Facing direction
- East: best for memory, learning and new ideas. Ideal for school students.
- North: good for competitive exams, career-oriented study and professional courses.
- North-east: excellent for spiritual and higher studies.
- Avoid south and south-west facing positions, which are linked with poor concentration.
Table rules
- Use a square or rectangular table, not round or irregular.
- Keep the table neat, with only the books you need.
- Place the table lamp on the south-east corner.
- A solid wall behind the chair gives support and confidence.
- Avoid a mirror in front of the study table.
Where in the room
The study table can be in the east, north or north-east of the room. Avoid the south-west corner and avoid placing the desk in the middle of the room.
Simple daily habits
- Begin study with a short prayer or a few deep breaths.
- Keep a bottle of water on the north-east of the desk.
- Remove phones and games from the study table while studying.
These small changes create an environment where the mind can settle and learning comes more easily.
