Tulsi is More Than a Plant, it’s a Natural Vastu Healer

In so many Indian homes, you’ll find a Tulsi plant quietly growing near the entrance or in a sunlit corner of the courtyard. It’s not just a tradition—it’s a powerful energy stabiliser. In Vastu, Tulsi isn’t just a plant. It’s a purifier. A guardian. And in many cases, a gentle corrector of Vastu imbalances.

Tulsi naturally emits sattvik (pure and balanced) vibrations. It improves air quality, but also—more subtly—purifies the aura of the space it’s in. That’s why it’s especially helpful in zones where energy might be dull, blocked, or agitated.

Ideally, Tulsi should be placed in the North, North-East, or East directions. These are the directions of water and air, and Tulsi complements their nature beautifully. It brings in clarity, peace, and spiritual harmony. A Tulsi plant in the North-East can often reduce the effects of Vastu doshas in that zone—especially if there’s a bathroom, kitchen, or heavy storage there.

A family I worked with once had a North-East cut in their flat, and adding a Tulsi plant near the window helped bring lightness back into the home. It didn’t ‘fix’ the architectural flaw—but energetically, it softened the impact.

Avoid placing Tulsi in the South or South-West. These zones are dominated by fire and earth, and the cooling, spiritual nature of Tulsi doesn’t align with their dense energies. If you’re unsure, just observe: a struggling or withering Tulsi plant often signals imbalance.

Water it regularly, treat it like a living guest, and you’ll start noticing shifts—calmer minds, better sleep, and a sense of emotional grounding. It’s that gentle.

Sometimes, Vastu doesn’t need complicated tools or elaborate changes. Sometimes, all it takes is a humble Tulsi plant, placed with intention and care.

Money Slipping Through Your Fingers? Try These Vastu Shifts

By Maadhur 0 Comments

Money isn’t just about income—it’s also about retention. I often meet people who earn well but still feel like money just disappears. Expenses pile up, savings feel impossible, and there’s a quiet frustration behind every swipe of the card. That’s when we look at Vastu.

In Vastu, the North and South-West zones play a big role in financial stability. North governs flow of wealth, while South-West anchors it. If either is imbalanced—cluttered, damaged, or misused—it can affect how easily you hold on to money.

Here’s what I recommend first: check the North zone of your home. Is it blocked? Are there dustbins, toilets, or heavy storage there? If yes, clear it up. Add a mirror or a water feature here to enhance flow. If possible, keep this area light and open.

Now turn to the South-West. This is where you need grounding. Don’t keep valuables here randomly—store them in a safe that faces North or East. Use earthy colours like beige or mud brown in this area to stabilize energy. A cluttered South-West often leads to decision fatigue and impulsive spending.

One of my clients, a young entrepreneur, had her work desk in the North-East bathroom zone and her safe placed under a staircase. Her income was strong, but she couldn’t retain a penny. We shifted her workspace to the West (for results), cleared the North, and realigned the placement of her safe. Three months later, she called to say her first major savings were finally happening.

You can also add subtle remedies like keeping a Gomati Chakra or a green aventurine crystal in the North zone. Burn a clove and camphor mix every Friday evening—it clears stagnant money blocks.

The goal isn’t to “fix” your finances overnight—but to bring your home’s energy into a state where wealth feels safe to stay. And often, that shift begins with a few intentional tweaks.

Simple Vastu Remedies for a Rented Apartment

By Maadhur 0 Comments

Vastu isn’t just about architecture. It’s about flow. Energy. Intent. And luckily, you don’t always need to tear down walls or shift entire rooms to bring your space into harmony. Even in a rented apartment, with a few thoughtful adjustments, you can invite more peace, better health, smoother relationships, and even financial ease.

So today, I’m sharing some tried-and-tested Vastu remedies specifically for rented homes.

Cleanse the Space Before Moving In

Before you even unpack a single box, take time to clear the old energy. You never know what kind of emotional baggage the previous tenants may have left behind.

Burn camphor or incense (loban works beautifully), sprinkle sea salt water in corners, and ring a small bell in each room to lift the vibration.

Place a Mirror with Intention

If your apartment has the kitchen in the wrong direction (like Southwest or North), you can’t rebuild it—but you can balance it. One easy fix is placing a mirror on the opposite wall so it reflects the stove. This “doubles” the fire energy and symbolically redirects it.

