Garden
Your garden
must be planed with same attention you pay to the inside of the building, If it
is to contribute to the balance and harmony of your home. Observing the rules
of Vaastu in desigining your garden will enable you to balance the positive and
negative energies of you property . This is because buildings, with their wood,
concrete, steel, bricks and other solid construction material are negative,
while earth, plant, flowers and pond are positive. The plant in the garden
should be evergreen so that it will provide uninterrupted protection. They
should be healthy and green if this is not, they can attract negative energy
with their sickly nature.
Fountain with
flowing water, create and abundance good positive energy. The movement of water
attracts energy, the flow of water symbalizes cash flow and does much to
encourage prosperity. Pools and ponds are excellant for positive energy
especially if they contain large healthy fishes. Gold or silver fish representing
gold and silver coins are important prosperity symblos.
If you have a pool or a pond it should curve
towards your building so that the water appears to embrace it. In this position
the water will protect that building. If it curves, away, the water will fall
and unlucky arrow with negative energy will point to your direction. Mix,
shapes and sizes of plants in your garden so that no one tree or plant is
grouping over the other. This is an elements of balance.
Paths should
curved gently through your garden for a natural movement of energy. But they
should never be twisted or spiral as these shapes suggest snakes in any garden.
A densly planted garden flowers will be less interesting to the eye than one
with few intersting plants. Above all your garden should look as natural as
possible. Good plants keeping the light closed for e the house is very
important than its overall appearance. By attracting and helping to circulate
good positive energy, a plesant exterior to your home will be an important
element in the overall quality of your home positive energy.
The forces that
play a roll in shapping our life are first comes destiny, 2nd is luck, 3rd is
Vaastu principles 4th is philanthrophy & 5th is education. By putting
Vaastu Principles to work in your home, you will be assisting your family in
acheieving financial, acadamic, or relationship. Using the principles of Vaastu
you will make your home a welcome places for guests and first step towards
philanthorapy will pay off.n
