Effects of street focus in Vastu

In Vasthu, any street focus on a plot actually distrubs the
bio-electric magnetic field in and around the plot to a great
extent, either by amplyfying the imbalance in energy dynamics
or by attenuating the positive energies.
The street that runs and focuses on to any side of a plot is
called a 'spearing street'. This is also referred to as
'therukuthu' in Southern states and 'veedhi shula' in the
'Northern states. People are generally scared of this
particular phenomenon. The figure shown gives eight
directions of street/road focuses on a plot. All the
different types of street focus or 'spearing streets' do not
necessarily render bad effects as generally believed. Out of
12 possible street focuses on a plot, four street focuses on
the central portion of any side of a plot are neutral, four
are harmful and four are good. The 'veedhi shula' or street
focus, is perhaps, the most powerful of all Vaasthu
parameters, especially in fortifying the good/bad powers of
Vaasthu. Several case studies reveal that in both the good
and bad 'veedhi shulas', the Vaasthu effects are excessively
pronounced. Some of the Vaasthu properties of different
street focuses are summarised in the following table:

Street focus/directionsGood or badNature of effects
North of Northeast
( N / NE )Very goodGood for women and also for business
activities. Can ensure wealth and prosperity for
residents.
East of Northeast
( E / NE )Very goodVery good for men. Will ensure
upward mobility in life. Preferred for newspaper
offices/presses/photo studios/media industries and
residences.
South of Southeast
( S / SE )GoodWill give peace and happiness. Good for
women. Can ensure reasonable financial status for the
inmates.
East of Southeast
( E / SE )BadWill increase expenses. Can make the
inmates greedy. Accidents can occur. Ligitation and
government punishments/actions can be initiated.
North of Northwest
( N / NW )BadPromoters indiscipline. Can promote
nefarious or unlawful activities. General instability
is noted.
West of Northwest
( W / NW )GoodGood for men. Will promote owner's
business / profession. Can improve attitude and
behaviour.

of accidents, bad habits for inmates, especially women.
Can mean trouble in all spheres for inmates.
West of Southwest
( W / SW )Very badWill affect the happiness of all
inmates, especially the men. Constant quarrels,
problems and scarcity of money are observed in addition
to litigation.

Therefore while selecting the plot, one should consider
carefully, the magnetic direction in which a road, lane or
street is focussed on to the plot. As can be understood from
the table, one can choose plots which have the following
street focuses :

a) North of Northeast~~~Most preferred
b) East of Northeast~~~Most preferred
c) South of Southeast~~~Preferred
d) West of Northwest~~~Preferred

In ' veethi shulas ' we have considered only single approach
roads. But practically, we may have plots with streets or
roads on two sides or all four sides. In Vaasthu, plots with
adjascent roads in the North and West sides promote the
owner's prosperity. A site with roads on three sides is
preferred and has some unique advantages, while a plot with
roads on all foursides. is considered to be the most
auspicious. The Vaasthu effects for various locations of
roads in different directions adjascent to a plot are
tabulated below :

Adjacent RoadsEffects of Vaasthu

Among several recent researches street focus or street thrust and its effects is prominent. In the earlier period there does not appear that street thrusts was a prominent aspect of vastu shastra. However modern scholars have done extensive research on the same and unearthed several facts unknown till now.

If one wants to know the good or bad effects of the street thrusts such houses having street thrust will have to be identified and examine the exact state of residence. One has to study the residents over the years how prosperous or other wise and then draw inferences. One cannot draw any conclusions based on superficial observations alone. Lets take an example of northeast street focus. As per vastu such street focus is generally greatly beneficial to the occupants. Yet this may not be always so. (This matter is came from www.subhavaastu.com) How is it only some are prospering and some others not so? And on other hand suffering ? how is it that some or caught in unexplainable entanglements ? some utterly poor becoming very rich beyond imagination and some not so? What could be the reason for such observable variations in the end. Is it that one’s life is guided by horoscope or by the vastu of the house. There are instances where people have progressed to an exalted state and all of sudden lost every thing also ! is it fate? Should one be a victim of fate alone ? Does one have to forget the idea of progress ? There should in my opinion, indeed be a remedy for this malady.
If one has a headache mere thinking about it is not a solution. Instead a tablet would do the trick. How ever it is easier said than done in respect of the problems one faces in life. Effort of mankind is always to find solutions, for such seeming insolvable situations. Mankind, since industrial revolution, has indeed solved many unimaginable things. The situation has also become fertile to fraudulent people and cheats too. I came across an interesting situation in this regard.

