Toilet Seat Facing North or South to Halve a Toilet Dosh

Turning the toilet seat so the user faces North or South, never East or West, corrects about half the dosh of a toilet even when it stands in a wrong zone.

What it does

A simple first correction for a wrongly placed toilet that also helps the bowels clear quickly.

Where

Toilet seat on the North-South axis

When

Face North in the daytime and South at night

How to do it

  1. 1Check which way the user faces when seated on the toilet
  2. 2If the seat faces East or West, refit it on the North-South axis
  3. 3By day face North, and at night face South, when passing urine or stool
  4. 4On an Indian seat, simply sit facing North by day and South at night

Cautions

  • Never face East (sunrise) or West (sunset) while passing urine or stool
  • A Western seat allows only one facing, so set its direction correctly when installing it

Explanation and notes

Correcting only the seat direction gives about 50 percent relief even when the toilet is in a wrong zone. The teacher changed East- and West-facing seats to North-South in many homes with very good results, better than many other treatments, so do this first. Facing North aligns the body with the magnetic field, and the pressure it puts on the stomach clears the bowels quickly. The rule against facing East or West appears in Vedic texts, the Shiv Puran and Jain texts. A slight tilt, such as facing NNE on a tilted plot, is acceptable.

Toilet Effects in Each of the 16 Zones

Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
