Fig (10)	Fig (10) shows a building in which the toilet is present in the northeast corner. Defecation and fecal matter arrests the positive flow with the result that the building becomes Vaastu negative.	Fig 11
Fig 12	In Fig (11) we have a staircase in the northeast corner. Again weight here arrests the flow inside the structure. In Fig (12), a store closing the northeast corner negates the flow whereas in Fig (13), a kitchen comes in the way of the structure receiving the positive current. Heat in this sector virtually nullifies all the positive currents.
Fig 13	Fig 14	Fig 15
Same in Fig (14) where the bath replaces the kitchen. A higher floor level in northeast sector of the building as shown in fig (15) again prevents the flow from taking place. Wrong entry or exit doors in the north-northwest, the south-southwest, the west-southwest and the east-southeast disrupts the flow of energy inside a structure. The effect is more pronounced if they are single doors. The effect gets reduced somewhat if there is another door in the northeast sector of the building. See fig 16.		Fig 16
Fig 17	One should note that the terms ‘entry’ door or ‘main’ door and ‘exit’ door or ‘back’ door are relative terms, which is used only for identification purposes. The flow can always take place from northeast to southwest. Whether your plot faces north/east or south/west, the direction of the flow remains the same. Only in case of west and south-facing plots, the entry door for the forces are at the back of the building whereas for north/east-facing plots, the entry door is in the front of the building as far as forces are concerned.
Fig 18	In fig (17) the floor levels are lower in the southwest sector. Here again the energy flow does not take place. If the building has higher plinth level and the northeast sector is cutoff as shown in fig (18), the flow is distorted.
Fig 19	Fig (19) shows the levels and placements of the various utilities inside the structure to get the best Vaastu benefits. Here you see that openings are kept in the northeast sector readily allowing the energy to easily enter. A depressed level here sucks the current making a strong field inside. The kitchen in the southeast and toilet and bath in the northwest aid the flow to reach all sectors in full strength. The bedrooms are placed in the southwest, west and the south where abundant reflected bioenergy ensures the health of the members of the family.

We will now see how the first floor and subsequent floors can suffer from Vaastu defects. A first floor has no periphery. Thus the fact that you have a very good northeast current in the ground floor is of no consequence here. The plot of the first floor is the roof of the ground floor. Thus to have good Vaastu benefits we need to provide low level open terraces in the northeast sector so that sufficient energy to sustain the requirement of the first floor building is generated in the open roof area. Necessarily the balconies and open terraces are to come towards the north, east and the northeast.

Fig 30(a) a north to south Fig 30 (b) or from north to south can effectively stop the flow of energy as higher levels in the roof weakens that particular sector. In a roof, which slopes from east to west, the roof level is higher in the east than in the west. The southwest becomes more powerful in this case and the northeast is weakened which results in the structure turning negative. Same results follow if the roof is high in the north and low in the south.

We have now seen the defects that can occur in structures. We shall now see the effects of these defects. The effects vary depending on the purpose for which the building in question in used and the vulnerability of the individual concerned.

For example, a defective northeast in an industry can bring about production problems, whereas the same defect in a business house could lead to depressed sales. If this defect is present in a residence then it could cause health problems among the residents.

Again it is seen that a defect need not have the same effect on every family. For example, a kitchen in the northeast may aggravate the health problem of the eldest female in one house, but may act on the health of a male member in another house, while another may need a surgery following an accident.

Similarly a toilet in northeast can result in severe financial losses for a businessman who uses his residence partly for official purposes too. Whereas the same defect in the case of a houses of a bank employee fails to produce any financial distress on him because the latter is simply not vulnerable to this defect.

Thus a Vaastu defect in a building can affect its users differently depending on their own vulnerability. It is, therefore, important to analyse the defect in relation to the vulnerability factor and proceed further only if there are individuals who are vulnerable to the effects.
