Your Home as your Fortress of Health
Learn how to design your Home as your Fortress of Health
Why exactly should you increase your home’s capabilities to become your health fortress? Because home’s skills for defending and preserving your health are enormous and are rarely wholly used. Proper home design can establish a surrounding filled with the energy of sereneness. This energy triggers and dramatically increases your capability to recover from lousy health states of stress and strain quickly, left behind your work and everyday survival activities.
Just with some small design changes in your home, you can protect your health, and consequently, preserve your capabilities to run your activities towards your happy life successfully and with all the power needed!
In this and the next few blogs, I will advise you on quick, cheap and easy done changes in your living space, small design refinements, to lift the energy of sereneness in your home, garden or even office and make it function as your strong health fortress! It is easy! Let me teach you how, starting with your home.
Important home areas for your recovery
For your smooth start, we will begin with tree most critical “hotspot” areas of your home: (1)bed area, (2)favorite seating area and (3)entry area. This are your home’s best health defending places, because of their significant potential to speed up your recovery process. Act with small redesign changes in this areas and get excellent results immediately!
YOUR BED AREA
The first hotspot you should deal with is your bed area.
Shure, you know that already, but your bed area is your home’s most important spot for your thorough recovery process. You should act very committed in this area and ensure the powerful capability that your sleeping place can offer: the generous protection of your health thru recovery from strain and stress accumulated throughout the day. Check out your situation and then work upon it in simple steps listed below.
- Put your bed in your bedroom in the proper Feng shui position! Check below and relocate your bed if needed to ensure your recovery proces while aslip!
2. Orient your bed in a proper Feng shui direction for you and your partner in an easy three-step process.
First, find your personal Feng shui energy number below. Simpley find the row with your birth date and check your Feng shui energy number by your gender. For example, I was born on 07. 05. 1957 (male), so my Feng shui energy number is 7!
Second, check your good directions, according to your Feng shui energy number. For example if your Feng shui energy number is 2, your good directions are NE, W, NW and SW. And if your Feng shui number is 5 and you are a female, your good directions are SW, NW, W and NE, and for example if your Feng shui number is 9, your good directions are E, SE, N and S and so on.
Finally, orient your bed in beneficial direction for you so that your head will point (when lying) to any one of your four benevolent directions. If your bed is used with your partner, orient your bed in the direction that is positive for both of you.
I’m very sorry if your analyses are showing that your bed is not standing in the right position and primarily if it is not oriented as adviced! But if this is the case, correct the position and orientation of your bed as most urgent. It is absolutely necessary and of most importance to get this two right. According to Feng shui, you can derive proper recovering process only with correct bed location and orientation. So please do implement this to ansure smooth removement of your daily accumulated stress and to protect your health!
3. Make small redesign changes in your bedroom for enabling dominance of serene energy in your sleeping area. This small redesign changes will lift the recovery capabilities of bed area, even more:
(3.1) prevent the presence of bright screaming colors, textures (strong patterns, contrasting patterns), sharp and sparky shapes and glossy materials (shiny surfaces, glass, and crystal) which lower the calming atmosphere of yuor bed area,
(3.2) avoid the presence of disturbing equipment, like exercise equipment, TV, tablets, mobile phones, piles of books which ruin the calming atmosphere of bed area,
(3.3) prevent the presence of strong iconography (lively content paintings, sculptures, photographies of children) which lessens the calming atmosphere of bed area;

YOUR ARMCHAIR AREA
The second chosen hotspot to deal with is your favorite armchair or sofa area, your most beloved place where you seat to relax.
Your armchair spot is of great importance for your recovery process, running while you are awake (or half awake), seating quietly and loosely. Check out your “armchair situation” and then act upon in simple steps listed below:
- Put your armchair (or sofa) in the proper Feng shui position! Check below and relocate your armchair/sofa if needed!
2. Orient your armchair/sofa in a proper Feng shui direction in a three-step process (the same process as in the case above, done for your bed area).
Find the row with your birth date and read your Feng shui energy number by your gender to define the directions that are good for you (use the tables above). Finally, orient your armchair/sofa with your face side in one of four positive directions.
If you use sofa/couch with your partner, orient it in the direction that is positive for both of you.
3. Enable serene energy to dominate with small redesign changes of your armchair/sofa area.
- ensure enough space (min. 70 cm) in front of your armchair/sofa for your legs and disable any traffic behind it,
- minimise the presence of colors, forms, and materials considering the rule “Less is more,"
- organize furniture and equipment seen from your armchair/sofa in a recognizable pleasant order (axial design, symmetry, determining one central visual theme, color, form or material);

After implementation of advised redesign actions for your armchair/sofa area, you will be more relaxed when using this area. Able to read, listen to the music, or just observe the surroundings, seen thru your window and recharge your batteries in great extent.
YOUR ENTRY AREA
The third hotspot you should deal with for increase the recovery potential of your home is your entry area.
The entry area is the spot where you enter your private world, place where you stand, after coming thru your main door. The entrance hall or anteroom is a significant recovery part of your home because it is a solid starter of your recovery process. It allows you to quickly change your mode of “being unsafe on the outside,” to the mode of being “completely safe and embraced by your home.”
Check out your situation and then act upon in few steps listed below:
Thoroughly scrutinize your entrance area for any possible defects and damages on walls, ceiling and ground, or any other deficiency on furniture and equipment. Fix it or eliminate this errors!
Remove everything unnecessary to ensure maximum transparency and spaciousness of this area. Now design just one center of attention, a particular surplus in this transparent and spacious area. But don’t owerdo it!
Ensure an exhibition of one selected image, sculpture, object, or precious arrangement (plant, flowers) that can instantly raise your mood. Make sure that you always notice this center of attention when entering. It must be intentionally exposed and hopefully cheer you immediately with the warming the fact that you have arrived in the safe place called HOME.
