Kitchens are the center and the stomach of every Indian family. Vaastu in the kitchen is vital to bring joy and good health to the lives of those who live there. Each appliance that is proud in its kitchen is essential when it’s installed in accordance with the principles of Vaastu; this will ensure that there is a positive vibe. Vaastu is a guru Asha Dhana, holistic life coach at Enlightening Lifestyle, believes that the kitchen is the ideal spot to improve your health and increase motivation. Here are some Vaastu techniques to create positive energy in the kitchen.
Directions Of The Kitchen
To ensure that your kitchen is surrounded by positive vibes, the four elements of sky, earth, fire, air, and water must be in balance in accordance with Vast Shasta. As per the Vastu Shastra, the Lord of Fire, Agni, resides in the southeast of the house, which suggests that the most ideal location of your kitchen should be located in the southeast of your house. If, for whatever reason, you aren’t able to achieve this, then the northwest direction should work.
Be sure to ensure that the kitchen isn’t constructed in the north, southwest, or northeast directions of the house since it can severely harm relations between the families. Every item in the kitchen is fire-related, which is why appliances like gas cookers, fire cylinder toasters and microwave ovens, along with other appliances, are best placed in the southeast corner of your kitchen. Furthermore, these objects must be arranged in a manner that can make it difficult for a person to look to the east when cooking. This can boost the energy, according to Dhana.
Washbasin And Cooking Range Placements
As per Vastu Shastra, cookware and washbasins, comprising stove, gas tank stove, and oven, shouldn’t be placed on the same level or in a parallel position in the kitchen, as water and fire are antagonistic elements that harm the behavior of a person. This can lead to unintentional fighting between family members and couples.
Water Pipe Placement
According to Vaastu for kitchens, it is recommended to put washbasins in the kitchen, along with washers, the water pipes and the drain for the kitchen to the direction of north or northeast within the kitchen. But a tanker that is overhead in the kitchen should never be positioned in the north or northeast direction. According to Dhana, the tanker must be located outside of the kitchen area in the west part of the home. It is crucial to maintain the balance between the water and fire elements. If there is a balanced balance with water, you will be prosperous in terms of prosperity and health.
Refrigerator And Pantry Positions
Your refrigerator must be placed towards the northwest in order to help you overcome challenges in your daily life. This will also create peace in the kitchen. The storage of grain and other items should be located toward the northwest of your kitchen since it brings luck, prosperity and good fortune.
Use Vibrant Colors
Avoid painting your kitchen black. Instead, paint the walls of your kitchen with vibrant colors like rose, yellow, chocolate brown, green, red, or orange. In addition to having a positive impact on health, they can also inspire the residents to complete their everyday tasks.
Place The Window And Ventilation In The East
A lack of airflow in kitchens could result in a variety of health issues for anyone who cooks within the kitchen. According to Vaastu, the correct placement of windows or air outlets such as chimneys or exhaust fans is crucial to drawing in the fresh air. The most effective direction to place the windows or exhaust fans is east.
