A kitchen that motivates you to cook

The kitchen is the place where the meals are created–it fuels the bodies, minds, and souls of family and guests. According to Vastu Shastra, the health and prosperity of the family highly depend upon the kitchen arrangement. More the pleasant, welcoming, and efficient your kitchen, the healthier & prosperous you are.  It is popularly known as a hub of the home.  It is a bonding space that ties your home together with a loved one. 

A  positive space helps a person to cook tirelessly in preparing delicious and nutritious meals. Energetically it governs abundance and well-being since it is where we are nourished both physically and emotionally. Many people believe that cooking is a holy activity, analogous to delivering an offering of love—and making the kitchen a sort of temple. Kitchens can be very inspiring. A well-organized kitchen is a happy place that makes you want to spend time there, and in turn, encourages cooking.

Vastu case study

A highly qualified lady called  Team Vastuplus a few months ago for a Vastu Audit of her house. She has been facing a relationship problem for the last year. A problem arose soon after the family moved to a new place. Upon request, we have made a complete analysis of her house. Our Vastu analysis revealed that kitchen arrangement was responsible for stress in the house.

Both the prime Vastu element i.e. fire as well as water were very close to each other. There was hardly a distance of one foot between the fire and the water source. Fighting energy was active in the kitchen due to the closeness of the sink and stove. They were causing family members to have disagreements. It was generating tremendous stress. Sadly she has spent a huge amount on the house interior including a kitchen.

• Install the Vastu partition so as to cut off the clashing energy.
• Keep sink area dry most of the time when not in active use.
• Keep herbal plants in the kitchen window to generate healthy positive energy.
