Vastu for personal growth and self-realization

Prana (the life force) is the energy that pulses through the body and spreads along the energetic channels. These same channels connect the soul and the body and serve as conduits for pranic energy. The purpose of Vastu is to create a space that can be filled with positive energy for a person (prana) and to keep this space harmonious at all times. The continuous preservation of a harmonious space supports a person’s success. An individual’s success is important for their own development and for the development of their family, and the development of the family can, in turn, contribute to the development of the surrounding environment. In other words, the more a person is developed and lives in a developed environment, the more they will continue to grow and contribute to the evolution of the environment in which they reside.

VASTU encompasses every place in the Universe. VAASTU encompasses a portion of space located within the greater space of the Universe. Let us take a building as an example. This example illustrates that the Universe has vast influences on us and on our lives, and these influences can be harmonized through the science of Vastu Shastra, with an emphasis on self-development and self-realization.

In Vastu there are five primary elements, each responsible for one of the five directions: water – the northeast; earth – the southwest; fire – the southeast; air – the northwest; and ether – the center of the building. There is an exchange of energies between them, influencing the domestic space (these interactions were described by me in the book Vastu for Harmony in the Home and Success in Business). The element of ether is the primordial element that allows the other elements to flow as they should. It represents the direct connection with the cosmos and the microcosm.

The source of all energies and the information of all times is located at the center of the home.

The center provides the ability to see and understand the world correctly, to receive energy and strength for the people living in the house, and it also gives a person the opportunity to realize their potential. The element of ether is, in fact, the emptiness that gives life to the home and allows the energies of the house to flow freely. In general, every placement or movement of any structural object, furniture, or item that produces certain vibrations affects the flow of energies. All padas of the deities (energies) related to the Brahmasthan must be harmonious in order to receive energies from the central energy source. The center forms a connection with consciousness and spirituality. The eight cardinal directions constitute a group of characteristics and parameters. If the desired energetic flows do not occur between them and the Brahmasthan, they will not be able to function well. Therefore, it is very important that the central place of the home be harmonious and positive.
