Why Does Money Slip Away So Easily?
If you're reading this, chances are you're tired of seeing your income disappear faster than it comes. You’re not alone. Many people today struggle with rising expenses, despite working hard. Before jumping into budgeting apps and cutting back on your favorite snacks, try something ancient and deeply rooted in Indian wisdom.
Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui aren’t just old traditions — they are sciences developed by wise sages and masters to help us live in balance with nature and energy. Sometimes, when unexpected expenses hit one after another — broken appliances, medical bills, sudden losses — it’s not just coincidence. It could be the energy of your home that needs realignment. The good news is, you can fix it.
Your Home Might Be the Reason
It may sound strange, but the layout of your home and where you keep certain objects can silently influence your financial condition. According to Vastu, the North direction represents wealth and growth. If there’s clutter in the North zone, like unused junk, broken things, or even a bathroom, it can drain your financial energy. Similarly, if your locker or cash drawer opens towards the South, money may come in but won’t stay.
Make it a habit to keep the North zone clean and energized. Place a mirror on the North wall to symbolically double your income. Another ancient remedy is to keep a green plant or a small water fountain in the Northeast area of your home. Flowing water represents wealth flow. But remember, the water should always be clean and moving — stagnant water equals stagnant finances.
Simple Ancient Remedies That Still Work
One of the oldest remedies for reducing unnecessary expenses is lighting a ghee lamp in the evening in the South-East corner of your house, which is known as the Agni (fire) zone. This activates the fire energy and controls wasteful spending. If lighting a lamp daily feels difficult, do it at least on Fridays or during new moon and full moon nights.
Another tip is to keep a small bowl of rock salt in the bathroom. This absorbs negative energy that often leads to money leakage. Replace it every two weeks. Also, avoid storing clutter under the bed — especially old shoes or receipts — as this restricts financial progress.
From a spiritual point of view, chanting the Mahalakshmi mantra or simply expressing gratitude for the money you already have sends a positive signal to the universe. When you respect the money you earn, it starts respecting you back.
Bottom line
If expenses are constantly overtaking your income, it’s time to look beyond just practical budgeting and bring some ancient wisdom into your space. A few small changes in your environment, a bit of spiritual awareness, and a touch of intention can go a long way in correcting the money flow in your life.
