SCIENTIFIC VASTU FOR CHOOSING COLOURS
..............................................................
Colors are known to influence the human mind and body. Colors have the ability to either depress or exhilarate and play a very important role in our health and happiness.

Our body absorbs color energy through the vibration each color gives off. Through color, we receive all the energies we need to maintain a healthy body, mind, and soul. When something goes wrong or is out of balance, we can strengthen our energy centers through the conscious use of color. Healing by exposing a diseased body to the right colored light, is known as Colour Therapy, and was the first type of treatment therapy used by man. So even in ancient times, colors played an important role in Vastu Shastra.

Light consists of the seven primary color energies: VIBGYOR or Violet. Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. Each color is associated with a particular part of our body and will affect us differently emotionally, physically, and mentally. It has been scientifically confirmed that colors affect us, though we may not be aware of it. Our mood, health, happiness are all affected by the colors around us. For example, at times we like wearing bright colors, while sometimes we prefer to wear dull ones. This is why Colour Therapy has become popular today. Here I have explained the effects of different colors on us:

SCIENTIFIC VASTU FOR DIRECTIONS:
..............................................................

Vastu Shastra recommends the use of specific colors in each of the cardinal directions. This is because each direction is governed by a planet which is in turn represented by a specific color. Scientifically this can be explained by the fact that we perceive color only because of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight is different in different directions. Hence it is preferable to have certain colors in each direction.

It is advisable to use the recommended colors for different directions to enhance good luck, health, and wealth.
