You know that feeling when something is bothering you but you can’t quite put your finger on it? Sometimes, that “something” is above you — literally.
Beams across the ceiling may seem like no big deal. Most people don’t even notice them. But in Vastu, we look at beams differently. They create a downward force — a kind of subtle pressure that can impact your energy, especially when they’re right above where you sleep, work, or eat.
I’ve seen this more times than I can count. Someone tells me they’ve been waking up tired, struggling with migraines, or feeling mentally blocked. And when I visit their space, I find a heavy beam hanging over their bed or their work desk. Coincidence? Not quite.
I had a client — a sharp, high-performing woman who ran her own company — but lately, she’d been feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. Her home office looked stunning, but her desk sat right under a beam in the South-West zone, which governs stability. That beam was cutting into her focus and grounding. We repositioned her desk, balanced the space with a few simple Vastu remedies, and within days, she said her mind felt clearer and lighter.
If your beam can’t be moved, don’t stress. We have ways to soften the energetic load — using wooden planks, symbolic ceiling covers, copper rods, or even mirrors when appropriate. Sometimes, just changing how you use a space makes all the difference.
You see, the home reflects the mind. When something presses down on us physically, it often echoes in how we think and feel. So, if you’ve been feeling heavy lately — check the ceiling. It might be time to lift the weight, inside and out.
