The science of directions

We all know that the earth is a giant magnet and even the human body has its own magnetic field. Placing your head in the north direction interferes with the magnetic field of the earth as your body becomes asymmetrical to the earth in this situation. Our blood contains iron and the iron content of our blood begins to be repelled by the earth (giant magnet) which causes the problem of blood pressure and even brain hemorrhage and paralytic attack if you are aged.

The magnetic waves of the solar system travel from the south to the north direction. To maintain harmony with the natural magnetic field of the earth, our body needs to be aligned in the manner that our head should be in the south direction and feet should be in north direction.

Correct direction for sleeping

Which direction can be preferred to sleep apart from the north?

South is the best direction to keep your head towards while sleeping for good health. For maintaining balance between electromagnetic pull of the Earth and our body, keeping your head in the south and feet in the north direction is the best position.

If it’s not possible to place your head in the south while sleeping, you can prefer placing your head in the East direction. Placing your head in the East direction increases your memory, brain power, concentration and spirituality. So, you can prefer keeping your head in the east and feet in the west direction while sleeping.

So, are you placing your head at the right direction while sleeping? If not, correct the position now.
