When I first walked into the Sharma family’s home in Bangalore, there was a kind of silence that felt heavy
Rajiv Sharma, the head of the family, ran a business. But he’d stopped showing up for it the way he used to. Most days, he kept to himself, barely speaking to his wife or daughters. He didn’t look angry. Just… unmotivated and sad
His wife, Sunita, was struggling with her health– much of it from feeling unsupported and drained. Their children had potential, but none were thriving. The eldest was sitting at home, unsure of what to do next.
Their main entrance was partially in the northwest, a direction that, when imbalanced, can lead to passivity — people start relying on others or luck instead of taking initiative. It often affects both finances and mental clarity.
The stove was placed in the west, which isn’t ideal for them in this case. More concerning was the washing machine placement that disturbed the wellbeing of the women in the house — and in Sunita’s case, it was showing.
I made a few vastu recommendations: we temporarily corrected the entrance, moved the washing machine, and placed two symbolic figurines in targeted areas of their home — not just as decor, but as subconscious triggers to shift the family’s mindset around opportunity, clarity, and action.
About two weeks later, Rajiv called.
There was a change, he said. He was feeling more present, more active in his work. A few new business leads had come in — and this time, they looked promising.
Sunita said her joint pain was slightly more manageable. But more than that, she felt less anxious. The house didn’t feel as tense.
The eldest daughter had finally decided to start something of her own. A small step, but an important one. And their son had started taking interest in a course.
Something had shifted. They could sense it. Once an obstacle, the house was now opening new doors for them.
