A kitchen is the most revered place of your house because that is where all your nourishment is cooked and the "Kitchen Gods" are worshipped. Even in terms of importance, the kitchen is undoubtedly the most important area of any house because it represents the element of fire, which is known to enhance the energy force that activates wealth. In Chinese culture, the kitchen is also considered to be an area with the maximum amount of energy. The reason why the energy of this region is given so much importance in Feng Shui is because food is prepared here, and when we consume it, we ingest that energy through our meals.

It is a widely known fact that food will pick up the vibrations of the place where it was grown, kept, sold, cooked and also the energy of the person who prepared the meal. So, it is important to have positive energies surrounding your kitchen, or else your food may pick up negative vibrations. Negative vibrations in a kitchen can arise from a number of factors some of which are dirty, cluttered kitchens, as well as a frustrated and angry cooks. Food that is affected by negative vibrations is considered spiritually and energetically deficient.

According to Feng Shui, the kitchen should symbolize how we nurture ourselves and from this perspective, it gives food the importance it deserves to get the positive energy or "chi" in our bodies. This positive energy, in turn, helps us draw people, places and things towards us which can help us to create a fulfilling and prosperous life. Look into your kitchen today and rid it of its negative vibrations, if any, to heal yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially.

Healing through Reiki was always a very effective and well known method and of late it has become very popular too. The latest benefit of Reiki people are waking up to is home healing. Yes, you heard it right Reiki can also be used to heal and bring in positive energies to your home. It so happens that each house contains the energy of its previous occupants and this can affect how the present occupants of the house feel. This left behind energy, also known as etheric energy, could be left behind by any of the previous occupants, not necessarily the last occupant. This energy is generally absorbed into the walls and a sensitive person can feel influenced by these vibrations. No matter how lavish your home décor, these unwanted energies can lead to mental distress, anger, depression, moodiness, fatigue and even physical disease, in some extreme cases.

Thus, it is important to have these previous energies removed from the house and perform a house blessing ceremony to get rid of the negative vibrations. Generally, negative energy is held up in dirty corners, clutter and old possessions, so it is best to throw away all clutter and clean the house from top to bottom. This will help in attracting fresh energy to your house but this might not be enough sometimes. So, it is important to energetically cleanse the house and Reiki can be successfully used for this purpose. You will need to take the help of a Reiki Master to cleanse and heal the energy of your house.

The Reiki Master not only helps in cleansing your house but can also perform a Blessing Ceremony for you. Here, they can call on the elements of Earth, Fire, Air and Water to bless the house with peace, abundance and happiness.

A child's room is the most important corner for their parents and one area of the house done up with the utmost care and love. While you pay maximum attention to safety and comfort, some of you might overlook incorporating some very important Vaastu tips for the well-being of your child. It is best to employ and follow these Vaastu guidelines to help your child benefit from the positive vibes created by these simple tips.

Firstly, be careful with choosing the direction of your child's room and try and choose the most auspicious corner, which is the western corner of the house. If it is not possible to make the western corner your child's bedroom, you can also settle for the northwest, northeast and southeast corners but make sure to avoid the southwest direction. Once the room has been finalized, ensure that you place the bed in such a way that your child has their head facing the east or south direction while sleeping.

A few important things to keep in mind for your child's room are to make sure that you do not place the mirror on the opposite side of the bed. You should also not place the furniture attached to the wall in your child's room, as this obstructs the flow of positive energy.

The centre of the room should always be empty and you should not place anything there. The study desk is one of the most important components of a child's room, so take care to place it in the most desired direction for the benefit of your children. Make sure you place it in such a way that the child faces the east while studying, as it is the most appropriate corner for increased concentration.

Last, but not the least, do not place a television and objects with sharp edges in your child's room and if possible, have the room painted in a soothing green shade. A shade of green proves to be beneficial for your child's room as it brings in a feeling of freshness and peace, and is known to enhance the power of the brain.
