Рина Задвиль – Vastu for Harmony at Home and Success in Business (страница 4)

In addition to the 45 gods, there is a ruler who watches over each cardinal direction, and there is also the astrological influence of the stars and the signs of the Zodiac on each of the directions.

In the following table, divided into 9 equal parts corresponding to the 45 magnetic fields, buildings are planned according to Vastu.

The table is placed over the building plan in accordance with the directions of the compass, so that all places in the house perfectly correspond to their functions.

Colors of the Planets:

Sun – white.

Saturn – blue.

Mercury – green.

Mars – pink, coral red.

Jupiter – various shades of yellow, cream.

Rahu – various shades of green and brown.

Ketu – gray.

Venus – silver, white.

Moon – white.

Center (ether) – white or very light shades.

If one of the parts of the house is cut off, then problems will arise here corresponding to this place and to the planets responsible for it, as well as to the rulers.

Northeast – clarity of mind.

East–northeast – pastime and pleasure.

East – friendly connections.

East–southeast – restlessness and busyness.

Southeast – fire, money, and liquids.

South–southeast – strength and confidence.

South – relaxation and fame.

South–southwest – expenses, spending, elimination.

Southwest – partnership relationships (marriage) and abilities.

West–southwest – upbringing and saving.

West – calmness and earnings.

West–northwest – depression and cleansing from poisons.

Northwest – support from banks.

North–northwest – attraction and sex.

North – growth and opportunities.

North–northeast – immunity and health.

In addition to what we learned in the first section of the book, Vastu Shastra also has five elements that influence the movement of energies between the magnetic fields: water, fire, ether, air, earth.

The energy of each element moves in such a way that each element transfers energy to another element, and as a result, the energies pass through the entire building.

This occurs in the following way:

water → fire → ether → air → earth → and returns to water…

Ayurveda is the Vedic system of medicine that came from Ancient India. The planning and design of buildings influence our health, and each of the elements affects different parts of our body.

That is, if the energies of the elements are negative, blocked, and unharmonious, this leads to problems and illnesses connected with the organs related to those elements.

Water – kidneys and urinary bladder.

Air – liver and gallbladder.

Fire – heart and small intestine.

Earth – stomach and spleen.

Ether – lungs and intestines.

Elements, coloring, shapes, weight, and symmetry

In connection with what was discussed earlier, questions arise:

What should be done to create harmony between the elements? How can one avoid creating energy blockages that lead to various problems?

For example, the fire element is created with the help of the air element; the water and ether elements spoil the fire element; and the fire element creates the earth element.

If there is no balance in the process of creating the fire element, or any other element, there will be a lack of harmony and balance in the building.

For example, the fire element is created with the help of the air element; the water and ether elements destroy the fire element; and the fire element creates the earth element.

Therefore, if the flow of energies from the water element toward the fire element is blocked, a lack of harmony in the building will be created.

It is important to know that each element has a color and a shape that influence the movement of energies from place to place.

If a certain color and shape are used in the wrong location, the energies will become blocked and will begin to act negatively, creating various problems for a person related to that place in the house.

To choose the correct color that matches one’s taste and the specific place, one must first understand the meaning of each color.

Red – inspiration, understanding, motivation, action, vigor, love, passion, energy, sales, hunger, anger. Too much red can lead to stress.

Black – contemplation, cleverness, depth of thought, wealth, strength, mystery, elegance, power, maturity. It is not recommended to use too much black in order not to create a “heavy” appearance and not to attract negative energies.

White – calmness, balance, harmony, cheerfulness, clarity, naivety, purity, and simplicity. White balances the energies of other colors.

Orange – health, attraction, uniqueness, thirst, wealth, childlike qualities, happiness, and food. Should be used in moderation.

Yellow – support, joy, childlike qualities, cheerfulness, warmth, energy, optimism, renewal, and money. Should be used in moderation.

Green – calmness, naturalness, envy, balance, rest, creativity, renewal. This color soothes and removes restlessness.

Brown – joy, happiness, diligence, hard work, trust, protection, concentration, care. This color brings joy and happiness.

It is recommended to use wooden furniture or furniture with wooden covering for good distribution of beneficial energies.

Thus, it is recommended to use less heavy metal furniture, as it cannot retain beneficial energies.

Blue – trust, cleverness, calm, naturalness, stability, strength, and communication. Excessive use of blue gives a cold appearance.

Purple – wealth, mystery, arrogance, prestige, childlike qualities, creativity, sadness, psychology, studying, prayer, and work. Better to use this color in moderation, without overusing it.

Pink – softness, emotion, tenderness, sensitivity, affection, love, and passion. Pink adds beneficial energy to a room.

Beige – a mixture of brown and white gives calmness, peace, simplicity, elegance, clarity, warmth, softness, happiness, and harmony. It is considered the most auspicious color in Vastu Shastra.
