Broken clocks, mirrors facing the bed easily create feelings of insecurity
Many people diligently clean their houses, plant more trees or burn essential oils with the desire for a more relaxed living space. However, according to ancient Indian architectural beliefs, the arrangement of familiar items in the house can also affect mood and daily living feelings.
One of the items often overlooked is a wall clock. According to this concept, clocks symbolize movement and the flow of time, so they are often recommended to be hung in the north or east direction to create a feeling of smooth and favorable flow.
Conversely, broken watches, dead batteries or running at the wrong time are said to easily make the living space heavy and lifeless.
According to Ms. Deepannita Das - working at the lifestyle website BoldSky (India) - many people often do not pay attention to the psychological impact of old and broken items in the house. A clock stopping or always running at the wrong time can make people easily feel slow and sluggish in daily life. In addition, mirrors placed opposite the bed are also considered an inappropriate arrangement, seeing reflections when sleeping easily creates feelings of insecurity, not sleeping deeply or difficulty relaxing.
If you cannot move the mirror, the homeowner can use curtains or towels to cover it in the evening to create a more comfortable feeling when resting.
Keep the entrance and kitchen corners tidy
The main door area is also considered an important place in the house. Leaving shoes piled up in front of the door not only causes unsightliness but also makes the walkway cramped and stuffy. A clean, airy entrance often helps the house create a more comfortable and brighter feeling right from the moment you step in.
Outside the main door, the northeast corner of the kitchen is also advised to keep clean. According to folk beliefs, leaving garbage, dirty goods or messy items in this area easily makes the living space become stuffy and lacks relaxation.
Although concepts of feng shui or ancient architecture have not been fully proven by modern science, keeping the house tidy, clean and arranged reasonably can help improve mood and quality of life.
Sometimes, just a small change such as cleaning the kitchen corner, replacing the clock battery, or clearing the entrance is enough to make the house lighter and more comfortable.
