If your bed room creates good energy you can sleep well, get up early and work actively the whole day. And to say least if you don't sleep well, have lot of dreams, wake up with confusion regularly then the main cause could be the bad arrangements in your bed room. Check these points and confirm you are right with Vastu and correct what are all possible. Master Bedroom As per Vastu Shastra the master bedroom should be in the south-west corner of the building, in every floor. The main earning member or the Eldest of all should stay in the master bedroom of highest floor. This room can be used by father or the eldest son, or who controls the family expenses. Normally people use the Master bedroom for safe keeping the valuable and important things they own. That is why Vastu prescribes strict instructions for the position of master bedroom. The south west corner of the house is called “Kuber Moolai” in Vastu Shastra and its good Vastu vibrations are very important for financial steadiness of the owner. For getting good financial wealth by Vastu principles a good heavy locker has to be positioned and kept in the south-west corner of this bed room. All important documents of properties, bank pass books, cheque books, account books, cash, jewellary, silver vessels and ornaments have to be safely kept in this safety locker. Whatever things are stored in this place will grow and prosper the owner of the house. The person staying in this room will lead others in the family and control them in all aspects. Vastu suggests that this portion should never be rented out or provided for guests or children. If children stay in this room, their studies will be spoiled and character might become worsen. Southwest corner of the bedroom should never be left empty. The other bedrooms as per Vastu Shastra can be provided at the south (positive) and west (positive) direction of the house. It is also recommended for the eldest son, provided the parents stay in the master bed room. The second son or next earning member of the family can stay in this room. If the master bedroom or bedroom of a married couple is in the south-east direction of the main building, it results in unnecessary quarrels between them and some of them get divorced also. Vastu Tips Beds should be placed so as the head of the person should be in south or west direction. The bedroom should not be constructed above porch, car parks and kitchen. The bed rooms should not be in the central portion of the building or in the basement, as it may lead to mental instability in person using such bedrooms. If any cabinets of almirahs are constructed or placed in the bedroom, which contain valuable documents, cash, jewelry etc., they should be positioned in the south-west corner of the room and as such the doors are opening towards north or east. An attached bathroom to the bed room can be planned in the north-west or south-east of the room, but never on south-west or north-east direction. Entrance door to the bedroom may have a window opposite to it. If there is more than one floor, the head of the family (elder person) should have a bedroom on the upper floor and in the south-west corner. This room should never be used as a bedroom of young children, or unnecessary quarrels are likely to occur in the house. The southwest side of the house and all the rooms inside the house should always be heavier than the east and northeast side. Maximum open space should be left in the northeast side of the bed rooms and toilets or bath rooms should not be provided at this corner. Avoid keeping a TV in the bedroom. If a TV is kept, it should never be in front of bed, as it works as a mirror and keeping a mirror in front of bed generates negative energy. The dressing-table in the bedroom should be kept west or south direction, so as these mirrors always face the east or north direction. The mirrors kept in the bed room in the dressing table, cupboards, shelves etc., should be positioned so that they don’t reflect the bed. If they reflect any person while sleeping they will suffer from any disease which can’t be cured fully. Reading and writing activities can be carried out in the north or east side of the bedroom. The door of the bedroom should be in the east, the west or the north but never on the south-west corner of the bed room. Having windows in the east and north and smaller windows in west is beneficial. ________________________________________ Study room As per Vastu Shastra Study room can be located in the north-east, east, north-west and portion of the house, but never be in the south-west and south-east corners. Hindu Gods Lord Budha (Mercury), Lord Guru (Jupiter), Lord Chandra (Moon) and Lord Shukra (Venus) are the Gods that give intelligence and education to Children. Vastu directions for study room are based on their effects and positions in Jyotish Shastra. It is better having a study room in the west direction, as mercury increases brain power, Jupiter increases ambition and curiosity and Moon helps in the generation of new thoughts and ideas. Venus helps in the growth of talent. The doors and windows shall be positioned so as the sun light is not obstructed to flow inside the study room. Windows should be larger on the eastern side and smaller on the western side of the room. Study table should be placed in such a direction that the face of the student while studying is towards the north-east, east or north. Book rack and cabinets should be placed in the south-west and northwest of the room and never in the east, north, south-east and north-east directions. No cabinets or tables should be placed in the center of the room. It is best to leave the center portion of the study room empty. ________________________________________ Guest Room The north-west corner is ideal as a guest room as per Vastu Shastra. This is the corner denoted