Wanting to add a unique lamp to enhance the aesthetics of your home? Then try placing a nice Himalayan salt lamp, which may look pleasing to the eyes but can do far more good than what one can expect! So whether you are struggling with a hard time or simply want to attract positivity and remove negative energy from the house, this one salt lamp can realign the energy of the house and cleanse the aura naturally!What happens when you place a salt lamp?According to Vastu shastra, placing a bright Himalayan salt lamp in your house can align with Vastu principles by harnessing the rock salt’s natural purifying energies and redirecting cosmic energies to bring positivity and neutralize the malefic planetary influences like Rahu’s illusions or Saturn’s stagnation. This is because of the subtle yellow-orange glow that represents Agni (fire element), which activates positive cosmic energies and cleanses the aura. It is believed that this lamp’s hygroscopic absorption mimics the moon’s cleansing energies that dispel negative energies accumulated from daily karmas.

Why this lamp?According to Vedic astrology and Vastu principles, the pink-orange hues of the lamp radiate the energy of Venus (love) and the Sun (vitality) and also help in strengthening the weak placements in birth charts by emitting subtle negative ions that counter electromagnetic energies linked to Rahu-Ketu disruptions. Keeping this lamp in the northeast (Ishanya, Jupiter’s zone) helps in enhancing spiritual clarity, dissolves doshas affecting relationships, and brings in Jupiter’s benevolence for prosperity and family harmony.
Where to place itIt is believed that keeping this lamp in the living room or southwest corner of the house may bring in stability, as this zone is governed by Rahu; the lamp helps ground excess Vata energies and reduces Mars-induced arguments or Mercury’s miscommunications that cause turmoil. Regular use of this lamp in the evening can balance the five elements by fortifying the 4th house (home) against planetary transits, with emotional peace as a protective talisman.