Vastu shastra is a proven and a practical science. An innocent person became a victim to a fake vastu consultant. (This matter is came from www.subhavaastu.com)This happened in Nalgonda District. On the request of a Jawan of Armed forces I was studying his house in a remote corner of his district. (Incidentally Its well known that my vastu consultation to members of Armed forces is free). While I was seeing his house, he narrated a peculiar incidence in the house of one Bheema Naik (name changed), since his condition was miserable, he consulted a fake vastu scholar and sought his advice. That cheat saw a golden goose in Naik and gave him a Talisman and asked Naik to worship the same for seven days and then hang it right opposite the main entrance and do daily prayer to that, and charged a sum of two thousand rupees as initial advance and later twenty thousand rupees as fees and also feed seven scholars for seven days. (This matter is came from www.subhavaastu.com)Further he was continuously extracting money from him, thereafter too and promised that within twenty one days every thing would be resolved. Poor Naik was an easy victim. Even after several months, the problems remained as they were. Naik felt he was cheated and wanted to confront the imposter. It was too late, he could not locate him. Many of the people do not like to pay the vastu scholar his legitimate fees and fall easy victims in the end (to such fake scholars and in fact loose far more in the bargain). All this happens because of improper vastu of his own house. A genuine vastu scholar does not recommend Talismans, pooja, and the like. He looks at the house and physical environs and makes his recommendations.

No doubt fate is fatal. Yet one has to face the same and try to overcome. The one boon God gave us in this regard is Vastu. Earlier saints have written several treatises on this subject, also present scholars have contributed to this science tremendously by conducting original researches in various aspects of vastu, Their struggle in this regard has indeed been phenomenal. One street thrust brings fortune to one family and the same may not be so to another. Studying all these varying aspects and coming to logical conclusions has indeed been a great feat accomplished by the present day scholars.
We should always remember one cardinal principle. What ever be the surroundings our home should atleast be vastu compliant, for we may not be able to modify or correct external surroundings by applying remedial measures in our own house. It is however possible to mitigate some of the influences of external factors.

Such street thrusts are a part of neighbourhood vastu.

Let us examine how such street thrusts affect the residents. Where does the street gains strength to either be benevolent or malevolent ? This can only be assessed by seeing the street alone.

What is Street Focus, if one street hits to a house or factory it’s called as Street Focus, and also its called as Veedhi (Bheedhi) shoola. Whether that street is in good place or bad place but the effect is so powerful. If one house is having good street focus then the inmates of that house will be getting regular good alerts, all success, happy, health, wealth, joy, harmony, unexpected profits, sudden good happenings and etc.
In other words a street ahead of a house is said to have its effect on the house, this effect is called as street focus. The house or factory is said to have the positive or negative effects of the street focus. All street focuses do not have equal and same effects, different effects appear in different street focuses.
To be frank there are 16 street focuses in general to a house, plot, factory or any other construction. Some street focuses are giving good results to the inmates and some are exchanging bad results to the inmates. While I am in researching of street focuses, I observe so many astonishing things on these street focuses. Some street focuses are which are said to be good street focuses are giving bad results to the inmates, before I explain this things to the house owners, they said that some vastu pandits said that this street focus is very good and etc. (This matter is came from www.subhavaastu.com)Actually there is a technique in that place. The Place or house is not for 90 Degrees, that is the reason, some good street focuses are also giving bad results, any how if you observe any street focus striking your house or factory , sincerely I am suggesting you please contact one EXPERIENCED VAASTU CONSULTANT ONLY, don’t approach Quacks. If you really wants results then don’t see for fees of experienced vaastu consultant, actually the quality piece should always be costly.
Regarding street focuses care should be taken in the initial stage itself. It is always good for the house or factory owners. If neglect occurs, it will finally holds everything of yourself and crush with terrible powerful hands, not to experience the same better to don’t take own decisions and don’t approach quacks. Quacks always available for cheap rates and they attracts you with cheap price, finally they drag you for the duplicate poojas and bulk fees from you by saying all false things.
There are different kind of street focuses, good and bad, and there is also one important thing regarding street focuses is some street focuses are wide in length and short in width, these type of street focuses are also giving different results, taking one decision on street focus is not so easy, its a critical job for finding the complete, nature, phenomena,method of the street focus. Better to get a wise decision with expert, always its advisable. There are different kinds of street focuses, east, west, north, south, nairuthi (southwest), vayavya (northwest), Eshan (Northeast), Agneya(southeast) street focuses.








