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).
