Vastu Tips – The Right Direction for your Head for Sleeping
The Earth has a magnetic field and its lines of force flow over ground from North to South direction. Our body too has an electromagnetic field of its own. During the waking hours we are not aligned in a particular direction for long time but during the sleep hours we remain almost in a single direction on the bed.
It is wrong to suggest for all a particular direction for keeping one’s head during sleep. Each person has a unique configuration as regard to nature viz. his or her basic vibration so one has to discover the right direction which suits an individual.
Sleep with your head in one direction say north for a week and observe how you feel. Then for the next week keep your head in the east and so on. The direction which suits you viz. by sleeping in that direction you feel better in life is the ideal direction for you so for the rest of your life stick to that direction.
