These observations play a critical role in vastu. Since energy causes everything to vibrate, then it naturally follows that vibrations exist on our property, in our home, and in our workspacein all architectureas well as within us. Any space that conforms to vastu guidelines aims to maintain or even enhance the flow of positive vibrations and attempts to block out negative vibrations. The objective is to make the building's vibrations resonate or harmonize with the surrounding environment and with the vibrations of the inhabitants of the structure. |

To demonstrate that interactions with vibrations can be negative or positive, consider experiments that show that plants respond affirmatively to the sound of classical music. The plants' positive interactions with the vibrations created by the music increased their growth. Or consider how an extremely high-pitched human voice can shatter a crystal glass or hurt our ears. Vibrations clearly have the power to create, preserve, or destroy. Understanding this principle is critical to vastu. When we design a space, our goal should be to enhance positive vibrations and shut out negative vibrations. When external vibrations interact with our own, our goal is to have the interactions be harmonized and therefore beneficial to us. |
