š Vastu for Life Goals: Make Your Home Work FOR You
Imagine your home as a garden. If you plant seeds in the right spots with enough sunlight and water, beautiful flowers bloom. But plant them in the wrong place? They struggle. Vastu is like knowing exactly where to plant each seed so your life blooms with health, wealth, love, and success!
š The Big Idea
Your home is alive with invisible energyālike wind you canāt see but can feel. Different corners of your home have different types of energy. When you match the RIGHT activity to the RIGHT corner, magic happens!
Think of it like this: You wouldnāt put your refrigerator in your bedroom or your bed in the kitchen, right? Vastu teaches us which activities belong in which directionsāand when we follow this, life flows more smoothly.
šŖ Vastu for Health
The Simple Truth: Your body heals best when itās in harmony with natureās energy. The wrong sleeping direction or kitchen placement can drain your energy!
Where Health Lives: The Northeast
The Northeast corner is like the sunrise of your homeāfresh, pure, and healing. Keep this area:
- Clean and clutter-free
- Light and airy
- A place for meditation or prayer
Sleep Direction Matters!
graph TD A["šļø Your Head While Sleeping"] --> B["ā South or East"] A --> C["ā Never North"] B --> D["Better sleep & energy"] C --> E["Headaches & restlessness"]
Why not North? Earth is a giant magnet. Your head has magnetic energy too. Sleeping with head pointing North creates magnetic repulsionālike two magnets pushing away!
Example: Rahul always felt tired. He moved his bed so his head pointed South instead of North. Within weeks, he felt more rested!
Kitchen Placement
| Direction | Effect on Health |
|---|---|
| Southeast ā | Fire element balanced, digestion strong |
| Northeast ā | Water clashes with fire, stomach problems |
| Southwest ā | Heavy energy, sluggishness |
Tip: The cook should face East while cooking. Morning sunlight energy enters the food!
š° Vastu for Wealth
The Simple Truth: Money is energy. It flows to places that welcome it and runs away from blocked, cluttered spaces!
The Wealth Corner: North
The North direction is ruled by Kuberāthe lord of wealth in ancient stories. This is your money magnet!
Make North Work for You:
- Keep a locker or safe in the North or Southwest (heavy items in Southwest)
- Never place toilets in the North
- Add water features (small fountain) in the Northeast

Cash Box Secrets
Face it North or East when opening your safe or wallet. Itās like opening a door toward prosperity!
Example: Priya moved her home safe from a random closet to the Southwest corner, facing North. She started getting unexpected bonuses at work!
Leakages = Money Leaks
Every dripping tap or broken pipe is like a hole in your pocket:
- Fix all leaks immediately
- Keep the Southeast (fire corner) free from water storage
