Does Your Home Vastu Support your being Healthy?
Good health is the foremost source for leading a happy life. In Gujarati, we have an ancient saying 'Keeping Good Health is the first symbol of Happiness.' If you are not keeping good health, you would be deprived of joy even if you possess every means of comfort and luxary. With the advancement of the hectic urban life, the importance of keeping physically fit is becoming even more and more crucial.
For keeping good health, besides following a healthy life-style, we need to be dwelling in such a house that supports us in maintaining sound health. This can be examined in two ways - one, by way of avoiding conflicting energy streams and two, by way of establishing synergic arrangements in and around our home. With the Vastu principles, we can ensure that the home accommodates us in harmony with the cosmic environmental forces. This is certainly much more than the issues concerning good ventilation and ergonomics. It is important that the vastu of the home takes care of regeneration and healing of our body and soul rather than just limit itself with only rest, protection and comfort.
Energy Drain
In addition to the bad habbits and sedentary lifestyle , there are other factors which also are equally responsible for the poor health. Your home environment could be a key element in the health condition of the family. Make your home clutter free. Clutter is defined as unorganized things you do not love, that are unfinished and take up space within your home & life. Clutter free environment makes you stress free. However, there are a number of vastu techniques that you can use to stop the energy drain.
Good colours and lightings
Colour has a powerful effect on your mood & behavior. Each color is an expression of the certain kind of energy. Color is able not only to affect our mood, but also has an influence at our health. If you have too dark colour in your home then you could suffer from depression, allergies & colds.
Lighting transforms a space.The use and moderation of light, be it natural or artificial, is important in vastu , as it influences and defines a homes atmosphere. It also has a powerful effect on our personalities and can depress, stimulate or relax us. Rooms that are poorly lit are depressing and can strain the eyes. Create a more restful environment with lights, and rooms become soothing and comfortable, helping us to unwind from outside stresses in a calming and nurturing environment.
Check at your health sector?
The health corner of the home is located in the east sector, a direction of sun – a vital energy force. Is there a bathroom/toilet there? Is there a store room ? If so, you will want to make it as clean and clear as possible. Use of rock salt, crystal , sun painting and colours in this area can effectively neutralize the negatives of the wrong placement.
Is your bed room is located in proper direction ?
The bedroom is one of the critical areas of the house. Make sure the bed is positioned correctly and in the positive direction. Eliminate views to the bathroom or toilet or mirror or water feature. Clear off surfaces regularly, making the room as clean and clear as possible. Make this room as healthful as possible.
If you suffer from insomnia, it is a good idea to look at your bedroom and determine how you can improve its energy flow in order to promote a good night’s sleep. Some common causes of sleep problems include too many mirrors in the bedroom, colors that are too bright instead of muted or objects that tend to create "poor energy ," and objects stored under the bed, which generate stagnant, negative energy that is absorbed by your body when you’re in bed.
Are there health symbols around your house?
According to vastu & even feng shui, certain objects and symbols promote longevity and good health. These includes sun, deer, bamboo plants, crystals, fountains etc. Even pictures that feature the elements of vastu are considered to be auspicious health symbols.
Some people puts fish tanks or water fountains either for decoration or suggested by consultant. Make certain you have clean fish tanks or fountains. Dirty water equates to poor health and vitality, poor energy and it can affect your finances, too!
