Рина Задвиль – Vastu for personal growth and self-realization (страница 5)

With the help of Vastu, a person’s life can be improved by 20%. If the correction is stronger than the defect, it will work. Corrections can provide protection and support, and they can also change qualities that must, in any case, be worked on. It is important that corrections be individually suitable for each person living in the home. For example, if a certain planet is extremely strong or extremely negative in the horoscope, it is better not to strengthen it, so as not to provoke a negative reaction.

Sometimes, when one is first introduced to Vastu Shastra, every defect seems like a catastrophe – but one should not take it so heavily. We must compose ourselves and understand that there is probably a reason for it, and calm down. It is very important to apply corrections in the best manner. Stress and panic interfere with correction.

Before beginning any correction, it is important to make sure that the direction in which the defect is identified is accurate. It is better to use only evidence-based corrections, not invented ones. One must ensure that the corrections intended are truly appropriate for the defective place. It is better not to rush to apply all corrections immediately upon discovering them, because if there is not enough knowledge, haste can cause harm. One should also be cautious with corrections that resemble spells. Some of them are forbidden for use, considered dangerous, and not particularly beneficial.

It is better not to mix Vastu with other planning principles, as this is unjustified in most cases and can harm the flow of energies if an object does not suit the direction and energies in which it is placed. In many religions, ancient scriptures were not translated properly into modern languages, so there is not enough information to use them correctly.

A good example is sleeping directions. According to Vastu, the best directions for sleeping are with the head to the east or south, while the north and northeast are considered the worst directions for sleep. Despite this, in Judaism and Feng Shui one is advised to sleep with the head to the north. According to Vastu, one must not sleep with the head to the north, as this direction contributes to death. There are longitudinal lines running between north and south. As is known, in the Vedic science of Vastu, the construction of the Earth holds profound significance, as it is directly connected to cosmic influences (magnetic fields). And yet, despite this, people often do not delve into these topics and accept as correct whatever a rabbi, yogi, or Feng Shui consultant tells them. The part that has not yet been translated properly is proof that only highly spiritual individuals (to the degree that they can decide when they wish to leave this world) may sleep with their head to the north. Naturally, this is not the only thing they do – they undergo various practices and do many things to ensure an easy departure at death. An ordinary person (99% of people in the world) would suffer greatly from different illnesses and fall into unpleasant or even dangerous situations until they die.

Cheap corrections are also not recommended. One should not be greedy and expect good results – it does not work this way. To receive something good, one must invest, just as in any matter. There may be a situation in which a person is greedy and therefore cannot earn or receive a promotion (or influences those living with them in this way). In such a case, one must first work on the inner issue and only afterward think about changing something in the home. When someone is reluctant to spend money on corrections, they do not truly believe in them, because they do not value them and perhaps even neglect them – therefore the corrections will not help after being applied. One must appreciate everything one receives.

Every defect must be corrected using three methods of correction:

The first method – burying an object underground.

The second method – placing it on the ground or on the floor (this may include wall paint), or concealing it inside the wall at floor level (there are specific objects that can be placed in the wall at floor level).

The third method – hanging it from the ceiling or placing it above floor level (hanging something on the wall or ceiling, or placing an object on furniture standing on the floor).

Otherwise, the correction will have minimal influence on the defective area.

Sometimes corrections begin to work the same day, and sometimes much later. It all depends on the strength of the correction, the inner state, and what is happening in the home.

When one suffers for a long time from areas with defects, this begins to negatively affect health. For example, a dosha in the southwest can lead to mental illness. But not only health may suffer – various processes that a person wants to undertake simply cannot occur. For example, if a person wants to divorce, they will not be able to do so if there is a defect in the west of the home. If there are problems with children, they will be more difficult to resolve if there is a defect in the northeast.

First of all, corrections should begin at the center of the plot and of the home. One begins correcting from the sectors of outgoing energy, following the clockwise direction (from the southeast to the south, and so on), and finishes in the east. Only after the land has been corrected should one begin correcting the house, following the same path in the clockwise direction through the same negative sectors. Corrections begin on the lowest floor and end on the highest.

If one wishes to correct a positive direction, one must first verify whether the opposite negative direction has been corrected. If not, the negative direction must be corrected first, and only afterward may one proceed to correcting the positive direction. Likewise, if the correction of a positive direction does not help sufficiently, one should correct and strengthen the negative direction opposite to it. For example, if you corrected the east and after some time there are no changes and the problem remains unresolved, you should correct or strengthen the west.

Various Defects and Methods for Working with Them

Defects of various types around the home or at the entrance to the home are considered Vedha Dosha. In cases where the defect is located far from the home at a distance equal to the height of the building multiplied by itself, there will be no negative influence from the defect.

When the defect does influence the home, it must be removed. If the issue concerns garbage containers, it is advisable to move them elsewhere. If removing the Vedha Dosha is impossible for various reasons, it is recommended to strengthen the Vastu influences inside the home (in the direction where the defect is located).

One may also use pyramid yantras. Such a pyramid consists of several layers: the upper layer is one large pyramid that encompasses all the lower layers. The second layer consists of 9 pyramids, and beneath each of these 9 pyramids are 9 additional pyramids in the next layer (the third layer contains 81 pyramids). The bottom layer is composed of 9 equal parts. There are several types of pyramid yantras.

To protect against Vedha Dosha, one may create a kind of “protective wall” using these pyramids. One must place 8 pyramids in a row beneath the ground in front of each exposed front side of the house, and an additional 2 pyramids – one on each side of the entrance to the yard (within the yard), also underground.

The meaning of the word shalya in Sanskrit is “that which causes pain,” “bones.” This means that any bones located underground will bring problems to a person. This is the reason why one cannot live near a cemetery.

All types of substances found underground are considered shalya: dishes, ceramics, metals, bones, pitchers, and other items. Everything found in the earth carries either a positive or negative meaning (as described in my first book, Vastu for Harmony in the Home and Success in Business).

All negative objects under the ground generate negative energies that will actively influence the residents. This influence is usually expressed through nightmares, health problems, mental disturbances, and other issues – all of which become stronger the longer a person lives in such a place.

There are two types of Shalya Dosha:

A material type (as described earlier).

An energetic type – spirits, semi-divine beings, non-material entities, and geopathogenic zones.

99% of people who buy homes have no way of knowing what occurred on that land before the building was constructed, or what happened inside the home before the owners decided to sell it. Therefore, it is important to attempt to learn something before purchasing any plot or built home. It is essential to ask who lived in the house before, how they lived, and why they wish to move to another home.

Sometimes the owners tell their own story. If the previous owners had a dog, one should check whether it buried a bone or toy in the soil. In some countries, people bury family members and pets near their homes, which is extremely problematic. During one of my trips to Greece, the guide told us that local residents often bury their relatives in the yards of their homes. Perhaps this is one of the reasons Greece experiences economic difficulties.
