Top 5 ways to improve your kitchen's energy

Ensure these while designing the room that impacts your health and wealth

It is said that the location of the kitchen as per Vastu has a big impact on our wealth. As a place of food preparation, no doubt it has a big impact on our health too. If we stay healthy, we can accomplish many things and remain successful and happy. When everything is in harmony, food will taste better, be easier to digest, and healthier as well.

This vital balance of energy applies to everything in your environment, including the food with which you nourish your body. There are easy to follow rules of Vaastu Shastra that one can easily incorporate to make your kitchen as per Vastu.

1. Using natural materials is one of the fundamental tenets of creating harmonious energy in the kitchen. You feel better if surrounded with the natural materials used in the kitchen. Wooden cabinets, wooden accessories, cotton napkins, bamboo baskets etc. are good examples of natural material.

2. Food preparation in a windowless space discourages you from cooking. The kitchen should have a link with the outdoors, with nature, as this brings creative cooking energies. Keep live plants, especially herbs in the kitchen window.  Read our article on Windows are the eye home

They are great for cooking and represent positive health energy while making you feel good. Positive energy will also flow more freely throughout the entire kitchen.

3. The kitchen is the heart of a home and so it should be warm and welcoming. Keep drawers and cabinets organized all the time. Hiding clutter is not a solution; so take the time to organize and neatly arrange your kitchen items in every drawer and cupboard. The knowledge that all is in perfect order will affect your mindset; encouraging a feeling of tranquillity and well being.

The food we eat deserves to be prepared in a fresh and clean environment which will help you live healthier. Keep only essential appliances and items that are used daily on the counter such as a teapot, toaster, salt, etc.

Put the rest of the things into drawers and cupboards including knives, spoons and the stacks of small containers that regularly seem to accumulate in a kitchen.

4. Storing old, stale or expired food energetically holds you in the past and drains you of the vital energy that is needed to live an inspired life. It is advisable to keep the contents of your refrigerator current and create the energy to welcome the right opportunities in life.

5. The color scheme for the vastu kitchen should be of light color ranges like pista green, lemon yellow, light ivory, and pink. It is bad to use darker colors like black, grey and maroon for the kitchen. Also, a strong red is not comfortable for it.

Above all, create time to gather around the dining table and share meals together to encourage family harmony.  Read more about the kitchen 10 clever Vastu ideas to improve and protect healthy energy in your cooking zone.

Fire Element (अग्नि तत्व) of Vastu Shastra

Fire Element (अग्नि तत्व)- Vastu Shastra

Fire, together with Water, Earth, Wind, and space is one of the five known basic Elements of Vastu Shastra, which represent the substance of the world.

 Fire in its physical appearance can do for you what the sun itself does for the whole world - it provides you with light and warmth and can serve you as a heat source to cook upon. Fire is also an impulsive and a dangerous element, that can smoulder and suddenly burst.

 Fire can give wings of courage, compassion, and devotion.

 It is seen as the force burning inside us, giving us iron willpower to go for our goals, bestowing upon us the passion to do it with all of yourself, resulting in the honor and freedom to do it without backstabbing and with an open face.

Fire is the transformer, converting the energy of other objects into other forms: heat, light, ash, and smoke.

The Buddha defined the Fire element as “that by which one is warmed, ages, and is consumed, and that by which what is eaten … gets completely digested.” In other words, the Fire element within is metabolism. It’s our energy.

Sources of fire element in Vastu Shastra:-

Stove, Oven  or Gas

Pantry in case of small office

Transformer, DG set, Furnaces, Boilers, Chimney, Electrical- control Panels set etc. in case of Industries

Red Candle

Coral Stone –Triangular

Jasper Pyramid- Triangular

A  painting  or any art representing fire
A new alternate:- Agni Kund (Fire Bowl)

Agni Kund (FIre Bowl)

There are simple ways to use the fire element of Vastu Shastra theory to create balance, harmony, and prosperity in your surrounding.

FIRE ELEMENTS (अग्नि तत्व) – RESIDENCE

1.   A fire feature should not be placed in the southwest or northeast quadrant of a property, building or room. A kitchen or fireplace, for example, in the southwest brings conflicts and arguments. A kitchen or fireplace in the northeast will cause whatever money you make to ‘burn up’ and go away. It also brings health problems, conflicts, and arguments.

