plot luck

Energy in flat open spaces is different from energy in mountainous areas. Similarly, energy in a valley is different from energy on a plateau. This means that each type of a land form has a specific type of energy associated with it. A simple approach to the art of Feng Shui and Vaastu would be in terms of providing the right plot levels, set backs, proper layout and allocation of rooms. To ensure that a space is filled with good energy and is vibrant, the living space has to be balanced and it must have the right décor. Adapting Feng Shui, this can be achieved in a lot simpler way. The primary aim in adapting Feng Shui is to help achieve a more balanced, prosperous and healthy way of living for the occupants. By applying Feng Shui techniques and guidelines, you will clear your home of unwanted (or negative) energy while allowing the good energy to increase it’s presence and bring in a higher quality of life which is more balanced. Space is the fundamental source and energy for all things, for their origination and for their existence. Feng Shui and Vaastu helps to diminish the problems of the occupants that relates to wealth, health, prosperity and happiness just by making a slight changes to your interior or exterior building configurations. By listening to the earth, we become attuned to the energy of the universe, for this energy is manifested. In the air as wind, on the earth as water and land, and in the sky as stars. The earth is an entity animated by energy,                              energy flows in it, through it, and around it. Energy in flat open spaces is different from energy in mountainous areas. Similarly, energy in a valley is different from energy on a plateau.  This means that each type of a land form has a specific type of energy associated with it. A simple approach to the art of Feng Shui and Vaastu would be in terms of providing the right plot levels, set backs, proper layout and allocation of rooms. How do we go about this? The basic understanding to allocate rooms in the right sectors is a step after getting to know the interpretation of the magnetic fields and compass directions. Presuming that one has got to know the axis of the plot and located the cardinal magnetic directions, it becomes a lot easier to design a home as per Feng Shui and  Vaastu tenets. In order for energy to flow powerfully and for your space to support your mental and emotional well-being, the clutter must be cleared. The key is not just eliminating clutter from your environment, but from your mind and heart too. If you experience a situation of being plagued by inconsistency in your thoughts, actions and lack of concentration, then Feng Shui for your mind is very essential and could improve the situation.
