Declutter first
Clutter is the biggest source of stagnant energy. Remove broken items, unused things, old newspapers and anything you no longer need. Clean under beds, behind cupboards and in corners.
Let light and air in
- Open windows and doors daily.
- Let morning sunlight into the east and north rooms.
- Fix dark corners with lamps.
Cleansing remedies
- Mop floors with salt water once a week.
- Burn camphor morning and evening.
- Place salt bowls in heavy corners.
- Ring a bell or blow a conch in the morning.
- Play mantras such as the Gayatri Mantra.
Symbols and plants
Place tulsi in the north-east, a swastik at the entrance and healthy plants in the north and east. Remove cactus and dead plants from inside.
Repairs
Fix leaking taps, cracked walls, broken windows and non-working clocks. A well-maintained home is a positive home.
