Both vaastu and feng shui consider windows as the “eyes” of the home. They need to be large enough to allow adequate amounts of light and Chi to infuse your environment and not too small leaving you feeling like a recluse. Too many windows, relative to the size of your space, are likely to make you feel too active. These can serve as a bigger problem with children, making them hyperactive.
Reducing the Chi charge through the window can be achieved by installing blinds or curtains. Windows are best if they open outwards, keep them spotlessly clean and replace all cracked panes.
Windows are best when opening outwards. If a window opens inwards make sure it doesn’t face the West, which is the direction that signifies death or ending. In that case, block negative chi with an outward facing mirror or a plant with round leaves.
Match your curtains with the seasons to freshen up yours and your mood. Use heavy fabrics for winter and lighter fabrics for summer. Choose shades of green at spring, shades of red, orange and pink at summer, white, grey and metallic colors for autumn and shades of blue in winter.
You can also utilize colours in your curtains to change colours in each room of your house, adjusting it correctly to specific energies each room should have. For example Green is a calming color ideal for living rooms. Some basic Feng shui guidelines would be :-
· Pull the curtains back during daytime to allow sunlight to lighten your house and give the area positive energy.
· Keep your curtains closed at night. Don’t leave your windows exposed into night as it might bring bad luck.
