Home should feel like a haven. However, if yours is a place of unease or your life is in a fragile state generally, it’s still possible to cultivate a more emotionally secure and supportive environment, says Anthony Ashworth, a holistic building and vastu feng shui consultant, shaman and teacher. It’s important to note that WellBeing spoke to Ashworth before the COVID-19 outbreak.

A common fear for many at home is crime, with statistics showing it’s particularly prevalent for less powerful groups, such as the elderly, women and ethnic minorities. Fifty-eight per cent of Australians surveyed by Roy Morgan in 2017 felt crime was a growing problem in their community. In reality, data shows crime has dropped.
Constant news and social media on our devices feed such fears, Ashworth says. “We’re constantly being bombarded by the potentials for disaster. As is the human condition, we’re designed to notice negativity more than we are designed to notice things that are actually safe, good and well.”
Be mindful of the negative energies you’re bringing into your home. “Like creates like,” Ashworth warns. “If we bring all this fear into our homes it’s going to generate energy. In some ways, looking at this nastiness on our phones and devices, it sinks it into us, but also into our home.”
