Years ago, I read a book about how to use Feng Shui to improve the energy flow, including how to call new romances in life. I thought to myself, why not? It would be a pleasant change to rearrange some furniture in my bedroom and to add a few new decors too. Indeed, not long after that, I got into a new relationship. You can imagine how thrilling it was for me when I interviewed Patricia Lohan, an international Feng Shui Expert, to hear her saying that was what she did to meet her now-husband as well!

In our interview, we talked about some basic principles of Feng Shui, fun facts and simple ways to improve the energy of your home. Some of the most common hot topics are how to use Feng Shui to allow more money to come through and to nurture better relationships. We also talked about the idea of the Yin and Yang part of a home and how to balance and harmonize the energy to better suit our lives.

* Animals, pets, insects and nature around your home, they carry its own symbolism, it also depends on how you feel about them.

* Yin and Yang. Yin time is very introverted, so perhaps for bedroom (or in my case, study) may prefer a bit darker or position in the yin part of the house. While the living room is the yang side where everyone lives and spends time so brighter colours or have more light or sun ray.

* Look at decorations or painting, how do they make you feel, what abstract ideas or symbology do they carry?

* Every house is unique. You can look at all the different energies in every part of your home. There are always ways to improve the energy with the five elements, like adding plant or earth element, etc.
