Do not place the kitchen unit close to the wall. Differences between Vastu and Feng Shui

To begin with, it is important to determine the landmark of your house, this can be done using a google map meps.

A correctly oriented house is one in which the walls are parallel to the cardinal points - north, south, west, east
(Fig. 1). If your house has an offset landmark,
you unfold the plan of the apartment in relation to your house (Fig. 2). Further, along the innermost points of the apartment, it is necessary to draw the perimeter up to a rectangle (Fig. 3) and divide it into 8 equal parts (Fig. 4).

Each sector in the apartment is responsible for a certain aspect of life: C - zone of wealth, SV - spirituality,
H - health, SE - female energy, Yu - transformation and strength, SW - protection and influence, W - learning and old age, NW - relationships.

If there is a defect or clutter in a certain sector of the apartment, then the aspect of life for which this sector is responsible will suffer. For example, if the north - a zone of wealth - is affected by a pantry or toilet, then these defects will affect financial flows. And if the eastern sector (health) is closed (does not have windows and doors) or is absent, then the most insignificant thing that can be -
this is a breakdown and malaise among the tenants of this apartment.

Before analyzing and adjusting your home, you need to know about defects and the basic principles of organizing space.

The main disadvantages in Vastu science are the toilet and any sinks in the areas of maximum flow of favorable solar energy- SV, S and V. Moreover, the aspects of life for which these sectors are responsible are fundamental - physical and mental health, spiritual development and personal prosperity, wealth, which includes financial flows, food, warm relationships with people. It is also unfavorable if these sectors are absent, or closed by storerooms, dark corridors.

The second most powerful defect in Vastu is the bathrooms, toilet rooms, kitchens, ventilation shafts or fireplaces when they are in the center of the apartment. In the space of such dwellings, the owners may often have conflicts, because the Brahmastana (central part) is the "center of the world." Also, if there is a bathroom / toilet on the SE, SE of the apartment, there is a lot of water in the "fire" zone, then an imbalance of primary elements occurs.

For a complete analysis of an apartment or house, identification of defects and correction methods, it is best to contact a specialist at www.vastu-projects. So that you can figure it out on your own, I will give the basic principles of space harmonization. There are 2 types of correction:

1. On the physical plane - when we change everything in our power: rearrange furniture, install mirrors, correctly zoning rooms, carry out color correction and even sometimes demolish walls.

2. On thin plan- when a certain sector is missing, the landmark of the house has already been shifted and sewerage it is impossible to transfer, then yantras and special plates come to the rescue.

The basic rules of harmonization: one of the principles of Vastu says: S, SV and V must be opened and released as much as possible, and Z, SW and S should be better organized more closed, weighted; on C, SV and B it is best to place a living room, an office, if bedrooms, then children's; when toilets / bathrooms / kitchens fall into these zones, then on the physical plane it is important to organize them more spacious, light, airy, apply color correction: on C - green, white with gold elements, on CB - all shades of yellow, on B - peach, all sunny warm colors.

The drain holes must be closed with special correctors - copper and marble plates. If you do not have the plates yet, then cover the holes in the sinks and bathrooms with pebble stones in diameter or seashells.

It is important to block the holes through which the maximum flow of favorable energy flows out. And visually expand the space of these sectors by installing a mirror on the C, NE or in the walls. But this can only be done in the bathroom. Mirrors are not recommended in the toilet and kitchen. All the same rules apply to the rooms in the central area. It is necessary to use white, beige colors.

Apartment analysis, defects and correction methods in our online school VastuProjects take more than 12 hours of study, so in this section I will gradually acquaint you with the basics of this unique and practical science of the harmonious organization of space.
I wish you love and prosperity! Remember that Vastu does not work where it is dirty, therefore, dear hostesses, please observe cleanliness throughout the apartment, including closets and balconies / loggias.

Olesya Veselova - Vastu-architect, head of the training online schools VastuProjects.

