Ways To Improve Vastu of Existing Home Without Making Architectural Changes

In today's world, each one of us is in a race of being successful and powerful. Being fueled by positive energy and supportive house/workplace are the key ingredients of a blissful and successful life. And here, Vastu plays an important role. Scientific studies conducted in this area have proven that positive surroundings and good vibes do maximum contribution to the success of individuals. Though most people curse their stars for the discontent and unhappiness; there are other forces working towards your unsuccessful life that cause you mental stress and bad health. These forces are caused when you go against the Vastu principles.

As per Mahha Guru Gauravv Mittal, the meaning of Vastu is dwelling, which is the home for god and humans. Vastu Shastra is based on various energies that come from the atmosphere like solar energy from the sun, cosmic energy, lunar energy, thermal energy, magnetic energy, light energy, and wind energy. These energies can be balanced to enhance peace, prosperity, and success. If a house is made according to the Vastu principles, the inmates enjoy all the happiness in life but if it is against principles, it will be a place for all sorts of problems, worries, and restlessness. Vastu considered the interplay of various forces of nature involving the five elements of Earth, water, wind, fire and ether and strives to maintain equilibrium as these elements influence, guide and change the living styles of not only human beings but every living being on earth.
