Vastu is an ancient Indian science that helps create a balanced and harmonious living or working space by aligning it with natural energies. It’s based on the belief that every place has its own energy, which can be optimized by placing rooms, furniture, and structures in certain directions. The layout is divided into five dishas (directions): North, South, East, West, and the central direction, each holding a specific energy. By following Vastu principles, you can align your space with positive energies that promote well-being, prosperity, and peace.
At the heart of Vastu lies the concept of the Vastu Purush, who symbolizes the energy of the space itself. According to legend, the Vastu Purush lies with his head facing Northeast and his feet facing Southwest, and each part of his body corresponds to a different direction and room in the home. By respecting the Vastu Purush’s orientation, you can channel energies effectively within the space, ensuring that each area serves its purpose while promoting a balanced, peaceful environment.
