Written by Kathryn Weber

Put lots of romantic images in here! Display pictures or figurines that say romance to you. Pictures of couples kissing, holding hands, anything to “inspire” your loving feelings. Some people intentionally remove any pictures of romance because they don’t want to be reminded that they are lonely. Wrong. You need to be reminded and inspired because it will work to activate you more to seek out a new partner.

4. Activaterepparttar “man” and “woman” in your space. You should activate your home, your bedroom, your garden, your desk, and your office, and any other space you occupy to increaserepparttar 131031 influence ofrepparttar 131032 NW and SW energies.

FOR WOMEN ONLY: To activaterepparttar 131033 “MAN” area (NW) in your space:

Desk: Put a phone or fax here, add a radio, or putrepparttar 131034 computer on this corner of your desk, place a picture of a handsome man here, or add a moving metal sculpture; (metal pendulum clocks are great).

Home/Living Room: Put your television or stereo inrepparttar 131035 NW sector (unless it isrepparttar 131036 bedroom). Or, you can put manly objects in this area if it is your bedroom. Objects such as books a man might read (or your ideal man would read!),repparttar 131037 sports page, or a picture of a handsome man (or men? Chippendale’s calendar, maybe?) in this location is good.

Bedroom: A CD player with romantic music that you listen to nightly would be wonderful in a NW corner ofrepparttar 131038 bedroom.

Yard: Place a shepherd’s hook here and hang a windchime on it. Anything metal would be excellent here.

Office: Gold windchime with a fan gently blowing to make it tinkle softly. This is also a good idea inrepparttar 131039 living room.

FOR WOMEN AND MEN: Remember, both women and men want to activaterepparttar 131040 SW corner of their homes, bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and desks! That’s becauserepparttar 131041 SW corresponds to romance, marriage, and women.

To activaterepparttar 131042 “WOMAN” and “ROMANCE” area (SW) in your space try these ideas: Desk: Place a beautiful stone (such as rose quartz) or a beautiful vase inrepparttar 131043 SW corner of your desk. You can make a copy ofrepparttar 131044 double happiness symbol and place it on this corner; it’s believed to make married men out of confirmed bachelors. Add red items in this location, crystal objects (a crystal pendulum clock would be wonderful here!), or red crystal paperweight is also a perfect addition. You will also want to place a copy ofrepparttar 131045 “Double Happiness” symbol here.

Home/Living Room: Make surerepparttar 131046 SW sectors of your home and living room have love objects appropriate torepparttar 131047 SW corner. This can be a terracotta or porcelain vase, candles, picture of a mountain, such as Ayers Rock, would be especially auspicious.

Bedroom: A CD player with romantic music that you listen to nightly would be wonderful in a SW corner ofrepparttar 131048 bedroom. Place a lamp in this corner and make sure it stays on at least 3 hours a day. Better still, keep it onrepparttar 131049 entire day while you are out!

Yard: Place a large boulder or group of boulders here. Or, place a cement bench in this location. You may also wish to put a statue of a couple in this location, or plant some red or pink flowers here.

Office: Add a picture here of a mountain (provided it is not directly in front of you), or some other romantic scene that is tasteful. A lamp in this location is also a good idea.

5. Eliminaterepparttar 131050 old to bring inrepparttar 131051 new. If you have pictures of old boyfriends and girlfriends hanging around, then they’re still there! Get rid ofrepparttar 131052 pictures and mementos. Make sure that you have new sheets, too, to sleep on. Old energy can linger inrepparttar 131053 bed as well.

One single woman (she was divorced) had pictures of her ex everywhere and wondered why her love life was poor. What man wants to compete with a former boyfriend – or worse, an ex-husband.

6. Employ some “magic.” Some feng shui stems from Chinese folklore and superstition. But if it helps you draw Mr. or Ms. Right, who cares, right?

•Rainbows for love. Hang a crystal inrepparttar 131054 SW windows. Then, letrepparttar 131055 sun’s rays shine onrepparttar 131056 crystal to create rainbows inrepparttar 131057 SW sector of your house for extra romantic energy in your space.

•Use a magic box. This is said to draw a spouse to you. Purchase a silver box, either round or square shaped. Write your deepest desires for a spouse on a piece of paper. Place this box inrepparttar 131058 SW or NW corner ofrepparttar 131059 house, in a cupboard or out of sight. A square box should be placed inrepparttar 131060 SW and a round box inrepparttar 131061 NW.

Written by Susan Dunn, M.A., The EQ Coach


Continued from page 1

Introduce interesting topics of conversation - good movies you've seen, places you've visited. If you're stuck, askrepparttar other person something - Do you have children? Did you get away overrepparttar 131028 [holidays]? Have you read [the latest bestseller]? Where do you work? Any of these questions will getrepparttar 131029 other person talking about their favorite topic - them! You'd berepparttar 131030 most popular person atrepparttar 131031 party if that's all you did all night long!

Help in unobtrusive ways. Empty some ash trays, take abandoned dishes torepparttar 131032 kitchen, whisk your hosts' kid off torepparttar 131033 bathroom, pass around a plate of hot hors d'oeuvres. If you see something that needs doing, quietly do it. Your hostess has her hands full! At one party I gave, a candle caught fire inrepparttar 131034 den. I appreciated repparttar 131035 guest who put it out, removedrepparttar 131036 tablecloth, cleaned uprepparttar 131037 mess, and then came and told me!

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END

Don't overstay your welcome, no matter how much you're enjoying yourself. Why? You had a nap, got your nails done, watchedrepparttar 131038 football game. They've been cooking and cleaning for days.

How do you know when it's time to go home? USE YOUR INTUITION. You may've been told 2-5, or just "come around 8", but your host and/or hostess will give off nonverbal signals when it's time for you to go home. They yawn, suddenly get up, start fidgeting and twisting, letrepparttar 131039 conversation lag, or even start doingrepparttar 131040 dishes! Get a clue!

SAY GOOD-BYE. Even if it's a large gathering, seek outrepparttar 131041 host and/or hostess and tell them good bye, and thank them!

Send a written thank-you note afterwards. It's just a nice thing to do.

Being a good guest means making a positive contribution torepparttar 131042 gathering. And, oh yes, don't forget to have fun, because that's catching and everyone will appreciate it.
