It is concluded that when the pull between two small magnets has been proved so effective in curing migraine, chronic headache, joint pains, high blood pressure and many chronic diseases, then what about the permanent magnetic pull between North and South pole in which we are constantly living, breathing, walking, sleeping, working right from our birth?

If you take a magnet and suspend it freely with the support of a thread in the air, you always find its two ends facing North and South. The reason is simple. It is magnetic field is between two poles, which is constantly pulling the two ends of the magnet towards North and South. But we can not see this magnetic field. It exists in the atmosphere the way that oxygen does. And this magnetic field is equally important for our healthy survival, the way oxygen or the "The Prana Vayu" is. Invisible magnetic waves are constantly flowing from North to South and maintain a positive field of energy around us in the environment. Vedic sages tell us that North is the abode of Soma Devata. One of the important meaning of Soma is also Amrita, which sustains and gives life. 

For millions of years the genetic structure or the basic cell structure of the living being on this planet has been programmed with the cosmic movement. This results from the rotation of Earth on its axis and around the Sun, which makes the whole zodiac appear rising from the East. Therefore we have an in built anticipation which expects the Sun, Moon and stars to rise from the east. Every day Sun rises from East and every year passes through twelve signs oscillating between tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Different seasons are created in this way. The energy of the Sun like the path of the Sun, flows from East to West. 

Vedic sages told us that the direction where East meets the North is Ishana. Exact verbal translation of Ishana is not possible but closest it means Divine. And how true. This is the direction from where the divine energy flows and flows. Other meeting points of the directions are:

Agneya or the corner of Fire which is South East 
Nairitya or the corner of death and demons which is South West 
Vayavya or the corner of the Winds which is North West 

A property is not a meager structure of cement, steel and woods .The Vedic idea is that the whole universe has been created from five basic elements, which are known as 'Panch Mahabhutas’ of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. In the human body, the proportionate balance of these five elements (dynamically related to three Doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha) assures good health, in the same way harmonious balance of these five elements in a property assures good health of the property and people who are living or working there.

The land is the most important factor before starting a new construction project. Today with all the modern gadgets for soil testing available, it has become very easy to ascertain the grip and binding quality of the soil. Vedic Sages told a few simple procedures to test the soil. They said that before procuring a piece of land for construction some tests should be performed;

1. Dig a pit of approximately 50 cms X 50 cms X 50 cms. Refill it with the removed soil. If the soil still remains after leveling the pit, the land should be considered very good for prosperity and happiness, if the soil is just enough to fill and level the pit, the land should still be considered good but not very good for prosperity, and in case the soil fall short of filling and levelling the pit, the land should not be purchased or acquired as it would bring losses to the owner.

2. Dig another pit of the same dimensions and fill it with water. Walk 100 steps away from it taking normal steps and come back. If the level of the water is the same or has receded very marginally, land should be considered excellent for prosperity and growth, if the level of the water is still about three fourth, the land should be considered normally good but not very good and can still be procured, but in case the water level has receded around half, the land should never be procured for any purpose as it would bring losses and mental agony to the buyer.

NOTE:The objects and things, recovered during these diggings should be carefully examined. Stone pebble, shining stones, piece of a metal, snake skin or a live snake are very auspicious indications, where as pieces of bones, termites, pieces of torn cloth are bad omens.

a) Size and shape of the land: A perfectly square plot with all the four corners at 90° is considered very good. Rectangular shaped land with more depth is also good. Plots with more width than depth should at best be avoided. Round shape or odd shape plots should be purchased with caution.

b) Corners of the Land: Plots with more than four corners should only be purchased after corrections. As stated earlier, all the four corners of the land at 90° are appreciated. The angle of North East and South West corners should not be more than South East and North West angles.. 

c) Orientation of the Land: Floor level of the land should be properly balanced and corrected before constructing a property on it. The properties which are lower in the South can cause difficulties for the owner.

The Vaastu Shastra principal is that the level of the land should be lower in North or North East and higher in South or South West. There should be no projection or tall buildings or elevation of ground in North or North East. Open area and low level of ground is more suitable in this direction.

Directions - Low level - High level
East - good - bad 
South - restricted growth - good for prosperity
South West - ill health - fame and prosperity
West - ill health & losses prosperity
North West -bad if lower than N.E., good if higher than NE, good if lower to SW/SE, bad if higher than SW
North - good - bad effects
North East - good - many problems

a) Vidhi Shoola : When a plot or lot is just opposite a T junction and a approaching road is meeting it at the center, it is known as Vidhi Shoola. Property with such a flaw should best be avoided.

b) Sherdah land: Property which is wide at the front and narrow at the back may bring losses, mental agonies to the buyer.

c) Entrance : Vaastu principles are specific to each individual based upon the astrological chart and not general as many people believe and propagate but land with main entry point facing exactly South West (Nairutya) should at best be avoided. 

d) Brahma Sthana: The center point of a plot or lot is known as the Brahma Sthana. This is the heart of the property. It should be open and evenly leveled. 

2. Water: The source of water, sewage system and water disposal management should be examined according to Vaastu Shastra principles before moving into a property. Wrong position of underground or overhead water tanks, toilets, swimming pools may sometime be very bad for health and prosperity. In a north facing house, a low level swimming pool in the south may not be good for the health.

3. Fire: Fire element represents energy in a property. The energy which is required for cooking, heating, lighting etc. In an industrial property, the furnace or the area where maximum energy is consumed for production such as electric room, power generating room is the fire point. A pantry in a hotel is the fire point. The fire point should be in fiery corner, which is the south eastern part of the property. In a house kitchen is the vital energy point. Kitchen in the south west part does not convert food into energy and it may reflect on the health of family members.

Furnace: Any type of furnace should be planned either in the South Eastern or North Western part of the production unit. Furnace in North or North East part may cause losses, breakdowns and other similar problems. Boilers, Geysers, Owens, Power Generating or Electric rooms, Transformers should also be planned in either South Eastern or North Western part.

Kitchen: The kitchen in the house is an very important area, where the lady of the house has to spend substantial time of her life. In India, it is very normal for a lady to spent somewhere between 4-6 hours every day in the kitchen. So the planning of the kitchen should be done as per the Vaastu Shastra principles. The kitchen should be in the Agneya Kona or the corner of fire (South East) and at the time of cooking the lady of the house should face North or North East. Other option is North West part.

4. Air: Free flow of air or proper ventilation is very important for any property. Air flows through doors, ventilators and windows. More windows should be open in the corner of winds, which is the North West. Doors should swing open inside the house or rooms and not the other way.


5. Space: The open area is significant for energizing effects of subtle celestial vibrations which should flow freely and reach us in an uninterrupted way. In all the traditional houses in India, always a big space known as chowk (central courtyard) was left in the center of the house, where all the family members can walk in freely. Today it is not possible as the place available per person is shrinking every day. North and north east part of a property should have more space .

a. More space should be left open on North, East or North Eastern part.
b. North Eastern part of the residential unit should always be free of any heavy storages, high projections and tall trees, which may obstruct flow of positive energies from this direction.
c. South Western part of a residential unit should be elevated and open space in this direction should always be less than the space in the North Eastern direction. 
d. If there is more space in the S.W. direction and little space in N.E. , than it should be balanced, otherwise it may cause health problems and frustrations to the residents, living in there.
e. If Northern or Eastern or North Eastern part is blocked or obstructed, it should be opened up and given more space and extension.