Our house, being a place of power, should charge us with excellent mood and vivacity. We will use simple Feng Shui techniques for this. Invisible Qi energy permeates all space around us - air, sunlight, food, according to the ancient Taoist practice of Feng Shui. Difficulty, for any reason, the flow of qi affects its inhabitants negatively. Trash and rubbish are dangerous enemies of qi. Each of us had to be in houses filled with objects beyond measure. In such houses, there is a feeling of fatigue, stagnation and apathy. Let's take the first steps to "strengthen" your apartment - this will be cleaning. Feng Shui cleaning. But before you do it, take a walk in the fresh air to escape from the routine and tune in with natural energy on the same wavelength.

Returning from a walk, sequentially inspect all the premises in the house. You need to find objects that are out of place, we are not talking about a mess. Pay attention to the objects that "catch the eye", because the same thing will happen to the energy, interfering with its free flow. Move the chair, get rid of the empty boxes under the sofa, remove the stack of books from the table. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, they will provide a burst of energy and give a sense of novelty even small rearrangements.

After you have removed the external barriers to the flow of qi, it is time to tackle the islets of energy stagnation, which are hard-to-reach places, rarely remembered by us. That bottom drawer writing desk, mezzanine, cupboard in the kitchen. After the general cleaning carried out here, it will immediately become easier to breathe.

We act. We take a capacious package and put into it three unnecessary items, broken, unused, old, from each category:

stationery;
discs and cassettes;
cosmetics;
clothes and accessories.

You can continue this list yourself. Do not forget: useful things give us strength, the same things that have been idle for years, "de-energize" us, pulling energy onto themselves. So get rid of them without any regret.

We act... Very simple and efficient method feng shui - we do not leave garbage in the apartment and take it out every evening. Besides the sanitary and aesthetic effect, it will strengthen the qi. It makes no sense to put bags outside the apartment - we are influenced by the energy of the surrounding space. Take a couple of minutes and walk to the trash chute or combine an evening walk with taking out the trash.

To attract favorable energy flows, use color range white, yellow, brown, gold and silver colors, your home will become a real place of power. Also, this positive effect will have a good effect on the health of the expectant mother, who will also benefit from exercises for pregnant women in the 3rd trimester. The Earth symbol also corresponds to the current cycle, which is why indoor plants are so desirable. Qi is enhanced by flowers bright shades... The positive effect of cut flowers lasts no more than three days... But it should be borne in mind that there should be neither fresh flowers nor their images in the bedroom. This place is for two only. So find a place for the aquarium, home garden, photographs and paintings of animals and people in other rooms. This does not mean that any images in the bedroom are inappropriate. Just make sure they are paired - two decorative pillows, two glasses, two red candles. This promotes harmonious relationships, activates "love magic". In order to find a life partner or bring romance to the relationship in the bedroom, put paired figurines of mandarin ducks, symbolizing marital fidelity and a happy marriage.

Vastu is translated from Sanskrit as "to live". Housing is considered as a living organism, which is influenced by the electromagnetic field of the Earth, the energies of 7 planets solar system and 2 Lunar nodes - north and south (Ketu and Rahu).

Each sector of the apartment is under the tutelage of its mentor planet and is responsible for a specific area of human life. By equipping a dwelling taking into account energy flows, harmonizing the influence of the planets, a person significantly improves his life and health.

Vastu on the physical level means comfortable and comfortable space... On the psychological level, along with the aesthetic effect, a feeling of well-being appears, tension goes away and family relations improve. At the spiritual level, there is a feeling of harmony, the desire for self-knowledge.

The task of the vastu is to help a person achieve harmony with the Universe. Let in the beneficial energy as much as possible, and block the negative energy as much as possible.

The first energy law of vastu says: there are two flows of positive energy on Earth: from north to south and from east to west. Accordingly, the most powerful movement is from the north-east to the south-west - this is the geophysical nature of the Earth. 2 important rules follow from this law.

