“What you think is what you get”—you must have heard this saying many times from your elders. But do you know that the directions related to *Space Element* play an important role in making this a reality? These directions help connect our thoughts, our spoken words, and our prayers directly to the cosmic energy. According to Vastu Shastra, words spoken and thoughts thought while sitting in these specific directions come true very quickly. Therefore, one should never hold negative thoughts in mind or out loud nor speak negative words while sitting in the directions ruled by the sky element.
Which directions are associated with the sky element?
In Vastu, the directions West-South-West, West, West-North-West and North-West are considered to be associated with the sky element. Of these, the first two directions—west-south-west and west—are of special importance. The first direction is associated with Goddess Saraswati, while the second direction is associated with Lord Shani (planet Saturn) and Lord Vishnu. Because of this direct connection with the cosmic power, in most of the temples of Vrindavan, the idol of Lord Krishna is installed facing west. Even inside the house, it is considered very auspicious to have a puja room or temple in the west direction. It is also considered beneficial for children to study while sitting in this direction. The West-South-West direction (which is associated with Goddess Saraswati) is excellent for honing your skills in any subject. However, sitting in these two directions and having negative conversations can increase negativity in your own life.
The north-west direction also comes under the category of positive directions associated with the sky element. In contrast, the west-northwest direction is considered an ideal place for “detoxing”—that is, lightening up emotionally. This means that it is beneficial to sit in this direction for some time to express and relieve yourself of any inner pain or sorrow.
What should you *not* do while sitting in the directions of the sky element?
Do not speak bad about any member of the family while sitting in the directions of the sky element. Avoid scolding or reprimanding children in a negative or harsh manner. Never speak disrespectful words toward God, nor curse your life; Because whatever you say out loud can very quickly turn into reality. It is considered beneficial to keep children’s educational material in this direction.
It is considered very auspicious to sit in these directions to make good plans for your future. Having positive thinking brings success to a person’s efforts. Once a day, sit facing this direction with your eyes closed and hands folded, and express your heart’s desires. Your wishes will be fulfilled soon.
