VASTU
AND FENG SHUI
|
|
|
Vastu
is an ancient vedic science/philosophy. Vastu
was first revealed by the Source of Supreme Consciousness
to a Vedic Sage who was seeking answers as to
how a person could live a life relatively free
of the sufferings and insecurities that even then
had plagued man for much too long.
Many feel that the early Buddhist monks brought
Vastu from India to other parts of Asia were it
evolved into the various schools of feng shui.
Vastu is sometimes called the "missing key"
to feng shui. Others feel that the two philosophies
are totally separate and were revealed to different
cultures in different places depending on their
needs.
In any case even though their differences may
be irreconcilable in many areas, they marry so
beautifully in other areas. It takes more than
one tool to build a house. Use whatever will enhance
the energy of the site.
It is suggested that if moving or building to
apply the principles of Vastu as the value of
correct foundation cannot be over-emphasized,
particularly to a seeker of enlightenment. If
in a home with faulty Vastu and moving is not
an option, employ feng shui cures.
Knowledge of Vastu will help the feng shui practitioner
and energy worker. Once it is understood how cosmic
energy flows in relation to the site, it will
be possible to troubleshoot and stop or predict
health problems, misfortune, divorce or other
sufferings before they manifest.
One might ask how the site can affect one's health,
happiness and fortune. Think for one moment about
the documented disadvantages of living under or
close to a huge electrical transformer. The bio-magnetic
field of a plot when seriously disturbed by the
addition of a structure is no less dangerous.
Cosmic energy enters the site from the Northeast.
The principles of Vastu are simple.
Divine Energy enters the site from the Northeast.
It rises and splits. Half flows toward the Southeast,
and half flows towards the Northwest before rising
and flowing on towards the Southwest.
The North east has a double positive current and
the Southwest a double negative. South of Southeast
and West of Northwest are positive. North of Northwest
and East of Southeast are negative.
The Northeast is called Deva Moola or God's Place.
Water is the element. Any time in nature there
is water and light, there will be life. The energy
of the Northeast is very light and brilliant.
The East is the direction of Knowledge, Southeast
is the direction of Fire, South is the direction
of Death, Southwest is the direction of Devils,
West is Rain, and Northwest is Vayu or Windforce.
North, Northeast and East are in the positive
field of the site.
South, Southwest and West are in the negative
field.
Therefore it is best to have a plot that faces
North or East (particularly if seeking enlightenment)
as you would want to open your door onto God's
field, the directions of Wealth, Divinity, or
Knowledge, rather than onto the negative field
of Death, Devils, and Rain.
It is interesting to note that the area of the
ba-qua that lines up with the front entrance refers
to the North regardless of what direction the
house faces. It is also interesting that the entrances
to the pyramids are facing North. North is the
preferred direction for one's structure to face
in Vastu.
Vastu can help a person puzzled by a recent change
in fortune or health following a move.
Water is the element of the Northeast. The Northeast
must always be lower and more open than the Southwest.
Depressions such as built in pools, ponds, valleys
or wells should not be placed in the negative
field as any hole or depression will increase
the energy of a field. To create a depression
in the South or Southwest is to invite death and
misery into the site. The natural flow of energy
is disrupted and it can be likened to the backing
up of a septic system, bringing untold suffering
to the inhabitants.
When the Northeast is lower and more open than
the Southwest, the site becomes very rich in energy
and the inhabitants experience great blessings.
Heavy objects decrease the energy of a field and
are to be in the negative field. A mountain or
a hill in the Southwest can bring great fortune
and good health. Heavy objects should not be placed
in the Northeast as no energy will be able to
enter the site. However wells, pools, and other
depressions are very good to have in the Northeast.
Mountains to the Southwest are beneficial, offering
health, wealth and happiness.
The directions in which one eats, sleeps and cooks,
are also very important.
One should not sleep in the Northeast, especially
if suffering from mental or emotional disturbances
or trying to conceive a child.
The Northeast corner of the house, both inside
and out should be very open. Some mistakenly put
alters or religious statues in the Northeast corner
as it is the "Place of God."
This is not a good idea as the Northeast can be
likened to the windpipe of the site. It does not
matter if one is choking to death on a religious
artifact or on a green bean. The result is the
same. It is best to keep everything out of the
Northeast corner of all the rooms, particularly
the main Northeast corner of the house and yard.
The Northeast strongly affects the emotions as
the element is water. Many mental disturbances
or emotional disturbances are indicative of a
defect in the Northeast quadrant of the plot or
house. Sometimes a defect in the Northeast may
result in cancer of the head or neck.
One should not sleep in the Northeast, especially
if ill as recovery, if any, will be slow. Children
who sleep in the Northeast quadrant of the house
may experience learning or behavioral difficulties.
If having difficulty conceiving a child, move
the bedroom to the Southwest.
The bedroom should be in the Southwest. The Northwest
quadrant would be the second choice. Southeast
bedrooms can bring great irritability and insomnia.
It is best to face east when studying. The kitchen
should be in the Southeast. Northwest is the second
choice. If a building or conglomeration of buildings
are causing too much of a disruption to an energy
field, sometimes natural disasters will occur.
It is very important to chose a site that is in
harmony with cosmic and bio-energies.
In Vastu, the concern is in how the structure
or compound affects the natural energy field,
not so much how the flow affects the inhabitants.
If one is not willing or able to build in harmony
with the natural order or to make the necessary
plot level corrections, the plot will one way
or another shake the inhabitants off, be it by
illness, bankruptcy, divorce, or even death. The
worse the Vastu or the less suited for habitability,
the more rapid the ill effects. |

This
will shed some light as to why a certain house
or site may appear to be jinxed or is repeatedly
up for sheriff sale, etc. In many cases, making
a few corrections to the plot level will alleviate
the problem for future generations. Feng
Shui (pronounced "fong shway")
is a Chinese philosophy about the relationship
between humans and their environment. It is
about how everything is connected and affects
your well-being. Based on the laws of nature,
its theories offer us a way of understanding
why certain things occur and how to create a
comfortable environment that lets us live and
work efficiently and progressively.
Developed over 5,000 years ago as a system of
how to survive and excel in harmony with nature,
feng shui theories came from logical assumptions
about natural causes and effects that endured
through time. Passed down from generation to
generation, only a select few understand the
phenomenon of feng shui in its entirety. The
complexity and correct application of feng shui
takes many years to learn from a master. The
ideas presented here offer some of the basic
concepts that explain the principles of feng
shui.
Feng shui is based on the Taoist philosophies
of nature: these include the Yin-Yang Theory,
Five Element Theory and the trigrams of the
trigrams of the Yi-Jing. Everything is made
of qi (pronounced chee) or energy which is organized
into five elements: metal, fire, water, wood
and earth and associated to the trigrams. Do
not think of the five elements as static physical
elements but energies like frequencies which
have direction and a unique wavelength. The
Five Element Theory explains how qi cycles in
nature, constantly changing from phase to phase,
since energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Consequently, everything around us is connected
and has the potential to affect our well-being.
Today, feng shui is a multi-disciplinary study
encompassing architecture, urban planning, geography,
astrology, electromagnetism, landscape design,
environmental psychology, and many others.