1 rule. You cannot sleep with your head to the north and northeast, since the lines of the electromagnetic fields of the Earth and man in this case will coincide, and according to the law of physics, the poles of the same name are repelled (the Earth has a pole from north to south, in a person - from head to feet). And if a person sleeps with his head to the north, an imbalance of important vital functions occurs: this can cause impaired blood circulation, heartbeat, and poor health in general. All other areas are equally favorable for sleep.

2 rule. It is necessary to strengthen the northern, eastern and northeastern sectors of the apartment in order to increase the flow of favorable energy into the house, and to weigh down the southern, southwest and southeast sectors in order to block negative energy. Each sector corresponds to a certain area of life and health, therefore, the more harmonious this sector is, the more successful this area of life will be.

Examining our apartment - building a vastu grid

Step 1. We take an exact plan of the apartment with the arrangement of furniture. It is better to take the BTI plan and draw it to scale, arrange the furniture. We fit the plan into a square or rectangle. Errors and inaccuracies at this stage will lead to incorrect analysis and conclusions. Therefore, the drawing should be as accurate and accurate as possible.

STEP 2. We find the center of the apartment.

STEP 3. We put a wind rose on the center and unfold the plan so that the north is on top. Now again we enter the plan into a square or rectangle, the sides of which coincide with the cardinal points.

STEP 4. We divide each side into 3 equal parts, the whole square (rectangle) will accordingly be divided into 9 sectors of the same size. Each apartment has its own individual sizes and proportions, so everyone will have their own grid. You cannot use your grid to analyze a neighbor's apartment. This is why it is very important to have an accurate plan.

STEP 5. The points of intersection of the lines are called Marme points - these are sensitive points on which walls or furniture should not stand. The inner sector between the points is called Brahmastana (or Brahmastana) - this space should always be free.

We analyze the apartment

Sectors, planets and spheres of life

NORTH. Water / air. Mercury. This planet is responsible for business, trade, education, welfare. And also for friendship and ability to communicate with people in general. On the northern wall of the house, it is good to place a library, shelves with books, mirrors, vessels with water (vases with flowers, an aquarium). Sitting facing north or northeast at your desk will improve your memory and help your business grow. It is also good to keep money in this sector, put a piggy bank or a safe (so that its doors face north). The zone is good for an office, library, study. Are favorable big windows, entrance doors... Unfavorable: placing a bathroom or installing a TV.

NORTHEAST. Water / Ether. Jupiter, Ketu. Jupiter is responsible for spirituality, luck, children, health and material wealth, and Ketu is responsible for our past service. This is the sector of the entrance of the most positive energy, so we put low light furniture, amulets, icons, holy water. A great place for meditation, prayer and spiritual practices (facing east and northeast), recovery from illness. Place water sources, aquarium, flowers, mirrors favorably. It is very dangerous to have dirt and debris in this sector (there is a risk of cancer).

EAST. Fire / Ether. The sun. The zone is responsible for our inner "I", character, charisma, spine, male energy. Perfect place for meditation, meeting the dawn. If the windows face east, it is very favorable to keep them open, letting in light as much as possible into the room. Better not to hang curtains on the east windows at all. An excellent place for spiritual and health practices, massages. The best place to enter.

SOUTHEAST. Fire. Venus. This is the sector of beauty, romance, female happiness, harmony in the family. In general, he is responsible for the relationship between a man and a woman. Candles, aromatic oils, jewelry boxes, beautiful expensive interior items, fresh flowers, fruit vases. The best place for creativity, games with children, salon, living room, TV and kitchen.

SOUTH. Fire / Earth. Mars. Mars carries the energies of fire, therefore a fireplace and candles work very well in this sector. Place live poppies or their image in this sector. A good place for the kitchen or gym... The location of the entrance to the apartment, as well as the bathroom, is unfavorable.

SOUTHWEST. Land. Rahu. This is the zone itself negative energy at home, but at the same time it is the sector of the clan, ancestors, your family clan - the protection of the house. Place the tallest and heaviest furniture here, hang heavy blackout curtains on the windows. Place photos of your ancestors, family tree, large ficus, decorate the area with flowers and indoor plants... It is very unfavorable to have a toilet in this part of the apartment. The best place for the bedroom of spouses, owners of the house, newlyweds (roots grow into the genus).

