 Improving Health We live in a stress-filled time where rapidly changing technology is rapidly changing our lives. Many of today’s so-called “creature comforts” rob us of a deeper comfort that once accompanied a more manageable lifestyle. Far too many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and battling with stress. The human body is programmed to handle a certain amount of tension and anxiety. But too many of us now live in a state of chronic stress, which makes us candidates for strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, sexual dysfunction (including infertility and miscarriage), anxiety disorders and depression. Chronic stress is linked to at least three of the top 10 causes of death: heart disease, cerebrovascular disease (strokes), and suicide. So if you accept the commonly held belief that stress is an unavoidable part of life, you are dancing with danger. The majority of us attribute our stress to our struggle to meet the demands of our job and the demands of our personal relationships. But there’s another frequently overlooked factor. Our home and workplace can be sources of discomfort, rather than comfort. Our home and workplace can fray our nerves, rather than nurture us. If you walk into your home and there’s no place where you can sit in serenity, if you walk into your home and find it impossible to unwind, if you walk into your home and it doesn’t feel the slightest bit welcoming, then your home is designed for stress. If you go to work and feel unconnected to your workspace, if you feel tired or tense as soon as you sit down at your desk, if you gulp down cup after cup of coffee in order to stimulate your brain, then your work environment is designed for stress. Vastu Living helps eliminate the stress that is attached to these environments. Vastu, the Vedic science of design and architecture, recognizes that harmony within and without comes from observing our proper relationship with every space we inhabit. In a nutshell, before we can achieve internal peace, we need to find external peace—we need to make positive use of the power of space. Vastu Living shows us how to do this by designing according to vastu’s philosophy of holism. We create interiors that consciously show respect for all creation. This respect naturally extends to the self. We design spaces that honor our needs and protect us from harm, including the harm that comes from stress. |
