Remove Clutter, Balance positive and negative energy
says Dr. Amaresh Mehta during seminar on Vastu at Timbor Skillvarsity
TimborSkillvarsity organised a seminar, ‘Bring Home Good Vastu’ on the 8th of July, 2012.
The seminar was held at the Timbor Home showroom with almost 100 attendees. Dr.
Amaresh Mehta, the speaker, started off with an interesting thought. There are
many individuals that change their doors, add walls, remove rooms, etc.
according to vastu principles. But, explained Dr. Mehta, changing or moving
things around cannot change what is meant to be. A person with a bathroom in
the North East direction (not supposed to be good) will die one day, as will a
person with a bathroom in another direction. The most important thing is
balance. One does not need to renovate or refurbish an entire home – just use
certain measures to balance out the positive and the negative energies.
Dr. Mehta spoke
at length upon energy dynamics and the importance of de-cluttering. De-clutter
your home and your mind! Many of us clean our entire house during Diwali or
such festive occasions, but the waste is usually just hidden away in the attic.
We should try and get rid of such clutter. While doing so, if one has elderly
people or infants in the house; the clutter should be removed gradually as
opposed to in one go since they are more in tune with energy and thus a sudden
removal of clutter bringing in good energy could cause them disturbance. Case
in point being be people that are used to drinking normal water, when exposed
to purified water could get diarrhoea.
A small
demonstration wherein a participants Chakras were checked with a machine had
the audience entranced. Dr. Mehta even showed how, with chanting specific words,
one could change the colour of that respective Chakra, albeit for a temporary
period.
Many of the
participants felt the seminar ended too soon and had innumerable questions. The
discussion session was enlightening with some interesting points highlighted:
- It is advised not to sleep with
one’s head in the North. One would tend to sleep uneasily or wake up tired. The
reason behind this can be related to magnets. A north and a north do not
attract. Similarly, our head can be considered the North and when in the direction
of the North, our body tends to work overtime. Instead of using the sleeping
hours to rejuvenate, the body works on harmonizing internals.
- If one enters a house, and the
dining table can be visible from the entrance – that indicates that one shall
always have too many mouths to feed.
- A staircase right at the
entrance of a home or office is not advisable as it takes all the energy out of
the area. One can try and put two vases at the foot of the staircase or place
wind-chimes above so as to stop the energy from going out of the space.
- It is not suggested to keep
clocks/watches that do not work. This indicates stagnation in one’s life. Even
if unused, watches need to have their batteries checked and should be working.
- An ideal wall clock would be
one with a pendulum since the constant movement of the pendulum circulates
energy in the house/office.
- Newly married couples should
not have a bedroom above the kitchen. Neither should young adults – this can
cause aggression.
- For those with Asthma, Plaster of
Paris (POP) ceilings should be avoided – wood is one of the best options.
- The kitchen the most important
part of the house and if one feels that there is strife or difficulty – keeping
the kitchen clean and without clutter will improve things.
- While sleeping, laptops and
mobile phones should not be near the bed. Avoid using the mobile as an alarm.
If the phone/electronic needs to be charged, it should be done on a table that
is not touching the bed.
