Vastu / Feng Shui for EDUCATION:

The greatest difficulty of parents and students is in Education Field. Parents force the children to concentrate and work hard but the children are unable to do that. This is very common and nobody pays heed to the problem.

As such the problem is not with students, the problem is in the Feng Shui / Vastu of the house. People are not aware of Feng Shui /Vastushastra. This itself is a science which is called Edifice Science, relates to the building and plots. It can help to enhance education luck, concentration and satisfaction in studies. Applying this, students can score well and their graph of education will go high.

When we study Feng Shui / Vastushastra we find that there are nine corners of house or plot. These corners have their respective branches e.g. North corner is for Career, South corner is for Fame and Reputation, East for Health and West for Children’s creativity etc.  Among these one corner is of Education also. When there is any problem in that corner, respective branch is affected badly. To reverse the problem particular corner have to be cured or some modifications to be done.

Feng Shui / Vastu science bridges the gap between man and nature. There are two major energies i.e. Solar Energy and Geomagnetic Energy. These two energies effects the corner of house or plot very effectively and these can be controlled by taking some effective steps.

Education Corner: 

 Out of the nine corners one corner is of Education. This is of North East and this corner is very important because this is called Ishanya  or Ishver in vastu. The sun rises from the East move towards North and sets in the West. So the energy moves from this corner and goes to the house or plot. Be smart that it should always enter the positive energy from this corner. In Vastu North, East and North East corner should be lowest and out of these three if North East corner is lowest this will be very positive. This corner should be lowest, open, light, clutter free and well lit. This is essential in vastu and with this the Bio cosmic energy will further enhance the good luck of house or plot.

North East is the spiritual and educational corner. If one study and concentrates deeply on the ancient temples and religious monasteries of India, one will notice that north east corner is utilized very wisely. This is because sitting in this corner one can concentrate very easily. That is why this corner is used for Education.

Guideline to enhance North East corner:

Ø  Always leave maximum open space in north east of the property.
Ø  Let the sun should come from this side maximum.
Ø  There should not be any obstruction e.g. high walls, tall trees, polls etc.
Ø  Only small plants are advisable in this corner.
Ø  North east corner should be clutter free.
Ø  Try to keep this corner well lit at night.
Ø  This corner should be lowest of all the corners.
Ø  Any water object will enhance its positivity.

These some of the precautions which can save lot of efforts and enhance the corner.

Essential tips for Education:

1.      Direction.
2.      Color
3.      Sitting plan
4.      Element
5.      Alleviation
6.      Defective corner
7.      Kua Number in Feng Shui.

Direction:

Feng shui is based on directions as there are eight directions. Each direction has its own role and importance. The element of the NE is Earth. The color is yellow, beige. As NE is associated with Education and learning. NE is the corner of school children or who are aspiring for higher studies. Students should  always associate with this corner. Arrange the study furniture in this corner for student like chair and table or desk. A comfortable chair should also be there. While studying or doing schoolwork, student should sit on the proper chair and in this corner.

Next important step to be taken care of is that this corner should always be clutter free. Always keep the table clear from books and other study material. Bundle of books on table will stress the student and he will always be in tension.

To get the maximum from this corner with minimum efforts one should energize or activate this corner. The more the energy is produced here more the positive results will be achieved. NE corner is associated with Earth in Feng Shui.  So earth element has to be enhanced. Placing or decorating this corner with Earth symbols such as porcelain, clay or pottery elements. These decoration pieces reinforce energy as they are connected with earth. Quartz is also associated with this corner as they attract earth element very strongly. The cycle of element in feng shui fire produces earth. So candles and pieces which reflect fire element can also be placed in this corner.

Color:

Colors are very important in feng shui. Each direction has its own color e.g. North the element is water and color is blue and black, east the element is wood and color is green and brown etc. While using these colors one can enhance the Ki or Ki can be reduced. It all depends how these cycle of color is used in feng shui. There are three type of cycle in feng shui, productive, destructive and exhaustive.

For studies always try to decorate this corner with earth colors. When we decorate any corner with colors the Ki is enhanced and the results are achieved very fast. This corner can be decorated with Earth or Fire color. As earth color is yellow or beige and fire color is red and orange. These colors enhance the positive Ki, which is good for students. Fire color can be used as the cycle of element fire produces earth, so red, orange and pink give boost to this sector. Be sure that when using the color it should be balanced and not over powered. Excess is everything bad. So using excessive colors may not give positive results, it may give some negative effects.

There should be balance (Yin or Yang).  Students need yang energy, but it should be balanced yin and yang. If excess yang energy is used the students become stubborn or hyperactive and then it will be difficult to control him. So using the color one should study or be particular which color may give yang energy and how it should be controlled with yin energy.

Sitting Plan:

Any posture in feng shui hints some meaning. The masters understand it easily. In learning and education one must follow the sitting plan. As there are two types of students, one is bright and the other is average. These two have their different situation in a room.

Intelligent students should sit in north east and facing towards east. This is the best sitting plan for them. Whereas the average students should sit in the west room in north east corner and facing east. This will boost their brain and memory which results that they can grasp very easily. In both the cases the north east and east plays a pivotal role.

The light should come from left side or from behind. Natural light is very good for them or they should use table lamps. They should sit on chair and table. Their back should not be towards doors or windows.  Their table should not touch the wall. At least 6-8 inches away from wall.
 
Elements:
Every element in this universe or space has its own energy. It produces different results when it radiates mingled with others. In feng shui like color and direction, element is also very important. Every direction is connected with its own element e.g. south direction the element is fire, west direction the element is metal and north east which is corner of education the element is earth. There are five elements: Water,
Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.


              
Water             Wood                   Fire                  Earth                  Metal               


There are three types of cycle of these elements. Productive, Destructive and Exhaustive cycle. Always try to implement either productive cycle or exhaustive cycle. Do not try to use destructive cycle.

 Productive cycle is: water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth and earth produces metal.
Exhaustive cycle is wood exhaust water, water exhaust metal, metal exhausts earth, earth exhaust fire and fire exhaust wood.

Destructive cycle of element is water destroy fire, fire destroys metal, metal destroy wood, wood destroys earth and earth destroys water.

These are three feng shui cycle of element. In education also the element has its own role. Element dominates and with this help the Ki can be changed or modified in one’s favor. But always take care that excess should not be used.

Alleviation:

Alignment or alleviation of room flooring or plot is very important. Where ever the student sits and study, the flow of the place should be towards North East, East or North. It is very important because positive energy flows from lower lever to higher lever. This type of floor will be boon for students.

Corners:

Corners are important not only  in education but whole of life, not only to the individuals but the entire family. The room or plot should be either square or rectangular. These two forms are the best for everyone. If there is any cut, missing corner or defect in the corner it will produce negative energy, which is very harmful.  For example the East corner is defective or missing, and then it will bring difficulties in family and health those living there. In education always take care of the north east corner. It should be equal and without defect. If you find any type of defect, go for some remedies for that the development of children.

Kua Number:

Keeping other things in mind which are important, Kua number is the most important of all. Every individual has its own Kua number. DoB and gender is taken to calculate Kua number. Under this kua number there are four favorable and four unfavorable directions. To achieve the best results one should always use the favorable directions only. These directions can be decided after calculating the kua number. In feng shui FU WEI is the direction of education.

Once this direction is calculated from kua number, using the good compass always try that student should sit facing this direction. He should also sleep in this direction. Keeping in mind always use this direction. This way s/he can tap the maximum energy and this will help in concentration and achieving good results.
