Reflections of Energy: Placing Mirrors the Vastu Way

By Maadhur 0 Comments

Mirrors do a lot more than help us check our hair or outfit. In Vastu, they’re considered powerful tools — because they don’t just reflect light, they reflect energy. And depending on where they’re placed, they can either support the energy in your home or throw it completely off balance.

If you’re thinking about hanging a mirror, start by asking: What is this mirror going to reflect back into my space?

The North and East walls are usually the best zones. North is linked with Kuber, the deity of wealth, so placing a mirror here can energetically double prosperity. East is all about the rising sun — clarity, health, and new beginnings. Mirrors in these zones can subtly amplify those positive energies.

But mirrors placed in the South, South-East, or West? That’s where we need to be careful. These zones already carry strong or heavy elemental energies, and mirrors can disrupt them. A mirror in the bedroom facing the bed, for instance, can lead to restless sleep or emotional strain. It sounds small, but I’ve seen people shift their mirrors and feel a huge difference in their peace of mind.

One client had a mirror placed directly opposite the main door — a classic Vastu concern. Positive energy would enter and instantly bounce back out. We simply moved it to the East wall and did a few subtle corrections. Within a few weeks, she told me she felt like life had started flowing again — fewer delays, fewer emotional ups and downs.

So yes, mirrors can be magical — when placed with intention. They’re not just decorative pieces. They’re energetic amplifiers. And if used right, they can reflect back to you the very things you’re trying to invite into your life — clarity, abundance, and light.

When the Heart is Blocked: Navigating a Disturbed Brahmasthan

By Maadhur 0 Comments

Every home has a heart — and in Vastu, we call it the Brahmasthan. It’s not a room or a corner, but the very center of your space. Think of it as the energetic core — the spot where everything converges and finds balance. When that space is open and alive, there’s a certain ease you feel at home. Things move, emotions flow, decisions come with more clarity.

But when the Brahmasthan is blocked — by a staircase, a heavy pillar, or even a big piece of furniture — something feels… off. It might show up as restlessness, health niggles that won’t go away, or just this persistent feeling of being stuck in some area of life.

I remember visiting a lovely apartment where the family was doing everything “right” — spiritually, emotionally, even lifestyle-wise. But there was a heaviness. As soon as I stepped in, I noticed it. Right at the center of their home stood a bulky six-seater dining table with a chandelier and a thick column. The Brahmasthan couldn’t breathe.

We couldn’t remove the structure, but we worked around it — using subtle tools like copper strips, elemental balancing, and shifting energy lines through symbols and mirrors. And in just a few weeks, they reported sleeping better, feeling lighter, and seeing movement in things that had been stuck for months.

You don’t always have to rebuild or break things to fix your space. That’s a myth. Vastu, when approached with care, is more about listening — to the space, and to your own energy within it.

So if your home feels heavy or sluggish, check the center. Open it up if you can. And if you can’t, don’t worry — there are still gentle, powerful ways to bring that heart space back to life.

Invisible Weight: How Ceiling Beams Affect Mind and Mood

By Maadhur 0 Comments

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.

Colours That Heal, Colours That Hinder: A Vastu Take on Home Palettes

By Maadhur 0 Comments

Colour is one of the most subtle yet powerful aspects of a space. You may not consciously think about it, but your body and mind are always responding to the colours around you. In Vastu, every direction is associated with a specific element, and colours that align with that element support harmony. On the flip side, mismatched colours can stir unrest, confusion, or stagnation—without you even realizing why.

Let’s start with the best colours. The North direction, governed by water, welcomes shades of blue, aqua, or light grey. The East, ruled by the Sun, resonates beautifully with white, soft yellow, or subtle orange. South, connected with fire, supports red and pink tones—but only when used thoughtfully. The West, ruled by air, does well with greys, silvers, and muted whites.

Now, for the trickier part—when colours go “wrong.” A fiery red wall in the North zone can create agitation, restlessness, or financial instability. Dark greys or blacks in the East may dull your thinking and slow progress. I once walked into a home where the South-West master bedroom was painted in a glossy white. The couple living there had been feeling ungrounded and constantly anxious. We changed the palette to earthy tones—muted browns, beiges, terracotta—and within a week, they reported feeling calmer and more in sync.

So often we chase trends—paint shades from catalogues or Pinterest boards—without pausing to ask: How does this colour make me feel? Vastu adds that next layer of intelligence. It helps you choose colours not just for aesthetics, but for emotional and energetic alignment.

Your home doesn’t just house you—it holds you. And the colours on its walls are like the emotions it speaks in. Choose them wisely, and let your space become your silent ally.
