Experience of Living in Vastu

New testimonial from SP living in Vedic City, IA

"I have been living in my new vastu home for a month now, and even though the exhaustion of moving and on-going construction, the experience is truly amazing.

This is a very small house, only 25 feet x 25 feet, with a half-story upstairs. However, it seems like no matter how much furniture or stuff I put into it, and even with three dogs and a housekeeper living upstairs, there is no sense of confinement. It feels spacious partly because Susanna Magregor's design is well done so the house is highly functional, but mostly because there is this mysterious quality, an actual palatable feeling of energy or presence in every space in the house, a positive sense of unboundedness.

What is here is powerful enough that it penetrated even the fog of overwork, and the wholeness is far greater than the sum of the parts that convinced me of it's validity. It's like nothing I've ever experienced outside of meditation. It seems to be healing. My recovery from the overworking actually seems to be going faster. My thinking really does seem
to be clearer. Difficult things seem to take less effort. Emotional strain seems less gripping. And I feel like I don't need to go anywhere. For most of my life there has been a chant inside me that says, "Go home, go home, go home..." and that chant has driven me to do things, accomplish, move on. But I haven't heard that since I moved in here, and yet things still seem to get accomplished, only with less sense of effort.

There is a real feeling of being at home like I've never had before, of just being present in a space that really feels like what Maharishi was probably referring to when he moved into his own MSV house and said of it, "Ah, clean unboundedness." It is as if the house is a reflection of my being, so I can, in fact, just BE here, where being in other buildings there are distracting energies.

I'm sorry if I sound like an advertisement but, for me, living in vastu really has been possibly the best and most astounding of Maharishi's programs and it just feels like an experience that needs to be reported."
