vastufy brings the ancient science of Vastu into your home and onto your phone, for you to create a healing, healthy space where you feel calm and happy. Vastu (meaning dwelling) is a traditional Indian system of architecture for buildings and uses principles to rectify energy imbalances, by offering guidelines for arranging objects and furnishings within them. Much in the same way as Feng Shui looks to create balance with the natural world in interior spaces. Vastu consciously divides up our homes into zones that represent different aspects of our lives - relationships, finance, success, career, happiness and health, and can highlight areas we are energetically neglecting. It focuses on aligning with the laws of nature, welcoming in energy from the Sun and honoring the five elements: earth, air, space, fire and water, whilst adhering to the fundamental directions of North, East, South and West. Vastu’s goal is to create harmony between people and their environments and to manage energy within a space. Rooms, furniture, objects and appliances are situated to correspond with and maximize the respective elements and their particular benefits for existing and planned buildings. Within minutes the vastufy app will give you a ‘score’ for your property based on the placement/direction of each of your rooms, according to Vastu principles. If the design or use of your space is not in accordance with the principles outlined in Vastu, it can result in a flaw or an imperfection and can negatively impact the quality of life, which lowers your score. Practical remedies then guide you so can improve and increase your Vastu score and to harness the maximum potential of natural energies and combat the flaws. By making a few simple adjustments we can transform our homes into deeply sacred spaces that offer us positivity, support and wellbeing. The remedies work at a subtle subconscious level and work towards creating harmony and balance in all areas of life to keep our physical, mental and emotional energies as clear and as free-flowing as possible. You can check your own property as well as vastufy the properties of your friends and family, and your businesses too. Use vastufy to: - Determine strong and weak zones of your property - Conduct simple remedies to impact strengths/weaknesses - Eliminate negative defects and enhance positive effects - Implement simple shifts and tweaks to increase your Vastu score - Understand the A-Z of Vastu directions and their significance - Live a more harmonious, positive, happy life vastufy helps you to live in a space that harnesses the natural positive energies available to us from nature.
