Harmony represents a balance between two different or opposite things. When we see a beautiful object, it appears pleasing to our eyes because its design is harmonious. When we enjoy music, it happens due to its harmonious sound. Thus, everything that appears or sounds aesthetic to us may be summarized as harmonious.
The house we live in, the other buildings we visit regularly, and the space surrounding us have a strong influence on us. If an experience we had in a certain place was positive, we can say that the place is harmonious. If the experience we had in a certain place was negative or difficult, then the place was probably negative and disharmonious. If you have ever wondered why in one place you feel very good and in another very bad, this may be the reason behind receiving positive or negative experiences there.
Besides the fact that harmony creates pleasant sensations and tranquility, it establishes balance between a person and various energies circulating around the globe. These energies influence all areas of life, such as relationships, studies, career, work, partnership, health, and more. When the place where we live or stay is harmonious, we have a much greater chance of succeeding.
To create harmony and success in different areas of life, one may use various methods and scientific, mathematical formulas that were discovered and researched thousands of years ago. One such science is Vastu Shastra.
The formula of harmony according to Vastu includes important components: planning according to directions and the movement of magnetic-field energies, correspondence with astrology and numerology, alignment with the five elements, proper selection of colors and shapes, and maintaining cleanliness and order (this applies both to design and to clutter and dirt).
Energies, Influences, and Corrections
Thousands of years ago, scholars of India studied different types of energy, such as cosmic energy, the energy of the sun, wind, the stars of the galaxy (astrology and astronomy), and others. After researching the various types of energies, it was decided to develop Vastu Shastra.
There exist different types of energies and 45 magnetic fields that influence the place where we live, according to different directions. To live in peace with these energies, in balance, and with the ability to enjoy life, one must first correctly direct these energies through construction and design.
