Spiritual Corner of Your House - Prayer area

 Spiritual Corner of your house - Prayer area

Wisdom from the Banks of Mother Ganga by - H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji

"I always say, 'If you never want to be cornered in your life, have a spiritual corner in your heart and in your home.'

We spend so much time and energy designing and decorating our rooms and offices. We have beautiful bookcases for our books and photographs. We have spacious closets for our clothes. If our body is tired we can get into bed or take a hot bath. But, where is the place for our hearts, our minds, and our emotions? Where is the place where we can go to be replenished and rejuvenated?

That place should be the spiritual corner.  If we live in a large, spacious home we might be able to dedicate a full room as the 'prayer room' 'meditation room' or 'breathing room.'  However, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have that much space. The quantity of space is not what is relevant; only the quality is.

The spiritual corner should be a place filled with any and all objects that bring peace to your mind and heart. If you worship God in any particular form, you can have images of that form. If you do not worship God in form, then you can put things there that connects you to God spiritually, such as flowers or candles.

The spiritual corner should be kept only for spiritual practice – for meditation, Japa, puja, introspection, relaxation, breathing, silence, etc. Over time, you will see that the vibrational energy there will come to be different from the rest of the house. The place will be 'charged.' As soon as you enter the room or sit in that corner, your entire nervous system will undergo not only emotional and psychological changes but physiological changes as well. The energy will be calm, serene, and tender."

Plants to Increase Wealth and Prosperity at Home & Office

One way to create a healthier environment in your home is to use plants. There are many plants that can help reduce the levels of CO2 in your home. Placing certain plants in your home or office can increase wealth and prosperity.

Also, they can improve your focus, reduce anxiety, and lift your mood.

There is evidence that certain plants emit positive ions into the air, which can positively affect mood and promote feelings of contentment. Additionally, these plants can help improve your financial situation by increasing your luck and attracting wealth and abundance into your life.

Productivity in office

While working in an office with a view of a lush green garden or a home with a variety of colorful blooming flowers will make you more productive, working in an office with a view of a bleak grey concrete wall will make you less productive.

What you view everyday matters. It impacts your thoughts, emotions, and ultimately your actions.

Plants and Vastu

One of the best ways to get the most out of Vastu Shastra is to add plants to your home or office. They’re not just beautiful — they also have the power to clean the air and boost your abundance.

It’s based on the idea that everything in the universe — like the placement of planets or the flow of energy — has a vibrational pattern, and these flows of energy can be manipulated to a beneficial end.

Benefits of plants

• Planting in your home or office can help with energy, wellness, and productivity.
• From improving air quality to lowering your energy bills, indoor plants have a ton of benefits that make them a must-have in any home. They also happen to make great decor!
• Indoor plants are great for improving air quality in your home because they naturally filter out pollutants like formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, and ammonia, which are common in many household products like cleaning products, paints, and fabrics.

Fern Plant

They are also wonderful for purifying the air in your home and are especially helpful if you have health issues. To grow ferns, you can choose from a variety of species that are suited to your climate. For example, if you live in a warm climate, you can grow tropical ferns. In a cooler climate, you can grow Alpine or Woodland ferns. Wherever you live, the soil you choose to grow your ferns in is important.

Placing a Boston fern in your entryway or workspace is a good idea. It is considered a welcoming plant.

Because it is a superb natural air cleaner, this lush species is a true good-energy plant for every space!

Bamboo plant

Bamboo is associated with wealth and prosperity.

If you have an indoor bamboo plant, try to find a place near where you usually sit or spend most of your time. It is believed that the energy emitted by a plant affects the person that spends most of their time in its vicinity.

You can position a bamboo plant in the southeast corner of your house or office as it is a potent symbol of wealth and abundance. It can also be used to enhance romance and stimulate creativity.

In order to make the most of this Vastu tip, you need to place the bamboo plant in water. You can use a decorative vase or bowl for this purpose. The water must be changed regularly to keep the plant healthy.

Bamboo plants are also very beneficial if you have a desk job as they improve air quality. And, most importantly, they look very aesthetically pleasing.

Jade Plant

Jade plants are known to bring good fortune, wealth, and prosperity to the home.

They are also said to bring good health to your family, especially prosperity for your children. They can be placed anywhere, such as on a desk, in the living room or family room, or even in your garden.

Jade plants are known to help with concentration, improve blood flow, and reduce anxiety.

Lavender Plant

Lavender is beautiful, aromatic, and has many health benefits. It is a fragrant herb that is commonly used in natural remedies. Many people grow lavender as a houseplant, and it is commonly used to repel mosquitoes and other insects. When grown indoors, lavender plants offer plenty of benefits for your health. They improve air quality, reduce stress, and have many other health benefits.

