What truly makes a house a home is the warmth and comfort that you bring into it. The walls and the roofs do not make your home; it is the energy, care, and personal touches that add to the charm of your home. With a few simple, mindful changes, you can invite harmony, positive energy, and well-being into every corner of your living space.

By mindfully aligning your space with positive energy, you can turn your home into a sanctuary that supports your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. According to Astroarchitect Neeta Sinha, "a home breathes through doors and windows, and letting in some fresh air and sunlight keeps your space vibrant and alive". She tells Moneycontrol, “Avoid keeping heavy curtains drawn all day; open windows or sheer curtains let light and life flow freely, creating a cheerful and energised atmosphere.”

Keep your home clutter-free: Clutter not only makes a home look messy but can block the flow of positive energy. “A clutter-free space allows harmony to enter and encourages progress,” explains Sinha. She shares how simple touches, like a bright flower arrangement in a white room, can instantly lift the vibe:

• Identify areas that tend to collect clutter and clean them regularly
• Use yellow accents in stagnant corners to energise and uplift the space
• Keep everyday items organised to maintain a calm, welcoming environment

Keep the spirituality alive: A spiritually balanced home nurtures the mind and soul. Neeta suggests small daily habits to keep energy positive:

• Light lamps or dhoop sticks in the morning and evening
• Make pooja a regular practice and ring bells during rituals
• Add a small water feature to attract prosperity and growth

“These little routines purify your home and fill it with tranquillity,” she says.

Learn the art of placing mirrors mindfully: Mirrors have long been used to reflect energy, but placement matters. Cover or avoid mirrors if unsure. “You can sleep facing a mirror. But choosing the right wall is essential to maintain harmony,” explains Neeta.  Thoughtful positioning helps maintain balance and prevents restlessness.

Healing through colour and balance: Colour can influence energy and well-being. For someone recovering from illness, introducing orange or yellow shades can uplift spirits and support healing. “Even something as simple as a yellow bedsheet can make a noticeable difference. And if a toilet occupies the northeast corner of your home, don’t worry; small adjustments can restore balance and positivity. When you begin to see your home as a living extension of yourself. Every small act, clearing clutter, inviting sunlight, or lighting a lamp, is an act of self-care,” says Sinha.
