problems can lead to arguments and miscommunication in any professional and personal relationship as well as make it harder to connect with people so keep these tips in mind next time you are conversing with a co-worker, family member or significant other.
