Vastu for a Positive Home
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. Therefore it’s very crucial to understand the link between the healing art of Vastu and our homes in honing positivity and good vibes. Keeping in mind the ‘ready-to-move-in’ houses (where architectural changes are not possible), Vastu expert Ashna Ddhannak, founder and owner of Enlightening Lifestyle, enlists ways you can bring balance to your home.
1. Vastu for the Main Entrance: Doorway
According to Vastu Shastra, the main entrance to a home is not only the entry point for the family, but also for energy.
As per Vastu, the main door should be constructed in a way to ensure that when you step out, you face the north, east or north-east direction
Considered as the “archway to victory and progress in life”, the main door should face north, east or in the north-east direction. It must be constructed in a way to ensure that when you step out, you face the north, east or north-east direction.
The main door to your home should be constructed with superior quality wood. It should tower above the other doors in your house, and look the most appealing.
Avoid placing a fountain, or any other decorative water-centric element, outside the main door.
Avoid placing a shoe rack or dustbin outside the main door.
There shouldn’t be a bathroom near the main door.
Ensure the main entrance is well lit.
Avoid painting the main door black.
Decorate your door with beautiful nameplates and auspicious torans.
Avoid placing animal statues or figurines near the main door.
Ensure your main door opens in a clockwise manner.
2. Vastu for the Meditation Room: Spirituality
Designating a room in the house for meditation and prayers will ensure spiritual growth. It is always important for an individual to introspect and connect to a higher power, says Ddhannak.
