5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly Beautiful and Very Helpful!, Nov 10 2007

By Miriam Austin - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Vastu: Transcendental Home Design in Harmony With Nature (Hardcover)

This book is stunningly beautiful! I want to move right into the rooms, homes, and gardens featured in this book. The photographs alone would make this book worth owning. But on top of the great beauty, the book is filled with helpful information on how to improve our homes so we can feel more grounded, serene, and joyful. I have used some feng shui techniques in the past, which is why I was interested in this title. I made a few changes recommended in the book and have experienced an enhanced feeling of well being. The biggest change has been in our bedroom. My husband, who has historically been a poor sleeper, and I changed the direction of our bed. He is now sleeping much better and sometimes even sleeps through the night, rather than waking up 3 or 4 times as he used to. I also moved the extra books out of our bedside table, which makes the bedroom feel more peaceful even though the books could not be seen where they were. Next, I plan to investigate "yantras," which the author recommends for making our homes more sacred and correcting problems that we cannot correct because of the limitations of our homes or budgets. In summary, I highly recommend this book and recommend that you use some of the Vatsu principles. You will definitely feel the benefits!

By Simplify Life "Professional Organizer" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Vastu: Transcendental Home Design in Harmony With Nature (Hardcover)

Wow, what a book. I was happily surprised to find this book, being one of the better books on vastu, i have read a few on this subject. It also covers a lot more than just vastu, very happy with the incorporation of ayurveda, etc. Love the layout, easy to read, very well done. Fabulous book!

5.0 out of 5 stars "THE" book I was looking for.., Feb 13 2008

By R. diciacco "Robbiegirl" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Vastu: Transcendental Home Design in Harmony With Nature (Hardcover)

Finally, I had purchased a few Vastu books to enhance our home as well as to plan designs for a new home in the future. This book answers all the questions in a sensible, practical and logical format.
There are many resources as well. The photos are beautiful and it seems to put it all together.
Highly recommended.
