AKIK the GEM STONE

 Akik or Aqeeq stone (also known as Onyx). This stone comes in a host of colours like white, yellow, green, black and red tones. The stone works by absorbing the rays of the Sun, and passing them on to the body. The earthtone color rays of this stone opens lines of nerve channels that coordinate myriad body functions within the body.

It is believed that akik stone (of yellow tone) has the power to solve your financial problems. Akik is also used as a substitute for precious stone for example, Green Onyx can be used in place of Emerald, a stone belonging to Mercury; whereas Black Onyx balances the malefic effects of Saturn.

Here’s how you can benefit from it, according to astrology.

– On a Friday evening, take an akik stone mala and chant the following mantra 108 times. “Om Hrim Hrim Shree Shree”
Offer this mala to a Laxmi temple and watch your wealth grow.

– Take 27 akik stones and keep a portrait of Goddess Laxmi over it. This will attract prosperity and wealth to the house.

Qualities of a good onyx/akik

-It should be of even color
– It should have minimum inclusions or lines
– Go for a gemstone that is unheated & untreated

Also, the weight of the Onyx stone in carats should correspond to 1/10 of your body weight in kgs (60kg weight = 6 carat Onyx). So, calculate accordingly.

For people in Northern Hemisphere

If you are in the northern hemisphere (north of equator), do not sleep with your head in the north direction. According to Vastu, it is the worst sleeping direction and brings nightmare.

 

Reason: If you place your head to the north and stay that way for 5 to 6 hours, the magnetic pull of earth (which goes from south to north direction) will cause pressure on your brain. This causes disturbed sleep and increased sickness.

But if you are in the southern hemisphere ( in countries like Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Brazil) then the opposite rules apply. Sleeping in South direction would bring bad effect on body, while sleeping with head in the North direction is okay.

Vastu Direction: EAST

East is the best direction to enjoy an undisturbed sleep. North-east is okay. 

According to Vastu, sleeping in this direction is said to increase 

concentration and memory. This direction regulates a person’s pulse rate and 

blood circulation all over the body.

Vastu Direction: WEST

This is considered the next best sleeping direction. This gives name, fame and prosperity.

Vastu Direction: SOUTH

This is also a favourable direction of sleep if sleeping in East is not possible. 

According to some pundits, South direction increases wealth, happiness and prosperity.

Vastu Direction: Bed

In order to enjoy sound sleep, one must have a bedroom with a peaceful environment. South West direction is the storehouse of positive energy. Therefore, placing your  bed in this direction is a great way of curing insomnia. Also, remember, this area must not have windows or doors because these openings will release the energy that has gathered in the house

u, sleeping in this direction is said to increase concentration and memory. This direction regulates a person’s pulse rate and blood circulation all over the body.

Crows and Omens

Animals and birds are connected to various beliefs in Hindu religion. As far as crows are concerned, there are some signs and omens connected with this bird. According to an ancient belief, crows are the linkage between the dead and living humans (thus sometimes referred to as our ancestors), and it is understood that this bird can predict our future.

If a crow comes in front of a traveler and starts to caw loudly and then leaves, it indicates success in his work or travel plans. On the other hand, if the crow is seen sitting on a pot full of water, the person who sees it is going to get rich.

Crowing on Pot full of Water indicates that your financial situation will improve.

If a crow is seen carrying a roti (flat bread), piece of flesh, etc in its mouth, it is a sign of good news

If it drops that piece of flesh on a person, it can be inauspicious, In some cultures, it is considered as a news of death. If a flying crow beats on a person’s head, he/she can suffer from some illness. 

If a group of crows make noise, that particular place, which can be a home, village or office, could get a bad news. Also, the owner of that particular place can land into trouble.

If a crow lands on the head of a man, he/she can lose respect in society due to a scandal or be humiliated. If a crow sits on a woman’s head, her husband can get into trouble.

If you see a crow coming from the South-East direction in the evening, it indicates monetary gain.

If a crow caws loudly along with continuously flipping its wings, it is said to be giving the message of death.
