Our consultation showed major imbalances in his living environment, which contributed to his health problems. After making changes needed to rectify this situation, both he and his wife reported that his health had improved, he was stronger and that they both felt an enhanced sense of well-being.

As a part of this earth, we live in a sea of electromagnetic and stellar influences. Every shift produced in atmosphere has potential to affect our actions and emotions. Every particle of energy in universe is linked to next particle. Nothing happens in a vacuum. We are all striving for balance and this cannot take place when there is environmental stress.

Stress comes when there is clutter, poor layout or design, lack of light, improper air circulation or when environment is not aligned with true North.

When environment is out of balance, you can experience a lack of energy, back problems, mental instability, stomach problems, learning disabilities, emotional imbalances and financial difficulties.

Unfortunately, most modern architecture is based on function alone and is not designed in harmony with forces of nature, which influence our health, happiness and overall well-being. When our environments are designed to conquer nature, there is no question we will feel stressed. The beauty of Vastu is that it specifically balances living and working environments without costly structural changes and does it in ways that can improve quality of our lives.

And now, before me, is a powerful pictorial representation of my life, seen from perspective of blessing. Proust said it, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Hallelujah!
