Feng Shui Your Love PadWritten by Advice Diva
Continued from page 1 corner of your home you will activate this good chi. Finally you need to energize this earth element with other objects in love corner. These objects can be crystal (Rose Quartz is suggested), large and round decorative pots and jars, peacock feathers, silk or real flowers, a globe, a symbol of sun, a Chinese love knot made of red rope which symbolizes undying love, love birds in a pair but never single or ducks in a pair but never single, rose oil and two pink or red candles burning which is known as “tantric twins”. All of these objects have ties with earth element but you do not have to use all of them. It is also said that wood is a harmful element to earth element so no wood should be here. No dried flowers as well because it could signify death of a romantic relationship. And just in case you are planning to buy a new house or rent a new apartment, there should be no kitchen or bathroom in southwest corner of house. If there is a bathroom, use plants to drown out sha chi but a kitchen is a bigger problem since a kitchen in this area symbolizes infidelity on either side. The bedroom can also be worked on. It should be well lit instead or dark and dreary. There should be no plants in bedroom because plants will bring excess yang (male) energies to bedroom which could increase his libido and cause a wandering and lustful eye towards younger women. There should be no TV’s and no mirror by bed as they cause an intrusion within a relationship. Hang a rose quartz crystal over southwest corner of your bed. When looking for love, feng shui-ists say a man should decorate with more yin (femininity) in mind while a female should decorate with more yang. This causes a healthy balance and will attract opposite sex. For questions and comments contact The Advice Diva at: thediva@advicediva.com Please visit www.advicediva.com for more articles by Diva

| | The Independent Woman and the Metrosexual ManWritten by Advice Diva
Continued from page 1 Suddenly, roles that we are used to having our mates fill are no longer being filled. The metrosexual is now asking why he has to pay for every date, open doors and pick a woman up at her door since women are now so independent and financially equal. Yet these men still secretly yearn for that woman who will do housework and raise children just like mom did. The independent woman has become too afraid to give back that independence she worked so hard for only to begin relying more on a man than herself. Why should she when danger still lies of being tossed aside one day? Yet, in her heart, she also desires manly man who will sweep her off of her feet and take away all of her problems, just like her daddy once did. We have now entered what appears to be a never ending cycle that can only be broken by trust. The once praised nuclear family with hard working father and stay at home mother is slowly dissipating. From now on, men and women will be taking on more equal roles in relationships and families. The question is: when will we become comfortable enough to let it happen?For questions and comments contact The Advice Diva at thediva@advicediva.com Please visit http://www.advicediva.com for more articles by Diva
