Relationship Feng Shui Tips

Relationship marketing is in.  The trend is also part of mainstream relationship feng shui knowledge and applications both for personal and business relations.

The secret in making relationships longer-lasting and stronger through feng shui is simple. Relationship is all about human energy interaction and its management.  So. relationship in feng shui is a challenging and never-ending human management skill, driven by motivation and, guess what, lucky charms too!

What is charm, delight, chutzpah, or magic in any given human relations is called ki, human life energy or chi in feng shui! Energy that is felt – emotionally, mentally and physically.

Now, how to do it? It will depend on your human motives. On the business front, professional relations dictate certain feng shui concepts sprinkled with Asian values and customs. 

First, the concept of guan xi or fraternal support among network of friends in business and networking connections that pave the way for nurtured business contacts, discounts and informal old boy support extended unconditionally like a big brother.

Second is the concept of face and giving face.  In short integrity and honoring one’s word, even if no one is looking.  Character.

Third is belonging, or the need to belong.  The value of social acceptance.  In the Western and Asian cultures, this is where the social rituals of celebrating successes like treating peers in a “blow out” for every promotion or social event is valued as it is imbued with the social recognition and acceptance of the host.

Fourth is ‘power’ relations, the need for authority and power in any setting – social, personal or professional.

The earlier motivations are qualified under need for achievement and recognition.  

Fifth is the Asian value of smooth interpersonal relationships, public or private.

These five motives can be enhanced in feng shui by way of attracting positive vibes from co-workers, partners, even lovers by simply using lucky charms as amulets for attraction. And these charms range from feng shui art to material objects.

These can also be geared to be on the aggressive side or defensive side.  Say, how to lead with authority among your peers in the office or even social networks.  Or how to defend against office politics or envious peers, competitors in life in general, even rivals for your loved one!

Let us walk through the most popular lucky charms used all over the feng shui world globally.

For love:  the use of symbols like the Chinese calligraphy of double happiness keeps a love relationship especially marriage sustainable with mirth and nurturance at home, even at work as in love for work and profession.  Just frame any double happiness symbol and hang in your home or office.

For career:  using the three successive equal line trigram (trigram of heaven from the Chinese i-ching or book of changes) also called the trigram of heaven attracts support from heaven, earth and man.  Normally when this is placed at a northwest wall of the home or office, it boosts relationships with all the stakeholders of your life: family, peers, bosses and marketing network, social and public.  In layman’s terms it attracts support from heaven... all the way to City Hall and the White House so to speak in America or the Malacanang Palace in Philippines!

For finances: using a turtle figurine or image at the north side of home or office with guidance of a feng shui geomancer or expert boosts monetary gains from careers attracting hefty promotions and recognition. Well what better fuel to the engine of both personal and professional relationships when one has the war chest, so to speak.

In politics, whether office or real politick or the real world as in governance: there is only one rule – have a thick face and black heart!  And often two lucky symbols are used: the Kuan Kung image or figurine (means nobody can put one or fool you personally and professionally) placed in the office and home facing the main doors and the tigereye beads worn at the right wrist of a wannabe political leader.

These key charms abide by the law of attraction principles imbued in feng shui. However, these are tempered by two Golden Rules:

First is the golden rule of filial brotherly and sisterly love of not doing unto others what you do not like done unto yourself.  Commonly known as the law of divine retribution or you reap what you sow... simply put: karma!

Second is the ultimate law of responsibility.  Every relationship carries with it the burden and challenges of being responsible for managing a relationship, business or personal or even love life!  A simple but tall order often eclipsed by the mistaken notion that he or she who holds the gold rules a relationship! For this iron second law is anchored on real and true love for others, unconditionally and humanely as much as possible.

The bottom line in keeping a lasting relationship is to be loving in your ways with feng shui applications, and with lucky charms as well.
