Find a Strong Bed Location — Make sure your bed is in a powerful position with a headboard. If your bed doesn't have a headboard, tack a beach towel up or something else that could resemble a headboard. The bed should be against a solid wall with no doors or windows. The most important Feng Shui element here is to make sure the door is not aligned with the foot of the bed.
Add Symbols of Protection — The traditional Feng Shui symbols of protection are Foo Dogs, and they are typically set outside the front door, facing away from the house. If you don't have Foo Dogs, a toy soldier or small lion in a plant by your front door, facing away from the house, will work. Use something that is a symbol of protection for you.
Be Aware of Where You Sit — Think about the strongest part of the room when you enter it and try to sit there. Your back should be against the wall with no windows or door behind you. If you do have a door behind you, position a mirror in front of you so that you can see what comes in and out of your room.
Free Your Energy by Forgiving — While this is an incredibly difficult thing to do after surviving a violent crime, harboring anger can eat away at your energy and spirit. Try writing a letter, praying, or doing something that will help you to forgive. Letting go often feels like a weight has been lifted and your energy can become positive again.
Start a Helpful People Box — A small silver box (it can just be silver in color), preferably with a red lining, should be positioned in the front right corner of your home. Your helpful people box should identify the people you need help from and what they can do to help you. Similar to "the power of positive thinking" or "manifesting your destiny", a helpful people box means you are focusing on a putting energy into connecting with positive, helpful people.
