Vastu Shastra is not limited to the direction of construction for a house or temple, but it is also deeply related to our small, everyday habits. Even a simple action like drying clothes, if done in the wrong direction, can promote negative energy in the house.
When we dry wet clothes, they release moisture, and this moisture affects the energy present in the air. If clothes dry in the wrong direction, this energy can contaminate the atmosphere of the house.
Why should clothes not be dried in the wrong direction
According to Vastu Shastra, the South-West direction is considered very sensitive and inauspicious for drying clothes. This direction is associated with the head of the house and stability. Drying clothes in this direction can increase the mental stress of the head of the house. Due to this, the decision-making ability can be affected, and there can also be obstacles in financial decisions. Drying clothes in this direction can also weaken the confidence of the household head.
Which is the right and auspicious direction to dry clothes
According to Vastu experts, the North-West direction is considered the best for drying clothes. This direction is associated with the air element, due to which clothes dry quickly, and no stagnant energy is formed in the house. Apart from this, the East direction is also considered positive, especially in the morning. The rays of the sun dry the clothes quickly and also eliminate the germs present in them. The North direction is also good for drying clothes, but keep in mind that you should not hang clothes too much in this direction.
What things should be avoided
According to Vastu, it is very important to avoid some mistakes while drying clothes, as they can bring negativity into the house. Do not dry clothes near the main door. This prevents the flow of positive energy coming into the house. Drying clothes right in front of the Puja Room is considered forbidden, as it affects the sanctity of the place of worship. Avoid hanging clothes on the kitchen window, as it can affect the food energy.
Clothes drying habits and peace in the home
According to Vastu, anything that is hung affects the air and energy. If the clothes are dirty or are left hanging to dry for a long time, it can create “stagnant” energy in the home. This stagnant energy promotes mental unrest and physical exhaustion. Therefore, always keep clothes neat and remove them immediately after drying.
