Mirror False Ceiling at the Brahmasthan for an Open-to-Sky Effect
A mirror false ceiling at the centre point of the Brahmasthan makes the space open to the sky and balances the space element when a real open-to-sky courtyard cannot be built.
Principle
Ceiling Colour: Keep It White, Never Red or Brown
The ceiling belongs to the space element, so it should stay white, or natural wood colour for wooden ceilings; red or brown on the ceiling sets fire to space and brings trouble.
Principle
False Ceiling Materials: Wood Best; Fibre, Metal, Fabric and PVC Avoided
A solid wooden false ceiling without gaps is the best; a glass ceiling is acceptable if fully sealed, while fibre, steel or other metal, synthetic fabric and PVC ceilings disturb energy.
Principle
False Ceiling Shapes Matched to the Element of the Zone
A ceiling's shape brings its element into the room, so ceilings are shaped by zone: half-moon in water zones, a round dome at the Brahmasthan, a rectangle in South and West bedrooms, and never a triangle.
Principle
POP False Ceiling: Hollow Gaps Store Negativity, Dust and Bacteria
POP (plaster of Paris with gypsum and adhesive) false ceilings leave hollow gaps that collect dust and negativity and retain moisture and bacteria, so they are best avoided.
Questions and answers
What should be done if the overhead tank is directly above the bed?
Paste a thin layer of muscovite (mica) on the ceiling, or give the room a wooden ceiling. Sleeping under an overhead tank generates hydro currents that raise the risk of heart problems.
How can a wooden false ceiling be made white?
It does not need to be white. Keep the natural colour of the wood; wood-coloured ceilings have been used for thousands of years. Painting it red, green or grey is wrong.
Can a rectangular shape be used in the North?
It is better avoided. In the North, choose a half-moon type shape as far as possible.
Can a false ceiling be painted blue, and will it cause problems?
Light sky blue that matches the colour of the sky can be used and causes no problem. If the blue is dark, paint small twinkling stars on it to nullify its effect.
Can the ceiling be painted brown?
Not at all. Brown on the ceiling starts representing fire in the space element.
Can a round ceiling be made in the North-West?
The North-West is the location of the Moon, but it is better not to make a double-moon (full round) shape there.
Can a circular POP ceiling be made in the North?
Yes, a circular shape can be made in the North.
Can wooden flooring and wooden ceilings be used in any zone?
Yes, wood can be used in every zone and direction, just as wooden doors are used everywhere. Similarly, white or ivory can be used in all directions when the whole house is painted in that one colour.
