How Vastu Shastra brings peace to the family?

by Leave a Comment

The hilarity of children, the joy of parents, and the love of grandparents! These are the beautiful gems of a family that are cherished in togetherness. We all are meant to live in peace, love and harmony. Family is the substratum of it. The    age-old model of Vastu Shastra has guidelines to enhance positive bonding and strengthen affinity and connection among the members of a family. These codes of conduct, which are backed by scientific reasoning, can bring out a state of equilibrium and convenience for everyone.

Let us tune into that peace by making a few changes that are simple yet important:

  1. For healthy relations in the family, place a beautiful family photograph in the south-west direction in a yellow or golden frame.
  2. A rising sun brings out many possibilities for life. Place a picture of rising sun in the east direction of your house. This will enhance healthy social relations of the family members.
  3. For healthy and affluent marital relations, the wife should sleep on the left side of her husband. Let there be no dividing mattress on the bed, a single fitting one would be best.
  4. To augment the interest of kids in studies, their study table should be placed in the east direction of room.
  5. Place the pictures of late family members on the south wall or south-west corner of the house. Do not keep them in places of worship. This helps in achieving more fulfilling and happier relations in the family.
  6. Store room or storage units should be located towards the South direction for security and abounding happiness.
  7. Family members will be more peaceful if heavy and permanent items are placed in the South-west corner of the house. In the opposite direction – North and North-East, there should be lighter items.
  8. Windows of the house should be in the east direction as it is considered auspicious. Keep them open and clean to let the positive energy enter into the house. This measure overcomes several doshas and strengthens the bond of respect among elders and young ones.
  9. Similarly, keep the head of the bed in the east direction or else it should be in the south direction.
  10. Religious books should be placed in the west direction. Medical reports, medicines, and such other prescriptions should be placed in the midway between North and North East.

Five Elements of Vaastu

by Leave a Comment

Vaastu has its origin rooted in Indian science and architecture. It consists of five natural elements and collectively they are called “Panchabhootas”. These five elements are fire, water, earth, air and space. Each of these elements significantly affects our life. Vaastu shastra guides us about how to make a good and balanced use of these five elements to gain the optimum benefits.

Let’s understand the importance of these elements according to what vaastu says.

Fire: The south-east corner represents fire. That is why, the south-east corner is considered the best place to have kitchen. You can place heat generating appliances and heavy objects at this corner. It does not make a perfect place for drainage system or septic tank. Sleeping with your partner at this corner should be avoided as well.

Water: The north-east corner represents water. This corner of the house is believed to be a place of almighty and therefore, makes a perfect place to build your prayer room. Never fail to keep the place clean, as it is the most sacred corner of your house. Try to avoid placing heavy objects at this corner. It is also an ideal corner to be used as the main entrance of your living space. It is better not to build up master bedroom, staircase or toilets at this place.

Earth: It is represented by the south-west corner. It is the perfect place to have lockers of jewellery and cash. Avoid having living room, children’s room, kitchen, bathroom and even the main entrance at this portion of your house. Walls in this part should be thicker if compared with those along the north-east corner.

Air: This element is represented by the north-west corner. You can have living room, bedroom, guest room, wash-basins and toilets at this part of your living space. The drainage system should preferably built up in such a way that the rain water flows to the north-west direction. The place is ideal to have bedroom for the newly wed couple. However, it is not the right corner for having under-water tank or kitchen.

Centre: It represents space. The ideal plot for your house should be square or rectangular in shape. Avoid buying a plot triangular, oval or round in shape. This portion should be free of clutters. No pillar, wall, staircase, bedroom or toilet should be constructed at the centre.

Feng shui tips for building up a happy romantic relationship

by Leave a Comment

After the big-fat-Indian-Wedding season, it is time to gear up for building up the relationship. Love and romance need space and time to nurture before it starts to blossom. Following are a few feng shui tips to develop a healthy relationship amongst the couples.

1.   Pay attention to the relationship area

·       Large centrally placed beds always allows energy (Chi) to circulate well and constantly welcomes positive vibes.

·        It is equally important to de-clutter the space to avoid any lingering negative energy accumulation.

·       Also, it should be particularly noted to avoid the presence of any sharp corners or edges in the relationship area. These are the preferred places of the negative energies,

·       Additionally, special attention should be paid to the colour and direction of the room. Rose, pink, green and purple are some of the favorites. However, shades of peach are discouraged as they invite philandering.