Easteshan (northeast towards east ) Street Focus :-
A Street Focus hits a house or factory of plot or any other construction at east Ishan (northeast towards east) side is likely to be called as Easteshan street focus. Its really amazing, in general we cannot get these type of house for purchase, because this type of houses or factory are always in a very good position, so they dont go for sale, this street focus is mixing with east Eshan and Eshan, so this street focus is having a power of east and Ishan, now we discuss about the good results of this Easteshan street focus, generally this Easteshan street cannot render bad results to the inmates of the property.

All the necessary precautions regarding the fixation and placement of roofs etc,. for the house have to be taken before go in for construction of a house. Building an improper and imperfect vaastu house and regretting after wards is not a wise act.

Here we have to take some important points to be considered as this street focus power pressurizing. If one house is having the street focus like this, the owner has to do some alterations for best good results.



All the southeast street focuses are not good, if we have to prove it as a good street focus, it means we have much knowledge on street focuses, or we have to wait for some period for getting some bad or good results of it.

When Ms. Whitehurst's parents became terminally ill, it piqued her interest in alternative medicines and holistic treatments, eventually leading her to feng shui. Ellen decided to go back to school and earned her degree in Transpersonal Psychology. After that, she left Wall Street for the world of Black Hat feng shui.

Ellen's book Make this Your Lucky Day is received by critics and is extremely popular among those wishing to learn about feng shui. She also currently guest spots on a number of nationally syndicated radio shows and is a regular contributor of feng shui tips at ivillage.com. Ms. Whitehurst kindly took the time to share her expertise with LoveToKnow.
Black Hat Feng Shui Basics
LTK: Could you please explain the basics of the Black Hat school of feng shui?
EW: The Black Hat School, founded by the spiritual leader, H.H. Grandmaster Lin Yun, is primarily practiced here in the United States and in Europe. It is an evolution of traditional practice but is much more accommodating to the Western way of thinking.
Both traditional and Black Hat schools say there are nine different life stations that sit inside all of our spaces waiting for us to trigger them with our intentions. Both schools use a bagua map of those same energies to show where and how anyone can engage them.
Some Black Hat basics involve the use of the [[Bagua Map for Each Roombagua map, which gives a general idea of where each of the nine energies are located inside any space. The map we use to determine where specific or particular energies reside in your living space is a static map and doesn't change.
The premise here is that your external environment has a definite impact on your inner self. If you're experiencing negative vibes or energies in different areas of your life, you can adjust those energies by addressing synergistic areas inside your home!
Black Hat Tips and Cures
LTK: What are some quick Black Hat tips and cures?
EW: Feng shui says that if you divide up your main floor into nine equal grids the bottom center or middle grid (bottom represented by the same wall your front door is on) is the energetic area of your living space that is associated with job or career opportunities.
This same area that is associated with your job is also associated with the water element. Any symbol or actual representation of moving water in this area will also bring a flow to your job intentions such as:
Water fountain (the feng shui gold standard)
An aquarium or fishbowl
A picture of moving water
The real deal is of course the hope, but the energies can move swimmingly simply by affixing a picture of a waterfall anywhere in this same area. Water, water everywhere and then they’ll be plenty of job opportunities to dive into!
The relationship area is located on the upper right hand grid of the bagua map. Traditional feng shui symbols believed to bring activity to these energies of love and commitment are to put in pairs here. The number two represents or symbolizes partners or the two of you.
There is a special symbol in feng shui, called the Double Happiness Symbol that, when placed in this same love and romance area can create circumstances that will allow anyone to meet their soul mate.
The area most associated with the energy of abundance, wealth sits in the upper left hand corner of your living space. Some standard feng shui cures for activating the energies of this space call for you to place some symbol or image there that speaks to those same energies. A more sort of woo woo way to invite wealth into your life is to put a lamp or light in this area and light it. The idea here is to provide an illumined path so wealth can come and find you wherever you are.
The color associated with these intentions is purple and the number is four. Place four purple flowering plants here since the symbolism of growing your money is obvious. There is also a strong belief in the power of the jade plant to bring prosperity into the household in a quick and easy manner. Jade is considered the most precious of gems in the East since it’s also believed to bestow good health and happiness. Therefore, the custom has arisen that says placing a jade plant in the wealth area will help prosperity and abundance to bloom and grow.

