For a house to become a home, it needs to radiate the right kind of energy. According to a number of traditional beliefs, each home comes with its own energy type. A person dwelling in a house comes under the influence of a specific energy field, which in turn influences him in one way or the other.
Vastu Shastra is an ancient method of living harmoniously with nature. The core principle of Vastu is to create a balance in the science of direction that combines all the five elements of nature: air, water, earth, space and fire with the sole purpose to find mental solace and have the opportunity to enhance health, wealth, good luck and prosperity.
All the eight zones or directions in your house i.e. North, North East, East, South East, South, South West, West and North West play an integral role and if any zone is not constructed properly while designing the space, the house owners will feel the negative effects of the imbalanced energies in their lives.
Therefore, it’s very crucial to use the healing science of Vastu for our homes in radiating positivity and good vibes. Vastu (the traditional Indian science of architecture) is also the most important factor for many while buying or renting a house, reveals a study conducted by MLDL.
Deiptii Taurannii, Vastu Shastra & Feng Shui Expert, Founder of Vastu in Dubaii shares tips on how to identify directions in your house correctly to attract positive energy and enjoy life’s abundant blessings:
North Zone
It is considered the Vastu zone of money and opportunities. An imbalance in the form of a negative toilet, overhead tank or stair case in this zone will hamper your financial growth. Installing water fountains or placing a money plant consolidated at one place creeper in this direction will enhance the positivity and prosperity for the house holders. The living energy of the plants get rid of all the negativity too. Avoid fire shades in the North zone of your house. In case you do have toilets in the North, place a bowl of Alum and a bowl sea salt close to the sink and replace it weekly.
To attain good fortune, a wealth bowl in the North direction of the house will do wonders. A wealth bowl should consist of three Chinese Feng Shui coins tied with red ribbon in a crystal bowl, along with a few grains of rice. The bowl should be wider on the top than at its base and should be kept hidden inside a cupboard.
North East
NE is like the think tank of the house and well-being of children. To enhance the energies in the North East direction, place an aquarium with clean water. Fishes, besides being beautiful, are known to attract financial benefits. Keeping an aquarium at home not only brings financial stability but also creates a calm atmosphere. A total number of eight fishes (red or golden) and one black coloured fish. Living room or passage area is an ideal place to keep the aquarium. It is not advisable to keep the aquarium in bedroom or the kitchen in the North East zone. It is extremely important to protect the NE for everything one aspires:, health, wealth, growth & prosperity.
East & South East
East is the direction where the solar energy that is required for life, enters in the house. It is important to safe guard this energy by not having any negative heavy weight structure. Keeping green plants and wooden accessories will enhance the positivity in the East & SE.
South Zone
South signify “Fame” in Feng Shui. This zone of the house should be enhanced with fire elements. You can display your awards and certificates here, burn red candles, place red vases, or accessorize it with shades of red, orange, purple, pink or bright yellow. These elements will help you bring your efforts to fruition and get you the desired fame. It is advisable to avoid shades of water and metal in this direction.
South West
The right enhancement of the South West direction can give a boost to your financial status as well as give you confidence, health, wealth, name, and fame in life. A master bedroom in a home, offices for the chairman, directors, and supervisors of a business are most effective in the South West. Protect the stability of the house or business by keeping a safe at 225-degree SW, with the safe door facing the North. If there is a toilet or heating source in this direction, there will be cash flow problems and depletion of savings. Never have the children or daughter’s bedroom in the SW. SW has the ruling energy, anyone sitting or sleeping in the SW will develop the urge to rule. Also SW has multiplying energy, keeping currency / money in a red vertical envelope with the lid open inside the Iron safe attracts money and strengthens stability. Avoid mirrors or underground water in the SW, it causes a lot of delays and loss of money.
West & NW
This is the metal area of your house, keeping all metal artifacts will strengthen stability. NW is excellent for guest room or a daughter who is of a marriageable age.
Apart from the above, you should ensure that your space is always clutter-free. There is proper ventilation and adequate natural lighting to bring in positive energy into the house and, with it, the flow of money.
The science of Vastu is beyond just the do’s and don’ts, and it is advisable to reach out to a qualified Vastu & Feng Shui practitioner for careful analysis and intuitive solutions.
