One of the greatest joys of living is having someone who belongs to you and whom you belong to. Just knowing you have a partner in life to lean on provides us with fulfillment. Singles will say they have the love of friends and family….but.

The “but” is that they don’t have a partner – a wife, a husband, a girlfriend, or boyfriend. They say it’s just not the same as when you have someone in your life that you are committed to and who is committed to you.

And it’s true. Having a loving partner in your life gives you a feeling like no other.

In feng shui every direction, such as north, south, or northeast has a number, color, element and a shape associated with it. Each shape has a distinct meaning. For instance, the tall, rectangular shape of wood is associated with growth. The shape associated with “big metal” or the northwest is round. This is also the shape of coins – or “change” – and wealth.

Go into almost any Chinese restaurant and you’ll see beautiful chandeliers. You might wonder if this is an effort to dress up the interior of the restaurant, and while it might be, chandeliers have a much more important symbolic place in restaurants, and indeed, your home. These chandeliers are thought to bring up the quality of the dining experience because chandeliers are thought to invite wonderful chi – and they do!

It may not seem like fame and recognition are important, but they are. This part of feng shui and your life directly relates to how others see you and how you present yourself in the world.

As educated and advanced people, we now know that unseen forces, like radio waves, gravity, and even solar flares, do exert an influence over us and our lives.

We’ve come to understand that energy is a real, living thing and the acceptance of chi – the flowing river of energy that resides in our bodies, our homes, and the Universe, is also real. So, it should come as no surprise that the energy of chi can also exert an influence on us that’s either beneficial or detrimental.

The problem with feng shui today is that although feng shui is more popular than ever, it’s that surge in popularity that’s given rise to myths about feng shui that can actually cause more harm than good.

The bed is a critical piece your ability to be rested and supported as you sleep, and indeed, your life. When the headboard of your bed is compromised, it will create problems for you in your life in your relationships, health and difficulties with money, and even getting proper rest. Many beds simply don’t have a headboard at all, and this gives the sleeper absolutely no support, sleep quality is impacted and many find they feel like they have to “go it alone” in the world.

Based on that, you might think have any headboard is better than none, but that’s not exactly true either.

Some headboards can cause more harm than good.

But did you know that good feng shui can also include very subtle environmental clues, too? It’s true.

For instance, have you ever walked into a home or office and felt uncomfortable at once? Or, perhaps your children became unruly or your baby started to cry. These are all signs that the feng shui of the space is not right.
