The science of good living

The ancient relics say that vaastu is all about positive and negative forces, which are constantly interacting with each other. If there were more positive energies in the building, the result of such a construction would yield more successful, healthy, wealthy and peaceful life.

Vaastu means a balanced, harmonious and soothing environment that involves balance in ten directions available in the universe.

These directions provide subtle energies, which can be sensed like gravitational, solar, magnetic energy, airflow etc. When we build a structure, the flow and availability of all the energies has to be taken care of. If these energies are not harmonious in the structure, vaastu defects are created and our life becomes difficult. If there is harmony in all energies, we call it positive environment; else we call it negative environment.

Here are some instances of what can happen because of bad vaastu.

Labour disputes: labor disputes are a big tension in industry. If there is any heat generating equipment in the northeast direction, then there are chances of frequent labour disputes.

Legal disputes: lots of time and money is wanted in legal disputes with clients south east is the seat of fire or agnidev, so no water borings or underground water tanks should be placed in this direction as water and fire are and anti elements.

Heavy loses: at times heavy loses are incurred in spite of hard work and many efforts. This occurs if the northeastern side is higher than the south western or if thee are toilets in extreme northeast direction.

Rejection of material: if even after repeated quality checks if the goods produced get rejected, chances are that they are not stored in proper place. if they are stored in the south or southwestern direction it is totally anti vaastu.

Inconsistent business: if deals are failing to mature, then chances are then chances are that the marketing staff is not facing the right direction. They should face the north and there should not be any obstruction in front of them like a wall or cupboard.

East Versus West

Every body knows East is a sunrise direction. Sun gives life to every body, it purifies, cleanses, energizes the whole universe. Yes the east direction is related to prosperity and fulfillment in life. So the question is who does not want to be prosperous? For prosperity, the east should always be open, ventilated, light and clean. If these parameters are not taken care of, then how can you welcome the prosperity from the east direction? If there are maximum openings in the form of windows, doors, ventilators etc., lot of sun energy can enter the premises. The sunlight, which is coming, is full of ultra violet rays, which are very healthy and contain medicinal value. The Indian epics always stress on the early rise for the human being because of the usage for the early sunrays.

The Surya Namskar also works in the same manner so that the body may be fulfilled with the sun energy. The human being can go out in open to get sun energy but the building structure cannot go out. So to reap the benefits of the sun energy try to open the east to the maximum.

Washrooms if given in the east contaminate the solar energy, this direction is considered very pious so don’t make such a use of this direction that it may get dirty. Storerooms and generator rooms are also not allowed in the eastern direction. The total area should be divided in three parts. The first part is the North East, which is a strict no for storerooms and generator rooms. The second part is bang east which again should be spared. The third part is southeast. This part can have the generator and fire works like kitchen and industrial fire etc.

The eastern direction can have a puja room or a study room. Conference rooms in the corporate sector are also a good usage for the east sides. The color combination should be used in lighter and pastel shades like leaf green, cream shades etc.

West is a dark direction. It is a sun set direction. Sun sets in the west direction. The west direction is owned by Lord Varun and ruled by Lord Saturn. Due to the dark nature of this direction violet shade, gray shades and darker shades of colors are suitable to this direction.

West is more powerful at night because of its dark nature. It is activated in the evenings after the sunset. Bedrooms, leisure rooms, rest rooms, family sit outs are best in this direction. West should not have a kitchen it is not prosperous and pious. West direction can have toilets and washrooms. The overhead water tanks are best placed in this direction. This gives weight to this direction. The owner of this direction the lord Varun that symbolizes water. Avoid the main entries from this direction as we discussed that the corresponding entry from the east should be used.

The extensions in the west are not good and it should be made regularly shaped. It gives delays in the life. There should not be any sumps in the western directions. Water tanks, which are under ground, borings, swimming pools etc., are not at all allowed in the western directions.

Always try to make your back towards the western directions. In this way you will always be facing the east directions, which is very prosperous. Televisions etc. should be kept like this that you are forced to face the east direction.

The western walls should be made heavy and strong. The windows, openings should be 50% in comparison to eastern directions. The more strong walls in the west, the more you will be happy. Stronger walls in the west stop the leakage of the subtle energies.

Furniture weights should be made more in the west in comparison to the eastern parts. The balance should show a good difference between east and west. You can make a rockier in the western part as it will make it heavy. Big and heavy trees can be planted in the western directions.

Beware if you are going to select a plot and if it is west facing take care that it should not face a garden or open spaces. If you have a western direction to face for your structure you should not make the main entry from the southwestern corner. It will act as a very strong enemy. The main gate should always bring good luck so never make a main gate in the southwest.

West Walls should not be studded with looking mirrors; this will make the west wall bigger. The family pictures can be hung on the west walls so that it may receive the good energies of east.

Achieve Peace in Life Using Vaastu

The essence of true happiness is peace in our life. How we see and feel peace? Balance and harmony in all aspects of life can be defined as peace. The limits of our expectations and the power to access the locker of results is in our own hands. We will analyze how we can see peace in our life and what could be other reasons.

Peace of mind: Human mind is controlled by the brain. It has two parts left and right brain. One side sees with the logical reasoning behind every decision and the other side deals with emotional reasons. When these two parts come in clash with each other for a decision, our mind is deprived of peace. Now we discuss the triggers of bad vaastu liable for unrest in mind. Check if you are sleeping with head pointing towards the north direction? This direction has a tremendous flow of North Pole energy, which disturbs our mind while we are at sleep. Another point to check is overhead stress; this means you should not have a beam over your head. Hidden beams over the false ceilings are also a point of worry. So do not sit or sleep under a beam, get peace of mind.

Peace at Heart: Generally heartaches arise due to jealousies, betrayals, failures and disappointments. Unrest in heart says you are not happy with life but we try to find the causes and triggers from vaastu angle. Tight and closed spaces give you feeling of loneliness, a closed door to the outer world. Try to remove the unnecessary things and make the area clean and lighter to give ease to heart. Check if you have more opening towards the southwestern parts of your place, more windows and doors in comparison to northeastern sides invite feeling of depression and anxiety. These openings create leakage of energies, which give you low feelings. The accumulation and contentment part is deprived and hence we are deprived of peace at heart.

Peace at body: Body pains, medicine boxes, hospital trips, huge medical bills acknowledge that one is not having peace at body. Again we talk about the subtle energies that in what form they come in your house. Are these energies negative or positive? What is the amount they come in, these life force energies sufficient for your healthy living. Toilets and kitchens placed at the source directions of energies spoil their positive essence. Irregular shapes of plots and building gives a cut to some important directions and hence stops the flow of energies. All these defects give us unrest in body.

Peace with your Soul Mate: Life becomes cool, interesting and looks very rosy if your life partner is computable with you. The vaastu reasons for non-compatibility may be wrong placements of your bedrooms; if you occupy the fire directions you may feel the heat of clashes. Internal elements in the room like pictures, the color of the room and the entry for the room also matter. The placement of water sources in the fire directions may also become a reason. The placement of kitchen in wrong directions and the internal settings of gas stove and water sinks could also be a culprit for unrest in your married life. Correct the defects of vaastu, apply its peaceful laws.

Peace with your father: Purest form of relationship, but in this modern time, needs answers, clarifications, equal amount of give and takes. The ego strings attached to this relation some times gives bad music. Now we come to the vaastu part. Check your building structure. If north is higher than south you may be uncomfortable in this relation ship. Another big reason may be occupying the authoritative positions in the structure. The southwestern positions occupied by the son gives him dominating attitudes and bring a clash between the father and son.
