For Better Sleep, Point your Head in a New Direction
Vastu Facts
Positive magnetic energy that keeps us awake and alert comes from the north.
According to Michael Mastro, founder of the American Institute of Vastu, positive magnetic energy that keeps us awake and alert comes from the north. “Sleeping with the top of the head pointed north is as if the positively charged ends of two magnets are pointed together: they repel. Blood flow, circulation and digestion are disturbed when sleeping with your head pointed towards the north.”
Before such studies existed, according to Vastu Shastra, the Ancient Indian science of Building and Architecture, our health is affected by our orientation while sleeping. It predicted that is healthiest for us to sleep with our heads pointed East and most unhealthy for our heads to be pointed to the north. Conclusion: if your home is aligned due north, sleep with your head facing south or east. If your home isn’t aligned, sleep in the most southerly direction, e.g. southeast or southwest.
