The Ultimate Vastu Guide for Every Indian Home: Sleep Direction, Main Entrance & Kitchen Placement

(By Vasundhara Vastu – Bringing balance, harmony & positivity to your home)

Vastu Shastra is beyond arranging furniture or selecting a direction. It is about developing a space that feels peaceful for your mind, healthy for your body, and connected for your family. Even today – most Indian families are aiming to work with Vastu in some way or another when buying a home or even designing a home, because people can consciously feel the difference when the space is in a state of balance.

Three of the most important Vastu factors that directly affect your daily life are:

1. The direction you sleep
2. The direction of your home entrance
3. The placement of your kitchen

In the following in-depth guide, we will delineate each of these in elementary parlance to facilitate your application at home. This article is designed for an Indian audience, based on practical experience and the holistic approach ingrained in Vasundhara Vastu. 

 

1. Which Direction to Sleep as per Vastu?

Most people don’t recognise the effect of sleep direction on their physical and mental health. You could have the most comfortable bed, but if you sleep in the wrong direction, your energy, mood, and clarity will be disturbed.

✔ Best Direction to Sleep: South (Head towards South)

According to Vastu, the ideal sleeping position is:

• Head towards South
• Feet towards North

This aligns your body with Earth’s magnetic field, which runs from north to south.
When your head faces south:

• Your sleep becomes deeper
• Stress levels reduce
• Heart health improves
• Morning tiredness reduces
• Mind becomes calmer

Indian traditions have followed this for centuries.

✔ Second Best Direction: East (Head towards East)

If sleeping south is not possible, sleep with:

• Head towards East

Benefits:

• Better memory
• Mental clarity
• Good for students
• Good for professionals who need focus

❌ Avoid Sleeping with Head Towards North

Sleeping with your head in the north direction creates magnetic conflict, which may cause:

• Headaches
• Disturbed sleep
• Anxiety
• Weak concentration
• Waking up tired

❌ Avoid Sleeping with Head Towards West

West is not as harmful as north, but it may cause:

• Restlessness
• Delayed decisions
• Overthinking
• Lack of goal clarity

 

Vasundhara Vastu Expert Tip:

If your bedroom direction cannot change, Vastu corrections like energy balancing, color adjustment, or layout re-alignment can solve the issue without breaking or remodeling the room.

 

2. How to Check Vastu for Home Entrance

The energy of your home comes through the “main entrance.”

 It is the first point of entry for positivity, opportunities, relationships, prosperity – even if you have everything else right in your home, your overall life energy may still be disturbed with a weak entrance.

Here is a simple step-by-step way to check your entrance Vastu.

 

Step 1: Use a Compass to Identify the Exact Direction

Stand outside your main door, facing towards the house, and hold a compass.

The direction that the compass shows is the entrance direction.

The most common directions are:

• East
• North
• North-East
• South-East
• West
• South
• South-West
• North-West

 

Step 2: Best Entrance Directions as per Vastu

✔ Most Positive Directions:

• East – Brings sunlight, energy, growth
• North – Brings opportunities, wealth
• North-East – Brings peace, calmness, spirituality

These three are considered the most auspicious for home entrances.

 

Step 3: Acceptable Directions

• North-West – Good for social connections
• South-East – Acceptable with corrections

 

Step 4: Directions to Avoid (If Possible)

• South-West entrance – Causes stress, financial instability, disputes
• South entrance – Creates health concerns and emotional imbalance
• West entrance – Acceptable only with Vastu remedies

If your entrance falls here, don’t panic. Experts like Vasundhara Vastu provide exact, non-demolition solutions using:

• Element balancing
• Pyramids
• Mirrors
• Color corrections
• Energy grids
• Brass/metal remedies

 

Step 5: Check the Entrance Quality

Even if the direction is good, check these factors:

✔ Entrance should be well-lit

A dark entrance blocks positive energy.

✔ No clutter or dustbins near the door

Cleanliness enhances energy flow.

✔ Door should open fully without obstruction

Partial opening blocks opportunities in life.

✔ No bathroom facing the main door

This drains financial energy.

✔ No broken tile, damaged nameplate, or loose screws

These attract disturbance or instability.

A clean, well-maintained entrance naturally brings peace and prosperity.

 

3. Where Should the Kitchen Be as per Vastu?

The kitchen is the “fire centre” of your home.
It represents energy, nourishment, health, digestion, motivation, and relationships.

Placing it correctly can improve:

• Family harmony
• Health
• Financial stability
• Mental strength
• Eating patterns
• Mood

✔ Best Kitchen Direction: South-East (Agni Corner)

South-East is the natural direction of fire.

Benefits:

• Better digestion
• Better mood
• Better energy flow
• Reduced stress in family
• Healthy eating habits
• Stronger relationships

Stove should face East while cooking.

 

✔ Second Best Direction: North-West

If South-East is not possible, North-West works well.

Perfect for:

• Apartments
• Modern compact homes
• Families needing harmony

 

❌ Directions to Avoid for Kitchen

1. North-East kitchen

This is the worst placement. It may cause:

• Arguments
• Health trouble
• Anxiety
• Slow financial growth
• Confusion

2. South-West kitchen

May cause:

• Instability
• Financial stress
• Conflicts
• Heavy energy

3. North kitchen

May affect:

But all of these are correctable without breaking.
