Divine Vastu Tips for a Joyous Holiday Season, Christmas and New Year Resolutions 2015
Everyone is waiting with bated breath for another New Year,
wondering what 2015 will bring. Make it prosperous and joyous by following a
few Vastu guidelines. Gains, gifts, joyous time, better opportunities and a
great life are forthcoming. Children and adults alike can look forward to
desired gifts and good surprises.
The holidays are mainly about three things: The coming
together of friends and family; Resolutions for the New Year and Giving to
others. Make your family gatherings joyous, harmonious, stress-free
celebrations through Vastu by balancing the five elements (‘Panch Maha-bhootas’) in your home. Why not apply Vastu principles
to prepare for this Christmas?
Vastu can help you experience a peaceful, prosperous, and
harmonious holiday season. How the science of Vastu affects the quality of your
life can be compared to how an antenna affects the quality of your television
reception. Vastu is like the antenna for the quality of your life. If you have
poor reception due to ineffectual antennae, your picture will be distorted or
come in unclear. Having good reception is like having good Vastu.
Similarly, when we plant a seed it takes all five elements
to be in harmony for the seed to sprout, grow and be healthy. The proportion of
too much or too little of any element, whether it is the quality of earth (soil
pH), the amount of water, wind (air) or sun, will inhibit its growth. Just as
the balance of the five elements affects success in nature, the balance
inherent in our environment affects our success in the world. Vastu takes into
account all influences to create an environment in harmony with nature that
supports our quality of life, including our success.
Just as you clean your residence to welcome guests, you need
to clear out all things from the past that are unessential or unnecessary to
your future happiness and success. Your New Year should begin with enhancing
the opportunities for prosperity to enter your life. Your connection to
the supportive, life-enhancing energy will be strong and benefit you if the
five elements in your home are balanced. When you balance your home with the
forces of nature (the five elements
being Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space) through Vastu, you receive the
best possible quality of life for The Holidays and beyond.
Here is what I recommend you to do:
Space Cleansing
Ritual
After you have re-painted the house or cleaned it, perform a
space clearing ritual. Dissolve a lump of rock salt in water and mop the floor
of the apartment with this salt water. Take some camphor in a bowl, burn it and
walk along the sides of each room of the house thereby allowing the space to be
filled with the fragrance of camphor. Before performing these two steps, you
can repeat a positive affirmation:
“By
performing this space clearing ritual, my house is freed from all negative
energies and full of positivity. All the inmates of the house are leading a
healthy, harmonious and prosperous life this Christmas and the full year
ahead.”
Alternately, to
perform the Cleansing Ritual:
- Stand
in the center of a room, your home, or workspace.
- Completely
clear your mind of all thoughts.
- Use
a ‘singing bowl’ or ring a ‘seven-metal bell’ until you feel your
entire space is one or infused with the sound of the singing bowl, or the
ringing of the bells.
- End
the ceremony by lighting sandalwood incense in the space where you performed
the ceremony and several other areas throughout your home.
Lights are a great way to provide decoration and are Vastu
cures, too! For joyous celebrations, avoid blue lights in the South-East zone,
but light some green and red bulbs here. Blue and green lights in the northern
and white/yellow lights in the western zones are good.
Place candles, lights, and red decorations in the South-East
area, which is associated with the ‘Fire’ element, to stimulate a sense of
well-being. Scented candles of pine, vanilla, cinnamon, and cranberry are
festive scents for harmonious holiday gatherings.
A bowl of water with flowers floating in it (or a punch
bowl) placed in the North-East area of the room you use for entertainment will
encourage a prosperous New Year.
De-clutter
your House
Space clearing ritual removes all negative energies from the
space and it can be performed even if you have not re-painted the house on
Christmas. Along with re-painting and space clearing do not forget to remove
all clutter from the house. Just as you clean your residence to welcome guests,
you need to clear out all things from the past that are unessential or
unnecessary to your future happiness and success.
Clear the North-East zone of all clutter, and keep your gods
and worship-related items here. Furthermore, meditation in this zone will
ensure divine grace flows through your house and your body, gifting you with
clarity and good health. Your New Year should begin with enhancing the
opportunities for prosperity to enter your life. Clutter creates stress, drags
your energy down, and limits your ability to be productive and make lucrative
financial decisions. We suggest beginning this Holiday Season by clearing the
clutter and see how new opportunities appear in your life in 2015.
Resolutions for a prosperous New Year should start with clearing the
clutter in your home!
Career
If
you’d like to activate and energize your career this year try this simple
change to get the energy moving. Expand your career and career opportunities
with flowing water. This can be either a fountain or image of flowing water.
Place it in the career area (North-East) of your home.
Inner
Knowledge
To strengthen your connection to your inner guidance
and encourage new ideas place a plant in the Inner Knowledge area (South-West)
of your home. Plants are a source of vibrant, healthy energy and they attract
positive energy. They literally support the energy that ‘grows’ within you;
ideas, wisdom and knowledge.
Family and
Foundation
Strengthen
your family ties with the movement and energy of sound. Hang a lovely wind
chime in the Family and Foundation area of your home, as you hang the chime
envision each movement sending gentle, supportive energy embracing your family
with love. Keep a framed picture of your family in the South-West, as it will
strengthen bonds of love and affection.
Wealth
Activate
and energize abundance in your life by placing a mirror in the wealth area
(North) of your home. Mirrors enlarge and expand the space they are in,
attracting energy and doubling it!
This New Year, if you plan to invest in property tries to
buy a Vastu compliant one. Higher gains are the result. Pay attention to
adjacent roads and slopes. If the plot is for commercial use, then, choose it
according to its intended purpose.
Fame and
Reputation
Improve and enhance your reputation by adding bright
light to the fame area (West) of your home. A proper utilization of westerly
portion of plot leads to reputation, fame, prosperity and success for the
owner. Light represents fire energy, imagine your reputation growing brighter
and stronger each time you turn on the light!
Relationships
Empower
your relationship by moving your bedroom into either the back right or back
left corner of your home (assuming your bedroom is not already located in
either position). If your bedroom is already in one of the power corners
(South-West) of your home, enhance it further by placing your bed in the
command position (solid wall behind the headboard, with full view of the
bedroom door and the room around you.
Earth element decorations such as, holly, wreaths, wood
figurines, or ceramics (such as the Dove of Peace) work best in the South-West
area of your gathering area to support family harmony. Hang bells and chimes in the North-West area, related to the ‘Air’
element, to enhance joyous relationships.
Creativity
and Children
Awaken the
energy of creativity with a metal wind chime. Envision each ripple of sound
energizing and enhancing creativity and supporting and nurturing a childlike
sense of wonder and joy.
Helpful
People
Create a helpful people box and fill it with the
names and or images of helpful people in your life. If you desire more helpful
people in your life, write an affirmation to draw helpful people to you. As you
place the affirmation in the box, picture the energy of the affirmation flowing
from your home, increasing your connections, networking opportunities and
friends. Place your gifts in the eastern zone
for better social connectivity.
Health
Reduce
and clear all clutter from the Center (‘Brahmasthan’) of your home. When the Center
is clear, the energy of health is strengthened. Keep the Center space element
area open and uncluttered to support stress-free communication and
encourage the success of your holiday gatherings.
“Welcome the New
Year as an Honored Guest and visualize that you are washing away, sweeping away
any illness, quarrels, stress, disappointments or any negative energies from
the past year. Use Vastu and have a Happy New Year 2015 with Good Health,
Wealth, Happiness, Love and Peace.”
