In Indian Vastu Shastra and ancient architectural science, the windows and doors of the house are considered not only as a medium for the movement of air and light, but also as the main gateway of positive energy and life force (pranic energy). Nowadays, due to modern lifestyle, excessive use of air conditioners and to avoid dust pollution, people in most of the houses and flats have become accustomed to keeping the windows closed day and night. Vastu experts clearly say that this unknown habit of keeping the windows closed 24 hours completely disrupts the subtle energy cycle of the house. When the flow of natural air and sun rays is blocked in a house, negative vibrations start growing rapidly there, which directly impacts the financial progress, mental peace and physical health of the family members.
According to Vastu Shastra, the flow of energy inside the house should be like the flowing water of a river. Just as stagnant water starts rotting, in the same way the stagnant air and energy in closed rooms becomes stale and takes the form of negativity. The right direction, timing and way of opening and closing the windows of the house plays a central role in maintaining Vaastu balance. Therefore, if you are also making the mistake of keeping the windows of your house closed all the time, then it is very important to understand its serious side effects.
It is mentioned in Sanatan beliefs and Vaastu texts that happiness, prosperity and wealth reside in the house only when the environment there is alive and bright. By continuously keeping the windows closed, ‘tamasic energy’ starts accumulating in the house. It is believed that when the fresh rays of the sun and the sacred air of Brahma Muhurta reach every corner of the house, they drive out poverty and misfortune. When the windows are always closed, new opportunities for wealth start to stop and the accumulated wealth starts getting wasted in unnecessary diseases or wasteful expenditure.
Apart from this, keeping the north and east direction windows open is considered very auspicious for progress in business and career. North direction is considered to be the direction of Kubera, the god of wealth and east direction is the direction of Sun God and positive consciousness. If the windows of these directions are kept closed all the time, then the person does not get the full fruits of his efforts and the shadow of financial crisis constantly looms in the family.
Staying in closed rooms for a long time not only causes financial loss, but the emotional balance of the family members also starts deteriorating. According to Vastu, when old and stagnant energy remains trapped in the house, irritability, anger and unnecessary stress starts increasing among the family members. Disputes between husband and wife over small matters, children not being interested in studies and senior members of the family being restless are often the result of Vaastu defects arising from closed windows.
In the absence of natural light and open air, the home environment becomes heavy, leading to depression and negative thoughts. Opening the windows not only changes the air of the room but also refreshes the mental waves of the people living inside the house. Therefore, Vastu experts advise that the windows of the house should be fully opened for at least 1 to 2 hours in the morning to allow new energy to circulate in the house.
If we look at it from the perspective of Vaastu as well as modern health science and medical science, then keeping the house always sealed is an open invitation to diseases. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays act as natural disinfectants. When the morning sunlight falls on the beds, sofas and floors of the house through the windows, the harmful bacteria, fungus and dust mites present in the air are automatically destroyed.
On the contrary, in houses whose windows remain closed 24 hours, there is accumulation of moisture (dampness) and harmful germs. Due to this, asthma, allergies, respiratory diseases, migraine and skin related problems start spreading rapidly among the family members. Due to lack of adequate oxygen at home, the body remains tired and lazy even after waking up in the morning. In this way, closed windows not only create Vaastu defects but also spoil the health of the family.
In Vastu Shastra, it is not enough to just open the windows, but special attention is also needed on their cleanliness and condition. Dirty, dusty or broken glass blocks the positive energy of the sun from entering the house. According to Vastu, windows with dirty glass multiply the negativity and cloud a person’s decision making ability. Therefore, window glasses and frames should always be wiped clean and kept shiny and clean.
Additionally a very important aspect is the sound coming from the windows. If there is a chirping or any kind of crackling sound while opening or closing your windows, then it is considered an extremely inauspicious sign according to Vastu. This is called ‘Dhwani Vastu Dosh’, which gives rise to sudden crises and disputes in the house. The sound of such windows should be silenced by immediately adding oil or grease to the hinges of such windows.
The color and fabric of the curtains used on the windows also deeply affects the energy of the house. Many people put very heavy and dark colored curtains to give a fancy look to the rooms, which completely block the natural light and fresh air even during the day. According to Vastu, curtains of light colors like white, light yellow, light green or cream colored transparent and light fabric should be installed on the windows. Light curtains do not obstruct the easy flow of air and provide a calm and positive aura to the home.
If keeping the windows closed has become a trend in your house for a long time, then change this habit today itself. Every morning, immediately after sunrise, open the east and north facing windows, so that new light and fresh air can energize every corner of your house. This small Vastu improvement can open new doors of wealth, health and happiness and peace in your life.
