According to Vastu Shastra in Indian tradition, every item in the house is not only a material object, but is also considered to be a flow of energy in it. Based on this belief, it is said that old furniture or used items also bring with them the energy, events and memories of the previous place, which can affect the environment of the new house.
How is the effect of old stuff considered?
According to Vaastu beliefs, if an object has been in use at some other place for a long time, then it can accumulate the energy there within itself. When the same object is brought to a new house, it is believed that that energy combines with the environment there and has an impact.
It can affect people’s mood, mental state and home environment. Many times people experience it as restlessness, fatigue or an unbalanced environment.
Potential impact (as per assumptions)
Experiencing a negative or overwhelming environment at home Mental stress or instability Decreased sleep or rest Mild stress in relationships Feeling low on energy or feeling tired
Remedies according to Vaastu
Some simple measures have been suggested in Vastu Shastra to reduce the effect of old items:
Cleaning and purifying old furniture thoroughly Cleaning with salt water (considered for energy purification) Purifying the atmosphere of the home with incense or incense sticks Removing unnecessary or excessively old and broken items Maintaining regular cleanliness and order in the home
Ways to maintain positive energy
According to Vastu, not only objects but also thinking and environment are important to maintain positive energy in the house. Light colors, clean space and organized things maintain balance and peace in the house.
