Now that we have explored vastu's roots and basic principles, it is time to turn our attention to how you can work with vastu in your home and workspace. As you begin to put vastu into practice in Part Two, it is important to remember that the science is flexible. Vastu living does not lay out hard and fast rules. There is not just one single way to set up a space in your home or workplace. If you can arrange your home or workspace so that just 50 percent is per vastu living, you're doing great. |

Remember that your house or apartment or condominium or cooperative is a living organism. This is equally true with your workspace. Vastu living's objective is to help you align the vibrations of this living organism with your own body's vibrations. You want to establish a harmonious environment that increases your positive vibrations. No matter what, you don't want to encourage disharmony or discord. This harmony is achieved by adhering to the law of nature, by accepting that everything is divine and worthy of our respect, and by providing a harmonious relationship between 1) your self, your home, and your workplace and 2) the five elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth. |

It is also important to recognize and accept that individuals in a home or individuals at work have distinct personalities and specific needs that require thoughtful choices. Again, vastu living does provide choice, and making wise choices helps create that harmonious relationship between you (and anyone who lives with or shares space with you), your physical spaces, and your surrounding exterior environment. Proper choices mean that you (and your soul) will have a nurturing home. I find this analogy to be useful: The soul should be thought of as a deity, and your personal space, whether a home or workplace, should be thought of as a temple. If we treat our spaces as sacred spaces, we find that connection between our soul and the Supreme Creator. We see that we are That. We find inner peace. |
