Make your home energy efficient ( Article published in DNA newspaper on 27.11.2010 written by Nitien Parmar, Vastu consultant, Mumbai)
Energy keeps changing every minute and due to this the solar energy and magnetic fields are found to be having a strong influence on our environment and physical body. over a period of time, it is quite common to accumulate aura, which could contribute towards creating blockages and stagnation not just in your personal life but even affect your business and career.

the human aura
we are exposed to much higher levels of magnetic fields emanating from electronic gadgets, computers and our compulsive use of mobile phones. all of these have a strong influence on our energy fields and aura surrounding us. the aura of a person is of immense significance to the person's well being, especially good health and mental peace. the ground values of Vaastu Shastra are not based on myths. even science proves that our surroundings are based on two aspects, which are emitted by different auras; one is positive and the other is negative. this aura is nothing but the "energy field" around a person, which may vary on a daily basis, depending on the person's activity, mental state, and immediate surroundings.

energizing living spaces
any new thing enters in our life only when we create space for it. only when we re-energize our living space will we have the benefit of new beginnings along with success, prosperity, and peace. vaastu mitigates such obstacles through periodic re-alignment of your environment, which ensures that any kind of energy blockages are identified during the process of Vaastu corrections and corrective measures adapted and fine-tuned. energy efficient techniques are a dynamic way to energizing your home and environment with positive vibes.

energy efficient techniques
construction of flats as per Vaastu is not that simple. the number of flats in one complex with a common wall makes it difficult for builders to make them vaastu compliant. from a buyer point of view, harmony (Vaastu) and beauty (architecture) literally play a major theme while taking a decision for the new home or business place. whether a person buys a home or a business location, it is immensely valuable to know the vibrations of the property being purchased. a buyer should focus on the properties that will bring tranquillity, beneficial energy, abundance, and good prosperity.

demolition is not necessary
in 75 percent of the existing house or business places, there is no need for major demolition or reconstruction for Vaastu corrections. the beauty of Vaastu is that you can benefit by incorporating minor changes, which make major changes in your life.
there is a general opinion that vastu correction cannot take place without breakages or demolition, but it is not the actual case. one need not do major structural changes. though Vaastu application is extremely easy in the planning stage of any construction, yet fully constructed premises can also be modified and tuned using the vaastu techniques.

applying vaastu techniques
in modern living, where the environment at a macro level is highly influenced by many factors beyond our control, micro level energy correction done with empowered remedies can effectively bring in and retain health, wealth, harmony and happiness in the life.
if rightfully observed, the art of Vaastu can do wonders to the ambiance and aura of your home and office. it can strip off any unfavorable vibrations that block the natural course of enthusiasm and tranquillity in the home.

during construction and renovation
Copper and crystal, bricks can be installed at mother walls as well as in the walls of individual rooms to make premises free from vaastu defects.
Holy water and vaastu energizers can be installed in the flooring at the northeast corner to enhance water element.
Copper pyramid arrows can be used for virtual shifting of wrong placement when there is no possibility of a physically shift.
Copper pyramid clockwise arrow can be fixed on anti clock opening of the door as a virtual correction.
Various crystal angels can be used for the health, relationship or financial matters.
Wooden symbol pyramids can be fixed for more south and south-west opening at the premises.
Colors are also used to shift/attract/push the energy as per the requirement and direction of each room.

House pollution -Get protection from Negative Energy-Negative people- Negative surrounding

House pollution- Negative Energy

You have shifted into a new home, and within a few days you do not feel restful in your place, you don’t sleep well, you find disturbing family life. One definite reason could be house pollution due to the existence of negative energy.

Even in the most positive of the house, negative energy can gather. There are so many ways in which negative energy gathers or is generated in your place. A visit to negative sites, interacting with others can pick up garbage in your energy field and bring it home. Whatever the reasons, negative energy gathers over time and needs to be cleansed.

The Effects of Negative Energy

It brings frequent illness
It generates stress and anger
It brings sadness and depression
It can be the cause of violence and tragic events
Frequent obstacles in career and business
Negative Thoughts of others
Negative people can and do influence positive people. Negative person's aura can drain the positive person's aura & Energy. The positive person will feel it when it happens - they may feel more exhausted, tired or weaker, their mood may lose some sparkle, or they may get a feeling of uneasiness or anxiety.

An unbalanced person that constantly thinks negative thoughts about you or wishes you ill can cause you problems. This is especially a problem with jealous people.

You will find such people in form of few relatives, friends, neighbors or competitors. You will notice that every time you got around them, you would feel sick or have bad luck (evil eye effect). These people by their words always had something negative to say about you. They would constantly criticize you or tell you why you could not do a particular thing you had planned to do. Discontinuing contact with these people will solve your problems. Of course, you have to spend some time with unpleasant people. They could even be people you have a personal relationship and you love. However, you have no obligation to take part in their negative thinking, and you can reduce your exposure.
If this isn’t an option, try carrying a piece of black tourmaline to absorb the negativity whenever you must be around these people or speak to them. Be sure to clean it periodically to remove any negativity it may have absorbed. Also remember that your negative thoughts towards others will be returned to you, same as anything else you do.

Negative people can and do influence positive people. Psychics can actually see this in the interaction of auras where the negative person's aura seems to drain the positive person's aura of its energy and light. The positive person will feel it when it happens - they may feel more exhausted, tired or weaker, their mood may lose some sparkle, or they may get a feeling of uneasiness or anxiety.
Negative Energy From Our own thoughts

Everything vibrates. Everything! Scientists have discovered that at a molecular level, everything is vibrating energy.

Thoughts, attitude, and feelings are also a form of energy. Thoughts & attitude creates feelings, and the feelings create a correlating vibration. Like attracts like. So our thoughts & attitude with corresponding feelings attract to us (whether we are aware of it or not) other thoughts, people, and situations that are in harmony with our vibration. At times, don't we all produce our own share of negative energy? It comes from primarily one place - our thoughts.

Negative vibrations (negative thoughts and feelings) = negative situations in our lives.
Positive vibrations (positive thoughts and feelings) = positive situations in our lives

We can consciously choose the images we hold in our minds. The image we choose stimulates thoughts and feelings and our vibration response, creating the environment to attract that "image" to us. So to attract more of what we want in life, we focus our thoughts and feelings on what we want to create, imagining what we want to create is already in our lives. This results in a correlating vibration and attracts that which is in harmony.

Like attracts like. We are like magnets. We call into our lives that upon which we focus.

Blocking the negative energy with Vastu Shastra

One of the most important factors in your success is your environment, the people you surround yourself with. House with a positive aura is better able to withstand negative influences. Vastu compliant home is said to be in good health and work as a strong protective barrier. Such houses are less susceptible to drains on their energy and vitality. If you want to have a stronger, more positive aura for home as well as for yourself, make your house vibrating with vastu energy.

Purifying a space is an easiest and effective way to clear the space from any negative energy thus making the space more welcoming. You can use black tourmaline rock, singing bowl or Tibetan OM bell for the energy corrections. In countries like India, Egypt, China, Turkey, Australia, and North America people wear protective amulets for evil eye protection.

Space clearing basically removes the negative energy within one’s surrounding. Since everything in our life—from our health to our prosperity to our relationships —is highly affected by this vital flow of energy, it is of utmost importance that we keep this energy field around us clean and clear. Unwanted energy in our homes and businesses as a kind of toxic waste that just floats around creating negative effects on the quality of life.
