The Eternal Dance of Madame Yin & Master Yang
In Feng Shui, balance – the harmonious interplay between opposite forces – is the key to creating happiness. These opposite forces are called Yin and Yang and they define the dual nature of our entire universe. The happiness you strive for – or currently enjoy – is inherent in the delightful “just right” balance between Yin and Yang extremes. You are continually defining your preferences and making adjustments to strike such a balance in your everyday life. Think of the difference between taking a nice warm shower versus a scalding or freezing one; sitting in a beautifully lit room versus one that is blindingly bright or pitch-dark; participating in a friendly conversation versus a stony silence or loud argument. Happiness thrives in the human-friendly conditions of harmony, comfort, pleasure, and beauty; conditions we enjoy when we know how to balance the Yin and Yang qualities of our lives.
Whether you are a woman or a man, you’ll find that both Yin and Yang qualities abound within and around you. They are not gender specific. The strongest, most masculine man in the world has qualities associated with the classically feminine Yin.

Are the lines of communication open in your relationship? If not, it’s time to clear the Ch’i by telling your partner what you are feeling and what would make you happy. Ask what your partner is feeling and what would make him or her happy. Having a heart-to-heart talk is often the quickest way to reawaken the romantic feelings that brought you together. Whatever the outcome, knowing the truth will set you free to grow and pursue the happiness you deserve.

Feng Shui Definitions: Single Men’s Bedrooms
These suggestions are for men who want to attract romance into their lives:
- Is your bedroom a multipurpose room where you work out, watch TV, surf the Net, write proposals, and (supposedly) rest? Although this arrangement may be practical, it is not the slightest bit romantic. To attract a partner, make room for romance. Put your active equipment, TV, and computer in other rooms. If any of these items need to stay in your bedroom, screen or cover them when they’re not in use. Let your bed command your bedroom, and keep your bed linens clean and welcoming.
- Check your art. Introduce artistic elements that suggest sensuality and serenity, and move single guy art such as cars, centerfolds, or basketball stars to another location.

These suggestions are for single women who want romance in their lives:
- Stuffed animals and dolls on the bed “whisper” to a new lover that the bed is already taken. Make room for romance by giving them a home somewhere else.
- Romantic spontaneity is hampered by a wall of pillows on the bed. Cull the pillow herd, especially “fussy” pillows that need special care. Design a sensuous, unencumbered bed that you can fall into without a “single” care.
- Change art portraying companionless figures, solitary flowers, and other “onesome” subjects to twosome art: two people, animals, flowers, or two of anything that inspires you.
- Place pairs of items, such as candlesticks, vases, and books in the Love and Marriage area of your home and your bedroom.
- Act as if you already have a partner! Put inviting nightstands and lamps on both sides of your bed.
- Set the stage for receiving your new love by giving yourself the same loving care that you would a lover. Your loving relationship with yourself will strengthen your Ch’i and make you more attractive as a partner. Create a romantic atmosphere for yourself. Enjoy your own company, and find out what it’s like to really love you.
