How Vastu works

Vastu Shastra is all about energy, creating a space in a built area that is full of positive energy. The source of this energy is from the cosmic space or Brahmam or Universal Consciousness., which is the source of all the material world. It is the unmanifest pure energy. When this energy is bought into the built space using the Vastu principles, the house or built area we stay in becomes in tune with the universal energy, giving us positivity, peace, and prosperity – means good health, positive and creative thinking for all residents, good relationships.
