Ayurveda is another equally old and holistic science of wellness that originated in India. Here again, it closely follows the basic principles underlying vaastu and yoga. Ayurveda is not only about curing illnesses, it is also about a holistic healthy lifestyle that makes use of herbs to remove internal blockages, allow free flow of energies and restore balance much the same way that Vaastu gives directions on free flow of energy inside a home.
For yoga to be effective you must do it in a well ventilated, vaastu compliant room and the energy of the room as well as that generated during yoga will gain in synergy and imbue you with a sense of positive calm and energy. Balance is achieved inside a home when all the five elements and flow of energy is maintained. Similarly, in yoga, you achieve internal balance through asanas. For yoga to have maximum effect, practice it in the north-east side of your home that receives fresh air and sunlight. If you have a south-east corner free, it is also considered beneficial for yogic exercises and pranayam that will bring about mental, spiritual and physical empowerment.
For energy to flow freely inside your body, obstructions must be removed as well as toxins. For this you turn to ayurveda and use herbs that will restore, rejuvenate, revitalize and create internal harmony. Vaastu is ayurveda for home. The five elements inside you regain balance and you gain health. By practicing vaastu principles such as placement of objects, windows and doors as well as removing clutter, you allow energy to flow freely inside the home and this improves health of home. Vaastu recommend that your home should be well laid out consistent with its principles such as keeping North and Northeast for space, light and water, the south-east for fire and the south-west for Earth. This balances elements and results in healthy homes.
Man is the confluence of these three sciences: yoga, ayurveda and vaastu. Use these in relation to each other and a positive glow of holistic health pervades your home and your self. This is satvik life: pure, clean, simple and healthy for you and the environment.
