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.

How ‘Panchtattva’ Can Help You in Getting Rid of Vaastu Dosh?

by Leave a Comment

Our universe, which is beautifully adorned by several planets, moons, stars and other galaxies, is the result of coming together of five different elements viz. Air, fire, water, space and earth. Each of these elements, also known as Panchtattva, combines with one another to form our bodies as well as our abodes.

In fact, within buildings and other dwellings, all the directions are governed by different elements and if not balanced appropriately, they can impact our lives, health and wealth negatively. It’s the balancing or the Panchtattva, which helps in transforming a negative space into a positive one. 

Below are some of the ways that can be used for balancing the Panchtattva and removing vastu dosh from your home:

  • Always place water in the northern portion of your home.
  • The air element should occupy western portion of the property.
  • Fire should always be on the southern part of the abode.
  • Earth is the south-west corner of the property.
  • Space is the center portion of the house.

Apart from this, homeowners must also avoid placing fire in the western direction, as it can have a negative impact on your life and may result in the loss of opportunities. As already stated earlier, water should always be placed in the northern area of the house.

This enables the homeowners in having brighter and better views about life. Besides, they work diligently and witness an instant boost in their immunity level as well as overall health and well-being. Placing the water element in this direction also helps individuals in avoiding difficult situations with ease or little efforts. Homeowners who place the fire element in the north portion of their abodes may witness a huge imbalance in their lives as fire and water are exactly opposite to each other.

Vastu principles to design a swimming pool

by Leave a Comment

The modern lifestyle emphasizes on planning an architecture that brings prosperity and happiness to the inhabitants. Swimming pools are no exception to be laid out according to the vastu principles. This appropriately qualifies it to be a place of cleansing and purity.

Planning out a swimming pool

Location

Preferred direction is north, north-east or east. However, central location should definitely be avoided, as it acts as the absorber of energy.

Delineating

Proper gates not only add detail to the entire structure, it also avoids any negative energy to enter the area. Further, tall boundary around it promotes energy cluttering.

Shape

A perfectly defined shape like rectangle, circle or square creates an even space for energy balance. An irregular pool creates hotspots of energy, thus making the entire construction irrelevant.

Slope

It should slope downward towards the N, E or NE  direction to ward off the unwanted energies. Regular cleaning and maintenance constantly disperses accumulated energies.

It is advisable to consult a vastu expert for adding any other feng shui article to the area, like paintings, crystals and stones. This enhances the essence of planning out a personalized area that ensures soothing vibrations.

Vastufying a corporate atmosphere: Why and How?

by Leave a Comment

The sole elements that govern the survival of a corporate organization are profit and growth. A reassuring and a supportive office environment, created as a result of following the vastu principles, can have a tremendous aftermath, showcasing a huge success of the entire organization. The design, colour, architecture, and interior of a company, should be based on vastu principles, entirely.

Some of the ways of maintaining a motivating and positive workplace are listed below.

Basic architecture of the office space

According to Vastu Shastra, a well defined entry and exit to the office space welcomes positive energy. The entire office space should be balanced dimensionally to accommodate the most suitable vibrations. Having enough open spaces as courtyard or a balcony or a porch or an open reception area is always an indication of a healthy working space.

CEO’s office

South West of the office is the most suitable for CEO’s office, as laid down by vastu shastra to ensure guided work supervision.

General Workspace

Each cubicle or workstation should be well lit, with provision for proper ventilation. This welcomes circulation of positive energy in around the work force of an area, and creates a healthy working environment.

Meeting and conference rooms

Generally, these are the spaces where all the people assemble to discuss and share ideas and thoughts. Therefore, these rooms need to be arranged according to the objectives of an organization.

For some organizations, it is a common design for all, while for others the arrangement is strictly according to the hierarchy. In other words, vastu follows the company’s preferences and trends.

Toilets, restrooms and storage rooms are the other areas that should be designed so as to attract most of the positive energy to encourage maximum output.

 

Energizing a Child’s Learning Hours through Vaastu

by Leave a Comment

Respecting a child’s desire for love, care and respect is the first step in understanding its psychology. Besides providing a good nurturing environment, it boosts the confidence of the child, and facilitates the process of instilling positive emotions like trust, faith and love in a child. While providing the best education, implementing some vastu principles for a child’s space complements an ever-growing ambience for a child at home.

Following are the basic vaastu tips for a healthy and energetic study room.

Managing directions

For maximum absorption of power, the room for a child should be east or north-east facing. This improves concentration and inspires the child with new ideas.

Light

A bright and a well lit room welcomes a delightful study time. It should be kept in mind that there is no scope for any kind of shadow falling on the books while studying.

Ventilation

Provision of proper ventilation in the room ensures a regular and optimum flow of energy, the prime requirement of the room.

Architecture

A room with a concrete architecture, having well defined corners provides a fine balance of the elements of nature and energies associated with them. For best results, the room should be at an appropriate distance from the toilet that is believed to abstract the available energy.

Décor

Presence of lamp, inspiring pictures (like galloping horses and goddess of knowledge), a display of achievements (like certificates and trophies) are some of the ways

Wall colour

Reflecting wall colours are the prime requirement of a room that needs energy. Refreshing tones of green, blue and other earthy colours, while avoiding any dark colour, provide inviting ambience to a child’s room.

Furniture

A room with minimum furniture made out of solid wood, with no sharp edges or pointed corners welcomes positive energy. High back chairs to ensure an upright posture also prevent lethargy.

Besides, special attention should be paid to de-clutter the room. An unorganized room drains away all the energy. Bookshelves and other stationery organizers, therefore need to be managed according to vastu principles.

“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.

The Psychology of Feng shui and Vaastu

by Leave a Comment

Psychology deals with intangible things like ideas, thoughts, feelings, perception and opinions. It is the science that studies and understands the minds. It also, includes the various ways in which we can control, alter and modify our thoughts and actions.

Psychologists and Neuro-sociologists have proved that there is a direct relationship between our environment and our mind. The thoughts and feelings in our mind is constantly affected by the immediate environment, and in turn, these feelings and thoughts affect the environment around us.

Consequently, altering the environmental architecture and design may alter our thoughts and psychological state of mind effectively. Thus, Feng shui and Vaastu plays its role of establishing a mystical harmonious relationship between the cosmos, the physical environment and the man-made structures around us.

Feng Shui enables the analysis of the occupants of the space and the environmental energy. It works on the psychology that the world around us is driven by unseen forces. It believes that any living being is well-connected to its habitat. Therefore, it emphasizes particular designs of the living spaces, instead of just being artistically appealing buildings and superficially attractive environments.

These “designs” or architecture have direct and clear effect on a person’s own energy field, thus, creating a fresh ambience to work and live.

So, it becomes imperative to design the surroundings naturally based on Feng Shui principles to create a balance between the energies of the cosmos. Broadly speaking, Feng Shui affects our psychology and helps us understand and manage our environment in a more natural ways.
