West of North-West (WNW) – Depression and Low Moods

West of North West (WNW) - Depression and Low Moods 

In Vastu shastra the zone between west and North-West is the zone of detoxification or weeping. It has been mentioned in vastu shastra  that West-North-West zone should be used for making a room for weeping (kop Bhavan) in a palace. 

Now, you have to understand it deeply, because like the zone of disposal, this is of equivalent importance. The activity of disposal is related to the Physical body (Annmaya Kosha) while weeping (detoxification) is more attached to the Mind body (Manomaya Kosha). The energy of this zone provides natural detoxification (weeping).

People cry in two situations - one, when they feel helpless; secondly, when they are overwhelmed with joy. When we analyse this, we realize that there is an intelligence or a consciousness which governs the entire system of the body. This body-intelligence maintains a balance in the body. 

When we feel depressed and think the world has nothing good to offer, at that time lest the consciousness should move towards spoiling the life, this body-intelligence release an emotional fatigue and, as a result, we feel like crying and when we cry we also release the depression.

If we feel the opposite of it, then, we are too emotional - a feeling of ‘I have achieved the world and there’s nothing more I want’-and then, we cry again to release the emotional exaggeration. This process of crying is actually a process of mental detoxification.

Crying carries out that emotional detoxification process; it helps in releasing mental suffocation, which is important for the mind’s balance. If there is a bathroom and toilet in this zone, we release the waste from our body, and take both for freshness: both these activities will naturally release emotional fatigue.

The entire day, we carry emotional stress in our minds. This cannot be released when we wish to (due to social etiquette or other reasons). This stress often surfaces when we sleep, at night, when we review the day and pass judgement upon it.

As consciousness is drifting towards the lower brain frequency - as we drift towards sleep, there is an automatic release of these thoughts. If this zone is disturbed, eg., due to the presence of an anti-activity which blocks this zone, the process of detoxification does not take place. The ‘molecules of suffocation’ get stored in the inner mind.

This stored pain spreads in our lives and causes more disturbance and imbalance. People residing in such a space are unhappy and feel greatly suffocated. They do not enjoy life and feel weepy and miserable. The reason is that the mind is unable to release its blockages and fatigue. This zone’s energy works to release that and bring life back to normalcy.

The basic reason for a malfunctioning thyroid gland is a disturbed West-North-West zone. If this zone is used as a store room for many years, the space here tends to store all the mental fatigue also. The thyroid gland is affected, and so are the other glands, due to emotional fatigue. As all the glands are imbalanced, emotional sufferings are experienced in life also.

If there is fire in this zone, if there is a kitchen here, then we will never brood over our past, because our emotional toxification is being burnt out. We are able to let go very easily of our unwanted thoughts.

So, in this way, by understanding the energy fields of this zone, if we work in accordance with the zone, this will ensure we never feel suffocated, and we will never regret the past. Our lives will be beautiful, energetic and we will posses the capacity to address life in the right way, provided the energy of this zone is directed and used judiciously.
