Spiritual Architecture: Vaastu

2007-01-21T12:11:00.000-08:00

Vaastu means spiritual architecture. It was first written about around the sixth century CE in ancient Indian Sanskrit literature.

Vaastu is a very ancient set of guidelines laid down to improve the way we live. It covers just about every aspect of house design and construction, including decor and decoration, furnishings and fabrics, siting of rooms, structure of the building, location of the building, direction the house should face, and size and dimensions of the building. In fact there is no aspect of where and how we live that isn't covered.

Strictly speaking, Vaastu is an architectural science - it applies to how and where you build your house. The principles of Vaastu are taken into consideration before the first spade of earth is dug or the first brick is laid.

What is wabi-sabi

Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the nature cycle of growth, dacay, and death. It's simple, slow, and uncluttered it reveres authenticity above all.
Wabi-sabi is aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.