Shuistrology
LTK: The Shuistrology section of your website is fantastic, could expand on this concept?
EW: Shuistrology is my trademarked hybrid blend of astrology and feng shui.
We, as human beings have the power to use our intention and free will to change anything the stars have in store. That’s where Shuistrology comes in. I look at the forecast for all the astrological signs for any given month and determine if the particular horoscope looks like the energies will be fabulous or, on the other hand, if things could conceivably get a bit bumpy.
If the outlook is faboo, I offer quick fixes to enhance those great energies. If, however, the cosmic climate is a little cloudy, then I give some ideas and advice on how to overcome those energies. Shuistrology says that you are in charge regardless what’s happening in the heavens.
The Empowered Lifestyle
LTK: You speak about the "Empowered lifestyle", what are some feng shui principles people can apply to make them more empowered?
EW: The "Empowered Lifestyle" is what I call my particular brand of bringing health, happiness and prosperity into anyone's life by offering up all the advice and self-empowering info I have learned over the years. It's really just a contemporary spin put on some ages-old advice and then shared so that anyone interested can tackle their own life issues with confidence and power. That's our birthright, to be able to put ourselves on our desired path without any outside interference. The Empowered Lifestyle shows you the definitive "How To" of handling all of life’s circumstances; good, bad and the completely in your own power. After all, seriously, who can’t use a little more luck?
Ellen's Tips for the Empowered Lifestyle
Some of the principles I share with everyone in order to start becoming more empowered is first to remember the front door represents a critical space.
The Front Entrance
Called "The Mouth of Chi" this is where all the fresh and healthy energy enters your living space. One of the first empowering action steps anyone can take is to assess that area and make sure that everything there is:
Uncluttered
Clean
In good working order
Placing a red flowering plant to the left of the door as you look at it is an ancient practice and promises to invite opportunities as well as grand fortunes and good luck into your house.
Painting the door red or green portends those same powerful results while changing your outside light to a higher wattage bulb brings an electrical charge that can really light up your life. That same door should swing open without obstacles. The theory goes that if it's stuck then so will a lot of important energies your entire life.
Clutter
Clutter is a capital crime in feng shui. Everyone who is looking to empower their lives should be sure to get rid of everything that no longer represents who they are or their hopes, wishes and dreams. If you don’t love it, get rid of it. Period.
Fresh Air Equals Fresh Energy
Lastly, make sure to get as much fresh air and natural light in your space as possible. This single act enhances your own personal chi making you stronger and much more likely to believe in your own power then if you feel dark or stuffy or depressed. Lighten up. Literally. You won't believe the positive affect this can have on your entire life.
There are just a few ways that anyone can begin building their best life ever! Of course, reading my blog at [www.ellenwhitehurst.com Ellenwhitehurst.com] or grabbing a copy of Make This Your Lucky Day can take all of this a thousand steps further and bring anyone closer to their dreams than they ever believed possible. And if that ain’t lucky, well, I just don’t know what is!

Beyond Clutter


If It’s Broken Fix it
The next step after you have gotten rid of the clutter is to repair or replace anything that is broken. It’s easy to take this step beyond clutter if you make a checklist of items in need of repair.
Bathroom
Many things in the bathroom can create an energy drain and steal your money as surely as you flushed it down the toilet.
Repair dripping faucets - Leaking water means a slow but steady drain of your funds.
Leaky toilet seal – Replace the broken seal
Tank stopper – You don’t want your toilet to be running all the time. Replace with a tank stopper kit.
Always keep the toilet lid closed - An open lid means energy rushes from your home like a vacuum cleaner sucking up your resources and finances.
Replace depleted toilet paper and tissue boxes.
Replenish soap bars.
Kitchen
Many of your appliances can create chi energy drains, too. Move beyond clutter by going through your kitchen and take inventory of broken, damaged and partially functioning appliances.
Repair a broken ice maker.
Garbage disposals should work. Either repair, replace or remove.
Replace a Microwave ovens that only partially works.
Repair cooking range burners that no longer work.
Clean the oven regulary.
Throw away cracked or chipped china - Not only is it unattractive, bacteria can accumulate in the chipped away area or cracks.
Keep knives sharpened
Refill empty paper towel holders.
Replace missing utensils and silverware.
Repair or replace broken coffeemakers.

