by

A calm and quiet indoor ambience puts a balmy touch on your inner self. It not only absorbs your tiredness but also helps you enjoy a complete peace of mind.

Hectic work schedule – day in and day out – takes a toll on our body and psyche and the problem needs to be addressed as sooner as possible. Keep in mind that everyone of us, whether office-goers, homemakers or students, is busy with some kind of work and many come under the grip of stress, more or less. If allowed to continue or gone out of control, stress eats you from within and as a result, negatively affects your behavioural pattern, professional progress, mental peace and your relation with your close ones. Do you know vaastu can be a way out of these troubles?

Read the article to know about how vastu tips can restore peace and calmness in your home and help you enjoy family bliss with your loved ones.

Ø  Make sure there is plenty of light at your entrance. A well-illuminated entrance – naturally or artificially – floods your home and its inhabitants with a strong sense of positivity.

Ø  A clean and clutter-free entrance attracts positivity to your home. Wash your entryway with rock salt mixed water every day as it prevents negativity from creeping into your home.

Ø  Vaastu shastra suggests that one should have his or her kitchen built in the southeast direction since Agni (The Lord of Fire) prevails there. North-west direction is also a good position for the purpose, in case it’s not possible to set up your kitchen in the most preferred direction.

Ø  Remember that you should never organize your kitchen in the north, south-west or north-east direction of your house as three angles might ruin your home ambience and rust your family relationships.

Ø  Place all fire-related cooking appliances – for example, ovens, gas stoves, microwaves, cylinders, toasters – in the south-east area of your kitchen.

Ø  Never place your cooking appliances and wash basins on the same platform or parallel to each other as water and fire are elements in contrast.

Ø  Heavy furniture may be installed in the south-west or west direction of your living room. The south-east zone of your living room is ideal for placing electronic devices.

Ø   Do you know some colours not only sooth our eyes but also calm our mind? Choose such colour palettes for your living space to draw positivity. Choice of colors depend upon the direction of each room, depending upon the purpose of the room. white, beige and cream are perfect when one is unsure of directions or colors with respect to the direction. 

Remember that following some useful tips will bring a dramatic and drastic change in your home ambience by helping you tame your stress level and avoid throwing tantrums that create nothing but chaos and confusion.

Apply Basic Vaastu for New Home to Bring Peace & Prosperity

by

Your home is where your happiness begins! And when you aspire your newly built home to attract wealth and positive energies then there cannot be a better idea than applying basic Vaastu principles to the design of the house. A home that complies with Vastu tends to improve health, luck, success, peace and prosperity.

Enhance The Energy of Your Home With Vastu Shastra

There are four key areas of the house that you need to focus on for experiencing the true rewards of Vaastu and these are:

  1. Entrance

The essence of Vastu begins from the entrance of the house. Hence, do make it a point that:

  • Entrance remains well-lit always, and if you have an empty wall outside then place an idol of Lord Ganesha.
  • Shoe rack should never be kept outside of the main door, instead place them inside the house.
  • Black colour should be avoided when you are planning to choose an ideal shade for main door. Apart from this, decorative items such as water fountains should be placed in alignment to the main door.
  1. Living Room

The living room is where you get to spend quality time with family members and friends and for a well-planned Vaastu consider having:

  • A beautiful wind chime decorated with metal balls, as the soothing sound of chime destroys negative energy around the space.
  • Paintings that depict fishes, water, free-flowing river and other such nature inspired elements. In addition, placing an aquarium filled with active, healthy and adorable fishes in the north-east corner is also a great option.
  1. Puja or Meditation Room

Every home should have a specific area dedicated to puja or meditation. This room ensures that you are able to relax, unwind and connect with your inner self. Here,

  • Paint the walls using pleasing shades of colors such as beige, yellow or white. These mild toned colors provide welcoming and pleasant ambience.
  • Remove negative energy by lighting incense sticks or diyas everyday in the morning and evening.
  1. Bedroom

When you want the bedroom to exude peace of optimism ensure that:

  • Mirrors placed in the bedroom do not reflect the bed
  • Earthy and bright colors on the walls can have a positive impact on the body and mind
  • Bed is positioned in south-west direction and when you sleep your head should be pointed towards west.

Your new home Vaastu struggles will come to an end when you have an experienced professional for help. So, why wait anymore? Contact Dr. Padmaja at padmaja@vaastuforartofliving.com and you can get her detailed Vastu in-sights on http://www.vaastuforartofliving.com

Simple Vastu Tricks To Boost The Positive Energy Flow In Your Home

by

These days everyone looks at buying vastu compliant homes. There is a lot of power in Vastu shashtra and if you are looking to boost the positive energy in your home, here are some of the ways by which you can do so.

