Vastu Tips That Anyone Can Use
Increasing Abundance
Add a fountain in the Northeast area of your home or office to enhance success. Circulating water stimulates the flow of money in your life.
Reducing Clutter
Reduce clutter to decrease stress in your life. In Vastu, it is very important to be clutter-free. Clutter acts like stagnating pools that collect and store negative energy, preventing you from moving forward in your life. Clutter makes you feel tired and clouds your thinking; it prevents the joy of free and easy movement. Clutter has the effect of stopping success in your life, as the mind responds to a cluttered environment with disorganized thinking and poor decisions.
Directions for Working, Studying, and Creating
Studies have shown if you face magnetic north while sitting at your desk, you will improve your finances. Facing east will increase your creativity. Facing south or west will hinder financial endeavors, obscure your concentration and make you tired.
Vastu reduces stress in an environment, increases productivity, promotes better health, harmonious relationships, improves finances and creativity by applying ancient principles of positive energy flow.
When you honor the spirit of a building with the principles of Vastu, the result is greater health, prosperity, and happiness for all who enter.

Vastu recognizes that our dwellings should reflect the rhythm of the universe and our connection to all of nature.


The beauty of nature in the home creates a peaceful and nurturing environment, calming to the senses and the spirit. A deep reverence and respect for nature is fundamental to Vastu, the first green science.


Ancient Vedic scholars realized that living, breathing plants are very beneficial and improve the air quality inside the home, promoting clear thinking. Healthy green plants have the power to improve concentration, increase productivity, reduce blood pressure, and lower stress.


A Vastu environment includes many natural materials for the interior décor, including wood, stone, glass (made from sand), and natural fibers. In this way, we are honoring our connection to nature, making it an integral part of our environment.


Vastu’s ancient scholars believed that external peace impacts internal peace. Thousands of years ago, the ancient Vedic scholars understood that the surrounding environment influences health. Through the principles of Vastu, these sages created a design science to help restore balance and well-being by creating a healthy and soothing home environment, allowing an unobstructed flow of invigorating energy.

Lord Ganesha and Vastu

Lord Ganesha and Vastu:

Ganesha, the elephant headed deity, is worshipped first in any Hindu ritual and before the start of any new undertakings. His name is invoked at the beginning of each event, in worship, when the foundation stone is laid for a building, and when the first step is taken on a journey, He is known as the remover of obstacles and the god of auspicious beginnings. He is one of the most popular and beloved of the gods, benevolent and kind.

In my Vastu practice, I place small, nearly invisible symbols of Ganesha (murtis) in the form of an ancient design to correct imbalances, energetically reshape rooms and buildings, and remove inharmonious extensions and cuts. This creates the correct shape for the rooms, allowing beneficial energy to flow unimpeded, with the elements and directions in balance. These symbols are also used to seal positive energy in an environment. I feel the energy shift significantly after the placement of these small symbols throughout a home or workspace.

Ganesha is also placed on altars, representing the earth element and auspicious beginnings. A Ganesha statute or image placed on the desk attracts and maintains positive energy and success in your work.

Ganesha’s appearance is symbolically profound. It is said he represents the centrifugal force of the ever- expanding universe. His huge ears and head make him a perceptive listener who absorbs and retains the wisdom of the ancient Indian scripture known as the Vedas.

Ganesha’s trunk can curl into the shape of OM, the primordial sound of creation. The trunk of the elephant can rip out a tree in the forest, yet is sensitive and gentle enough to pick up a needle. Ganesha’s trunk can sweep obstacles out of the way that may hinder one who is seeking knowledge that leads to enlightenment. His huge stomach symbolizes his ability to digest all of life’s experiences and is said to retain all the wisdom in the universe.

One of his four hands holds a rope, which he uses to draw us nearer to truth. Another hand holds an axe that severs attachments that bind us to the material world. In another hand he holds a sweet, representing the joy that comes as one moves along the path toward enlightenment. A fourth hand is held in a mudra or pose that blesses us and protects us from obstacles that can that block our progress.

There are many stories told about Ganesha, including one is which he gifted India and the world with the Mahabarata and the Bhagavad Gita, written with his broken tusk.

It is good to see Ganesha coming and going from your house, one Ganesha image to welcome you home, and another that graces and blesses you as you leave for the new day.

When people speak about “the elephant in the room” Ganesha is the only elephant to have in your room!

Thank you for your many blessings, Beloved Ganesha.

White Orbs and Divine Protection

White Orbs and Divine Protection

This photo was taken many months after a Vastu Consultation. You can see the large orb floating on the upper left corner and the smaller one on the right side. The large orb is directly underneath the Yantra for the Divine Center, the space element, in this home. Orbs appear when there is a high spiritual vibration. A friend was taking photos and these orbs appeared in the photo. It is a demonstration of the stable and enduring energy of Vastu and the power of the Yantras and Mantras. A white orb is said to symbolize Divine protection. What is most interesting is that this orb is not in a random location, but a specific location, directly beneath the Divine Center Yantra.

Ancient Wisdom for a Modern Wired World

Vastu has many practical benefits when its principles are applied in our everyday life.

Recently, a young mother with twins had her babies sleeping during the daytime in their rocking sleepers with the top of their heads in the north. The babies fussed and woke up often during their frequent naptimes and needed to be rocked and comforted back to sleep and did not sleep without interruption.

In Vastu, your head is considered the north pole of your body and when you sleep with your head in the same direction as the earth’s magnetic north pole, the two poles behave like magnets, they repel each other and interfere with your sleep.

When the babies were moved to another room for their daytime naps, their heads did not face north, and they slept much more soundly thru their naps, often the whole three hours, sleeping like a baby! There is such a sweet energy emanating from sleeping babies, so peaceful and tranquil.

The babies were sleeping southwest in this room, the direction for the earth element. The southwest is a very good direction for sleeping as the energies of the earth element are gained in this direction. It is particularly beneficial for older people who will gain the restorative energies of the earth element as they are sleeping.

If you are sleeping north and cannot change the direction of your bed, you can turn your body around and put your head to the south, a good direction for sleeping. It may sound odd, but it has worked for people and they have much better sleep and improved health with just this simple shift of sleeping direction.

Vastu is a great gift and blessing from the ancient Rishi’s of India. I truly believe that implementing the principles of Vastu in our lives and environments will benefit everyone in living a more peaceful, harmonious and fulfilling way.