Beyond Clutter: Things You Can Do
There are several things you can do to assure the chi energy flows freely throughout your home.

Replace burned out light bulbs
Unclog stopped up or slow drains – Clogged sinks, shower, bathtub drains can stop the flow of chi and your finances.
Throw away full vacuum bags and replace with new one.
Replace broken windows.
Fix squeaky doors.
Tighten loose doorknobs.
Don’t leave brooms or mops leaning against doors - Place them inside a closet out of the way. A broom or mop creates sweeping away energy. You want good energy to enter your home and through your doorways, not to be swept away.
Don’t leave shoes at the front door - If you ask people to remove their shoes when they enter, then provide a place inside a closet to store the shoes. By leaving shoes at the front or even back door, you are allowing the energy and even shoe odor to travel with the entering chi throughout your home.
Make sure entryways and exits to your home are well-lit.
Don’t allow ice and snow to block the walkway and entranceways to your home.
Regularly paint exterior and interior of home.
Clean wall plates and fingerprints from doors and walls.
Get draperies dry-cleaned regularly - Make sure they are properly installed. If using rings with hooks keep threaded for a neat look.
Keep windows and mirrors clean.
Empty trash cans.
Other Forms of Clutter
You may not be aware that your choice of colors, patterns and designs can create a feeling of clutter. Go through your home room by room and see if the walls, floors, furniture, draperies and accessories go together. This will help you move beyond clutter.
Replace hodge-podge and mismatched pieces of furniture with new ones or have the pieces of furniture recovered - If working with a tight budget buy slipcovers.
Replace pillows with matching ones or sew new pillow slips.
Remove old wallpaper and paint walls to blend with room’s décor.
Organizing Your Home
Another way to ensure you take your feng shui techniques further, clean out drawers and cabinets and organize them for easy access.
Drawer dividers – Organizing helpers to keep utensils sorted.
Baskets – Great organizing tools for shelves, closets and bathrooms.
Storage – Purchase nice plastic tubs for long-term storage.
Closet systems – Cramped and disorganized closets created stagnant chi
Personal Feng Shui
Personal items and hygiene can improve feng shui
Clothing:
Cull clothes
Donate those that no longer fit
Repair any ripped seams
Replace broken zippers
Repair torn hems
Replace missing buttons
Shoes:
Polish
Wash sneakers
Replace worn shoes laces
Repair worn soles
Get rid of uncomfortable shoes
Toilette Articles:
Throw away old makeup and replace with new
Replace toothbrushes regularly
Clean and wash hairbrushes weekly

Bed Locations Having to Do with Feng Shui.

Feng Shui Bedrooms
Once you apply basic feng shui principles to your bedroom, you will find that the environment is peaceful, calming and fosters a restful night of sleep. If you currently find that you wake up tired, no matter how many hours of rest you get, you need to learn more about bed locations having to do with feng shui in order to get your sleep cycles back on track. To get started, here are some feng shui bedroom basics:
Clutter disrupts rest – If your bedroom is currently filled with clutter, go through and clear it out. Only keep the things that have significant meaning to you in your bedroom.
Under the bed – Clear out everything from under your bed. The mess under your bed messes up your sleep cycles.
Color – Though color by itself does not generate chi energy, certain colors are definitely stimulating. Choose a neutral wall color and add splashes of stimulating colors via decorative accessories. This way, if you later find the color too stimulating, you can easily remove it from the room.
Once you apply these basic feng shui bedroom principles, move on to the more exacting principles involving bed locations and placement.
Bed Locations Having to Do with Feng Shui Principles
One of the most important things you can do to get a more restful nights sleep is to position your bed properly. Before moving things around, first look at two very important features of bedrooms that affect the positioning: windows and doors.
Windows
Ideally, the space in front of your bedroom windows should remain clear, but that isn't always the case, especially with smaller bedrooms. Here are a few feng shui principles as they relate to bed locations and windows:
Bed positioning under the window – If you can, avoid this position. Stimulating chi energy enters your window from the outside and prevents you from getting a restful night's sleep.
Bed positioning blocking the window – Though you don't want stimulating chi to enter your bedroom while you're resting, you also don't want to block the chi flow in the room. Placing a bed in front of a window blocks chi flow and creates stagnant chi.

