Family is the ultimate foundation of life. It is through our family that we learn who we are, and what our place is in the world. No matter the situation, we can always rely on our family for unconditional love and support. We share our successes, failures, joys, and sorrows, and this connection is invaluable. Even when family relationships become strained, it is important to remember that the bonds we share are strong, and that nothing can break them.
With this in mind, it is essential to nurture and maintain these connections, so that they remain resilient in times of difficulty.
Importance of Vastu Friendly Home
In order to ensure a healthy and happy relationship between family members, it is important to ensure that the Vastu defects in the house are eliminated. Vastu defects like having water bodies in the north east, improper placement of doors and windows, etc. can lead to disharmony among family members.
Vastu also suggests that the south west zone should be kept free of clutter and distractions as it is responsible for the relationship between the husband-wife and the parent-child. Similarly, the north-west zone should be kept clutter-free and proper attention should be given to it as it has the power to strengthen the relationships between the family members.
By implementing these Vastu tips and taking care of the 16 zones in the house, the vibes and energies will be balanced and the family members will be able to enjoy a harmonious and loving relationship.
Main Entrance
Placing an idol of Lord Ganesha or hanging a Sri Yantra emblem on the wall opposite the main door can be a great way to invite positive energy into your home. Additionally, if you have a fountain or other decorative water element outside the main door, it's best to move it indoors as water bodies can act as an annihilator of positive energy. Consider adding some other decorative elements that can bring in positive vibes and energy.
A yellow door mat is the perfect way to make a statement at the entrance of the house. It is said to improve the relationship between family members and make communication between them smoother. For an even more calming effect, you can even consider adding yellow curtains or painting the wall in a warm yellow hue. This will help control the anger and impulsive behavior of the individuals living in the house.
Doors and Windows
To ensure that your home is inviting in positive energy, it's important to check the direction of your doors and make sure they open inwards. This can be done easily by a carpenter if the doors are opening outwards. Additionally, make sure the hinges on your doors are oiled regularly to ensure they don't creak, and seal any gaps in the doors as soon as you notice them.
It's also important to make sure the number of doors in your home is an even number, not ending in zero. If you find that the number is odd, you can remedy this by blocking a door or two with an almirah or a screen, as this will not be counted as an open door. If you need an extra boost of positive energy, you can also put a copper strip across the threshold or lintel of the door.
Directions for Rooms
Bedroom plays a crucial role for the relationship of a husband and wife. To ensure a strong bond between the couple, it is important to keep their bedroom in the south direction. This will ensure that the couple will be able to avoid frequent arguments and will promote harmony between them.
Additionally, it is believed that placing a pair of love birds in the southwest corner of the bedroom will have a positive impact on the couple's married life. With this in mind, couples should strive to make sure their bedroom is in the south direction to promote a healthy and loving relationship.
Family Pictures
To create a calm and cool surrounding in the house, you can add some plants and flowers to the balcony or the garden. This will provide a pleasant atmosphere in the house and will also help in keeping the air quality healthy. Additionally, you can hang a family picture in the south west wall of the home as it symbolizes the bond of love and affection between family members.
This will make the atmosphere of the home much more peaceful and loving.
Pooja Room
Creating a pooja room in your home can be a beautiful way to bring positivity and good vibes into your space. It is important to keep in mind the ideal location for a pooja room, which is in the east or northeast section of your home, with the mandir on the east wall.
If you don’t have a designated pooja room in your home, you can still incorporate a small altar or shelf in the east or northeast section of your home. It is also important to be mindful of the direction that your idols and photographs are facing in the pooja room, which should be westward. During prayer, it is ideal to face north or east, and if your pooja room is inside your bedroom, it should be on the east wall and have a curtain in front that is kept drawn when the mandir is not in use. In this case, you should also make sure to sleep with your head pointing eastward.
It is important to keep in mind that red should be avoided in the Puja room of the house. Red paints and posters should not be used as they can disrupt the harmony of the relationships in the home. It is best to use colors that promote a harmonious and calming atmosphere in the Puja room.
Plants Based on Vastu
Green plants can help to create a nurturing and peaceful atmosphere in the home, making it a place where family members can bond and build relationships. North-facing areas of the house are especially auspicious for planting green trees and plants, as this will help bring positive energy and foster trust and love within the family.
Bedrooms
To ensure good fortune and positive health, it is best to avoid placing your bed directly under a beam or opposite the bedroom door. Instead, move your bed to either side of the beam, and away from the door. Furthermore, it is advisable to have the head of the bed pointing east or south. This will make sure that the energy in the room is aligned with your wellbeing.
No Leaking Taps
To ensure harmony, peace and balance are maintained in your home, it is important to regularly check all taps for any leaks and make sure to get any faulty taps fixed immediately. This can help prevent an outflow of energy and keep the positive energy in your home.
Lighting and Photographs
Vastu also suggests that it's important to use the right kind of lighting in all the rooms in your home. Natural lighting is preferable, but if you need to use artificial lighting, make sure it is bright and cheerful. Avoid using too much artificial lighting, as it can have a negative effect on the atmosphere in your home.
Additionally, make sure to keep all the rooms in your house neat and tidy, without any clutter. This is important according to Vastu, as clutter can lead to mental and emotional distress. Finally, when it comes to showcasing family photographs, the best place to hang them is on the south-western walls. It's believed that this helps strengthen the bonds between family members.
Furniture and Mirrors
To further optimise energy flow within your home, it's important to place mirrors in the north-east part of each room. This should be done carefully, as it will increase the energy in that area. Additionally, keep heavy furniture in the southwest corner of each room as much as possible, and if this isn't an option, make sure to raise the base of the furniture 1-3 inches off the floor. Placing a bright light in the center of the room can also help to improve the flow of energy.
