Vastu Shastra is an Indian system of architecture based on ancient texts that describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry.
The designs aim to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilizing geometric patterns (yantra), symmetry, and directional alignments.
The principles of Vastu can be seen in enduring structures around the world – the Greek Parthenon, the Roman Coliseum, the Egyptian Pyramids, the Mayan Pyramids, and the Taj Mahal. All of these structures contain the architectural principles inherent in the science of Vastu.
Practicing Vastu reduces the environmental stress that contributes to life’s struggles. Let’s look at five easy steps to incorporate Vastu principles into your home office and meetings.
Step 1 – Increase financial success using yantras
Yantras are a visual representation of a mantra or sound that resonates in the atmosphere and creates a specific effect. A yantra is similar to a radio being tuned into a specific station that, in this case, represents prosperity. The Shree Lakshmi Yantra is the yantra for financial success. It attracts abundance, prosperity, peace, and harmony. Research has shown that its energetic effect is 70 times greater than that of a pyramid. By placing the Shree Lakshmi Yantra in your office, you will have access to the energy of prosperity as well as a powerful ally.
Step 2 – Where to sit for maximum creativity
The east is the source of positive creative solar energy. Many studies have shown that neurons in the thalamus section of the brain fire differently depending on which way you face. This can affect how you think, as well as your ability to focus creatively on tasks without becoming fatigued.
By facing east while seated at your desk you will align yourself with this positive energy. It will enable you to get into a more creative and productive zone.
Step 3 – How to set up your desk to boost efficiency
Arrange your desk so that it is clear of clutter. A messy desk is not conducive to successful or creative work. Keep only things that are immediately needed on your desk. Then organize a file for projects or active accounts that you can draw from, work on, and then put away. Better yet, set up your computer desktop in this fashion, and see how quickly you will get rid of distracting clutter. Your space matters!
Step 4 – The foremost tip for better meetings
As we mentioned above, the direction you face has a great influence on the outcome of what you want to accomplish. Success will be maximized by facing north or east in relation to others in a meeting. The advantage is yours. Studies have shown that positive magnetic energy coming from the north helps you think more clearly and make better decisions. The positive solar energy coming from the east helps you be more creative. What a winning combination!
The shape of the table where you hold meetings also has an impact. Rectangular or square-shaped tables promote fewer disagreements than round or oval ones. This is because rectangular or square shapes have a stabilizing influence on the nervous system.
Step 5 – Correct placement of electrical equipment to maximize longevity
The southeast is the direction of the fire element. Electrical equipment is associated with fire. All electric equipment and electronics should be placed in the southeast area of a room or office to optimize success and longevity.
Have even more success with breathwork and meditation
One practice that I use to increase success is SKY Breath Meditation. Research has shown that a SKY practice results in greater mental focus and significantly reduces stress. Additionally, participants report more life satisfaction, healthier blood pressure, improved immunity, more creativity, and better problem-solving.
