For any house to prosper, it is important for good energy to flow around effortlessly. However, this becomes a problem when the house has protruding corners, obstructive pillars or exposed beams. Vastu and feng shui consultant Rashi Gaur gives few tips to get rid of negative energy caused by pillars, using both ancient sciences.
1. Never ever have a pillar block the main gate or the main door. Do not even have a pillar right inside the entrance door. These act like a ‘dwarvedha’, in other words a structure causing obstruction. Such pillars will make the residents face many obstacles in their path to success. In cases where such pillars cannot be removed, it is better to change the position of the entrance door. By changing the orientation, you will be able to do away with the vastu flaw. If changing the position isn’t possible, paint the pillar or hang a painting on the pillar in such a way that it creates a feeling of an open field or a long winding road on the pillar.When you look at it, you should get a feeling of depth rather than a vision of an obstructive structure.
2. Many a times you will see the structure of a house standing on pillars.This is to make the front facade beautiful. Although the structure may look beautiful, the gap that gets created between the pillar and the wall will make the good energies escape, taking away prosperity from the house. No good luck will ever be retained as the foundation is missing. To get rid of the negative energy, create a wall and fill the gap. A better solution is to create rooms within.
3. The centre of the house, often referred to as Brahmasthan in vastu shastra, is supposed to be a sensitive area of the house. Ideally this zone should be devoid of structures to be able to bring maximum benefits to the residents of the house. A pillar in the centre of the house or even a staircase here is considered a flaw. People living in such a house may feel burdened financially and experience stomach-related physical ailments.
4. A pillar in any zone of the house, especially if it is square with pointed edges, will act like a poison arrow hitting you. Cover or hide the corners with green luscious plants. Do remember to change the plants continuously as the negative energy from the sharp edges and corners is so strong that plants can dry up rather quickly. Drying or dying plants bring stagnation to one’s life. If it is impossible to maintain real plants, even artificial plants will do. Another method to fix the pillar flaw is to cover it with mirrors and ensure that the mirror does not reflect the entrance or the toilet to get rid of negative energy. If for some reason pillars are a must, make sure they are round or have softened edges instead of being square and sharp.
5. Large living rooms often have pillars in the middle of the room. Living room is the area where the energy needs to flow uninhibited. If there are pillars blocking the room, you can divide the room into two zones rather than have one single room being blocked by pillars.
