White Orbs and Divine Protection

White Orbs and Divine Protection

This photo was taken many months after a Vastu Consultation. You can see the large orb floating on the upper left corner and the smaller one on the right side. The large orb is directly underneath the Yantra for the Divine Center, the space element, in this home. Orbs appear when there is a high spiritual vibration. A friend was taking photos and these orbs appeared in the photo. It is a demonstration of the stable and enduring energy of Vastu and the power of the Yantras and Mantras. A white orb is said to symbolize Divine protection. What is most interesting is that this orb is not in a random location, but a specific location, directly beneath the Divine Center Yantra.

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

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.

A Reverence for Nature

A Reverence for Nature

Vastu recognizes that our dwellings should reflect the rhythm of the universe and our connection to all of nature.

The beauty of nature in the home creates a peaceful and nurturing environment, calming to the senses and the spirit. A deep reverence and respect for nature is fundamental to Vastu, the first green science.

Ancient Vedic scholars realized that living, breathing plants are very beneficial and improve the air quality inside the home, promoting clear thinking. Healthy green plants have the power to improve concentration, increase productivity, reduce blood pressure and lower stress.

A Vastu environment includes many natural materials for the interior décor, including wood, stone, glass (made from sand) and natural fibers. In this way, we are honoring our connection to nature, making it an integral part of our environment.

Vastu’s ancient scholars believed that external peace impacts internal peace. Thousands of years ago, the ancient Vedic scholars understood that the surrounding environment influences health. Through the principles of Vastu, these sages created a design science to help restore balance and well being by creating a healthy and soothing home environment, allowing an unobstructed flow of invigorating energy.

Your Home Is Your Temple

In Vastu, our home is considered as the temple of your body and your body as the temple of your soul.

We want our homes and workspaces to reinforce positive thoughts.

When decorating your environment, be conscious of your choice of objects and pictures because they can profoundly affect the vibration and atmosphere of a room.

Scenes and paintings depicting spirituality, nature’s splendor, and images of human happiness are ideal. We can absorb the harmony and inspiration that radiates out from positive images, raising the vibration in your home or workspace.

According to the science of Vastu, images portraying devastation, war and sadness are best avoided. When we look at those images, their negativity can interfere with our wellbeing. It is best to consider the emotions that an image stirs within you before you decide to incorporate it into your environment.

Both Vastu and modern physics agree that all physical objects have an electro-magnetic field surrounding them and these fields will influence people and other objects in their vicinity. Displaying objects that stand for violence, such as swords, guns, knives etc. release negative energy into the room and are best avoided.

We can create sacred space for ourselves in our homes and workspaces following the principles of Vastu.
