Vastu tips
Practical Vastu Shastra guidance — arranged by room — so you can align your home with the five elements without a single wall coming down.
Vastu Shastra is the Vedic science of architecture — how directional energy and the five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space) interact inside a dwelling. Done well, Vastu improves sleep, focus, relationships and prosperity.
Most homes have Vastu faults, but almost all can be corrected without demolition. Mirrors, colour schemes, plants, salt, yantras and light carefully placed can redirect energy flow. Think of it as acupuncture for your home.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I fix Vastu without demolition?
Almost always yes. Mirrors, crystals, plants, yantras, colour changes and re-arranging furniture address most faults. Structural changes are the last resort.
Does Vastu really affect health and finances?
The principle is that disordered energy flow affects the nervous system and subtle body over years. Many clients report noticeable shifts in sleep, mood, relationships and financial clarity after even modest Vastu corrections.
What if I rent and can't change anything?
A lot can be done with furniture placement, declutter, salt bowls in corners, and colour via textiles. An online Vastu consultation can produce a tenant-friendly correction plan.
Is Vastu different from Feng Shui?
Both are directional energy systems but different traditions. Vastu is Indian/Vedic; Feng Shui is Chinese. Principles overlap but specific placements and remedies differ.
