Principle
Flat Vastu: Upper Floors Follow Different Rules
On the 10th to 25th floors the air moves with high intensity, so energy generated in a flat moves away quickly and the rules for ground-level buildings do not apply. Even a wrongly placed toilet in a high flat often causes no trouble.
What it does
Avoids unnecessary remedies in high-rise flats and applies the right principles there.
Where
Flats on upper floors
How to do it
- 1For a high-rise flat, assess the share of cosmic energy along with direction and the condition of the land.
- 2Do not apply ground-floor rules and remedies by default.
Cautions
- Many small remedies people apply in flats are not needed at all.
Explanation and notes
Kings built palaces on hilltops because cosmic energy is strong at height: geopathic energy from below is filtered by the many layers it passes through, heavier particles settle and the lightest, freshest air stays on top. About 18 percent of people live in flats today and this is expected to reach 33 percent, so flat Vastu is essential for practitioners in big cities.

Principleदिशा से पहले दशा
Land Energy Comes Before Direction (Dasha Before Disha)
The word Vastu comes from the Sanskrit vas, the land of residence, so the condition of the land is judged before any direction. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result.
Principleवास्तु की परिभाषा
Core Definitions of Vastu from the Classical Texts
Vastu is defined in complementary ways: the land of residence, the architectural art of coordinating nature and human, orientation according to the sun, the free movement of air, a structure that controls the mind, the management of universal energy and the balance of the five elements.
Principleवायु का निर्बाध आवागमन
Ventilation in Every Room: Vastu as the Free Movement of Air
Energy rising from the land (geopathic) meets energy from the planets and stars (cosmic) and forms a third energy that can turn intense or toxic when mixed with household activity, so it must be able to leave the house. Every room therefore needs ventilation.
Principle
Thin Walls and Large Openings for Morning Sun, Thick Walls for Afternoon Sun
Early morning sun brings positive ultraviolet rays rich in vitamins and metals, while after about 2 pm the rays turn infrared. Openings and wall thickness are planned accordingly so the building admits good energy and blocks harmful energy.
Principle
What Sun Rays Carry at Each Time of the Morning
Sun rays are described as miracle rays that carry silver, gold, iron, mercury, lead and other minerals as well as vitamin D and vitamin B12, each at a particular time around sunrise. No electric light can supply these.
Muhurta
Start Auspicious Work Only in Daytime, While the Sun Is Up
Griha arambh (start of construction), griha pravesh, factory opening and other auspicious (mangalik) events are held in daytime, because work begun with the sun's energy goes well. After sunset creation is considered asleep.

Longer North-South Axis for Magnetic Attraction (Chandra-Bhedi Plan)
The sun's movement from East to West creates a magnetic effect with North and South poles. A plot, building, room or hall whose North-South axis is longer (chandra-bhedi) holds the strongest magnetic field, giving attraction and concentration; one whose East-West axis is longer is called surya-bhedi.
Energy Boosting
Magnets and Hematite on the North-South Axis to Raise the Magnetic Field
When a plot's North-South axis is short, the magnetic field is increased by planning every room long in the North-South direction or, failing that, by placing heavy magnets and hematite mineral on the North-South axis.