Salt Bowls for Energy Absorption

Salt is powerful when it comes to absorbing negative energy. Place small glass bowls filled with rock salt or sea salt in the corners of each room—especially bathrooms or dark corners.

Balance Directions with Color and Decor

Let’s say your bedroom is in the wrong zone—like a Southeast bedroom that’s meant for fire, not rest. You can’t relocate it, but you can soften its impact.

In that case, avoid red or orange tones and bring in cooler shades like white, beige, or pale green. Add calming elements—like soft fabrics, indoor plants, or a peaceful painting—to counter the fire energy.

Your Space, Your Energy

Look, I get it—sometimes you’re just passing through. Maybe you’re renting for work, in a transition phase, or waiting to buy your own place. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for living in a space that doesn’t feel right. Even the smallest changes, made with love and intention, can transform a rented apartment into a place that truly feels like home.

New Home Buying Vastu Checklist

By Maadhur 0 Comments

If you’re reading this, you’re probably on the journey of buying a new home—or at least thinking about it. Whether it’s your very first home or a long-awaited upgrade, choosing the right space is one of the most personal and meaningful decisions you’ll ever make.

A house can be picture-perfect on paper, but if the energy isn’t right, it might never truly feel like home.

That’s why I put together this Vastu checklist, the things I look for every single time I walk through a new property—because they impact your health, happiness, and relationships.

So, let’s walk through it together, shall we?

1. The Direction the House Faces

One of the very first things I check is which direction the house faces.

East-facing homes are filled with morning light, which brings freshness, clarity, and good health. I often recommend them for families, teachers, or those in creative or spiritual professions.
North-facing homes are ideal for financial growth and prosperity.
West-facing homes can be good too—but they need careful evaluation to ensure the energy isn’t too heavy.
South-facing homes have a bit of a reputation, but they’re not always bad. They just need more Vastu balancing and care.

2. The Main Entrance

The main door is like the mouth of the house. It’s where energy flows in—and believe me, it makes a world of difference.

An ideal entrance is in the North, East, or Northeast zone. These directions allow positive energy to enter freely and support the flow of health, wealth, and peace.

3. The Kitchen and the Fire Element

In Vastu, the kitchen is deeply connected to health, energy levels, and relationships. The best placement for it is in the Southeast, where the fire element belongs naturally. If that’s not possible, the Northwest can work too.

4. The Master Bedroom

We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping, so the placement of the bedroom is a big deal. For couples, I strongly recommend the Southwest bedroom. It promotes stability, deeper emotional bonding, and a grounded atmosphere.

Final Words

If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed reading all this—please don’t worry. What matters is awareness. When you know what to look for, you can make wiser choices—or simple corrections that bring harmony back.

Vastu Tips for Hassle-Free Construction

By Maadhur 0 Comments

If you’re about to start building your dream home—firstly, many congratulations! Now, let me share something- the right Vastu planning from the very beginning can save so much time, stress, and even money. When energy flows right from Day One, the construction itself tends to go smoother—less delays, fewer unexpected issues, and a stronger emotional connection to the space.

So, allow me to share a checklist of Vastu tips for peaceful and successful construction. Let’s start shall we?

Start with the Right Plot

Before you lay the foundation, check the land’s viability. A rectangular or square plot is best, because symmetry equals stability. And if the land is sloping, then a slope in the East or North direction is best. Steer clear of plots falling in the South or Southwest.

Do Bhoomi Poojan with Intention

Bhoomi Poojan is not only a ritual but also a means of showing respects towards the land and receiving its blessings before construction. I always encourage families to be fully present for it. Light a lamp, offer prayers, and set your intentions clearly.

Dig the Borewell First—and in the Right Direction

If you’re adding a borewell or water tank, do that before the foundation. And place it in the Northeast if you can. This direction governs water and clarity. Just avoid placing it in the South or Southwest. That often leads to drainage, emotionally and financially.

Start Foundation Work from the Southwest

When it comes to laying the foundation, always begin from the Southwest and gradually move towards the Northeast. It’s a subtle yet powerful way to anchor your space in strength before inviting in light.

Temporary Shed or Site Office? Place It in the Right Spot

If you’re setting up a temporary structure for labor or material storage, keep it in the South, Southwest, or West. Never in the Northeast. That corner should stay open, light, and clutter-free—even during construction.

