4. Put “peach blossom luck” items in the lucky direction of your bedroom.
Some universally lucky items include rose quartz or a single fresh flower bouquet—No more than one bouquet, as too many flowers mean distractions!
It’s also said that things will work out favorably for a relationship if you sit in this direction while meeting someone.
5. Keep this direction of the room clean and uncluttered, placing only pleasant objects there.
A basic concept in feng shui, this keeps the “qi” or energy flowing.
6. Having pairs of decorations is a good idea.
Pairs of decorations, such as a pair of lovebirds or koi fish, bring in happiness and stability. Singularity is not what we want! So take down any photos of only yourself as well.
7. Consider a peony decoration.
Peonies are a symbol of nobility and good fortune. According to feng shui, having a peony print in the “peach blossom luck” direction of your bedroom invites a proper, suitable love interest into your life.
8. If you’re wearing a rose quartz bracelet, wear it on your left wrist.
As a general rule of thumb, wear crystals on your left wrist to attract something, and on your right to let go of something (such as someone you’re not interested in).
Of course, you can just wear a bracelet in the right peach blossom color that makes you happy!
Feng shui and “peach blossom luck” can be complicated, but these tips should be enough to get you started and help you to discover some new perspectives on love. May your romance bloom!