WEST. Water / air / earth. Saturn. Saturn is responsible for perseverance, learning (facing west), responsibility. Good position heavy cabinets, wardrobes, pantries for storing canned goods and storing various things at home. The best sector for the elderly (if grandparents live in the house, then it is better to place their room here). Nice place for dining table... West-facing windows are also best kept curtained.

NORTHWEST. Air. Moon. The moon personifies motherhood, care, a sense of inner satisfaction with life, calmness (or anxiety) of the mind, relationship with mom, feminine energy... It is very favorable to have an icon of the Virgin and Child in this area. It is believed that this is the only sector in which everything can be located. It is not recommended only for the owners of the house to sleep if they plan to live their whole life in this house. But for a guest bedroom, this is the best place. You can place everything related to cold (to calm the mind): fan, air conditioner, refrigerator.

CENTRE. Ether. Brahmasthana (Brahmasthana). This is the "heart of the apartment" (corresponds to the human heart chakra). The most subtle energy is there. It is enhanced by harmonious music and sounds of nature. You can't swear. It is not recommended to hang chandeliers in the center of Bramastana. Place for a hall or living room.

The importance of the sector's influence on the energy of the home:

The most important sectors in an apartment or house are northeast and center.
Then - the southwest sector.
In third place are East, South, West and North.
The least significant are the southeast and northwest.

The southern side of the house is under the auspices of Mars and carries the energies of fire. A fireplace, candles "work" well in this sector, this is a favorable place for a kitchen. It is not for nothing that a synonym for a family is a home.

Color correction

Influence of colors on chakras

Red (Mars) - increases blood pressure, appetite, warms the atmosphere in the house.
Blue (Saturn) - lowers appetite, can cause depression (in case of excess of blue color in the House).
Green (Mercury) - ideal for doctors' offices, open theaters.
Golden yellow - greatly improves the quality of healthy food (gold absorbs negativity).
Light colors lower blood pressure.

Color harmonization to the cardinal points

North - light green, aqua.
North-East - yellow, gold, orange, white, lavender.
East - yellow, gold, orange (sunny colors) and white.
Southeast - pink, lavender, variegated, white, any very light, pastel.
South - red, burgundy, coral, a combination of gray and pink, white.
Southwest - natural brown, dark green, khaki, olive, terracotta, brick.
West - blue, violet, bright blue, bright saturated and dark colors.
Northwest - creamy, pearlescent, silver, light gray (moon colors).

Sector harmonization

Each sector corresponds to a certain sphere of human life and health, therefore, the more harmoniously this sector is planned and organized, the more successful the corresponding sphere of life will be. Harmonization methods improve the general condition of the apartment by 30-40%. Factors that enhance or weaken the energy potential of space:

Water, mirrors- enhance (especially needed in the northern, eastern, northeastern sectors). Mirrors are positioned so that they face north, east, northeast.
Weight, mass- makes the potential heavier (we close the southwest).
Fire, ether- increase (south, southeast, east).

9 correction steps that will improve energy performance at home

1. If you are planning a renovation, then you can make a redevelopment of the apartment - make the following architectural changes.

Place living areas in the most favorable locations.
Proportions and sizes affect the characteristics of the space: the ideal shape is a "square" or "rectangle", the proportions are 1: 1, 2: 3, 3: 4. The living room and bedrooms should be the most spacious and luminous areas of the apartment.
It is advisable to plan the doors of the rooms in one direction.
Avoid combining two different functional areas in the same room (for example: kitchen and living room, living room and bedroom, bathroom and toilet).

2. If it is impossible to make redevelopment, then you can change the purpose of the rooms. According to the importance of location, such zones are priority.

Main entrance, kitchen and toilet. INPUT - attunement of the energies of the house with the neurons of the brain. Perfect place to enter a house or apartment - northeast, since positive energy comes in from this side. Worst - south, southwest - Mars energy enters. Then the bedroom and bathroom are ranked according to the importance of location.

