If a vastu energy scanner shows a home as fully balanced but problems such as an unending loan continue, what should one trust?
The scanner reading and the results in life should match; if the scanner says the energy is fine while the problems continue, the scanner is at fault. The best scanner is the one built into you, your own breath. Check the home with your swar after nadi shodhan instead of relying on market scanners.
