Space Cleansing For The New Year

Clear out the clutter and usher in good fortune.

- S B S Surendran

Our surroundings and the environment have a great impact on our well-being and frame of mind. Some places we visit make us feel restless and wish to leave while others make us feel calm and happy to be there.

Creating a space that exudes harmony is important for our wellbeing. Unpleasant surroundings can have an adverse effect. They may bring ill-fortune affecting our health, wealth and relationships.

One should follow the basic tenets of vaastu and feng shui when one buys or builds a home. It is important to ensure it faces the right direction, there is proper placement of rooms, doors and windows, the décor in accord with vaastu or feng shui, and there are well-planned water features. This will increase your ability to weather the “storms of life” with minimum impact.