for the Lord Vaayu and denotes movement. Guests so placed in this bed room mean that they will not stay unduly long. The south east corner is also a better option for a guest bed room. The north, east and west parts of the house also can be considered as guest room. But the south-west corner of the house should never be allotted for the guest room. ________________________________________ Kid’s Bedroom For getting good sleep in the night and freshness when waking up, the children's bedroom must be fully Vastu compatible. Getting high marks and ranks are directly depending in the position of bedroom and study room of the children. Often even intelligent and bright students fail to achieve their goals just because of the bad Vastu vibrations in their bed rooms. If their rooms are not as per Vastu the memory power and confidence levels are badly affected due to the negative energies of Vastu. If any children seem to be excellent in intelligence and activities but poor in performance in the exams parents must take steps to check their bed position, study table position and the place where the books are kept. If these Vastu factors are not corrected, their hard work is wasted and prosperous future is lost. Vastu Shastra must be followed to get the complete good vibrations to make them healthy and mentally sharp. As per Vastu Shastra Children's rooms can be in the west, north or east of the building. A north-west corner and west side bedroom is best for children. A north- east corner bedroom can also be used for unmarried children or guests. Vastu Tips As a general rule of Vastu, there must not be any mirror opposite to the bed in a bedroom. A television screen is also considered as mirror, when turned off, and so even a TV is not allowed to be kept exactly opposite to the bed. But as people generally insist on keeping a TV in bedroom, it can be kept to the right or left of the bed at angle for a comfortable view from bed. The children study table can be fixed in the north-east corner of the room. The bookshelf should not be fixed near the north-eastern corner, but preferably on south and west walls of the children’s room. The bed or cot in the children's room can be in the southwest portion of the bed room with head position in the east or south direction. The door of the bathroom should not be exactly opposite to the bed. The furniture in the room should be placed a few inches away from the walls, as it saves the positive energies of body and mind. The study table, if placed in the bedroom, should be placed so as to ensure that the child should face east, north or north-east while studying. Facing east ensures better concentration while studying. A television should never be placed in the bedroom, but if it is necessary it can be placed in north-west of the room. And a computer can be placed in south-east corner of the room. Vastu is one of the popular sciences today. Promising to make life better in homes, offices and even plots, Vastu plays an important role in shaping our world. Vastu works on bringing positive energy in each and every room of your house. Right from the living room to the bedroom, each room is decorated differently and having a different purpose. Therefore the Vastu of every room is different. In this section we talk about Vastu for bedroom and through some simple changes how we can improve our home world and life as well. Read through these simple but very useful bedroom tips and see positive energy flowing in your world. Bedroom Door Believe it or not, even the bedroom door is very important according to Vastu. The door acts like a symbol of all the opportunities and possibilities that the life has to offer you. Therefore it is very important that the door opens completely and doesn’t get restricted half way. A bedroom door that cannot open completely will limit your possibilities and you will only be getting half of what you truly deserve. Bedroom Furnishings And Decorations Since the bedroom is one of the most private places of the house, furnishings and decorations are very important as per the Vastu. As you enter the bedroom, have something positive like a painting, your favorite photograph or any piece of wall hanging to give a positive and welcoming feeling. Also the furniture of the bedroom should be in the same style and pattern. If that is not completely possible then at least maintain a uniformity of color. Placement of the Bed Bed is the most important thing in the bedroom. Even your wall colors should complement your bed and not make it look out of place. Selecting the right mattress is as important as the bed, so that you can sleep comfortably and not feel completely rotten when you get up. While placing a bed never have a mirror on the opposite wall, especially at the foot of your bed. This is sure to disturb your sleep giving you all types of stress. If there is a problem of space then cover the mirror with a cloth at night. Also if you have a slanting ceiling then don’t sleep directly under it. Put some wind chimes or bells to change this negative energy into positive one. Bedroom Lighting When it comes to lighting, we generally tend to ignore it completely. Most of the times, we go with the same bright lights that we use for the drawing room and dining room. But we forget, that we don’t really require such glaring lights in the bedroom. Have soft and dim lighting in the bedroom. This helps in maintaining a soothing feeling in the room, according to the Vastu. Have adjustable lights to give levels of comfort according to your choice. Sleeping In The Right Direction Sleeping in the right direction is very much important for your health and prosperity according to Vaastu shastra. It is always advised to sleep with your head to the south. This will welcome positive energy that comes from the north. Also avoid sleeping in direct