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.

Vastu Shastra in Modern way of Living-Balance energy levels

Vastu Shastra in Modern way of Living

Using vaastu shastra principles today means finding solutions that fit in with the modern way of living. Modern life offers conveniences such as cell phones, computers, electric fire, and modern furnishings. On the other hand, the natural environment is polluted by the presence of such electric appliances in and around our residence and offices. It is so important to control and manage such harsh energy and bring it back at a harmonious level.

The principles of vaastu guide anyone to be in tune with his or her environment, which includes interior or exterior space, objects, lights, etc. and explains how this affects one at a mental and physical level.

It is always advisable to use natural wooden furniture instead of steel and glass furniture in your personal environment. Natural fabrics like linen or cotton offer comfort and soothing natural energy.

Plants represent new beginnings and creativity. They work as an air filter and help in balancing humidity in your home. Avoid thorny plants, which can convert positive energy into negative. Even if you are living in an apartment, plants in a hanging basket on the window, or a planter on the window sill will draw serene energy.

Hectic work schedules, working during weekends and the pressure of endless work responsibilities have increased tension levels in family life. According to vaastu, every house has a zone of tranquillity. A few minutes of meditation or prayer in this zone helps you to recharge yourself and also enhances the work stamina.

Pull all the curtains back during the day time to allow natural sunlight to give the positive energy to your house.

 Beams, especially above the bed, study desk, cooking top, working desk, etc. are considered bad vaastu. Reposition your furniture arrangement to avoid serious bad luck.

 Electro-stress is vibration energy not compatible to the human cells. When we come in contact with these man-made frequencies from household appliances, cell phones, computers, television, etc., which emit harmful radiations, it affects us. Try keeping them away while you are having rest. Using natural crystals near such gadgets will help in neutralizing the electro-stress.

 Paintings and pictures of many popular animals like deer, elephants, horses, etc. also create a positive environment in your house. Avoid using paintings of wild animals like lion, tiger, leopard, etc. inside the home.

Vastu Shastra actually elevates the existing theme of your home without demanding too many renovations or reconstructions in modern time also

Vastu Shastra for South Facing House, plot, property, Home - True Vastu Analysis

South facing House Vastu or Vastu for South Facing House

The negative concerns associated with south facing houses are due to an oft-repeated myth

South facing property or properties are available at affordable prices – why?  Because very few people prefer renting or buying a south facing plot,  home or offices. This trend is just a myth and there is no truth. In fact, south facing property can bring a huge amount of success if certain vastu shastra rules are followed very carefully.

A true vastu analysis involves understanding the location of the main door, as all directions i.e. north, south, east and west are equally auspicious.  We have seen not a few, but a large number of homes having south door were fortunate in creating a prosperous and peaceful life. Hence locating a door at an auspicious block of the south zone can be instrumental to claim as a successful house.

Some of the points below are the specific vastu rules to be followed in south facing premises:-

1.    The success of any south property depends on where the main door is located.  Even door at north, east or west can be negative if located at an inauspicious block of vastu grid. A good location of the main door nourishes the house.  Divide south zone in the nine equal parts. The fourth block from the east is a most auspicious zone for the main door.

2.    Provide true location for a kitchen in the house i..e southeast corner, a fire zone.  A warm agneya corner is a sign of financial success.

3.    Water bodies (underground tank, fish tank, water bowl ), prayer zone, study and library,  more windows and open space in the north-east zone assures a peaceful and healthy environment inside the house.

4.    Bedrooms for kids, toilet and bath in the north-west should ideally be placed in the north-west zone for harmony in the house

5.    South-west zone is a  strong location for the owner of the house. Master bed room in this direction gives him more strength and command over the family as well as in the business decisions. 

Precautions for south facing properties:-

1.    The toilet in the north-east or south-west zone is a serious vaastu defect affecting health and peace in the family.

2.    Kitchen in the south-west could impact on female health badly

3.    Master bedroom at north-east could bring more struggle for the owner of the house

4.    A toilet, kitchen or pillar in the center of the house should be avoided at any cost.

5.    Missing windows at north & east could reduce the vastu strength of such premises

6.    Underground water tank at southeast or southwest could prove harmful for the entire family

Aligning a south facing house internally with vastu element & it could prove equally good like those properties facing other three directions.

What's in a name? - Auspicious choices bring good luck to residents

What's in a name? - Auspicious choices bring good luck to residents

Naming homes according to vastu shastra is becoming very popular with the increase in home ownership. It gives an impression of welcoming the visitor. When it is difficult to find your home, a visitor may overshoot the premises. According to vaastu, it can indicate missed opportunities. So draw attention to your home with a beautiful house name, along with a house sign at the entrance to your property in a welcoming way.

People in western countries name their homes based on certain themes like birds, animals, locations, and trees. For instance, orchid home, cucu villa, hill view, sea castle etc. In India, people tend to name their house after the holy river, holy places, parents, god, and goddess. An auspicious and lucky name brings good luck and success to the occupants. People in such a home feel more positive and are able to attract abundance in their life.

Consider the following points before naming your home:

1. Avoid duplicating a name that already exists in your area or surroundings.

2. Use a name which has some personal significance.

3. Select a unique and attractive one.

4. Name written on the door plate should be easily readable.

5. The name should ideally have a positive meaning to attract positiveness in your home

6. Colors used in the nameplate should be selected based on the directions. e.g. east facing homes should have nameplate made in brown or green colors.

7. Like colors, the material used in making a nameplate is equally important. Metallic nameplates are very auspicious for the north facing homes.

8. Those who have an independent home or villa can display their house name near the gate and people living in the apartment may create space near the door.

Your home is one of your biggest assets as well as your shelter. A good starting point in naming your house is to ensure you’re not duplicating a name that already exists in your local area or post-code area as this could cause problems. Walk the streets, see what names are already in use and if there are any constants or common themes to the house names in your area.

Ideally, you want a name to be proud of and that has some local or personal significance. A new house name should be unique and of relevance to you or the area. Above all, any new name given should be suitable and well-chosen.
