Stress, ailments and illnesses have become a part of new age lifestyle. We owe it to modern living, gadgets, equipment, electrical appliances and radioactive frequencies. Vastu and feng shui consultant Rashi Gaur feels as we can’t run away from these, we can at least try to minimize their ill effects by taking care of few things.
- If you are looking for a house, make sure you look up the mobile towers in the vicinity. Let them not be too close to where you stay. At least one or two kilometres away is a wise decision. While the telecommunication industry may claim that the radiation from them is safe, if it is too close it can play havoc with health.
- In the kitchen we have equipment like the microwave. The radiation emitting from them is rather strong. One of the best ways to override it, is to restrict its use to minimum and when not being used, take the plug out of the socket.
- With equipment like refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen, it is important to have a window in the East or South East to let the morning rays of the sun in. Sunlight has healing power and helps to remove negative energy from the kitchen.
- Placing a healthy growing plant in any zone that has too many such appliances or equipment helps to reduce the ill effects of radiation. That’s why indoor plants are a great idea to have around the house.
- Try and keep the television sets out of your bedroom. Even when they are placed in the living room, sit as far away from it as possible to lessen the negative impact of radioactive rays.
- Do not place electrical equipment in your bed box or under your bed. It will lead to restlessness.
- When you use electrical cookers, the electromagnetic energy from them tends to interfere with your energy. It’s better to switch to regular cookers that need gas for cooking.
- Restrict the use of hairdryers as they are being used too close to the brain. Let the hair dry naturally as much as possible.
- It’s better to opt for gas central heating rather than using heaters or electric blankets for the sake of better health.
- When using computers, opt for LCD screens. Fax and photocopy machines should be kept far away from the sleeping area. Let these not be a part of children’s bedroom. Routing wires should also be far away from your bedroom or your children’s bedroom to keep the negative energies away.
