The entire universe, whether it is stars, planets, moons including our body is made up of five elements and each of them are governed by energies. These energies flow in a sequence that are controlled by 5 elements. Vastu is nothing but the science of balancing of these five elements in an appropriate proportion, to keep the residents of the house in perfect harmony to opt for right decisions, peace and happiness.
These five elements are Water, Air, Fire, Earth, and Space. There is life on the earth because of the presence of these five elements. “Everything is connected through energy”, this is the key principle of Vastu.
The interaction of these five elements works in two cycles, one of creation and other of destruction.
CYCLE OF CREATION:
Water creates Air, also called wood. Air helps fire to burn. Fire results in Ash and creates Earth. Earth hardens to metal, also called Space. Space evaporates and creates Water. Here, each element helps or enhances the progress of the other.
CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION (CONTROL):
Water puts out the fire. Fire melts the metal and space in turn cuts the wood. Wood separates the Earth and Earth blocks the Water.
Each of the element is interconnected and Vastu Shastra is the study of aligning all these elements to absorb the positive vibrations and energy inflow within houses and offices which leads to success, harmony, peace and good health.
