Vastu tips to tackle anxiety

Anxiety is caused if the occupants of the house start sleeping in the Vastu zone of churning -East-South-East (ESE). Another cause of anxiety is practising yoga or offering prayers in this zone.

If this zone is cut it will make the person restless thereby multiplying the levels of anxiety further. Similarly, an extension of this zone will make him over analytical. Sleeping here leads to disturbed relationships and health. Hence, bedroom in East-South-East is a strict NO.

However, if your bedroom is already in this zone, it does not mean that you have to deconstruct the house or shift your bedroom to a less comforting room. Vastu Shastra not only tells you about the ideal zones, it also tells you how to curb the negative energies in case there is a Vastu fault. Just paint the walls in either light cream. It will absorb the stress and anxiety levels to a great extent.

Another zone that affects mental health and is primarily seen as the cause of acute depression is West-North-West. Bedroom should be avoided in this area of the house as well. Depression can also be caused if you create a temple or a prayer room in South-South-West, which is marked as the zone of expenditure and wastage. Likewise, dumping things or locating a store room or a toilet in the North-East direction of the house can leave the occupants in a state of depression.

Although the most impactful solution is to shift the activities to their respective zones, it may not always be possible due to paucity of space or other reasons. You can opt for many alternative solutions like using appropriate colours or lights. Best is to consult a certified MahaVastu Expert for that.

Apart from getting rid of anxiety by following the above-mentioned solutions, one can also move ahead with more agility by simply placing a sculpture of a deer in the West-North-West zone and also by placing a washing machine in the same, as it will wash away the bad experiences of the past and help you start afresh – with the promise of little or no stress and anxiety in the future.
