Vastu Remedy for Anxiety

Anxiety is an unwelcome by-product of modern lifestyle. Peer pressure, comparison with others around us makes us desperate to achieve something and achieve it fast. When things do not happen as we desire, we become anxious and stressed and when you are in this state of mind for long it results in hypertension, diabetes and other lifestyle diseases.

As per Vastu, there are three reasons for anxiety; either you are spending more time in the area between the east and south east direction, or there is a vastu defect in this area. In Vastu, this zone is assigned to the activity of churning. In ancient vastu texts it is suggested to perform the churning of the curd in this part of the house.

In modern context churning is performed by mixer-grinder. So if this area is falling in between the east and south-east, you can place the mixer-grinder here.

However, not all homes have the kitchen here. In that case there is a very simple remedy; place a picture showing this activity. It can be a painting of a lady churning curd and that will work well to reduce the anxiety and stress.

Vastu Consultation for Office || what is a good time for it?

Few days back I posted an article on “When is the good timeto go for Vastu Consultation of  a House”, and readers messaged me, that I should also write on Vastu for shop, office and Factory as well. 

So here is the article focusing on office. At a later date I will write for Factory and Shops.

An office is where the business operates from. Even factory owners have offices other than the one in their factory i.e. corporate office, registered office, Sales office, etc.

The office or shop may be owned or on rent. In both these cases the same rules apply.
There are three times which are most suited to perform a Vastu audit and rectifications for an office or shop.

Before moving in

This is when the office is at a design stage, and a good Vastu Consultant will be able to guide on placement of different activities and departments. For example, he will be able to help you decide where the owner should sit, where the account department should be, where the design should take place, from where the marketing activities should be performed, etc. He will also guide on the color schemes to be used in the office.

When business is difficult

The next best time is when doing business becomes difficult. It can be due to the Vastu defects and hence a Vastu Correction needs to be performed. Many a times, the office premises is on rent and you have taken up the floor with all its workstations and cabins which are designed as per the previous tenant or the owner of the real estate. In this case a Vastu consultant will advise you on the corrective measures which need to be taken to make the space conducive to your success.

When you want to expand

When you are ready to expand to new territories or diversify into multiple businesses, a Vastu consultation by a competent expert helps you in re-designing and changing the placement of the office as per the fields and scale of expansion.

If you are taking up more space on rent and integrating with the existing office, the vastu expert will guide you to which side of your current office should you be looking for expanding the space and also guide on placement of different activities as per the new floor plan of the expanded office.

Vastu Myth || Vastu does not affect the tenants

I got a call from a worried father from Meerut. Ever since his son bought a property in Delhi, he has not been keeping well. The property is an investment and is rented out to a MNC executive working in Delhi.

His son’s business in Meerut was suffering and a vastu consultant said that there are problems in the house in Delhi since it is in the name of the son. According to the consultant, since the son is the owner of the Dellhi house, Vastu defects over there will affect his finances.

His father wondered that when the tenants are not facing any problems in that house, how it can affect the son who is staying with him in Meerut. He wanted me to vet this statement of the local vastu consultant and if I am in agreement then he wanted me to visit the house in Delhi to perform a Vastu audit. I assured him that the problem faced by his son is definitely not because of any vastu defect in his property in Delhi as he does not stay there.

Now this is a very common myth that Vastu of a house effects the owner of the house and if you are a tenant you need not worry about vastu.

By definition, Vastu is the effect of the space on the residents. So irrespective of owner or tenant it will effect the inhabitants. Similarly the Vastu of a house which is lying vacant will not affect the owner of the house.

A vastu correction performed in a rented house will benefit the tenant till he stays there and the owner once he moves in.

I welcome your comments and questions on this post.

Good Time for Vastu Consultation of a House

"What is the right time to for a Vastu Consultation?" you may ask.

There are three best times when you can go for a Vastu Consultation.

Before Design

If you are making a new house on a plot, then before finalizing the design of the floor plan, is the right time for Vastu Consultation. A good Vastu Expert will mark areas in the plot where various activities can and cannot be performed. For example, he will mark the areas where the kitchen stove can be placed based on Vastu principles and practicality.

Before Moving in

When you do not have the inclination or privilege to build an independent bungalow, you move into an apartment in a builder floor or a multi-storied apartment complex. In this case the best time to do a vastu consultation is when you finalize the apartment. Choose 3-4 apartments in same or different buildings and ask the Vastu Consultant to choose the one which is vastu compliant. A good vastu consultation will understand your profession, problems and accordingly select the most suited apartment out of the ones you have short-listed.

When you need Vastu

Many a times one experiences that after moving to a new house certain incidents have happened; poor health, loss in business, fight amongst family members, and such. This calls for an immediate consultation by a competent Vastu expert. The Vastu expert will suggest corrective measures to be implemented to get rid of the problem.

In short anytime is a good time for Vastu consultation

Bring Joy to your home with a Baisakhi Scene

What does Baisakhi mean to you? Harvesting festival? Festival of joy? New Year? Or all of these?

Basiakhi is celebrated in Northern parts of India with much fun fare. It is truly a festival of joy. There can be no symbolism of joy better than a painting representing the dance and frolic of Baisakhi.

If the family lacks joy in their life this can be a very effective Vastu remedy. Hang a large painting showing the celebrations of this festival in the zone of entertainment which is the angular area between North-East and East of your house and see the change in the happiness levels in your family.

I wish all my readers a very happy Baishakhi!

Vastu Tip || Ideal location for toilets

Toilets at the wrong place can create most turmoil in the life of the residents of the house. While in ancient Vastu Texts only area between South and South-West is prescribed for toilet, there are other areas where toilets do not cause any harm and if placed there it will result in benefits to the residents.

The angular area between South and South-West is the zone of disposal and the functionality of toilet is to dispose. Hence “Vishwakarma Prakash” prescribe toilets should be in this zone.

However, because toilets are for disposal, they can also be located in the zone of anxiety and churning where it will dispose the anxiety and in the zone of depression where it will dispose depression.

The angular area between East and South East is the zone of anxiety and that between West and North West is the zone of depression.

Toilets in any other vastu zone will dispose the beneficial property of the zone where it is located. For example, toilet in the North zone will dispose opportunities and in the North East will dispose clarity of mind and can cause chronic illnesses.

Fortunately, MahaVastu has remedies which can be applied to correct the vastu defect and this can be applied without demolition. To know if this is a case in your home go for a MahaVastu Audit immediately.