alignment with any sharp corners in your room. The sharp corners in a bedroom act like a type of energy spears and add to the stress levels of the individuals. The best way to blend these sharp corners is by adding some plants in front of them. If possible, try to remove the alignment of the bed from that direction. So as you go about decorating your bedroom, keep these simple Vastu tips for the bedroom in mind and welcome positive energy all around you. Bed Room Vastu According to ancient science of directions, Vastu Shastra peace and harmony reign through bedroom if the room is located in right direction. A properly located bedroom provides complete relaxation after a weary day and also brings good things into life. Here are given the facts which explain complete vastu for bedroom. Location for Bedroom Ideally master bedroom should be located in southern part of the house and all other bedrooms should be located either towards the East or North of master bedroom. Master bedroom may be located in south-west of the house. This room should be used by the head of the family and eldest son of the family. South portion is also recommended for eldest son bedroom. If there is more than one floor, the head of the family should have his bed room in south-west direction on first floor. This bedroom should not be used by young children otherwise unnecessary quarrels can take place in the house. A west sided bedroom is good for children. An eastern bedroom can be used for children. But this room should not be used by newly wed couples because it can cause unnecessary quarrel between the couple. Teenager girls should have their bedrooms in north-west direction. The bedroom should not be constructed in central portion of the house or in basement as it may lead to mental tension. Also bed room should not be constructed above porch and kitchen. An attached bathroom can be in north-west or south-east of bedroom. Bed Location The beds should be of good quality wood and metal bed should be avoided. The bed should be placed in such a way as the foot of the bed should be in North and does not face the door. It should not touch walls keeping 2 or 3 inches distance. Avoid placing bed in corners or under the beam. The space under the bed should be clean and clutter free. Due to paucity of space modern vastu says to use box bed. Keep storage space clean and clutter free. Do not keep utensils and metal in storage space. This may cause mental stress and diseases. Cabinet Location Cabinet/ALMIRAH should be placed in south-west of the room opening towards North. It should be placed leaving south-east, north-east, south-west, north-west corners and east and north directions of the room. Television and Electrical Appliances Location Avoid television in bedroom. If you place T.V. in bedroom, it should be kept in south-east of bedroom. It should never be placed in front of bed as it works like a mirror. Thus placed mirror is not good for health. Electrical appliances should be kept in south-east of the room. Doors and Windows Location The door of bedroom should be in the East or the North. Windows in the East and North of the room are beneficial. Color Scheme Color affects our mind and changes the mood. Vastu recommends light colors. Light colors are better than dark colors. The color of bedroom should be light rose, pink, blue, yellow and green. Avoid black and red color in bedroom. Yellow and white marble should not be used in bedroom. Lighting As per vastu lighting is an essential part of bedroom. Comfortable lighting is the key to excellent bedroom. The bedroom should not have too bright or too dim lighting. Keeping an up-lighter in south-east is good. Pictures Do not display pictures of war, cruelty, sadness, single bird, any animal and wild animals in bedroom. Generally people having religious nature display idols of God in bedroom. They should place these idols in pooja Room. Mirrors Do not use mirror in bedrooms. If it can not be avoided, keep it in such a position that should not reflect your shadow while sleeping. Keep a curtain on mirror to avoid reflection. To avoid mirrors in bedroom means to avoid unnecessary quarrels between the couple. Tips for Vastu Bedroom As a general rule of vastu, south-west corner of bedroom should not be left empty. Always keep heavy things, furniture etc. in this portion in every room. South-west side of the house and of all rooms inside the house should always be heavier than the East and north-east side. Maximum open space should be left in north-east side of the room and house. Nobodys bedroom should be exactly in the middle of the building. Some buildings do not get proper east-west and north-south directions. They have corners only. In bed rooms of such buildings, for getting the proper direction, one should not put his bed in an oblique position. As far as possible, the almirah should not be in the bedroom. If it is necessary, it should be placed in a way leaving the south-east, the north-east, the south-west and the northwest corners as well as the east and the north directions. Vastu for Children Room Vastu is an ancient architectural science of India. It is based on the five elements and the appropriate direction for its usage. In this section we will look closely for the correct Vastu for the children room. Children act as the future of the household and hence the children’s room should be in a place that strengthen them and gives them a mental stability that is required. According to Vastu, the kid bedroom should be in the northwest and southeast corners of the house. Avoid the southwest direction at all cost. Although one can also go for northeast direction of the house. These two directions of the house will give stability of the mind to the children. Other than these corners, in general the west, north and east sides of the house are good for