Study rooms designed by Vastu Shastra can enhance the concentration of your child or any student in your home, or if you choose to use the room as your own study space. Ideally, a study room built according to the principles of Vastu Shastra can provide the student in the house with the much-needed boost to excel academically. Our Indic sciences offer solutions for every aspect of our lives. Consider using Vastu-verified colors in the study room for an added touch of harmony and positive energy.
When pursuing academics and building a career, maintaining focus and a calm mind is crucial to grappling with subjects and enhancing retention power. Often overlooked, the placement of space, furniture arrangement, and wall colors can play an important role in aiding these pursuits. If you have family members in school or pursuing academics, or if you need a haven for focusing on important subjects, consider implementing these Vastu tips.
Placement of study room and study table
- The study room can be in the West, North-West, and/or West of South-West.
- Ideally, there should be a lot of open space in front of the study table. This aids in concentration.
- While studying, face the East or North as the cosmic energy waves emanating from these directions are beneficial in stimulating the chakras. These waves enter our body through the Sahasrar Chakra, which helps in concentrate better.
- These days, in many houses, the study table is small and mostly attached to a wall. The presence of a wall in front of the study table isn’t good. A protruding cupboard from the wall (and the adjoining study table) produces energy fields that exert pressure on a child’s concentration while studying. This kind of arrangement should be avoided.
- The table can be placed near a wall, but one must ensure there isn’t any protruding cupboard from the wall.
- You can make the study room or the place vibrant, clean, and neat. It is beneficial to place a plastic, copper, or crystal pyramid on the study table along with a photo of Goddess Saraswati on the wall in front or place a Yantra to increase concentration. One can also keep a picture or a statue of Lord Ganesha. For people belonging to other faiths, one can accordingly use images or scripts as symbolic of their faiths.
- Sitting in the South-West and facing the North-East while studying is ideal. The North-East in the front should be vacant.
- Ensure that the back gets solid support.
- Do not sit below any beam or protruding cupboard overhead while studying. This could create energy pressure hampering focus and concentration
- A study room in the North-East having a wall in that same direction is extremely beneficial.
- If there’s a window overlooking a crowded street, it is beneficial to face the North or East as an alternative.
- If one is unable to concentrate while sitting in the North-West, change locations.
- Facing a direction other than the North-East may involve more effort and lesser success.
- Intrinsic defects in the North-East direction, if any, can be rectified using remedial measures.
Vastu-verified colors for your study room
Vastu-verified colors for the study room include light/neutral color schemes for better concentration. Ideal colors for the study room are:
Green
Light-green
Pastel blue
Cream
White
All the above vastu-verified colors have a calming effect on the mind, which leads to concentration. One must avoid the usage of dark tones. The subtle colors also enhance and reflect the natural light entering the room, thereby increasing the positivity and clarity, necessary in the process of studying or learning a subject.
About Vastu Shastra
Vaastu Shastra, the metaphysical edifice science of Indian origin, is a science of construction that synchronizes the balance between human life and nature. The five basic elements (namely space, air, fire, water, and earth), the eight directions (namely North, North-East, East, South-East, South, South-West, West, North-West), the electromagnetic and gravitational forces of the Earth, the cosmic energy emanating from the planets as well as the atmosphere and its influence on human life are all taken into consideration in the science of Vastu Shastra.