One Last Thought

Building a home is sacred work. Don’t worry if everything isn’t perfect. Vastu isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about creating balance, harmony, and joy. The fact that you’re thinking about energy, alignment, and well-being already puts you far ahead.

How Vastu Doshas Can Affect Your Health: What You Should Know

By Maadhur 0 Comments

We all know that our surroundings can affect how we feel. A cluttered room can make us feel anxious and peaceful spaces can help us relax. But did you know that, according to Vastu Shastra, the layout and energy flow of your home can actually affect your health in deeper ways? That’s where Vastu doshas come in.

What Is a Vastu Dosha, Really?
Vastu is about balance—balancing your home with the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. When these aren’t in harmony with the directions , the energy can feel stuck or heavy. That’s what we call a dosha.

Common Doshas and Health Issues

Let’s start with the bedroom. This is where your body is supposed to rest, reset, and heal. But if your bedroom is placed in the wrong part of the house, it might be doing the exact opposite.

For example, if your bedroom is in the northeast—an area traditionally meant for spiritual energy—you might find yourself waking up tired, even after a full night’s sleep. Or worse, you may struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or emotional overwhelm.

The kitchen is where energy is created, quite literally, through food. But when it’s placed in the northeast or north, that fire element clashes with water or air elements, which can lead to issues like bloating, acidity, or general weakness.

You know that heavy feeling in a room with no windows or ventilation? That’s not just claustrophobia—it can actually affect your respiratory health. Vastu pays a lot of attention to the movement of air and light. When these get blocked, it doesn’t just dull the energy of a home—it can make you feel foggy, tired, or even anxious.

Your home is where your life happens, when it supports you, you sleep better, breathe easier, and carry less tension in your body. So if you’ve been feeling “off” lately—physically, mentally, or emotionally—it might be time to look around and ask: Is my home in harmony with me?

Why Clutter or Heavy Objects Are Not Recommended in the Brahmasthan

By Maadhur 0 Comments

If you’ve ever come across Vastu Shastra or even just heard someone talk about energy in a home, you might’ve heard of something called the Brahmasthan. It’s the center of your home—the heart of the space. According to Vastu, you’re not supposed to fill this center with clutter or heavy furniture. It’s about creating a home that feels lighter, happier, and peaceful.

Why Clutter and Heavy Objects Create a Problem

We all do it. That center spot in our home sometimes ends up being the “drop zone”—bags, laundry baskets, a big old table no one uses, or furniture that’s just… there. Over time, that center becomes crowded without us even noticing.

But here’s the truth: clutter doesn’t just take up space, it slows things down. It creates a kind of fog, both in the room and in your mind. You might feel more irritated, restless, or overwhelmed—and you won’t always know why.

Heavy furniture in the center has a similar effect. A big cabinet or heavy sofa placed right in the middle of the home can press down on the energy, making things feel heavy or blocked in life.

Simple Ways to Bring That Balance Back

If you’re looking around your home now and realizing the center is kind of crowded, don’t worry. You don’t need to do anything drastic. Just start small.

Move that unused table a bit to the side. Clear out anything that feels “stuck” or out of place. Let some natural light in if you can. Maybe lay down a soft rug or place a light decorative piece like a small lamp, a plant, or a diya (oil lamp). Keep it simple and light.

Even just cleaning and tidying that space can shift the whole mood of your home. You might be surprised how something so small can make you feel lighter and more peaceful.

The Brahmasthan isn’t just a point on a floor plan—it’s the silent center that holds everything together. When you care for it with love and attention, it gives back.

How to Fix Missing Corners as Per Vastu

By Maadhur 0 Comments

So, you’ve just realized your home has a “missing corner,” and now you’re wondering what that means and how serious it is. Don’t panic—you’re not alone. In modern buildings, especially apartments and oddly shaped plots, missing corners are pretty common. But yes, according to Vastu Shastra, these gaps can throw off the energy balance of a home. The good news? You don’t need to rebuild your house to fix it.

Common Problems Linked to Missing Corners

You may face different issues depending on which corner is missing. For instance, a missing northeast corner could block clarity, spiritual growth, and peace of mind. People might feel confused, stuck, or overwhelmed. In the same way, a missing southeast corner might lead to digestive issues, relationship tension, or lack of motivation.

