Wellness design elements are built around the principles of natural beauty, energy symmetry and color balance, directly impacting and enhancing people’s health and well-being. Adopting the design principles of Vastu FengShui aligns with the circadian rhythms of the body and the five main elements that we are all made of.

Design for wellness, resorts and boutique hotels emphasize exercise and meditation by incorporating saunas and detox spas, as well as secluded green spaces where plants and elements of nature abound. Old doors carved with sunbeams and chakras, lotuses and flowers are full of positive energy. Wellness is a sensory experience, whether it’s a stream, a waterfall or the rustle of leaves, the more relaxing the experience, the more memorable it is.

Eco-friendly design brings nature indoors, beautiful lush plants that purify the air we breathe, and antique reclaimed wood cabinets and chai tables create a sustainability-conscious home. Feng Shui and Vaastu Shastra are sister sciences that are based on the ancient knowledge of the balance of energies between humans and the places they inhabit. The ancient Indian doors were studded with metals and beautifully carved in a unique way to create a vortex of energy. Vastu is the yoga of your home and aims to keep the energy flowing. Blocked energy creates stress that affects your health, career, finances, and limits your growth.

The alignment of the five elements earth, water, air, fire and space that make up our body with the universe is done with the corresponding directions. The northwest is the air element, which affects relationships and communication. When the air element is balanced, you experience harmony. The air element affects the nervous system and the mind. If this area of ​​the body is blocked, you could suffer from insomnia and depression. Sheer light blue curtains on the windows and a beautiful turquoise beaded sari tapestry create a gorgeous backdrop that welcomes guests with an outpouring of love.

The northeast is the water element, related to growth and prosperity. Our body is almost 60% water and this area affects our circulatory and lymphatic systems. A beautiful marble fountain against a wall lined with gold and blue Ganesh and Buddha wall sculptures decorates the room with blissful energy.

The southeast area of ​​your home is the fire element connected to your digestive system and energy levels. A balanced southeast keeps you alive and cheerful. An imbalance in this area causes food allergies and fatigue. Old wardrobes with old doors in rustic reds and warm patinas enhance this area as well as taking care of the harmful electromagnetic radiation that emanates from our devices.

Southwest is related to the earth element, which translates to family support and career. The lower back is the corresponding area of ​​the body. Incorporate the earth element with plants and warm taupe curtains. A beautiful brass Sri Yantra balances this energy zone as do the images of mountains.