3. Rearrange furniture for the most favorable north-east direction. Heavy and tall furniture to the South, West, Southwest, close to the walls. Light and low - to the North, East, North-East, while it is desirable to move it away from the wall. Free the center.

4. Create zoning in interior ways (for example, fence the kitchen with a screen).

5. Unload the entrance area as much as possible - it should be light, clean, free. Keep the toilet door and toilet lid closed at all times.

7. Correct the sectors by 5 elements:

North-East - water (put vases with water, aquarium, water image).
Southeast - fire (candles, pictures of the sunrise).
Northwest - air (fans, air conditioners, images of mills, running horses).
Southwest - land ( family photos, family tree, photo albums, houseplants).
Brahmastana - ether (free light space, pleasant sounds).

8. Color correction for each sector. The color of the planet-ruler of the entrance to the house / apartment is the main color for the whole house. Neutral colors: white, milky, any pastel.

9. Make good habits for all the inhabitants of the house: clean, often ventilate, wash dishes right away, take out trash and garbage, keep all cabinets and shelves clean and tidy, make sure that the toilet doors are always closed, and close the toilet lid. All water sources must be clean: sinks, bathtubs, dishes, vases.

If a pet lives in an apartment, it is necessary to carefully remove all traces of his life activity (wash, vacuum, keep all areas of his stay in perfect cleanliness, since pets bring the energy of ignorance into the living area).

Try not to sleep in the same room as your cat-dog. In addition, we can also say that each person has his own special place in the house, where he is most comfortable and useful to be. This place is calculated based on the exact time, date and place of birth. It is best if this calculation is done by a professional Vedic astrologer.

It is believed that good karma is to have a good large, bright apartment in a new house. It is even better to have your own house in nature, in seclusion, built according to all the laws of vastu, far from the influence of neighbors. By the way, neighbors are a study of patience, humility, acceptance. We have been given exactly those neighbors who will help develop these necessary qualities.

There are no unambiguously bad and good apartments- each apartment is most favorable for its owner and all people living in it during this period of life. Interestingly, the Masters Vedic astrology can compose the most accurate natal chart a person according to his dwelling. A person changes - his apartment also changes.

Mantra for harmonizing the house (apartment): OM MAHABHARATA VASTAPURUSA SVAHA.

Let your harmonious apartment serve as a source of inexhaustible strength and optimism!

What are the first impressions we usually experience from moving to new house... As a rule, it was built according to the so-called. monolithic principle. In addition, the house has large windows - from ceiling to floor. It seems to look nice, but somehow it is still uncomfortable. How is it possible to harmonize space?

In recent decades, it has become very fashionable to use large quantities of glass materials, metal products as well as concrete. But in Feng Shui philosophy, glass is the material that subconscious causes fears and unconscious fears.

In addition, non-edged glass surfaces are a source of unwanted energy emissions and, together with load-bearing beams ceilings, coupled with columns, negatively affect the whole energy of the surrounding space. Hence - a feeling of discomfort in a new home. To neutralize the specified negative effect of delights modern construction, the filling of our homes should be carefully considered.

From the point of view of feng shui, the style that is associated with the use of natural materials: ceramics, cork, wood. They subconsciously "bring up" in people softness, flexibility, equal attitude to what is happening. However, it is important not to overdo it, because an excessive amount of wood in the house, especially oak, can provoke malfunctions in the functioning of the cardiovascular system.

If something causes internal rejection, it should be excluded from the interior, otherwise health problems may follow.

Unfortunately, the "achievements" of civilization in the form of heated floors, hundreds of meters of electrical wires, water pipes in walls and floors, as well as air conditioners, can weaken our immunity. If it is not possible to re-equip the room and get rid of these "benefits", try at least not to sleep in a room with cables or heated floors.

Plants, various aromas, calm music play an important role in the interior - they improve the overall energy. So, instead of an air conditioner, you can use “thunderstorm sounds” or “rain music” - and the body mobilizes “internal cooling”.

