Principle
Staircase Design Rules: Clockwise, Odd Risers, Landings and Equal Steps
Stairs must turn clockwise, have an odd number of risers, include landings and equal risers, arrive facing North or East, and have nothing harmful built beneath them.
Principle
Anti-clockwise Stairs Are a Dosh: Stairs Carry Earth Currents Upward
Stairs carry geopathic currents from below up through the building; stairs that turn clockwise increase the current, while stairs that turn anti-clockwise cause loss.
What it does
Explains why anti-clockwise stairs, even in flats, are a dosh.
Where
Staircase of a house or flat building
Cautions
- Avoid stairs that turn anti-clockwise.
Explanation and notes
In a flat, stairs in the anti-clockwise direction of the house are a dosh, though not a vedh. Spinning clockwise and spinning anti-clockwise feel very different; the stairs work on the same law of nature.
