Discover our tips for feeling good at home.

#1 Ventilate your rooms to evacuate negative energies

Ventilating your home is recommended by both health professionals and energy practitioners. Do you feel oppressed at home? Do you perceive a feeling of unease ? Your home may be accumulating negative emotions such as stress, anger, or fatigue.

Get into the habit of regularly airing out your rooms to refresh the energy in your spaces. Opening your windows and creating a breeze to eliminate stagnant energy will soothe anxiety.

#2 Perform an energy cleansing to find a healthy home

Energetic cleansing of your home is essential for eliminating negative energies that can cause insomnia, stress, family conflict, or relationship tension. In energy theories, the home is seen as a living being that interacts with its occupants. It can thus absorb harmful energies and influence your own, even during periods of calm.

Various plants with energetic properties can be used to ward off unwanted vibrations, such as Palo Santo or white sage . At Hozho, we have designed energetic treatments with active ingredients specifically dedicated to the purification, protection and harmonization of the home.

You can perform an energy cleanse at key moments, such as moving in, during times of stress, or during important events. To maintain a healthy environment and feel good at home every day, it's recommended to include it in a regular routine.

#3 Take care with the decoration to cultivate positive emotions

The visual environment of your home, including colors and decorative objects, has a direct impact on your emotions. Scatter your spaces with photos of loved ones, happy memories, and items that inspire you. Recalling these joyful moments throughout the day will stimulate the production of happy and bonding hormones, such as serotonin and oxytocin, improving your mood .

In feng shui theory, but also in chromotherapy and chromatotherapy, color is used to awaken the senses and nourish beneficial energies . Choosing the right colors for each room is therefore essential.

Shades of red, orange, and yellow, which evoke fire, are stimulating, dynamic, and joyful. They are recommended for offices, kitchens, living rooms, or dining rooms to promote creativity and communication. Conversely, the color blue has a calming effect and will calm the mind.

For bedrooms and relaxation areas, it's best to opt for soft, nature-inspired colors like pastels and bright hues. Avoid harsh contrasts, as they tend to stimulate the mind rather than encourage inner calm.

#4 Position your bed correctly to ensure better sleep

Your bed is one of the most important places in your home because it's where you rest, clear your mind, and recharge your batteries. Make sure to position the headboard, preferably against a wall or a high headboard, and keep it away from doors and windows. You shouldn't be in the middle of energy flows that could disrupt your sleep.

#5 Keep electronic devices away from the bedroom

The design and browsing experience of social platforms are designed to stimulate the brain and generate a form of addiction. The goal is to stimulate your interest by stringing together short, low-value pieces of content that satisfy an immediate interest... before sparking a new one.

The consequences of these methods are numerous, including generating stress and stimulating the brain by producing dopamine, which does not promote restful sleep. If possible, keep electronic devices, such as phones and computers, out of your bedroom and turn them off at night.

#6 Spread natural fragrances to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy.

Essential oils of lavender, mandarin, and bitter orange are known to calm anxiety. In aromatherapy and olfactotherapy, plant extracts are used to improve both physical and emotional well-being. These oils can be applied to the skin, inhaled dry (a few drops on a handkerchief), steamed (in hot water or via a diffuser), or taken orally.

The Hozho ranges draw inspiration from ancient traditions to create combinations of plants with powerful energetic properties . Selected by an energy practitioner, these are macerated by hand to preserve all the richness of their aromas and active compounds. Myrrh, sandalwood, patchouli, bamboo, and rose are among the ingredients in our candles, sprays, and eco-friendly energy diffusers. Their captivating scents contain no synthetic fragrances; they come entirely from high-quality natural ingredients, making them highly recommended products for energy aromatherapy.

#7 Use houseplants to purify the air

Indoor plants can purify the air in your home and create a calming atmosphere . According to feng shui tradition, plants also play a vital role in attracting positive energy.

This is the case with the orchid, for example, associated with joy and fertility, bamboo, considered a lucky charm and an energy catalyst, and the peace lily used to purify the air. Aloe vera, for its part, is reputed to bring prosperity.

#8 Adjust your lighting

Lighting plays a vital role in creating a comfortable atmosphere . Choose bulbs and fixtures that allow you to adjust the light to suit your needs. Natural light is ideal during the day, while soft, dim lights are perfect for relaxing evenings .

Feng shui advocates natural sunlight during the day and candles in the evening. In any case, it is essential to avoid excessively bright lighting, as it tends to excite the brain, which is counterproductive in areas dedicated to rest .

For this, it is recommended to choose bulbs offering a warm color spectrum and to favor lamps made from natural materials such as wood or wickerwork.

#9 Encourage creativity with a dedicated space

Create a dedicated space for your creative pursuits, whether it's painting, music, writing, or any other form of artistic expression that inspires you.

Make this space a place where you are free to explore, experiment, and connect with your creative self. A source of joy, fulfillment, and personal satisfaction, this sanctuary will fully contribute to feeling fulfilled within your home .

#10 Tidy up your home

Accumulation and clutter are often a reflection of the mind. Organizing your mind begins with organizing your home. This will also promote harmony of energy .

Avoid storing unnecessary items and keep your visible space clear by choosing modestly sized furniture and hiding your personal belongings.