How to Fix That Missing Corner (Without Drills and Hammers)

You don’t need to physically extend the house to “fill in” the corner. There are different easy fixes for missing corners. For starters, you can place a mirror on the inner wall where the corner is missing, facing outward, as if to symbolically extend the space. It tricks the energy into flowing as though the missing part still exists.

Vastu experts suggest putting a copper or brass pyramid in place where the corner ought to have been. It is similar to putting an energetic marker there. In other instances, metal strips can be installed in the floor or embedded along the lost edge in order to restore the grid.

Sacred symbols like Sri Yantra, Swastik, or Om can also be placed at the location of the missing corner. You can also energize the space using plants, salt bowls, or even small water features, depending on the direction and element.

Look, no house is perfect. But what you can do is create harmony with what you’ve got. A missing corner doesn’t mean doom and gloom—it just means your space needs a little nudge to get its energy back in flow.

Dampness, Seepage & Cracks in the Wall—How Bad Is It, Really?

By Maadhur 0 Comments

Let’s be honest—most of us have, at some point, walked into a room, spotted a little damp patch or a crack in the wall, and thought, “We’ll fix it later.” It’s common, especially in older buildings or during the rainy season. But from a Vastu point of view—and even just from an energy and well-being perspective—it’s not something you want to ignore for too long.

What Dampness and Seepage Do to the Energy of Your Home

In Vastu, your walls are like the protective skin of your house. They hold in the energy, keep it steady, and maintain balance between all the directions. When dampness creeps in or water starts seeping through, it’s almost like the energy starts to weaken or “leak out.” That moist, heavy feeling that comes with damp walls? It actually creates a sluggish, stuck kind of vibe in the room.

Cracks in the Wall Aren’t Just Physical

A crack in the wall might seem small, but in Vastu, it often represents some kind of strain—like a pressure point in the house. Just like how a small crack in a glass eventually spreads if left unchecked, the same can happen with cracks in your space—they can signal emotional stress, financial trouble, or health issues in the background.

What You Can Do About It

If you’ve got dampness or cracks already, don’t stress. Just start with what’s possible:

Get the root cause checked—leaks, plumbing, poor ventilation, or external walls absorbing moisture.
Use waterproofing where needed—it may be a one-time fix that saves a lot later.
For wall cracks, especially deep or diagonal ones, get them sealed properly. Don’t just patch with putty and ignore.

From a Vastu angle, once repairs are done, you can energize the space again—maybe with light, colors, or even something as simple as keeping that zone clean and well-lit. At the end of the day, your home is like a mirror. Fixing it with love and attention isn’t just good maintenance—it’s a way of caring for your own well-being too.

Can Extension of Corners Lead to Vastu Defects?

By Maadhur 0 Comments

In Vastu Shastra, corners are more important than we generally know. They’re not just edges or the end points of your walls—they hold energy, they affect flow, and yes, if not aligned properly, they can lead to defects. So, what happens when corners are extended, then? Let’s delve into it and learn about how such corner extensions disrupt the Vastu of your residential space.

Why Corners Are So Crucial in Vastu

In Vastu, your home is divided into zones based on directions—north, south, east, west and their combinations like northeast or southwest. Corners are where two directions meet, so they naturally carry mixed energy. That’s why they’re sensitive zones. When you alter them—by extending them, say—you’re basically shifting that energy. And not always in a good way.

Okay, So What Happens If You Extend a Corner?

Let’s say you’ve extended the northeast corner. That might seem harmless or even like a cool design idea. But from a Vastu point of view, this is actually one of the more sensitive areas. It’s linked to clarity, mental peace, and even spiritual growth. Extending this corner too much can lead to confusion, indecisiveness, or even health issues for the people living there.

On the flip side, if you’ve got a southwest corner that’s extended, things get heavier. That direction is connected to stability and grounding. Stretching it out could disturb the balance in relationships or make it harder for the people in the home to feel secure or settled.

Is There a Way to Fix It Without Breaking the Walls?

Fortunately, yes. Vastu is not strict—it is full of remedies that don’t necessarily mean tearing your home down. Even something as simple as mirrors, colors, certain metals, or Vastu pyramids can balance out imbalances created by long corners. A good Vastu consultant will never request that you tear down everything. The idea is to work with what you have and restore it to energetic balance. It’s tuning the space like an instrument, not constructing it from scratch.
