Dear Asha,
Thank you for your question. The best way to invite positive vibes and energy into our homes is actually by setting up an altar to the Buddhas. This is a method that many people don’t know about, but is extremely powerful. Having an altar to the Buddhas in your house means that you don’t even need to worry about where to place other items, how places in your house need more space for the energy to flow better, etc.
This is because when you properly set up an altar to the Buddhas, only good things can happen. It becomes a portal the beneficial, protective, and prosperous energies of the universe to pervade your entire house, without having to change or add anything else to your home for this to happen. The representation you use on the altar can be any enlightened being. As long as the image or statue is of an enlightened being, you are set to see a huge change in your home environment.
Here is a link to an article that explains more about setting up an altar. It includes a old but very useful video:
