Money blocking habits

Who does not wish to have money in life? Money is the guarantee of comfort, pleasant relationships, leisure in life, and so much more. And at times, no matter how hard people try, they still can’t accumulate enough money in life. And these situations are believed to be a money block. Money blocks are the habits that stop the flow of financial prosperity in the home, and these are small habits and actions that people often ignore.
Here we mention 6 habits that are believed to lead to a money block in life.


2/7

Running taps

One of the most common beliefs in many cultures is that a leaking or running tap also leads to financial leakage in the house. Just like water drips away from the tap, in the same way, money too drips away from the house. And so, a continuously dripping tap is not only a waste of water but is also considered a drain on wealth and resources.So, it is important to regularly check and fix any leaking taps not just to save money, but also to save water.


3/7

Having a messy home

Another belief in many cultures is that having messy, cluttered homes results in stagnation of energy. And when energies can’t freely flow through the home, it blocks money, opportunities, good luck, and much more.In Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui, cleanliness and decluttering are linked to positive energy. When the living space is untidy, it shows a chaotic mindset, which leads to poor financial decisions.


4/7

Impulsive purchases in certain months

For Hindus all over the world, the month of ‘Shraad’ or Pitra paksh is extremely important and requires great control over the senses. It is the time to honour the ancestors and the departed who bless us from above. And as this period is dedicated to spiritual and religious activities, thus material habits are on pause. So, it is believed that people who continuously make impulsive purchases during the Pitra paksh days disrupt the flow of positivity in their lives.


5/7

Neglecting the Southwest corner of the home

According to Vastu, the Southwest corner of the home is the corner that invites wealth and stability. Ignoring this area, be it through cluttering it, or by not using it, or even by keeping something unpleasant over there is believed to disrupt the flow of financial abundance.
So, charge the Southwest corner of the home with images or idols of deities, keep it clean and tidy, and try keeping a safe or a money plant over there.


6/7

Having a broken or chipped idol of Lord Kuber

Lord Kuber is respected as the god of wealth and treasures and is a symbol of prosperity. People often bring idols of Lord Kuber or the Kuber Yantra on Diwali, and keep them in their home vaults, temples, and the likes. But, not many know that keeping broken or chipped idols of Lord Kuber can attract negative energy in the form of depleting money.


7/7

Keeping a mirror opposite the entrance

In some beliefs and traditions, it is said that keeping a mirror opposite to the entrance door also repels money and opportunities. And so, a mirror placed directly opposite the main entrance is said to reflect energy out of the house. This includes wealth, energy, money opportunities, and the likes.