A few words about the quality of the concrete used in the construction of our new homes. Namely - ready-mixed concrete. The production of which is a rather complicated process associated with the use of large-scale modern equipment and special vehicles for its transportation to the construction site.

Finished concrete mix, as you know, is a composition based on sand with crushed stone, fastened with cement and water. Considering all the complexities of the manufacturing technology, concrete is best purchased at specialized enterprises - concrete plants.

One of the competent representatives in this area is deservedly considered the company "Concrete plant in Vyritsa", on the website of which - http://beton-vyrica.ru/kontakty.html you can get acquainted with the widest range of these products and purchase concrete for various needs at an affordable price.

The company provides concrete of various densities for all types of work: for foundations, building erection, road construction and other construction needs, depending on the scope of use. The cost of a cubic meter depends on the customer's desire for the composition of the required mixture, used in the manufacturing process of the material, and its classification.

Nowadays, many requirements are imposed on the space of the house. It should be spacious, with a relatively small number of things, multifunctional, and most importantly, it should have a beneficial effect on the state of a person's emotional health. But for its impact to be positive, the space itself must be emotionally healthy. To do this, you need to follow a few rules.

Rule 1: Space must breathe.

This means that the room needs to be ventilated periodically. Fresh air allows information field spaces to be renewed. Therefore, if you are working on a complex project that requires constant concentration and attention from you, open windows more often - useful ideas and "smart" thoughts will not keep you waiting long.

Rule 2: Light must pass freely.

In China, light is believed to be life. More light means more life. Not the best way the health of the space is affected by the covering of windows in the daytime with thick curtains, blinds or gluing on the windows of a special film to protect from sunlight. Alternatively, you can offer in summer period just change the tulle color from white to more muted tones or use thicker fabrics. In winter, when the length of daylight hours decreases, on the contrary, it is preferable to choose tulle white light texture.

Space tends to accumulate information. Therefore, do not forget about the timely washing of windows and curtains. The more often you do this, the more often the "mood" of your home will be updated.

Rule 3: What fewer cabinets in the house the better.

The number of cabinets in a room directly affects the health of the space. The fact is that any hollow interior items tend to accumulate energy. This means that the energy in them does not move, but simply stagnates.

On this occasion, the story of one friend immediately comes to mind: “It seemed to me that everything in my life was going well. Career, wealth, family - everything was available. However, I could not boast of my health. He cured one thing - another began to hurt. The doctors did nothing but prescribe new directions for tests and make new diagnoses. At some point, I finally got tired of this, I decided to contact a representative of alternative medicine.

After listening to my complaints, the first thing the healer asked me was: "Do you like to store things?" Not giving it much importance, I nodded my head. "Free the cabinets from unnecessary junk - you will recover!", - he summed up.

But he was right. For as long as I could remember, it was always psychologically difficult to part with a shabby jacket or trousers, which I was definitely not going to wear. It was a pity somehow, I thought: "Perhaps it will come in handy !?" And here is ...

After our conversation, I dismantled things not only in all the closets of the house, but also conducted an audit in my garage, to be sure. I don’t know if my recovery is connected with this, but after a large-scale cleaning all my seemingly chronic ailments disappeared. Now, if something becomes unnecessary, I either throw it away or give it to someone else who really needs this thing in the household. "

In order to properly balance the energy and make it "move", firstly, you need to sort out things in the closet as often as possible and periodically throw out unnecessary ones. And secondly, keep things clean and neatly folded.

Rule 4: Wet cleaning is the key to well-being.

Few people know that wet cleaning has a beneficial effect not only on the physical health of household members, but can also serve well in the formation of family well-being.

Dust, debris, dirt symbolizes old age - the past. By freeing space from debris and dust, we thereby free up space for the new. It was not for nothing that in Russia, during the cleaning, women often said: “Let all adversity go away, but good comes!”. Therefore, do not be lazy - "general" more often!
