Now that we realize how essential Vastu Shastra is for the health of your child, let's dive into these tips and transform your child's room into an arena of health, happiness, and positivity.
Direction of the Child's Room
It starts from the direction in which your child's room is located. Ideally, the room should be in line with the east or north or the northeast of your home. These directions are said to be in favor of creativity and calm, peaceful energies—perfect for growth and development in children.
Bed Placement
After that is bed placement, another important feature in Vastu. The bed should be kept to the southwest of the corner of the room, with the head in the position to be oriented east or south. This ensures the child enjoys good sleep and is well-rejuvenated. Otherwise, it can cause undue restlessness and anxiety because children should not be sleeping under a beam or too close to the door.
Colour and Decor
Colors play a very major role in Vastu since they control the mood and energy of a person. Here are some light, soothing shades good for your child: light blues, greens, and pastel shades. They not only bring peace but create a feeling of creativity. Put images or items in the room that invoke happiness and positivity: nature, play, or some good and encouraging thoughts. One should avoid using dark and intense colors since they will adhere to the general rule of making a person aggressive and restless.
Space Without Clutter
A clean setup is indispensable for a child's healthy and cheerful living. Ordered shelves or toy racks keep a room free from mess and make way for the flow of positive energy to reach the child's mind. Do not keep scattered or dirty toys. Clear away the broken ones. Encourage organized storage compartments for toys, books, and clothes. De-clutter the space regularly; it is beneficial in maintaining freshness and inviting vibes. A clean room also enhances greater levels of focus, calmness, and overall well-being.
Natural Light and Ventilation
Fresh air and natural light are typical components that create a lively, healthy atmosphere. Make sure your child's room is airy; give it big windows to allow sunlight and provide good circulation. Sunlight is the greatest purifying agent of nature and a wealth source of Vitamin D, which is also an essential element in your child's development. Fresh air, on the other hand, will make the room airy and full of life and keep them active, besides supporting healthy respiratory systems.
Placement of the Study Area
For the growing minds, study space must also be chosen. The study desk should be located in the north or east direction as these two directions increase focus and learning power. The child should sit facing in the north or east direction to focus his mind and retain more. A well-illuminated study space with no noise and other disturbances will show brilliance in your child's class work.
No sharp edges
Corners and edges that are pointed are a big aversion in Vastu as it counts as strictly against them in decorating a child's room as they work adversely in the generation of negative energy and become quite hazardous. Therefore your choices should be in the selection of the furniture that has been made with rounded edges for safety and harmony. If you have already got furniture with pointy corners, then one can easily take off its look a notch high by adding corner guards or placing plants near them.
Add some plant greenery to your child's room; this is a wonderful method for making the room full of positive energy. Avoid thorny plants and cacti as they are believed to bring in negative energy. Greenery does actually add to the feel of freshness, liveness, and serenity in a room.
Bed Position for Infants
For Babies, the bed placement becomes a little more dramatic. The crib or the bed has to be placed in the south-west part of the room in such a way the baby faces towards the east in his sleep. This ensures that the baby sleeps in peace and also experiences good growth. Keep the surroundings of the crib free from any waste and do not hang any articles right above the crib, which are heavy.
Mirror
Mirrors in a child's room can be a delicate topic in Vastu. It is not at all advised that mirrors be left around where reflections on the bed are clearly visible. Any reflections during the sleep would lead to sleep disturbance and not let the child be at peace. You can have a mirror inside a closet door or where it doesn't directly reflect the bed.
Electronic Devices
Electronic gadgets cause electromagnetic radiation and can disturb sleep and concentration. Keep the electronic devices, such as television sets, computers, and cellphones, out of easy reach from your child's bedroom; if not really necessary inside the room, perhaps just avoid placing one there. If there is an exception to this rule, then at least have the gadgets farther from the bed and study area. Minimize screen use especially close to bedtime to ensure a peaceful rest.
A Space for Positive Vibes and Affirmations
Surround your child with positive vibrations and affirmations. Put up some nice quotes and pictures in the room that reflect positive thoughts and beliefs. You can also do daily affirmations with your child. Simple statements such as "I am happy," "I am healthy," and "I can do it" will do wonders in preparing him or her to be confident and healthy at mind.
Regular Cleansing and Purification
Regular cleansing and purification of the room are necessary to uphold a positive environment. Use natural incense, essential oils, or salt lamps to cleanse the space. Regularly open the windows for fresh air and sunlight. The essence of keeping the room clean and purified is that there is no room for the survival of negative energy that acts as an inhibitor to general well-being.
Properly Balanced Elements
Vastu stands for bringing the 5 elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—into balance.So, all have to be in your child's room. Represent the earth with wooden furniture, water with an aquarium or small fountain, fire with natural light, air with plants and fresh air, and space with an uncluttered, broad room. All these will furnish a balanced room that surely provides ideas for harmonious living and well-being.
A room for your child that is vastu-compliant will create good effects on his health, happiness, and overall development. This balanced place will ensure placements of rooms and bed arrangements, the colors of decoration, among a host of other series of details, in such a way that the environment designed is highly nurturing to invoke positive energy and well-being.
You want to keep it clear, light, and full of good vibes so your child would want to be in their room surrounded by love, positivity, and harmony.
