Pets are family members and should be treated as such. The design of your home has a dramatic affect on their health and well-being. When your environment is in harmony with nature, it will have a positive influence. If not, behavior al and health problems will show up in your animals in subtle and not so subtle ways. By applying environmental science of Vastu Shastra, you can create harmony and balance in your home that will support your pets. Vastu Shastra was written some 7,000-10,000 years ago in India by rishis, or men of great wisdom. Over a period of thousands of years, these wise scholars studied and chronicled strong influence that physical environment has on all living things. Through these observations, an exact science was formulated, which established principles behind some of world’s most enduring structures.
My wife and I have experienced firsthand benefits that some simple corrections using Vastu can have on pets. Our dog had a variety of skin and bladder control problems. Our cat was aggressive and territorial, fighting with dog and bringing into house anything she could carry. It always surprised us how she could get adult rabbits and baby crows through cat door, but she managed! Small but effective changes using Vastu, reduced these problems significantly.
According to science of Vastu Shastra, all five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) have an impact on your pets. Vastu balances five elements and promotes harmony within environment. When there is harmony, stress is reduced and animals can find their equilibrium. Due to their size, pets are far more susceptible to consequences of poor air quality and indoor pollutants than their caretakers. Flooring, decorating materials, mattresses, molds, toxic gases, pesticides and electronic equipment can all degrade air you and your pet breath, even if you are seemingly unaffected.
These are examples of dangers lurking in your home, unbeknownst to you. In this situation, what you can’t see can harm both you and your pets. Knowledge is power. Becoming aware of what you can do to protect your pets is best preventative measure there is. We can’t emphasize enough importance of reading all labels carefully to determine safety of any materials that you use in your home.
