Pregnancy is an exciting time for women with many eagerly working to prepare for the new addition to their family. For pregnant women, the affect of pregnancy, upon the body, requires a change, many times, diet and lifestyle so as to encourage the proper fetal development. When pregnant, it is a woman’s home that must provide the safe haven in which to escape from the stresses of daily life and provide an avenue in which to improve overall health, boosting prenatal health and encouraging health pregnancy outcomes.

When pregnant, a woman’s physical and emotional health may be improved with the application of simple techniques commonly used in the practice of Feng Shui; adding aromatherapy, the use of pure stones and crystals, the use of color and even sound, to improve the overall Chakra energy, thereby reducing common stress and complications associated with pregnancy and prenatal care.

To reduce the risk of prenatal complications, and boost the health of both the pregnant woman and her unborn child, the home should be modified to make essential repairs so as to encourage positive energy and Chakra stability. First, it is imperative to ensure all electrical systems within the home are functioning properly. This includes areas where frayed wires or improperly functioning outlets may be. Any areas of the home in which electrical supply is not consistent and safe or the air is not ventilated properly, is believed to impair Chakra energy, thereby increasing the risks for prenatal complications.

In addition to these home repairs, strategically placing furniture through the house will also work to boost prenatal health during pregnancy. For example, the home should be free of excessive clutter and furniture which is considered unstable, especially in and around the bed for the pregnant woman. Add bright lighting to the bedroom and, throughout the home, consider using water fountains and fish tanks as an added relaxation element.

In addition to these necessary home repairs and modifications, in an effort to reduce, and prevent, complications to the pregnancy, add home décor to include colorful rooms, removing any furniture or wall colors that do not correspond to the positive fetal development. The colors which promote and encourage healthy pregnancy, most commonly, include red, green, indigo and light blue.

In aromatherapy, purchase essential oil scents in bergamot, fennel, jasmine, marjoram, rosemary and chamomile as all are believed to be powerful scents to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Decorate the home in precious stones including carnelian, citrine, smoky quartz and pink tourmaline. Using these natural products will improve your overall physical health, including the physical health of the entire family.

As with most health care, there is a body-mind connection which both exacerbates the condition as well as works in healing and promoting health. In the case of fertility and pregnancy, the colors, scent and even layout of your home can both work to complicate the pregnancy but can also improve overall prenatal health and birth just by using a few simple techniques commonly used in Feng Shui and, thereby, improving Chakras.
