Improve Your Relationships Through VastuWritten by Robin Mastro
Do you want be in a relationship that brings you deep fulfillment and love? Or perhaps you want a more satisfying connection with that one person already in your life? Would you like to have a deeply rewarding relationship with yourself? From a Vastu perspective, if your home is not in proper balance, those things that you desire most in life can elude you causing sadness, disappointment, and lost opportunities. Relationships, like other areas of your life, can be compromised when your home is not in balance with natural forces that permeate world and our Universe. In nature all five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) are in balance. When building, very little attention is placed on importance of creating a structure that benefits well-being and happiness of inhabitants or that brings in support from solar and magnetic energies. Have you ever experienced walking into a home that made you feel uncomfortable for no apparent reason? Or entered a home where you felt wonderful and relaxed? It is subtleties in our world that have great impact on us. Some people are attuned to environment and can sense this harmony or disharmony more readily. But for most, we are not as aware of impact our surroundings have on us. We are conscious of symptoms of disharmony – unhappiness, stress, arguments, and discontent, but rarely if ever do we consider that underlying causes could come from our environment. Vastu Shastra is architectural science that can create maximum harmony in a relationship through a unique process of balancing five elements in your home. It allows for beneficial energy to be readily available to support your desire for peace, happiness, and fulfillment. Here’s how it works: 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. Every particle of energy is linked to next particle. According to Vastu, sun produces different qualities of energy on its path from east to west and can influence our daily life. Each of five elements is associated with a direction and each direction has a particular influence on us. Different aspects of relationships are most optimally supported in a specific direction. When there is stress caused by finances, sexual imbalances, overwork, inability to communicate, children, and health challenges, relationships do not thrive. The northeast area of your residence is associated with water element and influences growth of your relationships. The northeast is good for entrances. If this area has proper Vastu, your finances will be good and this aspect will have a positive affect on your relationships. If there is a toilet, a missing corner, clutter, heating or lighting systems, or blockage in northeast, growth of your relationships will stagnate. If your bedroom is in this area, there will be a lot of tension.

Our homes, carefully oriented, have power to give us comfort and security and to be one of our best investments. We spend a great deal of time and money to accomplish this. However, many of us do not know if we are creating a positive and life-supporting place to live and work. Many people have reported health and financial problems after they had moved into a home or have done home improvements. Unknowingly, we may be doing more harm than good! Vastu Shastra, architectural science with roots in ancient India, takes into account environmental factors that we may be unaware of yet influence quality of our lives. Vastu is oldest and most complete system of architecture known to man. It involves assessing all environmental influences that affect us, such as geopathic stress, five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space), sun, moon and planets in our solar system. It considers building orientation, placement of rooms, proportions and measurements, slope and shape of land, location of bodies of water and other environmental and geopathic influences. According to Vastu Shastra, sun creates different qualities of energy on its path from east to west. These different energies influence and enhance specific functions and activities that correspond with specific areas of your home. Where you enter a house or room, where you prepare and cook your food, where you sit while eating, direction in which you sleep, where you face while studying, placement of bathrooms and areas for socializing and meditating are more optimally supported in specific parts of your home than in others. Vastu not only takes into consideration environment in which we live, but how our environment affects health of our bodies and our ability to create in world. The earth is a magnetic force and is composed of five elements, as is our brain. The thalamus is relay center for all sensory and motor signals (except smell) in brain. Neurological research has shown that firing patterns of neurons in thalamus of brain function differently depending on which direction one is facing. Our mind then is interactive result of affect of magnetic field in our brain cells. By placing our bodies and environments in alignment with magnetic axis, we can think and act more in tune with nature, which can benefit us in most amazing ways. Our actions and decisions will be successfully supported by forces of nature, much like swimming with current of a stream is easier than swimming against it. We all know or can imagine what it is like to swim up-stream, meeting with resistance to our success!