·       Exercise equipment definitely does not belong to the relationship area, and should be relocated immediately. Further, any other equipment related to work like computers and laptops should not be incorporated in such a space. These invite quarrels and fights.

·       Door knobs or wardrobe handles should not be in their conflicting positions as it clearly indicates negative Chi in the inhabiting space.

2.   Symbolizing artwork: Any artwork like photos, or paintings should symbolize harmony in a relationship like a bunch of flowers or a happy couple touching each other.

3.   Managing the interiors: No reflective chandeliers (or even fan) above the bed, perfectly placed mirrors, and closed bathroom doors are a few note-of-caution. Avoiding too many cushions and spreading out light sheets are a few ways to propagate positive energy.

4.   Pink Flowers: Fresh flowers are an invigorating source of energy. It is imperative to replace the dead flowers with fresh ones to maintain this Chi.

5.   Wooden beds: Metals beds or those made out of any other material emit negative energy, and should therefore be avoided.

Building up a relationship area that soothes the already chaotic environment right after the wedding can make it convenient for the couples to create their own niche of happiness and prosperity.

 

Does vaastu help medical centers like hospitals and clinics?

by Leave a Comment

Medical centers are the regular places where constant clashes occur between negative and the positive energies. It is, thus, highly recommended for these places to harbor maximum positive energy by following some simple yet effective vaastu tips.

1.   Directions

·       Suggested entrance is east or north

·       Consultation room is advised to be located in the south west or west zone

·       Imaging machines are best placed in the southeast

·       Toilets and bathrooms recommended in northwest or southeast

·       Mortuary recommended in south west or north west

·       Recovery rooms suggested in southwest or North east

·       Reception is best placed in East

2.   Interiors

The artwork in the entire property should depict life and positivity. Fresh flowers also symbolize positive energy in the property.

Further, proper seating arrangement for the visitors, staff and attendants, and presence of cushions and head rests symbolize comfort and warmth.

Incorporating certain aspects like soft music, pleasing paintings, appropriate colors etc. help in harvesting out positive energy for the entire property.

Avoiding colors like reds and oranges in a hospital is very important.

3.   Proper arrangement for water supply should be ensured. An overhead or an underground tank should have enough water round-the-clock

4.   A de-cluttered space with well organized and dedicated area for medical books and journals, generator and transformer, research and development, investigating laboratories, pantry, kitchen and canteen

5.   Administration and accounts department should be well distinguished and located in the east side of the property.

6.   Each room, especially the recovery rooms and Intensive care units, should be well lit and ventilated to allow enough circulation of energy.

A space that is welcoming and positive for the patients certainly earns good reputation. Besides, it accelerates the healing process and creates a healthy and a happy bond between the medical practitioners and the patients and their attendants.

Additionally, it affects the entire staff (that works in that space quite regularly), and is steadily exposed to such a messy environment, ensuring a peaceful, powerful and energetic field for them.

Is an Imbalance in Panchtattva Resulting in Global Warming?

by Leave a Comment

The entire universe, our body and even our homes are made up of the panchtattva namely fire, water, space, earth and air and it is the balance of these elements that ushers happiness, wealth and prosperity into our lives. It’s important to understand that vaastu shastra revolves around the principle of harmony and balancing of these elements.

Any imbalance of the panchtattva results in unhappy situations and problems in our lives, both mentally and physically. For instance, water, as an element is related to conceptualization of fresh ideas, thoughts and clarity. An imbalance of this element can cause a lot of disturbances in our lives. This is exactly why underground water tanks should never be located in the southern portion of the house. Similarly, the air element is associated with growth and movement and the fire element is associated with money and recognition. Similarly, the air element is associated with growth and movement and the fire element is associated with money and recognition. In fact, one of the major causes of global warming is the imbalance in the five elements.

According to a study conducted by Dr. Padmaja, global warming is essentially an imbalance of the panchtattva or the five elements. She further reinstates that the depleting ozone layer is causing an imbalance of the space element whereas our planet’s rising temperature as well as the harmful radiations that are entering the earth, are all happening owing to the imbalance in the fire element.  Her research has also helped her in concluding that the rising level of the sea water is a result of the imbalance of the water element whereas the growing menace of pollution is a result of the imbalance in the air element. Apart from this, the rampantly occurring natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunami and droughts as well as flooding are a result of the imbalance of the earth element.

