We spend much of our lives in a few familiar places: a bedroom, a desk, a living room, a workspace. Looking at those spaces with fresh attention can be a useful exercise in itself.
Vastu is a traditional Indian approach to thinking about space, orientation and the relationship between a place and the people who use it. In my practice, it is another perspective to explore alongside a person's everyday needs.
Start by noticing your space
Before discussing directions or a floor plan, think about how you actually use your home or office. Which areas feel comfortable? Where is it difficult to settle into a routine? What would you like the space to support?
- A place to concentrate on work.
- A quieter corner for reflection.
- A shared area for time with family.
These questions make the discussion personal and practical.
Bring context, not just a compass direction
A useful conversation considers the layout, the activities that happen in a space, and your circumstances. One general tip from a social video cannot account for every home or every family.
Explore before making changes
A consultation is a place to ask questions and understand the traditional perspective before deciding what is suitable for you. Your comfort, constraints and choices stay part of the discussion.
If you are curious about Vastu, start with one space and one thing you would like to understand about it.