2.    The fire element at incorrect locations can trigger accidents, miscarriages, and other undesirable events. When used correctly though, the fire element can bring money and fame and help with relationships. It takes a great deal of vastu study to determine where best to apply the fire element.

3.   If stove and toilet wall is back to back on the same wall, this is not a good vastu which causes poor health to the family members. The bathroom represents the removal of waste, and the kitchen represents wealth and prosperity. A virtual partition by installing a copper pyramid divider is a simple remedy available to cure such vastu defect.

4.   In designing your kitchen it is extremely beneficial to place two key factors. Firstly, the layout must not create any conflicts between the three key elements (fridge, sink, and stove) and secondly, the colors and materials you choose should in some way benefit the owner of the house.

5.   A stove between the fridge and sink indicates the situation “Fire between the water”.

6.   Do not place the gas/stove under the beam; otherwise, you will suffer from poor health.

7.   Do not keep  Chipped Plates and damaged equipment in the kitchen. It will accumulate bad energy.

FIRE ELEMENT (अग्नि तत्व) - INDUSTRIES / OFFICES

8.   Transformer, electrical panels, boilers etc. at southeast makes a warm southeast corner. According to the research, warm agneya corner(Southeast) assures tremendous growth for the industries. There are so many examples of successful industries having a strong presence of the fire element at the southeast corner.

9.   Chilling plant, cold storage, AC units, etc. at southeast weakens the fire element. This may result in poor growth of the company.

10. Loyal, energetic  & hardworking staff or workers are the indications of canteen or kitchen at South-east zone of the premises.

11. Do not place any septic or water tank close to the fire element. This may cause a serious setback to the industries.

12. Fire gadgets at the southwest may cause an accident in the unit. A virtual shifting by placing a copper shift arrow may reduce the impact of negative placement.

13. Fire equipment in the northeast zone could bring a stressful situation for the management. A vastu relocation or corrections are must for such placement.

In Vastu, the solution lies in locating the Vastu faults and correcting them to create a harmonious and positive energy field.

Fire Element Important element of Vastu Shastra

Importance of Fire element in Vastu Shastra

Agni (Fire) Sun is the most vital source of energy and light. It is the soul of the universe. Formation of day and night, charge in seasons is brought about by the movement of the Sun in relation to the movement of the earth. Fire element is related to our sense of sound, touch, and sight. It is difficult to imagine life on earth without the Sun. The Sun’s rays can be split into 7 plus 2 colors. Beginning from the very beneficial ultra-violet rays in the Eastern side corresponding to North-East, the Sun’s rays further split into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR) and intra-red in South-East (fire corner).

Vastu direction of fire that lies midway between the east and the south is known as Agneya (south-east). Agni (fire) is the lord of this direction (vastu for fire direction). He is the preserver and defender of every being. Agni also carries the message of people who worship and offer oblations with devotion to God. Worshippers of Agni are economically strong and long living. Agni himself takes care of the people who make offerings into him. Agni also provides them with comfort, peace, prosperity, and progeny. While constructing a house, the first pillar must be erected in the south-east direction. Alternatively, the kitchen of the house should occupy a place in this direction. This is the foremost and an important rule of VAASTU Shastra. The first day of every month also represents the element fire. A warm Agneya direction makes a man healthy, whereas a faulty use makes the owner short-tempered.

Important Points About Fire Placement Fire in vastu is a key element and its location is an indicator of the prosperity of the house owner.
Fire zone  in vastu -the Southeast or Northwest (Vastu fireplace location)
The southeast is the home of the fire element and the northwest is the home of the air element. Because of the interconnectedness of these two elements, fire features should only be placed in the southeast or northwest of any room, building or property. This includes kitchens, stoves, fireplaces, open flames and outdoor cooking features. According to vastu, fire and water element are the key placement in the kitchen.
Fire in the Northeast or Southwest
A fire feature should not be situated in the southwest or northeast quadrant of a property, building or room. A kitchen or fireplace, for example, in the southwest brings conflicts and arguments. A kitchen or fireplace in the northeast will cause whatever money you make to ‘burn up’ and go away. It also brings health problems, conflicts, and arguments. Remedies like vastu helix, wooden pyramids, vastu salts & vastu fire pyramid should be used to minimize the negative effect.
