where we ''must" spend our timeand we derive pleasure to the extent that the time passes quickly and is generally free of turbulence. Rushing through work, however, often robs us of the pleasure that comes with the discovery of the solution to a difficult problem. The goal to finish whatever-now-no-matter-what consumes people, and strips work of meaning. It can also lead to mistakes. |

These days, with more and more people working in cubicles and wall-less offices, it can be a real challenge to introduce vastu living to one's workspace. Quarters can be so cramped that one is even unable to find the Brahmasthana, the sacred center space. The lack of natural sunlight, openable windows, and the invisible presence of recycled, temperature-controlled air eliminate anyone's ability to experience the natural rhythm of the earth. It is a challenge to do good work in a bad environment. |

Fortunately, vastu can put us on the right track to reversing whatever negativity churns around the workspace. It can help us turn our workspaces into friendly spaces, introducing energies that celebrate life. By slowing us down, vastu helps us overcome the problems that come with being in near-constant overdrive. Because vastu living underscores the importance of mutual respect, it can help foster a strong harmonious relationship between you and your colleagues and between you and the elements in your workspace. Bringing vastu principles into the workspace gives you a wonderful new opportunity to find satisfaction in your work, whatever it is. |

Please, please don't ever view your workspace as temporary space that doesn't belong to you. It is your space. It is where you work, so claim it for yourself. Yes, you may end up moving to another post within your company or taking another job elsewhere, but this is where you are working now and you must treat it with care. If you put vastu into your space, it will nurture you. The best first step you can take is to train your mind to think of your workspace as sacred. |
