Vastu Vidhya or Sthapatya Veda is the ancient Vedic knowledge of how the forms and surroundings affect us and thus how we should construct and furnish buildings. Like much of Vedic knowledge, it has been revived and structured under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Our living environment affects us more than you might think. It is, of course, about having natural and life-promoting building materials. But also directions, proportions, location and positions are essential. Modern research confirms, for example, that our brain works differently depending on which direction we face. Some crucial points in Vastu Vidhya are as follows:
• All buildings should be aligned with the cardinal points. This is how they were built a long time ago, even in Sweden, and old churches, for example, are always right in relation to the cardinal points.
• The entrance to the building should be towards the east or north.
• The rooms in the houses should be positioned according to the sun's movements in the sky. Thus, for example, it is good to have the kitchen in the southeast because the sun is in the southeast in the morning, and that is when you should cook your main meal.
• Our bed should be oriented so that we sleep facing east or south and, above all, never facing north.
• On the other hand, sitting facing north or east is good when working.
You can use the last two pieces of advice in your current home as well. And you can keep the others in mind if you consider changing homes. The best thing is to get the help of an architect trained in Maharishi Vastu Vidhya and build a new house that fully follows all the principles and thus provides an optimal living environment.
