Can Vaastu Improve Your Sex Life?
Any problem in this area and the impact is felt in all aspects of married life. The factors that contribute to marital satisfaction, besides sex, are age at the time of marriage, physical attraction, compatibility of socioeconomic backgrounds, similar goals and interests, children, and so on. But why do some compatible married couples experience hiccups in their sex lives? The mystery lies more on the outside than in the mind. This is where Vaastu fits in. It is true that Vaastu Shastra does not have anything exclusive on enhancing ones sex life, but it does provide enough inputs to make your life rock in bed. All it requires is an expert who can interpret it in our context. The first and foremost consideration for a happy sexual life is making the environment conducive to total enjoyment. Vaastu can help you achieve that.
The Importance of Your Bedroom:
Your bedroom is as important as the person you sleep with! The location of your bedroom in the house does influence your sex life.
Let’s see how:
· A bedroom to the south or south- west provides stability in a marital relationship. A couple staying in this bedroom enjoys long- term physical attraction towards each other that generally translates into good physical relations. The occupants always remain in control of their lives – even their sex lives – in this room.
· South- east, the agni corner, is associated with heat and brings fiery passions to the fore. A couple generally desires instant sexual gratification in this bedroom. Little wonder, this direction assures an active life between the sheets! Be warned, though, that this direction can also make you short tempered, leading to frequent tiffs with your spouse. Don’t make it your permanent bedroom.
· A bedroom to the north is ideal for young couples. Sex in this direction is not only satisfying, but also most enjoyable. Care should be taken in arranging the bed in this room. The headboard of the bed should not point towards the north.
· A newly married couple can enjoy great sex in the north- west bedroom. This is because Vaayu, the God of Wind, who governs this direction, provides sexual energy for those steamy sessions. But this bedroom does not promote stay for longer periods.
· A bedroom to the West is most fertile and is a perfect prop for a satisfying love life. According to Vaastu Shastra, there is more probability of girls being born, than boys, in this direction. If your bedroom is not in any of these directions, don’t worry. There are remedies to make your existing bedroom your sex zone.
Make Your Bedroom Your Sex Zone.
The first step is to ensure your bedroom reflects your and your spouse’s personality and is aligned to the needs of both. For the prerequisite for good sex is to get into the mood, especially for women, it is important that the bedroom is arranged accordingly. It may surprise you to know that by following the principles of Vaastu you can make your bedroom your sex zone, irrespective of its location.
Here’s how:
· Make your bedroom exclusive for intimacy by getting items that remind you of work out of sight. For example, there should be no briefcases, files, aprons, dusters, and the like, visible in the room.
· Nature has a way to soothe and relax the mind, so bring it into your bedroom by placing fresh flowers on the north- east side of the room. The freshness and fragrance of flowers help in enhancing the feelings of love.
· Clutter in any form is akin to a jarring note in a carefully arranged piece of music. Because making music in bed is your aim, never allow clothes, shoes, papers, toiletry items, and so on to lie around in the room. Put them systematically in their respective places. A neat and clean look enhances romantic feelings.
· The head of the bed should ideally point towards the south, even though no one expects you to point your head towards the south during your play in bed! But ensure the door to the bedroom is clearly visible from your bed.
· Although a mirror is not recommended in the bedroom and should always be covered when not in use, it enhances pleasure while making love.
· If there’s a puja corner in your bedroom, partition it out, so that you can engage in sex without getting distracted by pious thoughts.

Why am I disturbed?
Q. The entrance to my house faces the northeast or east direction and the master bedroom is towards the southeast direction. I have of late been very disturbed mentally and have had some problems where finances and my career are concerned.
A. It is preferable to have the front door facing the northeast direction instead of the southeast. You can go for this house if the main gate is from east and there is a driveway in the northeast.
Q. I want to plant some sacred plants, bilva patra and peepal ( banyan) at home. Where should I put them?
A. One does not recommend planting a peepal near a residence. Bilva is ok. Other acceptable plants are jackfruit, plantain, pomegranate, grape, neem, lime, tulsi , and mango. If not on this list, then other plants are probably unacceptable. Trees with insects, worms, honeybees, owls and serpents, should be avoided. Sweet smelling flowering plants like jasmine, lotus etc, are considered good.
Q. Please recommend some simple ways to get rid of negative energies inside a house.
A. Bless the home and treat it like a dear friend. Anoint it with good scents and decorate it with flowers. Play sacred chants regularly on your music system.
A. A sink is not that important but a burner location and cooking direction is. These should be in the southeast side with a person facing east while cooking. Don’t have the burner and sink on same platform.
Q. Can staircase be in an anticlockwise direction?
A. A staircase needs to circulate clockwise as it goes up.
A. A house that faces southwest will have less coherence with the earth energy grid and the solar energy influences. This means less abundant energy feeding the occupants. It could also have an influence of too much heat on various levels, body, mind and heart. However, this is not necessarily the case all the time and the exact orientation must be analysed.
A. All directions give different outputs.
East facing: Physical comfort, mental peace.
West facing: Material prosperity.
North facing: Money.
South facing: salvation and redemption.
Q. We have a nice bedroom with large windows and a balcony leading from it. We want to place a dressing table with a mirror in it. Which is the best direction for it?
A. Normally exposed mirrors are not good in the bedroom if you use a night lamp at night while you sleep. If the lamp isn’t used then the dressing table can be put on the north or east wall. It should at no cost be in front of the bed or facing the bed.
