Vastu Shastra tips for the prayer room
The meditation or prayer room holds a special position in every Hindu home. It is a place of devotion, hope, trust and even refuge. Keeping in mind its immense significance, it is necessary to create a space that embodies the best possible principles of Vastu Shastra. Vastu expert Ashna Ddhannak, holistic life coach at Enlightening Lifestyle, believes designing a sacred space always benefits spiritual growth.
Here are some of the best Vastu tips for the meditation room or prayer room.
*The best direction to worship is the east or northeast. According to Vastu Shastra, the northeast corner is known as Ishan (the corner for Ishwar or God). This direction is where Earth's powerful magnetic energy is generated. Therefore, this is an ideal location for a meditation or prayer room. However, if the prayer room in your house is not located in the northeast, ensure you face this direction while praying.
*According to Vastu, the idea of a subtle universal life force is important. Therefore, the east and northeast directions attract subtle universal life force energy essential for good health. It helps create peace and stability.
*Decorating the meditation or prayer room according to Vastu will improve your holistic well-being by attracting Qosmic energies that nurture you from within. Create a sacred altar and decorate it with your favourite elements like statues or photos of mentors, gurus or spiritual masters, among other. You can add fresh flowers or burn candles and incense sticks.
*Placing a white cloth as an Asana Mat before meditating will help you attain peace.
*Burning palo santo wood, white sage herbs and agarwood attracts positive energy. They will also help you overcome illnesses, allergies, headaches, rheumatic pain and skin infections, among others. They are also an effective treatment for anxiety stress and depression.
*Jasmine essential oil attracts good fortune and keeps the mind sharp.
*Ddhannak recommends the following colours for the meditation room:
Light yellow: Promotes communication and boosts confidence Green: Helps improve concentration White: Ensures purity Beige: Symbolizes new ideas
