Following are some tips to protect your homes from evil spirits. It will also help
you find peace and happiness at home. All these methods are meant to protect
the individuals / home and business places from evil spirits, evil eyes, black
magic, psychic attacks or any other type of negative forces.

Before following and applying these tips, you also need to understand the
concept of Energy Field of your Homes. It is an cosmo-magnetic energy field
around your home which is not visible to most people, but it can be instinctively
sensed or experienced by experts.

1. Guggal Dhoop:
You should offer Guggal Dhoop to each and every part of your home. The entire
team of Vaastu Purusha, consisting of Dwar Pal (Protector of Doors), Kshetra Pal
(Protector of Regions), Dik Pal (Protector of Directions), regains energy by this
Dhoop, says Ganesha.

Key Benefits: It removes environmental stress.

2. Spray Salty Water:

Ganesha suggests that you should spray salty water in each and every area of
your home, on a regular basis. The salt absorbs all negative vibrations from air.
This remedy can be performed twice a week.

However, you must wash your hands after using this Salty Spray.

Key Benefits: It performs a thorough cleansing process, and purifies your home
environment.
3. Worship Lord Rudra:
According to me, the best and the most powerful technique of defense is
mentioned in Atharva Veda, Hymn 27, Book II.

God Rudra is called "the Lord of Healing" and Protector; In Atharva Veda, Hymn
90, Book VI., he is asked to cure evil and poisonous forces and in Hymn 57, Book
VI., to cure a wound (physical, emotional and psychic).

Hence, worshiping Lord Rudra, the ultimate benefactor, can surely help you get
protection against all evil forces.

Key Benefits: It helps open Karmic Doors and removes Karmic Obstacles.
4. Healing with Mantras:
A mantra is a tremendous force of positive energy.
According to the science of Mantra, the armors (kavach)
of different deities are...Lakshmi Kavach, Durga kavach,
Shiva Kavach, Ram Kavach, Hanumat kavach
etc....which should be recited by each and every family
member of a family at the designated Pooja Room in the
home.

Key Benefits: It empowers and regenerates powerful

and positive forces.

5. Healing through Visualization: Generally, the

following techniques should be visualized between your
eye brows (Third Eye Chakra).
Brahman Sthan (Center Point) and North East areas
of your homes are considered as the energy generators.
Sit quietly in a comfortable position, allowing your
breathing to settle into a deep, slow rhythm.
Imagine your home's outer surface is surrounded by a
blue circle.
Think about your Guru, Spiritual Angels or God.
Let yourself visualize each and every area of your
home.
Imagine your family members sitting, standing or
perhaps performing their tasks.
The words you speak or visualize will spread in the
environment of your home. Hence, Ganesha suggests
that you always speak positives words and think
positive thoughts when you are at home.

You can use following affirmations while visualizing the

protection technique -

My home is divinely safe and we feel protected.

We are always guided, guarded, and protected by
 positive, sage and benign forces.
My home is divinely protected against evil forces.
My family members are blessed and highly favored by
our God.
I am divinely protected, guided, and strengthened.

Nowadays, implementations of Vaastu principles are not

so easy, due to the limitations of ready-made
constructions of homes and offices. It is very
complicated to adjust number of flats / offices in one
complex, location of lifts, its common walls for adjacent
flats, and angular distance of relevant main doors. But,
if one follows meticulously the principles of Vaastu while
selecting the plot/ house and construction of building,
then satisfactory results can be obtained in majority of
cases. However, if that's not possible, follow the
aforementioned remedies to get good results.

What Daily Meditation Can Do for Your Creativity

by Mark McGuinness
If you depend on your creativity for your living, then your most valuable piece of equipment is not your computer, smartphone, camera, or any
other hi-tech gadget. "In a modern company 70 to 80 percent of what people do is now done by way of their intellects. The critical means of
production is small, gray, and weighs around 1.3 kilograms. It is the human brain."*So what are you doing to maintain this precious resource? You
probably give it plenty of stimulation books, movies, music, nights out, interesting conversations with offbeat people.

But Im not talking about stimulation, quite the reverse. Im talking about qualities such as focus, calmness, clarity, and insight. They may not
sound so sexy, but they are at least as important to your creative process as the glamour and stimulation side of things. And amid the bustle of
daily life and the chatter of social media, they are the qualities most easily lost.

What works for me is daily meditation. Every morning, before I start work, I spend 20 minutes sitting on a mat, focusing on the sensation of
breathing, doing my best to be present and aware, and trying not to get tangled up in my thoughts. It makes all the difference for the rest of the
day. And Im convinced it makes me a better writer.

Qualities such as focus, calmness, clarity, and insight are as important to your creative process as glamour and stimulation.

I received my initial instruction in meditation from Buddhist monks. Ive also been on a few meditation retreats, which I highly recommend. But you
dont need to disappear into a monastery to take up meditation. And you dont need to be a Buddhist, or adopt any religious beliefs. You can do it
right here in the middle of your daily life.

The Benefits of Meditation Practice for Creatives

Its important to note that theres a lot more to meditation practice than simply boosting your creativity. If I were to promote meditation as some
kind of creative thinking technique, the monks would be rightly appalled or amused. So the benefits Im going to describe, while very real, are
really side effects of meditation if you approach meditation looking to get any of these things, youll probably be disappointed. On the other
hand, if you just practice it for its own sake, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover yourself experiencing some or all of the following:

Focus. Concentration is essential to outstanding creative execution and performance. The simple act of focusing on your breathing day after day,
will gradually improve your powers of concentration.

Patience. Meditation can be incredibly boring. For once in your life, youre not trying to do anything or think anything, just sit there and pay
attention to your immediate experience. And you will encounter all kinds of resistance to doing it. Zen priest Steve Hagen says, If you can get
past resistance to meditation, nothing else in life will be an obstacle.

Calmness. At first, youll be surprised, maybe even horrified, to discover how busy your mind is a non-stop stream of mental chatter. But if you
stay with it, you should gradually find that your mind settles down as the months go by.
 Clarity. Like calmness, this can be gradual and intermittent to begin with. But you are likely to notice moments and even periods of mental clarity,
when you see things clearly and your mind is sharper than usual which makes problem-solving and decision-making easier.

Insight. Youve probably had the experience of suddenly realizing the solution to a problem, even though you havent been consciously thinking of
it. Or you may have experienced a moment of inspiration, when a new idea flashes into your mind unbidden. If youre practicing meditation
regularly, expect this to happen more often.

Perspective. When you spend time just being present and observing your breath, thoughts, feelings, and moment-to-moment experience, you
start to realize how trivial most of our daily worries really are. Even in the midst of the daily grind, you can let go of the small stuff, and keep the big
picture in view.

Getting Started

The kind of meditation I practice is a mixture of concentration (Samatha) and insight (Vipassana). Samatha practice is simply about focusing on
your breathing, in order to develop concentration and calmness. Its the best place to start, given how busy and unfocused our minds typically are.
Vipassana is so simple it almost sounds like doing nothing at all its about being very aware and present to your immediate experience, noticing
your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the sounds and sights around you.

To learn how to get started, read the Introduction to Insight Meditation by the monks at Amaravati monastery. I also recommend Steve Hagens
book Meditation Now or Never.