bedrooms. The west side of the house is best for kids, keeping in mind that children grow quite fast. An east-facing bedroom is best for a newly married couple. The beds in the children’s room can be in the southwest portion of the room and the heads should face in the east or south direction. As the children tend to spend a lot of time in their rooms try to keep the room free from sharp edges and pointed nooks. According to Vastu shastra any type of pointed thing is going to bring negative energy in the household. Now let’s take a quick look on how to place the different furnishings according to Vaastu in the children room. • Avoid placing a mirror or television directly opposite to the bed. The mirror and the television set when switched off reflects the bed and is a bad omen. If you must have a mirror and a television in the bedroom then have them on either the left or right side of the bed. • The door to the children’s bedroom should not be exactly opposite to the bed. Try having them at a separate angel. This aspect should especially be kept in mind when going for the architecture of one place. • In the southeast corner of the children room have an uplighter. This brings in positive energy and good health to the household. Also make sure that the center of the room is empty. Don’t ever put furniture in the center of the room. • If there has to be small furniture in the children’s room then it should be kept a few inches away from the wall. This will help in saving the positive energies of the body and the mind. • The children’s room generally contains a study table. If there’s one in your child’s room then ensure that the child faces the east or the northeast while studying. By facing east the child will have better concentration when studying. • If there is a television in the room then keep it in the northwest side of the room. Also if there is a computer, which is quite common, nowadays then have it in the south east corner of the children’s room. Vastu is not about limitations but making the best use of the space available. Let your children grow in a congenial and comfortable atmosphere. Let your home be the abode to prosperity so that it strengthens the future of your kids. Vastu Tips for Children Room • The west is best direction for kids' room. Girl's room can be in northwest direction whereas boy’s room can be in northern or eastern part of the house. • The door of children’s bedroom should in the North or East. It should have one shutter only. • There is no harm in having small window in west as compared to the one in east or north direction. The window should be opposite to the door. • Avoid study table, T.V, computer and mirror in children's bedroom. Vastu Tips for Happy Married Life Vastu leads to a happy married life which every couple dream of. Life becomes joyful and peaceful if your life partner is compatible with you. Vastu defects may cause non compatibility with life partner. Everybody wants to live a successful and peaceful life. You also want to live a life which is enjoyable and happy, but you do not know why you become sad when you come to your house. You may feel that you are quite happy when you are far away from your house, you can feel some mood swings when you enter in your house. From a vastu perspective, if your home is not in proper balance, it may cause sadness, problem in relationships etc. Like nature all five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) are in balance. Your home can also be balanced there is a need to know the importance of structure that can benefit you. Balance the five elements in your home because each of the five elements is associated with each direction. Northeast of your house is associated with water element. Open space in northeast of house is good for relationship and finances. Having water element in this direction without touching the diagonal axis is good for finances. If your financial condition is good, it has a positive effect on your relationship. An under ground water tank is good in this direction even though over head water tank is also water element, but if it is in northeast direction that can be stressful for you. Pooja room in northeast quadrant is also good. Bedroom in northeast may be the reason of lot of tension. Toilet, kitchen, store room and a missing northeast corner can cause stagnation in relationship. The southeast of your house is associated with fire element. Kitchen, electrical equipments are placed in southeast of house are good for lively relationship. Avoid water elements in southeast as fire and water cannot live with each other. If there is cut southeast corner, your relationship can also be suffered. Master bedroom in southeast can cause quarrel in family. The northwest of your house is associated with air element. If there is a cut corner in northwest or less open space in northwest, it may cause lack of communication between family members. Communication is the base of any relationship so it can affect your relationship with spouse. There can be mental instability due to blocked northwest. Toilet and guest room are recommended in this direction this may lead to proper communication which helps in stability of relationship. The southwest area of your house is associated with earth element. Southwest master bedroom is helpful in stability of relationship. An extended southwest or cut corner in southwest can cause conflicts in relationship. A store room in southwest is a good option. Toilet, kitchen and under ground water tank are not recommended in southwest, it may affect a relationship. Center of House (Brahmasthan) is associated with space element. A cluttered center of house or no open space in that part of house can cause poor communication in relationship. Toilet, kitchen and under ground water tank in the center of house may cause disagreement.

