A Complete Vaastu, Spiritual and Botanical Blueprint

Indian tradition has always viewed trees as sacred custodians of energy. A home’s aangan is not just open space. It is the breathing field of the house, the place where prana enters, circulates and creates harmony or disturbance.

Every tree carries a frequency.
Some bring blessings, prosperity and peace.
Some block abundance, cause quarrels or attract negativity.

This guide combines traditional wisdom, Vaastu directions and ancient spiritual insights into a clear, practical, easy-to-use list.
