Vastu suggests several tips you can consider to make them beautiful and a source of positivity in your homes.
Mirrors:
● One must place a convex mirror on the outside wall of the house to ward off all the negative energies trying to enter the home.
● However, ensure that the mirror is facing outwards and not towards the house. Else, the effect will be the exact opposite.
● Avoid placing the mirror in the north or east direction. Since these directions are considered the passage for the flow of positive energy, placing a mirror here may obstruct the flow of positive energy into your house.
● Do not place two mirrors facing each other. They may bring restlessness among the family members.
● Make sure not to possess any broken or cracked mirror inside the house.
Lamp and flower Vase:
● Place a lamp or a beautiful flower vase in your hallway to ensure the flow of positive energy inside your home.
● Also, if there is limited space in the hallway or corridor, you can hang decorative artefacts/mirrors on its walls.
Ideal location to place Buddha:
● We can easily find many forms of buddha nowadays in the market. Lately, it has been a trend to place Buddha statue in homes as a decorative measure.
● As per Vastu Shastra, place buddha facing the front door in order to obstruct the negative energies entering inside your home.
● Also, Vastu Shastra believes that Buddha has divine power to nullify the impact of negative forces.
● Avoid keeping buddha statue on the floor. Always keep it at a certain height above ground, preferably on a table.
● Keep the Buddha statue clean and tidy. Also, place it in such a way that it faces the East direction.
● If you possess a sleeping Buddha, keep it in a way so that it faces the West direction.
Ideal Location to place Lord Ganesha:
● Placing Ganesha statue in the house is very popular among most of the Indians. If you are planning to place a Ganesha statue at the house entrance, then, Vastu suggests to place them back to back to avoid poverty.
Bowl of water with flowers:
● Water symbolises wealth. So keep a bowl of water with some colourful flowers in it in the corridor or hallway.
● Make sure to change the water in the bowl regularly. Also, always keep fresh flowers in the water bowl.
Bowl with Sea salts:
● Vastu Shastra considers salt as a symbol of purification. Sea salt is believed to clean all the negative energy.
● You can mix sea salts with water and place the mixture in a bowl in the north-west or south-west direction in your home.
● Various salts such as Epsom, rock salt can be used to fight negative energy, stress and other unwanted feelings.
Agarbathis/Dhoop in the entrance:
● Placing agarbathis and dhoops in the entrances regularly helps to eliminate negativity from our homes.
