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.

Vastu Space healing techniques- simple and easy to implement

We make the space "work for you"

Representative sculptures have multiple implications

Analyzing and understanding the significance of idols and symbolic items used in home décor from a vaastu perspective (Our this article was published in DNA news paper on 11 June 2016

Essential Elements

Idols are like a symbol, something visible representing something invisible. They are not just decorative pieces made by sculptors but are guiding channels through which our heart is attracted towards the higher self.

Lord Kubera

Kubera is the god of wealth and the lord of Uttaradisha (north direction). He is also known as Dhanapati, the lord of riches. He is one of the guardians of the directions, representing the north according to Vaastu Shastra.

Goddess Annapurna

Annapurna is the Goddess of Nourishment, who is full, complete, and perfect with food and grains. According to Vaastu Shastra, a small brass idol of Annapurna placed in the rice jar brings abundance to prosperity in the family.

Elephant

The elephant is a sacred animal for many oriental cultures and carries a great amount of symbolism. An elephant is a symbol of strength, power, virility, longevity, fidelity, dignity, intelligence and wisdom. Place a pair of elephants with their trunks up the front door of homes or offices to bring good fortune and strength to the family.

When placed in the bedroom, the elephant brings harmony and promotes love and fidelity among couples. The elephant also symbolizes fertility because Buddha is said to be conceived when he entered his mother's womb as a white elephant. Childless couples or those wishing to have more children should place elephant images in their bedroom to increase fertility.

Sun

The solar radiation that reaches earth acts as the main source of vitamin D for the sustenance of life on this planet. Without it, life on the earth would not flourish. In modern architecture, every house does not have access to morning sun rays. According to research done by Vaastu experts, being deprived of morning sun rays could result in poor health conditions.

Such Vaastu defects can be corrected by fixing a painting or symbol of the sun on the east wall of the house or business locations.

Medicine Buddha

The Medicine Buddha is depicted sitting on a lotus throne (the lotus flower is the symbol of purity of mind and of the earth) in the posture of vajrasana (also known as the diamond position, which was assumed by Buddha Shakyamuni on the last day before his enlightenment). With his left hand, he forms the gesture of absolute balance.

The gesture signifies the state in which objective consciousness is removed. The gesture was assumed by the Buddha as he sat under a fig tree where he submerged himself in meditation and it helped him reach a state of deep reflection. The left-hand forms the gesture of comfort and fearlessness, which signifies blessing and protection.

Meditating with a medicine Buddha creates great therapeutic energy, which is useful for healing oneself and others.

Lion

As the king of the animal world, the lion stands for battle and power. In western culture, the lion stands for fire, the sun, and gold. When kings and people of authority wanted to display their wealth, power, and prestige to the outside world, they would place sculptures of lions at the entrances to their houses or in the palace garden. The Lions informed everybody entering that this was the residence of an important person who demanded respect.

In many ancient cultures, the lion is a symbol of protection for the entrance to a building. The lion pair always stands outside the front door to protect against bad luck entering the house. At many places, entrance gates that are guarded by lions are also called lion gates.

Shankha

Shankha or conch shell with images of Lord Ganesha is believed to ward off all negativities and bring harmony and auspiciousness to the home. The presence of Lord Ganesha paves the way for Riddhi and Siddhi.
