Fixing Vastu Problems Without Breaking or Rebuilding
Whenever people call me for a Vastu check in their house, the first question they ask is – “Panditji, will we have to break walls or reconstruct the house?”
My simple answer is no, not always.
Vastu is mainly about energy balance, not only about bricks and walls. In today’s time, most people live in ready-made houses, apartments, or villas where big changes are not possible. But don’t worry—most Vastu doshas (problems) can be corrected with small adjustments in interiors, colors, symbols, and placements.
Let me share with you some very practical ways to fix Vastu without demolition.
1. Colors Can Change Energy
Every direction has its own element, and color can balance it.
- In the Northeast, use light blue or cream shades – it increases peace and positivity.
- In the Southeast (fire corner), use red, orange, or bright yellow shades to improve energy.
- In the Southwest, earthy tones like beige, mustard, or brown give stability in life.
Sometimes just a small wall color change or even adding curtains/cushions in the right shade is enough.
2. Mirrors Are Powerful Tools
Mirrors can expand and reflect energy. But placement is very important.
- A mirror in the dining area doubles prosperity.
- Never keep a mirror directly opposite to the bed—it disturbs sleep.
- If a corner of your house is very dark, a mirror can make it brighter and more active.
3. Metals, Pyramids & Crystals
I often suggest small Vastu items instead of breaking structures.
- Copper pyramids are very effective in correcting energy in the wrong directions.
- Wind chimes with metal rods create positive sound energy.
- Clear crystals in the Northeast bring harmony and peace.
These are small, affordable remedies but give very good results.
4. Plants Add Life to the House
Greenery itself is positive energy.
- Keep a Tulsi plant in the Northeast—it purifies the air and mind.
- A money plant in the Southeast brings financial growth.
- A few bamboo plants in the East corner improve health and progress.
Even small balcony or indoor plants work beautifully.
5. Light Removes Negativity
Where there is light, energy flows. Dark corners collect negative energy.
- Always keep the main entrance bright and welcoming.
- Use warm yellow lights in the living room for harmony.
- For study or work areas, white light helps concentration.
6. Sacred Symbols & Positive Paintings
Simple spiritual symbols create a big difference.
- Place Swastik, Om or Shree Yantra in the pooja or entrance.
- A painting of sunrise in the East brings new opportunities.
- Pictures of water (lakes, rivers) in the North improve money flow.
Some Common Vastu Problems & Remedies
- Toilet in Northeast → Keep door shut, use light colors, place copper strip outside.
- Kitchen in North → Keep red items (mat, curtain) and place a brass pyramid.
- Bedroom in Southeast → Use pastel colors and place a crystal ball.
- South-facing main door → Place Swastik or pyramids above the entrance for protection.
Final Thought
Vastu is not about fear, it is about balance. You don’t need to break your house to correct it. By making small changes in interiors, colors, plants, lights, and symbols, you can bring harmony and positivity in your home.
I have seen many families benefit from these simple methods. So before thinking of big construction changes, try enhancing the energy of your space. You will feel the difference.
