Ancient Wisdom for a Modern Wired World

Vastu has many practical benefits when its principles are applied in our everyday life.

Recently, a young mother with twins had her babies sleeping during the daytime in their rocking sleepers with the top of their heads in the north. The babies fussed and woke up often during their frequent naptimes and needed to be rocked and comforted back to sleep and did not sleep without interruption.

In Vastu, your head is considered the north pole of your body and when you sleep with your head in the same direction as the earth’s magnetic north pole, the two poles behave like magnets, they repel each other and interfere with your sleep.

When the babies were moved to another room for their daytime naps, their heads did not face north, and they slept much more soundly thru their naps, often the whole three hours, sleeping like a baby! There is such a sweet energy emanating from sleeping babies, so peaceful and tranquil.

The babies were sleeping southwest in this room, the direction for the earth element. The southwest is a very good direction for sleeping as the energies of the earth element are gained in this direction. It is particularly beneficial for older people who will gain the restorative energies of the earth element as they are sleeping.

If you are sleeping north and cannot change the direction of your bed, you can turn your body around and put your head to the south, a good direction for sleeping. It may sound odd, but it has worked for people and they have much better sleep and improved health with just this simple shift of sleeping direction.

Vastu is a great gift and blessing from the ancient Rishi’s of India. I truly believe that implementing the principles of Vastu in our lives and environments will benefit everyone in living a more peaceful, harmonious and fulfilling way.

Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Wired World:

Home, Sweet Home |

May your walls know joy, may every room hold laughter and every window open to possibility.

As the body is the temple of the soul, the Vastu home or workplace honors the temple of the body. The Vastu home becomes the temple that honors the soul, inner peace and harmony reign and you discover tranquility in your personal sacred space.

The Vastu guidelines regarding the directions and the five basic elements, air, earth, water, fire and space or ether encourages the placement of the furniture. Lightweight and delicate furnishings are placed the north and east to allow positive energy to enter the building, and heavy, tall furnishings are placed in the south and west to hold positive energy in the room or building. The sacred center, where blessings from the Divine flow, remains open and unburdened by weight.

This arrangement of furnishings, based on the unchanging elements creates a rhythm that flows thru your rooms, and the building. Your home and workspace will increase the well being of your body, mind and spirit when the principles and guidelines of Vastu are implemented and incorporated. Positive energy is attracted to your home and workspace and life flows more beautifully and easily. In India, where Vastu originated, a Vastu home is known as a Fortune Attracting Home.

Within the tenets of Vastu, the buildings where we live and work are considered a living entity that is deserving of love and respect. When we take good care of our homes and workspace, they will in turn, take care of us.

“A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.”
Rules for Living, The Dalai Lama

Ancient Wisdom for a Modern Wired World:

Spiritual Housecleaning.

Reducing Clutter.

In Vastu, it is very important to be clutter free. It is difficult to cultivate inner peace and harmony if our surroundings are cluttered and chaotic. A neat and clean home can actually lower Cortisol levels.

Clearing clutter is a proven therapy for creating change in your life and decreasing stress in your life. Clutter acts like stagnating pools that collect and store negative energy, preventing you from moving forward in your life; it prevents the joy of free and easy movement. By clearing clutter from your home, all areas of your life flow more easily.

In Vastu, each direction is associated with an element. The northeast is represented by the water element, and influences financial growth. The southeast corresponds to the fire element, stimulating the energy of financial success and recognition. The southwest is connected to the earth element, which supports and stabilizes prosperity. The northwest is associated with the air element is the realm of successful, clear communication, enhancing finances and relationships. The center of your environment represents the space element, which influences the success of all your endeavors.

You can see that clutter in any of these areas will affect that area of your life in a negative manner, blocking success in your endeavors.

By clearing clutter and allowing your environment to breathe and flow, you will discover it is easier to create your dreams. You have prepared for your new reality.
