Living is the most used room in our homes where we spend most of the time during the day. For me it is the first space I enter after i leave my bedroom in the morning until the end of my day. Most of my time is spend in this zone for daily chores as well as my work space is in here. This space is enjoyed and utilized the most, filled with memories of loved ones and friends because its where we connect with outsiders in our space.

WHOLISTIC LIVING SPACE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LIVING ROOM

​​

  • The family/ living room is an extension of our personality which represents our connecting space with our social groups. People are invited and welcomed in the living or the family room as your floor plan of the house might suggest. There are houses with separate living and family room but it serves the same purpose, depending on the location of their placement on the floor plan it might help us gain better energies by choosing the best zone.

  • It is beneficial for the host/owner of the house, that their furniture layout of sitting arrangement should be managed in such a manner that they should always face the east while social communication and north while business-related talks with others this helps in a win-win and smooth communication for both the parties.

  • Most furniture display like the sofa and arm chairs should be against the west wall or south wall. Choose your personal favorite space in the living room in these directions as it supports the host to have a better command and control while negotiating or communicating with others.

  • A fresh flower arrangement can always be used in the living room to brighten up the space and add a natural healing element to the space. Avoid dried flower arrangement as it has dead energy and blocks the follow of energy in the house. If artificial flower arrangements are used in the living space please make sure they do not collect dust on them and are cleaned regularly. Colors of the flowers should be selected as per the direction it is being kept, try avoid wrong element color in any zone.

  • Television should be placed on the East/North wall so that when we watch, we receive the positive energy from the East or Magnetic energy from the North. The screen of the Television acts as a mirror so it also enhances the magnetic energy of the living room. Try to avoid placing the TV on the south wall as it drains our energy, the west can be considered if that's the only available place. Check the balancing elements of the TV placements for best results.

  • Full-length mirrors if used should be placed on the North or East zone in the living room to enhance the energy in case you have plans to keep them. Care should be taken while using mirrors in the living room or any room since it can create negative effects when placed in the wrong zones of the house. ​

  • Wall clocks and calendars should be placed on the East/North wall only. It should always be updated in the present time. If the clock has stopped working make sure to change the cells to always keep them running. If the watch has stopped working, it is not a positive sign, it symbolizes delays in projects, progress and creates a hindrance.

  • Every space in the house should be kept clean, clutter-free, balanced and energized as per the related element and direction.

  • To cleanse the negative energy or vibes from outsiders in the living room burn incense/ sage herb which purifies the room which removes any energy that sticks to the walls of the house at the etheric level.

  • The living room is the perfect place to display your family pictures on the south or west wall, ideally, the southwest corner is the best place.

  • Avoid hanging ancestor’s pictures who have passed away, by displaying their pictures we create hurdles in their ascension and journey ahead from the earth plane to their final destination. Case studies have shown painful experience and emotional attachments for that person whose pictures are displayed, causing stress in the existing family members which is not understood by them.

  • Do not display pictures that are scary, or have wild animals, broken ship, modern art with a simple thumb rule that if you cannot understand or resonate with it, you should not display it.

  • Fireplace in the living room should preferably be in the South East corner as the best location, following South and Northwest directions. In case the fireplace is located in another zone we can choose not to use it to reduce its negative effects.

  • The most beneficial zones for the living/family room in East / North East / North / Northwest but that does not mean that the rooms in other directions are not good for living room placement, in that case, we can alter the decor, switch rooms, make color correction or add crystals to get balanced vibes in the house. Each direction has a special quality which can help us in receiving the benefits from it directly or indirectly.

  • Do not crowd the living room with lots of furniture and artifacts. There should be enough room for energy to move freely with the rooms should always be well lit and effectively decorated.


Effects of the living room in different direction.

  • When the living room is in North East / East / North direction, these zones promote a healthy and happy environment in the social circle, people often feel happy when they visit you. This direction helps in getting clarity on new vision and insights for new ideas related to work and projects. It also improves the career and financial opportunities with the northern family or living room.

  • North West direction living room invites a lot of guests, which might be a good option for some people and in other cases might not be an ideal option, so it depends on personal choice when it comes to this zone. Northwest is also related to healing, finances, and support from unknown resources or guides, so the location of the family room in this zone may be an alternate option depending on the personal choice of the owner.

  • West zone is another option for having a living room here because West is ruled by spiritual connection & gains from knowledge, it also represents our interest towards spirituality. Having a living room here totally depends on an individual and his theory in life.

  • The southern direction living room is not advisable as per Vedic Vastu Shastra rules since this zone is ideal for relaxation which is an ideal bedroom location zone. This room can be corrected with colors, crystal, and other healing techniques.

  • The Southeast living room is an average direction for family room. In case study, it has been observed that there are chances of having disagreements in conversation with guests at times resulting in heated arguments. It is only recommended for having the business discussion if you want to use this space to materialize the business deals it might be a good option.

  • Southwest is the last option for living room, generally, not advised as per vastu shastra guidelines. But here in US, we have multiple options for choosing the living room or family room choose the best zone when it comes to spending quality time with loved ones.
