Feng Shui SOS: “How Can I Keep My Relationship Hot As the Temperature Dips”?
A crackling fire, a cozy blanket, softly falling snow… Winter might sound romantic on paper, but what happens if the chilly weather leaves you feeling more shivery than sexy? It can be hard to stay passionate when rain, sleet, and snow start to make their appearances, but luckily there are a range of Feng Shui tips to turn up the temperature in the bedroom, both literally and figuratively! Here are my top hacks for staying warm and keeping those passions burning bright.
1/ Add a Touch of Fire to the Bedroom (Literally)
It’s not a surprise that the element associated with relationships is fire. Just think about the words we use to describe romances; hot, fiery, steamy, and capturing that “spark”. Even Tinder, one of the biggest dating apps in the world, was named after the small bits of wood used to start a fire!
Take this as your inspiration to give your bedroom a fiery makeover:
Place candles to your nightstand or in your Relationship Direction and light them to create a romantic atmosphere with your partner. Put your intention into it before you light it by closing your eyes and reciting a mantra like “I am lighting this to open my heart to passion”.
Add “fire” colors such as reds, orange, and hot pinks in the form of decor accessories or hot furnishings. Avoid painting a whole wall in these colors though; a little goes a long way!
Display artwork or photos that feature romantic candlelight, fireworks, or a couple sitting together by a roaring campfire.
2/ Get Your Habitat Hibernation-Ready
On a practical level, you want to make sure that your bedroom is somewhere that you feel comfortable, warm, and happy to spend time in, not somewhere you’ll stay shivering in until it’s time to start the day! Treat yourself to soft and cozy new bedsheets, a thick blanket (perhaps even an electric one if you really feel the cold), and a fluffy rug to place next to your bed so that your feet can be greeted with something warm when you get up. With the array of Black Friday deals being advertised online, now would be a great time to update your mattress or pillows if you’ve been looking to do so. Updates like these ensure that your bedroom is hibernation-ready, and that you’re not relying solely on your partner’s body heat to keep you warm this winter!
3/ Update Your Sensual Scents For Winter
Lean into the season and give your room fragrances a refresh. Scents like bergamot, patchouli, lavender, and ylang-ylang are all great for attracting passion, love, and romance, and they’re a lot cozier for winter than rose or jasmine.
You can also use the Love Diamond Essence or the Passion Diamond Essence as a quick and easy way to activate your bedroom’s energy flow for romance. Spray them on your bedsheets, spray them in your Relationship Direction, or spray them on yourself at arms’ length to activate your aura field.
