Bedroom in Vastu
Vastu places the master bedroom in the south-west, children’s rooms in the west or north-west and guest rooms in the north-west. Sleeping with the head to the south is most recommended; the head to the north is avoided.
The bedroom is for rest and stability, so Vastu gives the master bedroom to the heavy, grounded south-west, the room for the head of the household. The south and west are good alternatives. The light north-east, the fiery south-east and the centre of the home are avoided for the main bedroom.
Children’s rooms suit the west or north-west, zones of growth and movement, with study desks set so the child faces east or north. Guest rooms suit the north-west, the zone of comings and goings.
Place the bed so that you sleep with your head towards the south, or else the east or west; tradition advises against sleeping with the head to the north. Avoid a mirror facing the bed, a beam above it and electronics close by, and choose calm, earthy colours.
It is easy to assume the sacred north-east is the best room for everything, including sleep. Vastu keeps that corner light, for prayer and study, and gives the anchoring south-west to the people who hold the household together.