Openly placed knife and scissors creates sourness in relations. •Newly married and the couples aspiring for children should never sleep in a North-East room.

How To Activate Your Love Corner: Once you know where your nine yen or love corner is, try not to have a toilet, kitchen, or storeroom there to press down on the luck. Remove all brooms, mops, etc. in this corner if they are there. The general love corner for all women is the Southwest corner. Activate the SW of both your home and your bedroom with a pair of love birds, love ducks and a picture of lovers. Place the double happiness symbol in the Southwest as well (either in envelopes hanging art etc). Be sure you place crystals, smooth balls and crystal lotus flowers in this magical corner. Red lava lamps are great to light up your symbols. Fire activates earth. Lights are important. Hang lanterns, light up the section, stay in this part of your home/bedroom to activate. Banish bedroom taboos like improper bed placement. Remove mirrors in the bedroom that reflect your bed. Never sleep under beams which press down on your good luck. Remove any water in the bedroom and get rid of TV’s pointing at the bed. Keep computers out of your bedroom (keep work out of the bedroom) and eliminate poison arrows like shelves pointing at you when you sleep. Make sure the toilet is not flushing away your love luck. The bed should never share a wall with the toilet. Be sure toilet sha is not coming into the bedroom...block off the toilet with hanging fabric placed on an extension rod that blocks out the toilet which is considered a place of waste. Hang pictures of men in your home, room bedroom to attract male chi. Be sure to purchase a big dragon (frontal sitting metal or wood is even better and place it in the NE or the north of your home. This is too powerful for the bedroom, but it is perfect for bringing yang energy into your life. Build up the universal place for love, the SOUTHWEST. Its element is earth and the colors are yellow, oranges, and earthy tones. Minimize greens and browns in this SW corner as wood colors cut earth energy. No metal in the SW. Limit plants s well. No wood or metal, just earth ceramic, crystals, rocks etc. The scholar stone is perfect here. Hang red lanterns with double happiness on them. Feng Shui can help to create the chi energy that brings you a mate but it cannot bring you the perfect mate. This depends on your own heaven luck, your intelligence and wise intuition. Bring in the phoenix and the dragon images into the home on plates, fabric, jewelry, statues, etc. Bring in the double happiness symbol as well. Include the mystic knot in the bedroom to promote a long, loving relationship with your partner. Hang mountain pictures in the SW for support, use the lover’s mystic knot, display narcissus, peonies, and chrysanthemums. The bed should be big enough for two people. Try not to sleep on a divided mattress. Both sides of the bed should have equal space. Thus, you should not have one side of the bed jammed against the wall. Remember to have your head pointing towards your good direction (longevity or love, health etc). Be sure to decorate with mandarin ducks or phoenix and dragons. Avoid homes with bathrooms and kitchens in the southwest as this would press down on your love luck. Homes with the toilet or kitchen in the northwest (the patriarch section) weakens the power of the man.
