Kitchen is not only a place for cooking but is considered the most sacred part of the house. According to Vastu Shastra, kitchen is directly related to our health, good fortune and financial stability. It is said that in the house where the rules of Vaastu are followed in the kitchen, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Annapurna always reside there. Often, after a tiring day, we ignore the kitchen at night; However, this seemingly small mistake can spoil the peace and harmony of your home. If you want to ensure that your home never lacks wealth and prosperity, don’t forget to incorporate these three small but important changes into your nightly routine before sleeping.
1. Dirty dishes
Often out of laziness, people leave dirty dinner utensils in the sink, only to wash them the next morning, even though they remain dirty overnight. This is considered a major defect in Vastu Shastra. Dirty dishes left in the sink overnight generate negative energy, which increases stress and health problems among family members. According to the scriptures, this also increases the inauspicious influence of Rahu—a planet that is often associated with financial crisis. Therefore, make it your priority to wash the utensils before sleeping at night. If it is not possible to wash them completely, at least rinse them with water and keep them out of the kitchen area.
2. Cleaning the stove
Does your child spend too much time on mobile phone? These Vastu remedies can help in getting rid of that bad habit. The kitchen stove symbolizes the fire element, and fire is the ultimate source of energy. After cooking all day, food particles or dirt left on the stove attract negativity. According to Vastu, cooking food on a dirty stove the next morning hinders the flow of prosperity and blessings in the house. Before sleeping at night, thoroughly clean the stove as well as the countertop area around it. A clean and shining stove is a sign that there will be a positive flow of energy in your home, and the health of your family members will also be excellent.
3. Importance of light
According to Vastu, no part of the house—and especially the kitchen—should ever remain completely dark. Many people switch off the kitchen lights as soon as they finish their work. However, a completely dark kitchen can create fear and negativity within the home. Before sleeping, leave a small bulb (such as a zero-watt bulb) burning in a corner of the kitchen. By maintaining dim light in the kitchen, positive energies remain active, thereby opening the doors of happiness and prosperity for the family.
4. Magic of bucket full of water
Vastu experts also believe that after cleaning the kitchen at night, one should leave a bucket or vessel filled with water there. This solution is especially beneficial for those who are struggling with debt related problems. It is believed that keeping a vessel of water in the kitchen provides mental peace and opens new avenues of financial gain.
