According to Vastu Shastra, it is not just the direction of the house or the layout of the rooms that matters; Our eating habits and where we sit and eat also have a direct impact on our financial condition and health. It is believed that eating food at the wrong place angers Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Annapurna, which leads to poverty and gradual financial ruin. Let us know at which places eating food should be avoided according to the rules of Vaastu.
1. Eating while sitting in bed
Many people these days like to eat while sitting in bed, perhaps while watching TV or relaxing. According to Vaastu, this is a major drawback. Bed is for sleeping and resting; Eating food there increases the negative effect of Rahu. This habit not only causes financial loss, but a person can also get trapped in debt and may also suffer from diseases like insomnia.
2. Eating in broken utensils
If there is even a slight crack in any vessel or plate, it should be removed immediately. Eating food in broken or cracked utensils is considered a direct cause of bad luck and poverty. Always use clean and whole utensils only.
3. Eating in a dark or poorly lit place
One should never eat food in a place where there is little light or it is very dark. Darkness symbolizes negative energy. Eating food in dim light brings negativity to the body, spoils the digestive system and hinders economic progress.
4. Eating while holding food in hand
Some people start eating food with their hands in a hurry or while standing. It is said in the scriptures that one should honor eating by sitting and keeping the plate at a proper place (like a table or the ground). Eating while holding food in hand is considered disrespectful to food, which brings poverty in the house.
5. Near cremation grounds or places with negative energy.
A person should avoid eating food in places where there is a high flow of negative energy – like near cremation grounds or in very dirty places. This habit increases mental stress and due to illness and unnecessary expenses, a person’s savings gradually start decreasing.
