Your home is a place where you wish to feel relaxed, happy, and energized. Therefore, it is imperative that you create an environment that is full of positive vibrations as that will attract more positivity and abundance into your life.
If you are familiar with the law of attraction, you will know that in the world of energy like attracts like. So if you have positive energy around you, more of the same will be attracted to you and vice versa. Therefore, at Creativebuild we take into consideration the interiors that boost positive energy and we create interiors drawing a lot from the traditional and age old wisdom of Vastu. Here are a few tips from vastu that can help you in creating a positive environment:
1. Create an entrance that is well lit: The entrance of your home is a place from where the energy either enters or exits and you want positive energy to enter your home and negative energy to leave your home. Since it happens through the entrance it is important to keep your entrance well lit. If this is not properly lit and is dark then more of negative energy will enter through it. Also, it helps to keep the main door in the east or northeast direction as east is the direction from where the Sun rises and if your main door opens in the east or northeast direction, you will get light and fresh air in the morning that is important for positive energy to enter.
2. Keep the entrance clean: It is very important to keep the entrance clean for a good vastu. This is the reason why traditionally in India the entrance of the home used to be washed with water and decorated with rangoli as it is assumed that Goddess Laxmi, the deity of wealth enters a home that is clean and beautifully decorated. So according to age-old wisdom it is important to keep the entrance clean for positive energy and prosperity to come in.
3. Get rid of the clutter: For creating more positive energy in your home, it is important that we get rid of the clutter as it creates lot of negative energy and in some cases it can be a reason for disease and financial loss. Therefore, always throw out unnecessary, extra stuff that you do not need, for example, the broken appliances, old and worn out clothes that you no longer wear, and old newspapers piling on your desk etc. You must also get rid of the unnecessary stuff that is lying under your bed storage as it may disrupt your energy field and resultantly your sleep. The more you let go of the old stuff the more you feel lighter and happier.
4. Decorate your home with things that inspire you: It is always a good idea to decorate your living area or bedroom, or study with quotes that inspire you and uplift your soul. You can put up posters of some great leaders with some inspiring quotes, or a candle stand, or a mug with a quote that inspires you. You can adorn the walls of your drawing room, living room, or bedroom with pictures of your loved ones, or pictures that you have a happy memory associated with it so when you look at it, it brings a smile on your face. You can also keep a picture or idol of your favorite deity in your home, so when you look at it you feel positive.
5. Have a puja room or prayer room/meditation room in your home: Having a puja room or meditation room in the home creates a space where positive energy can be nurtured. Experts on vastu believe that creating a sacred space in home helps one to grow spiritually and when one grows spiritually then one automatically grows in prosperity. Creating room for puja or meditation means giving importance to your higher, sacred self and this automatically brings more auspicious energies into your home.
