THE COLOURS & VAASTU

Colours have a very important role in our well being as they symbolize the PRINCIPLE OF LIVING IN HARMONY WITH THE EARTH. Colours pacify our mind and stimulate energy. The colours have significant effect on our mood, health and happiness.

Harmony and balance are desirable in our physical and emotional makeup and in our environment. Out of the balance and harmonizing of positive and negative forces arises energy, the most essential feature of life. Life and human energy is greatly affected by colour.

Colour is a manifestation of light and energy, a good colour can depend on your mood of the day. If you select a colour that harmonizes with your energy then you will flourish. If the colour clashes with your mood, that colour will irritate you. Whatever we look upon and see through our eyes will, through our optic nerve, send sensory signals to our body, to react to what our eyes see.
