VAASTU AND THE ELEMENTS OF NATURE

Vaastu is very closely knit with the five elements of nature, viz earth, air, water, fire and sky, in correspondence with the ten directions present in the cosmos world. (North, south, east, west, north-east, south-east, north-west, south-west, centre and space) Let’s study in detail how they co-relate with each other to create a Vaastu-friendly environment for us which in turn ensures health, happiness, prosperity and well being in life.



Earth element
The Earth Element is directly connected with bringing about stability in our life, both in the house and at the office front. Employment opportunities, ups and downs in business, delay in every venture of life, all these are caused and created by a disturbed Earth element in the house. Increase in tensions and anxieties are all a result of the absence of the positive Earth energy from your home or office surrounding. Presence of a basement, underground water tank or main door in the south west can create unimaginable and never-ending problems for you in every aspect of life. South-west is the direction for the earth element and any hindrance in the positive energies produced herein can cause unnecessary delays for you in every endeavor of life.

Fire Element
Fire element bestows an individual with name, face, social status and a dignified identity, but at the same time it also creates legal problems, animosity with friends and regular quarrels with family members, if not handled with care. The place and direction for fire is the south-east. Fire in our house is not just restricted to the kitchen where food is cooked; in fact it is an element which stays with us in every step of life, bringing about happiness and goodwill if correctly used, or a reason for various social and legal problems if wrongly dealt with. The kitchen should therefore be in the south east. However, there should not be any use of water in this area. Fire and Water elements clash where they meet. Hence, placement of washing machines, water coolers, swimming pools and other water related activities in the south east can disturb the fire element and thereby load you with immense difficulties in life. Remember, fire polishes gold but even burns it, so it is very important to use this extremely sensitive element of nature to the best of your benefit.

Water Element
The nature of water is to Flow. Water element, if not used properly can stagnate growth and welcome endless problems into your life. Water manages the flow of blood in our body, helps in digestion and manages many other activities within it, which in turn gives us a flawless, glowing and healthy body. Similarly, water is used for various purposes within the house viz, cooking, cleaning bathing, for the coolers, in swimming pools etc. The placement of these water bodies in the house should be in accordance with the Vaastu principles and should be restricted to the North-east direction, which is the right direction for it, as per the Vaastu doctrines.

Air Element
The Air Element not only gives us freshness in life but also determines our career and personality. Air element is highly essential for smooth and successful living, or else it would give rise to unending problems like lack of opportunities in life, confusion of mind, anxiety in decision-making, suspicion among couples, permanent occupancy of guests in the house,  lack of concentration in studies among children and so on. The air element occupies the North West portion of the house and if this area is blocked with unnecessary clutter or is dissected or cut-out from a corner, it should be rectified immediately to let the air element run in your favor and bring about loads of success, stability and prosperity for you and your loved ones.

Sky Element
Sky Element signifies the height of growth and success. It brings about peace and poarsperity by connecting with the Brahma through the sub-conscious mind. Whenever we dream of something big, we always refer to the sky as it is limitless, huge and infinite. Sky is Shiv, the Almighty itself, so it is very important to activate a favorable sky element in your life which in turn would grant you peace of mind, body and soul.
