In this case, hang three bronze bowls upside down on the ceiling but do not hang over the stove. - Master bedroom is the key to enter the door of stability and it must be in the South-West. You should sleep with your head in the South or West. But a breadwinner must never sleep in the North-East . - Bathrooms and toilets have the energy of 'hell' which are best in West or South. But should never be in North and North-East or they bring financial, health and educational problems. - Centre is the nose of your house from where your house breathes.
