We've all heard of Feng Shui, however the newest trend in mindful home design is inspired by an ancient Indian science of architecture and design. Vatsu, as it is called, is a Vedic design system that incorporates harmony and honors nature as its main precepts.
Much like the philosophy of Feng Shui, Vatsu stresses the importance of the arrangement of furniture in rooms, the home's orientation to the sun, and the power of ornamentation. Vatsu's appreciation for nature is perhaps what has set its recent resurgence into motion. Today's movement towards green, sustainable households that are free of toxins fits right into the philosophy of Vatsu. In Sanskrit, the word Vatsu translates as energy, and through harmonizing the flow of your home, you will find a balance of energy.
If you'd like to learn more about how to balance the five elements of creation; fire, water, earth, air, and space, in your home; you can find Sherri Silverman's book - Vatsu: Transcendental Home Design in Harmony with Nature- in BODY's eco-boutique.
