Vastu, an ancient and wise spiritual science that, like yoga and ayurveda, originated in the subcontinent's Vedic culture, can be an important ally in our wired new world. Vastu believes that how we align our physical space in relation to nature and how we set up the interiors inside a structure have a powerful impact on usan impact that can be either positive or negative. Vastu creates personal spaces that let us unwind and feel at home so that once again we can hear our inner voice that speaks softly, gently, yet honestly to us. If we follow vastu and create a home and workplace that reflects the perfect balance that exists in the universe, we will rediscover our connection to everything that exists around us and, by extension, we will rediscover our inner voice, our inner guide. |

And what is vastu? Hindus modestly call it their science of architecture. It is not just about aesthetics but about the nature of the universe and our connection and relationship to it. Specifically, vastu is based on the Vedic idea that harmony within and without come from observing our proper relationship with every space we inhabit. In other words, before we can achieve internal peace, we need to find external peace. To this end, vastu helps us rediscover a life of balance and well-being by creating a healthy and soothing environment in our home and in our workspace. |

How do we achieve this balance? We achieve it through vastu's amalgamation of science and spirituality. We show respect for all creation and honor the ancient concept of the five basic elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth. If we keep them in harmony, we, in turn, achieve a harmonious relationship with them that brings us peace. We also accept the truth of the all-encompassing divinity that extends from a pebble to every organism that shares our shrinking world. This includes the divinity of our own true self. |
