Crystallised Hexagonal Quartz Under the Floor to Nullify a Bad Zone
Natural four-axis crystallised hexagonal quartz spread under the flooring energises a room or plot and nullifies the defect of a room built in an unsuitable zone.
Principle
Floor-to-Slab Height: Highest on the Ground Floor, Decreasing Upwards
Floor-to-slab height represents the air element: the more space air has, the more freely it moves and the more comfortable the house feels. The ground floor gets the greatest height and each upper floor progressively less.
What it does
Balances the air element through correct ceiling heights.
Where
Every floor of the building
Cautions
- Avoid low heights and lofts that split a tall floor into two low levels; they imbalance the air element.
Explanation and notes
Air increases with altitude: there is more wind on a hill top than at its foot, so upper floors already get more air and can be lower, while the ground floor needs the most height. For example, if the ground floor is 11 ft, the floors above are made progressively lower. Palaces built about 500 years ago had heights of 15 to 18 ft for this reason. Offices, mostly in Mumbai, often split a 15 ft height into two levels of about 7 ft with a loft (chhatti) and partitions, which imbalances the air element.

Vedic Creation Order of the Five Elements (Panch Mithun Cycle)
In Vedic vastu the five elements arose one from another in a fixed order: Space, then Air, Fire, Water and Earth, after which the cycle returns to Space. This order, described in the Shiv Puran, is the base for knowing which element creates or destroys another.
Principle
Five Elements in the Body Chakras: Proof of the Vedic Element Order
The five chakras from the throat downwards hold the five elements in the same order as creation: Vishuddhi holds space, Anahata air, Manipur fire, Swadhishthan water and Muladhara earth.
Principle
Energy Exists as the Five Elements and Every Object Represents One
Both geopathic and cosmic energy exist in the form of the five elements. The universe, the body, the nine planets and every material, food, metal and artifact represent one element or another, so a building is balanced by balancing its elements.
Principle
Land Energy Decides 70 Percent, Orientation Only 30 Percent
Land (geopathic) energy, which is the earth element, carries 70 percent of the result of a building, while orientation and zoning carry 30 percent. A site with zero land energy fails however good its orientation and interiors are.

Earth Element (Prithvi Tatva): Attributes, Zone and Effects in the House
The earth element is golden yellow, square, located in the South-West and solid, heavy and dense by nature; in a house it is represented by the land energy, the plot shape and the slope. Balanced, it gives the greatest stability and success; disturbed, it brings business uncertainty and unhealthy relationships.
Principle
Keep the South-West Packed, Heavy and Closed (Earth Zone Rule)
The South-West holds the earth element, whose nature is solid, heavy and dense, so this zone is kept solid, heavy and compact with the fewest openings. Infrared rays also arrive from the South-West at a particular time of day, another reason to keep it closed.
Testing
Speech Test: Sweet or Bitter Speech Shows the State of the Earth Element
The taste of the earth element is sweet, so where the people of a house speak sweetly the earth element is balanced, and where people in a home, factory or business speak bitterly it is disturbed.

Ivory Colour Flooring to Strengthen the Earth Element
Ivory, a very light yellow, represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles are the most preferred and generate the most energy in a house.
