Vastu -Sleep & Vastu. Scientific Proven Fact Of Importance Of Head Direction

Sleep – Accepted by the medical fraternity and society to be one of the major aspect for health and overall wellbeing. It is stated that two-thirds of the world’s population struggles to achieve a good night sleep. 

In this article I have attempted to cover and link recommendations by Vastu Shastra, scientific studies on the medical front along with brief link to physics

Many scriptures of Vastu Shastra recommend to sleep with head in south or east and legs facing north or west, for overall wellbeing of the body and mind. Ayurvedic texts have also prescribed the same. The Vishnu Purana also has the same recommendation.

I do check this aspect while consulting for residences and also commercial places where a person rests like hotels, spa’s, healing centres as well as ashram’s. Experientially, I have seen the benefits of sleeping as per recommendations in multiple cases.

So whats the Science behind this? Indian Medical Journals, National Informatics Centre, respected by the medical fraternity, has published a report which concludes “It can be concluded that sleeping with head in south/east direction leads to comfortable and sound (peaceful) sleep as the person aligns oneself better with Earth’s magnetic axis”  

This report has also stated the significant benefits on health, lower serum cortisol – stress hormone, lower heart rate & blood pressure when sleeping in the East/South. The details of the report are on this link http://medind.nic.in/ibl/t09/i3/iblt09i3p162.pdf.

It is a known fact that Earth has a magnetic pole stretched from north to south with the positive pole at the north and the negative pole at the south. Human body head is considered to be the north and feet south. Thus sleeping with head in the north, two positive poles are known to cause issue on the health and overall wellbeing

The most important source of electromagnetic waves on Earth is the sun. Electromagnetic waves travel from the sun to Earth across space and provide virtually all the energy that supports life on our planet. These waves are known to travel from east to the west. Thus when we are in sync with the waves it enhances our sleep and overall wellbeing

From the spiritual texts point of view, the electromagnetic wave energy coming from the east can be used to enhance our 7 main chakras, thus stating it is best to keep head towards east to activate our vital energies and consciousness that govern the physical and mental functions

Looking at the recommendations made in Vastu Shastra, Scientific studies as well as Spiritual texts on sleep directions, most of this seems to be coming on a common ground. Putting all of this together along with my experiences of over 200 plus cases of Vastu consulting, I recommend sleeping with head in the south or east direction.