Doors
Just like with windows, the space in front of your bedroom doors should also remain clear. This includes closet and bathroom doors. If your must position your bed near a door, be sure that your feet aren't facing toward the door opening. Referred to as the coffin position, it represents the dead.
Another reason to position your bed as far from the doors as possible, is that chi also enters through the door. This has a stimulating affect on your body and mind at a time when you are trying to rest both.
Feng Shui Bed Locations and Auspicious Directions
Another way bed locations have to do with feng shui is the direction in which the bed is facing. The best direction, whether you use the Eight Mansions or Flying Star feng shui principles, is based on your personal kua number. First, calculate your personal kua number. Then, position your bed according to the most auspicious directions for your personal number.
Positioning your bed according to the most auspicious direction for your personal kua number affects all aspects of your life, including those that pertain to the bedroom.
Bedroom Feng Shui Influences Your Whole Life
As you can see, bed locations have plenty to do with feng shui. Where you locate your bed greatly affects all areas of your life. Here's a simple way to think of it:
Improper placement of your bed means you won't get a restful night's sleep and you wake up tired.
When you wake up tired, you don't have as much mental clarity, which affects how you work.
When your work is sloppy, you are less likely to advance in your career.
When you don't advance in your career, this affects your income.
When money disappears, this usually affects your personal relationships.
When your personal relationships are affected, then you don't get a restful nights sleep and this negative chi cycle begins all over again.

Nine Sons of Dragon King
Mythology states that the yellow dragon king had nine sons. They each were sent into the world with specific duties as protectors of the earth and its people.

Nine Dragon Sons

Dragon Symbolism
In feng shui philosophy, based upon the Chinese culture and belief system, the dragon symbolizes prosperity and abundance. The dragon (Lung) is powerful and can overcome all obstacles because it’s valiant and heroic. It’s also a great protector of the people.
The Four Dragons Myth
The story of the four dragons is one of several that explain the Chinese reverence for dragons. In ancient times the Jade Emperor ruled over the earth. The four dragons, Long Dragon, Black Dragon, Pearl Dragon, and Yellow Dragon asked the Jade Emperor to send rain to the drought-stricken world. The people were dying. The Jade Emperor agreed, yet never sent the rain so the four dragons took it upon themselves to gather water from the lakes and spray it across the heavens.
When the Jade Emperor discovered what they’d done, he had four mountains placed over the dragons so they would be trapped for all eternity. The four dragons turned themselves into rivers to flow around the mountains. The rivers became known as the Long River (Yangtze), Black Dragon (Herilongjian), the Pearl River (Zhujiang), and Yellow River (Huanghe).
The Nine Dragons
In Chinese culture, nine is the sacred number of the emperor. There are three Nine Dragon Walls in China. The most notable one in Beijing that depicts over 635 dragons.
There are nine different types of dragons that serve the world. The dragon king can change into nine different forms. Nine sons were born to the dragon king. The significance of the number nine continues throughout Chinese mythology and culture.
Horned Dragon – Giver of rain
Winged Dragon – Domain over the wind
Celestial Dragon – Protector of heavenly mansions of gods
Spirit or Spiritual Dragon – Blesses earth with rain and wind
Earth Dragon – God of lakes, rivers and seas
Dragon of Hidden Treasures or Underworld Dragon – Guardian of hidden treasures such as gems, gold and other precious metals
Coiled or Coiling Dragon – Water dweller of lakes and oceans
Yellow Dragon – Emerged from water to bestow art of writing to Emperor Fu Shi
Dragon King – God of the wind and sea and all four directions, east, west, north and south
Dragon Elements In Every Day Life
Ancient China dragons are such an intricate part of the Chinese culture that they’re found in almost every kind of artform and architecture as symbols of protection and prosperity.