Thus, there’s no denying the fact that when each of these elements are arranged appropriately in a given space, it automatically attracts positive energy, wealth and happiness. This is precisely why we must focus on balancing the vaastu of our home or office. Vaastu, when done in the right manner, can help us in creating a healthy environment as well as surroundings. In fact, by simply altering the vaastu of our home, we can detoxify our homes and attract positive vibes from all directions.

“Creating” A Temple Through Meditation

by Leave a Comment

Any architectural space that helps us connect with inner self can be termed as a temple. The devnagri version of temple, “mandir”, clearly means “mann ke andar”; a space that leads one on the path of self revelation.

The space chemistry of a temple, or any temple-like architecture, has the potential to alter the thought patterns in the subconscious mind and energy fields around a person. This helps in connecting the inner self with the universe; and matches the individual’s energy with the cosmic energy fields.

Therefore, crafting spaces by combination of dimension, height, and proportion, and creating a balance between the energy fields of each of the components facilitates the process of connection and achieving tranquility and congregation. Vastu shastra helps in designing the space that fulfills the very purpose of a specific architecture.

How does vastu shastra work in “creation” of a space?

Creating a space according to the vastu shastra principles includes diagnosing a site and recognizing the earth energies and zonal powers, followed by categorization of different kinds of divine energy fields and deciding upon the final aesthetics of the place.

Meditation, the practice of establishing a connection between the inner self and the supreme power, can be successfully done in a particular zone of the house. Following the principles of vastu shastra, meditation can reap additional benefits, and help creating temple-like zone in the house itself. A person, who has been practicing it in a similar manner over the years, is familiar with the essence of vastu shastra in regular meditation practice.

It is imperative to be aware of the surroundings to experience greater connectivity. The prevalent energy fields in the home and the surroundings help in shaping the subconscious mind of the occupants. Meditation, in combination with the principles of the harmony of pachmahabhuta, yields the desired results.

Vastu And Yoga

Thoughts have immense power to control the mind and body. Positive thoughts, therefore, play an integral role in the physical, mental and social well—being of a person. Hence, it is imperative to realign the energy field around the body, so that it receives the positive and healthy thoughts that are constantly being transmitted outside, and repels the harmful thoughts.

Vastu with Yoga, basically, helps in maintaining thoughts, and keeping mind at peace and relaxes body, in a structured and beneficial manner. It ensures correct positions and directions while practicing inner peace and tranquility.

The principles of vastu for yoga indicate at subtle harmonizing of the elements of nature, including sunlight and temperature with the field around one’s body, to achieve the state of “energy balance”. This, promptly, coordinates one’s emotions and activities.

Maintaining a well-designated area for such a detoxification process is the prime requirement of vastu in yoga. Specific direction like northeast zone of the house, welcomes positive energy, strength and confidence while performing asanas, exercise and yoga postures. A window to allow fresh inflow of energy can also add to the benefits of the process.

Further, adding natural materials, like silk, cotton, wool, bamboo, wood, to the area, along with incense sticks and candles provides appreciable ambiance for meditation. Additionally, keeping the area clean and hygienic serves a delightful experience to the practice.

Vastu with Yoga brings tremendous correction in the energy field, while providing appreciable benefits to health and well-being of a person. Besides enhancing the mental equilibrium, it ensures positive outlook to a person.

Mind, body and soul healing with Vastu

by Leave a Comment

Each individual on this earth carries a field of energy around it that is created by certain specific centers in its body. This particular space resonates with the emotions of a person. An anxious person radiates high frequency vibrations around, while a calm, healthy and satisfied mind send out an energy that soothes and has healing powers in it.

This energy field or space is dynamic in nature, and can be modified by altering the vastu around each field. Recreating or restructuring the vaastu of the living space restores a healthy mind, body and soul.

Creating a balance between the vastu of our living space and our inner self helps building a healthy environment for the individual, and those living around. It thus becomes important to establish harmony with the surroundings.

The course of healing process by altering and maintaining the vaastu commences with detoxification, where a person starts de-stressing, feeling calm and relaxed, surpassing the level of tranquility, progressing to stillness, transcendence and enlightenment.

For a heavily damaged body and inner being over an extended time, healing takes a relatively longer time. This is because the entire system needs detoxification before realizing the benefits of vastu living.

Practicing vastu is equivalent to initiating a journey to the discovery of inner self. It requires fine tuning of environment with one’s mind, body and soul. In other words, to reach the level of tranquility, it becomes indispensable to bring harmony and balance between workspace and home with self.
