Ways to increase positivity at home

Advanced Feng Shui and Pyravastu consultant Dr Snehal S Deshpande lists some Vastu tips

In the present complex scenario, we do not find time for ourselves to analyse the various reasons that lead us to the failures in the aspects of health, wealth or relationship problems in our life. Most of these problems are connected to major Vastu and Feng Shui Defects. 
    Here are the 17 commandments which may help you to increase positive energy in your home. 
    Always stand in the center of your house with a compass in your hand to find out the directions of your house. 
    The main entrance is the mouth of a house which brings in main energy. Avoid a property which has a door facing south-west, as it is the entry of the devil energy and brings in struggle and misfortunes. If your house already has one, fix two Hanumanji's tiles outside the door and see the difference. 
    Mandir or altar is the king of all Vastu rules — Place it in the north-east and rest of the things will automatically start falling in place. Face east while praying. 
    Kitchen is the symbol of prosperity — and should be ideally placed in the south-east. Kitchen in the North or north-east may bring financial and health problems. In this case hang three bronze bowls up side down on the ceiling but do not hang over the stove. 
    Master bedroom is the key to enter the door of stability — and it must be in the southwest. You should sleep with your head in the south or west. But a bread winner must never sleep in the north -east . 
    Bath rooms and toilets have the energy of 'hell' — which are best in west or south. But should never be in north and north-east or they bring financial, health and educational problems. Center is the nose of your house — from where your house breathes. It must be open and clutter free. A wall here gives stomach and financial problems so fix a zero watt blue bulb on this wall and keep it on 24x7 . Cuts in any direction make a house paralysed — mainly cuts in south-west, north, north-east and south-east give serious problems. There are many mysteries and secrets regarding the cuts and their cures. An evil energy resides in the deep holes in the south-west — underground water tank or a well here is the threatening defect. Water placement (only underground) is good in north, north-east (not on the axis). Water streams, air cavities which are present 200 meters down the earth create a stress line and weaken the EMF of the earth and give birth to Geopathic stress. Sleeping on severe Geopathic stress is the main reason of major and recurring illnesses. 
NOW, A RAPID-FIRE ROUND OF CURES 
Never use too much of bright colours such as red, purple, for decorating your house or they may enhance sickness energy in the house if any. Do not keep water picture or a fountain, in your bedroom or it will affect you. Do not keep your mandir / temple under any beam or cupboard or you will be always under stress. Do not keep heavy objects in the North East and North of or it may block your finances. Do not keep bonsais in the house or they will hamper the growth in the respective area of your life. Mopping the floor twice a week with sea salt water will help you clean your house of negative energy. If 'arguments' are the main ruling energy in your house, play a musical CD four-five times in a day and experience the calmness in the house.
