Dear Anon,
Yes, you brought up an interesting question.
As you have mentioned that many " FS practitioners " had recommended placing the Heart shaped symbol in the bedroom.
In my opinion, I believe that this is a "modern idea" especially if it is associated with Feng Shui.
Traditional Feng Shui practitioners (I mean those practitioners i.e. Chinese and coming from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and the Far East do not usually need to provide such an advise.
This is because rather of the strong belief in the use of `standard' Mandarin symbols as shown in the link below:-
https://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/imagesearch.cgi?img=0&search=happiness&cat=all&x=21&y=16
The various simples and even `cutting' .... usually these are paper cuttings. On red paper.
Red represents auspiciousness and if one looks at the symbol of the DOUBLE HAPPINESS one can see a mirror image or mirror of both images.
For many years, Chinese do not need the advise of a FS practitioner on the placement of double happiness symbols as it is strongly rooted in their beliefs.
Especially for the marriage couple, the double happiness symbols would appear on flower arrangements during their Chinese marriage ceremony and in their bedroom.
The Heart symbol has more to do with Western FS practitioners... in trying to perhaps create this `belief'.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

User's Comments " I contacted Robert and you initially in November last year, having gone through an 18month period of never ending bad luck. I also had an arm injury, which would not heal after a year. Absolutely nothing would go right for me, not even the simplest most trivial thing. I then found that finances were a problem. As recommended I completed a Flying Star report, and a Pillars of Destiny Report, and followed all the recommendation and cures. I also received allot of advice from your Free Advise service, and read all the previous messages for tips. I am delighted to report that the string of bad luck has now been broken, and I have gone back to normal, which is brilliant. I can’t thank you both enough. Finances are also satisfactory, so I can now work hard and strive to achieve greater things. I will always remember your kindness, it was most encouraging. I will try to use your example, and help other people when they are in need and maybe I can do something to help. Many thanks. " Regards Liz Cooper |
