Vastu - Vidya

Vastu originated in India and is the holistic science of design and architecture. Vastu, which predates and inspired feng shui, includes yoga and ayurveda, the ancient science of wellness and longevity. While yoga and ayurveda focus on the body to improve our well-being, vastu focuses on your immediate surroundings to achieve this same goal. Think of vastu as yoga for the home.

The design of your home exerts a considerable influence on your well-being. A poorly designed space can increase our stress, decrease our work productivity and disrupt our sleep.

Vastu helps you design healthy spaces that match your biorhythms to the rhythms around you, also your holistic relationship with nature, as well as your individuality and special needs. By observing these three principles, Vastu environments increase your well-being and the well-being of your guests. Your home connects to you on a deeply satisfying level. Vastu creates a home for your soul.

Analyzing Yourself and Your Home

The ayurveda testing system will help you determine your mind-body type or dosha. With this information, you can make healthy choices in the design of your home.

When you read each of the questions, don't think that one answer is better than another. Accurate test results come from honest reflection. If you truly believe that more than one answer to a question applies to you, list them both.

If you share your bedroom with a partner, this person should also take the test. If you both discover that you have different doshas, Vastu factors these differences into the organization and design of your space.