Lavender plants also look beautiful and can be used to decorate your home or office. It can be placed in the living room, kitchen window, or family area in the house. Keep the lavender plant at the reception, conference room, or CEO cabin in office locations.

Areca Palm

The Vastu benefits of this palm tree is great for wealth and success. It has a wide trunk that symbolizes wealth and power, and the open, welcoming nature of its fronds represents the welcoming of wealth. This palm tree is also a great feng shui cure for readers, writers, and anyone who works in the creative profession.

The open fronds of this palm tree also welcome new ideas and thoughts. This palm tree is also great for the health and wealth of anyone who enjoys nice outdoor spaces or gardens.

If you want to make sure that your home or office is filled with positive energy, you can’t go wrong with areca or any normal palms.

How to Program Your Space for Abundance and Happiness as per Vastu

 How to Program Your Space for Abundance and Happiness as per Vastu

It’s no secret that life is hard these days. It seems like just about everything has become more expensive and more difficult to obtain. In order to protect ourselves from the rampant consumerism, commercialism, and materialism that are all around us, we’ve retreated into our homes and created little “blue bubbles” where we can disconnect from it all. And in doing so, we inadvertently created an entirely new niche industry: the home automation system. 

In ancient culture, it is believed that every dwelling should follow Vastu principles, an art of creating harmony in the home. Abundant blessings are believed to flow into a space when it is designed in accordance with the five elements of Vastu shastra i.e. water, fire, earth, wind and space

In a world where most of us feel as though we are under constant attack from various forces that wish to suck our happiness out of us, why should we be happy? After all, isn’t there enough hardship in the world as is? Programming our space for abundance and happiness actually requires very little effort on our part. However, if you don’t take action now, it will only get harder as time goes by and your circumstances continue to deteriorate around you. 

So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!

Plants

If you’ve ever wondered why certain flowers seem to bring joy and prosperity into your home, then you’ll love this! The answer lies in their patterns of movement and their ability to attract natural energy. Plants have been used for centuries in homes as a way of bringing the spirit of the season into the dwelling. 

Plants in your home help to balance the energies of the space, reduce negative energy, and even attract good vibes from the outside. If you're wondering what plants can do for your home, here are some benefits:

Plants have been used as a part of human life for thousands of years. They are an important part of our ecosystem and are also useful for productivity related to health and stress.  They also increase concentration, improve productivity, and reduce feelings of stress. In the home, plants can be used to reduce stress and improve productivity. 

Some beneficial plants

-Spider Plants: Spider plants are a great choice because they grow easily and quickly, and they help to reduce stress by reducing feelings of loneliness.

- Jade Plants: Jade plants are another great choice for reducing stress because they are easy to grow and they are a great addition to almost any home. 

- Peace Lily: The peace lily is another great choice for reducing stress because it is very easy to grow and it does not need much attention.

Colors

Everyone understands the beauty of nature. It has been a part of us from our childhood. We have seen it growing up, played with it and for most of our adult life we have been in contact with it.

Colors are a powerful force that can either have a positive or negative effect on us depending on their frequency, intensity, and how well they are aligned on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. If you want to create more joy in your life then you need to put some thought into how you decorate your home because color plays a major role in affecting your emotions positively or negatively.

Vastu suggested  Colors are  a combination of the elements of your home. It is the exact color that will be beneficial for your health and well-being. This is what differentiates a successful Vastu practitioner from others, they know the exact effect of each color on the body and mind of the person. The best part is that you can do this yourself at home.

If you want to promote a lot of happiness and joy in your life then you must have a color that is very popular in Vastu as it is called yellow. Yellow is one of the most powerful and needed color that you can use to increase the flow of money, prosperity, and good luck.

Another colour, Blue is the most gentle and soothing color that is highly beneficial for the mind. It is an excellent color to create a calm and harmonious ambience in your house.

Space & light

There have been a growing number of studies that have been conducted to see what affects people’s happiness levels and how we can consciously program our spaces for abundance and happiness. It turns out that the more open space you have in your home, the happier you will be. Because of this, you should invest in having more open spaces in your home. 

The greener your space in your home, the more likely you are to be happier in your space. With that in mind, you should also make sure that you have more natural light in your home and less artificial light. Natural light has been shown to have a number of health benefits, including the reduction of depression and the improvement of sleep quality. And since depression and sleep problems are both associated with increased levels of stress, it makes sense that they would be reduced when you have more natural light in your home.

So, if you want to make your home more beautiful and more energetic then you must have a look at the combination of colors, plants, lights, etc and you will definitely be amazed.