The entrance

The entrance to your home or the main door is the harbinger of positive energy. So, it should face north, east or the north-east direction. Further, make it a point to use the best quality of wood in making it and it should look the best out of all doors in your home. Using torans and nameplates can be highly beneficial and make sure that it opens in a clockwise manner.

Get rid of clutter

Having unwanted clutter at home is known to create distractions and disrupts the flow of positive energy. So, you should get rid of broken, cracked and even chopped things. Also, get rid of cobwebs and other dirt as this damages the positive energy flow in the home. Cleaning the home with salt water is also known to strip the home of negativity and bring in positive vibes.

The décor elements

We all love to jazz up our home with the right décor elements. Vastu too encourages having pictures but the theme should be positive. Do not have pictures that depict poverty, terror or even loneliness. Pictures of nature are welcome.

Your bedroom

The bedroom is an important element. So, try to have the bedroom in the south-west direction with the bed being placed in the south-west corner and your head should face west. Avoid temples and even painting which have fountains in it inside the bedroom as it is known to lead to emotional outbursts and that also often. Using aromatic oils can help in adding a sense of calmness.

With these simple tips, you can improve the positivity in your home by leaps and bounds.

• As per the vaastu rules the garden should be in West or North side, within borders of compound.
• Each garden area has association with an element according to vastu expert in Dubai. The southwest area is the earth creating a force to sustain and ground. The water stands for the northeast area and it helps with flourishing of the flora, the fire is for southeast part and it keeps plant free from diseases. The northwest part represents the air and it promotes cross-pollination and finally the central area represents space and it increases positive energy flow nourishing other elements.
• Positive energy generated from northwest direction with eastern solar energies encourages stability and harmony as per vaastuforartofliving.com.

Is an Imbalance in Panchtattva Resulting in Global Warming?

by

The entire universe, our body and even our homes are made up of the panchtattva namely fire, water, space, earth and air and it is the balance of these elements that ushers happiness, wealth and prosperity into our lives. It’s important to understand that vaastu shastra revolves around the principle of harmony and balancing of these elements.

Any imbalance of the panchtattva results in unhappy situations and problems in our lives, both mentally and physically. For instance, water, as an element is related to conceptualization of fresh ideas, thoughts and clarity. An imbalance of this element can cause a lot of disturbances in our lives. This is exactly why underground water tanks should never be located in the southern portion of the house. Similarly, the air element is associated with growth and movement and the fire element is associated with money and recognition. Similarly, the air element is associated with growth and movement and the fire element is associated with money and recognition. In fact, one of the major causes of global warming is the imbalance in the five elements.

According to a study conducted by Dr. Padmaja, global warming is essentially an imbalance of the panchtattva or the five elements. She further reinstates that the depleting ozone layer is causing an imbalance of the space element whereas our planet’s rising temperature as well as the harmful radiations that are entering the earth, are all happening owing to the imbalance in the fire element.  Her research has also helped her in concluding that the rising level of the sea water is a result of the imbalance of the water element whereas the growing menace of pollution is a result of the imbalance in the air element. Apart from this, the rampantly occurring natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunami and droughts as well as flooding are a result of the imbalance of the earth element.

Thus, there’s no denying the fact that when each of these elements are arranged appropriately in a given space, it automatically attracts positive energy, wealth and happiness. This is precisely why we must focus on balancing the vaastu of our home or office. Vaastu, when done in the right manner, can help us in creating a healthy environment as well as surroundings. In fact, by simply altering the vaastu of our home, we can detoxify our homes and attract positive vibes from all directions.

Vastu principles to design a swimming pool

by

The modern lifestyle emphasizes on planning an architecture that brings prosperity and happiness to the inhabitants. Swimming pools are no exception to be laid out according to the vastu principles. This appropriately qualifies it to be a place of cleansing and purity.

Planning out a swimming pool

Location

Preferred direction is north, north-east or east. However, central location should definitely be avoided, as it acts as the absorber of energy.

Delineating

Proper gates not only add detail to the entire structure, it also avoids any negative energy to enter the area. Further, tall boundary around it promotes energy cluttering.

Shape

A perfectly defined shape like rectangle, circle or square creates an even space for energy balance. An irregular pool creates hotspots of energy, thus making the entire construction irrelevant.

Slope

It should slope downward towards the N, E or NE  direction to ward off the unwanted energies. Regular cleaning and maintenance constantly disperses accumulated energies.

It is advisable to consult a vastu expert for adding any other feng shui article to the area, like paintings, crystals and stones. This enhances the essence of planning out a personalized area that ensures soothing vibrations.
