Your home is where your heart is… it is a place where you not only live but it is your safe haven, a place where you laugh, cry, play, relax, and create so many memories, happy and sad. It is a place which requires a lot of love and care and a good, healthy dose of positive energy for it to flourish and transform into a happier place. Incorporating elements like plants, personal artifacts, and essential oil diffusers can bring positivity and enhance the energy within your home.
According to Vastu Shastra, the main entrance should ideally face the north-east direction to ensure a harmonious flow of energy.
Here are several ways in which you can make your home filled with positive energy:
De-clutter your living space
Clutter causes confusion and increases stress in people and stress is known to quell positive energy. Get rid of things you no longer need or require and make space for positive energies to flow in and through your living spaces. When a small space is de-cluttered, even if it is just a drawer, you will feel renewed positive energy in that space. Place a vase of fresh flowers or decorative items where you have cleaned out the unwanted stuff. Avoid placing a few things like decorative water elements outside the main entrance to prevent disrupting the positive flow of energy. Keeping the house clean is essential for maintaining a positive environment and avoiding vastu dosh.
Let in the fresh air
A place that is always closed not only feels suffocated due to the lack of fresh air moving in and out, it also blocks the positive energies from flowing within the house. Simply keeping the windows of your homes open and letting clean, fresh air inside helps push out negative energy and brings positive energy into your living space. Keeping the house open promotes cross ventilation, which is beneficial for good health and acts as a big stress buster.
Add color to your walls
Choosing the right colors scheme for the house is also a deciding factor that will affect the energies within the house. Having dark and morbid colors impact the state of mind of people residing in and opting for lighter, brighter, and calmer colors is bound to make your house feel happy, cheerful, and positive. Avoid painting the main door black as it can negatively affect the energy flow. Adding a new coat of paint will provide your walls with a fresh and new look and a burst of energy that is bound to bring in positivity to your home. Best tips for choosing light colors include those that promote balance and improve mood. Bright colors can uplift energy levels and create a positive atmosphere.
Let in the sunlight
Closed rooms and living spaces feel musty and devoid of happiness and opening the windows to air and sunlight can instantly turn it into a brighter and lively space. Natural sunlight not only destroys germs and bacteria, helping you keep your family healthy, it also helps one feel positive and happy. Focus on maximizing natural light to enhance the energy and mood within your home. Good lighting is essential for creating a positive atmosphere.
Add personal touches
Apart from letting the sunlight and fresh air moving in the living spaces, sprucing up your home with a little knicks and knacks that make the house your home will help in adding more positive energy to it. Place plants in the house to add more life to it and create positive energy. Plants also positively influence emotions and improve air quality. Place picture frames, personal artefacts, artwork done by children or family members, and such pictures to make the space more personal. Adding your personal touch will make the space more ‘your’ space and radiate positive energy. Wind chimes with hollow rods can enhance the positive ambiance. Placing flower petals in a pot of water near the main door can also attract positive vibes.
All these small changes are sufficient to help convert your home into a happy, lively, and filled with positive energy space which is vital for the well-being of everyone residing in it. It is important that your house feels happy, calm, and peaceful for your overall wellbeing and mental peace. Facing east while meditating can increase positivity and harness earth energy for a harmonious living space.
