Dogs
are family members and should be treated as such. The design of your home has a
dramatic affect on their health and well-being. When your environment is in
harmony with nature, it will have a positive influence. If not, behavior al and
health problems will show up in your animals in subtle and not so subtle ways.
By applying the environmental science of Vastu Shastra, you can create harmony
and balance in your home that will support your dogs. Vastu Shastra was written
some 7,000-10,000 years ago in India by rishis, or men of great wisdom. Over a
period of thousands of years, these wise scholars studied and chronicled the
strong influence that the physical environment has on all living things. Through
these observations, an exact science was formulated, which established the
principles behind some of the world’s most enduring structures.
My
wife and I have experienced firsthand the benefits that some simple corrections
using Vastu can have on dogs. Our dog had a variety of skin and bladder control
problems. Our cat was aggressive and territorial, fighting with the dog and
bringing into the house anything she could carry. It always surprised us how she
could get adult rabbits and baby crows through the cat door, but she managed!
Small but effective changes using Vastu, reduced these problems significantly.
According to the science of Vastu Shastra, all five elements (earth, water,
fire, air and space) have an impact on your dogs. Vastu balances the five
elements and promotes harmony within the environment. When there is harmony,
stress is reduced and animals can find their equilibrium. Due to their size,
dogs are far more susceptible to the consequences of poor air quality and indoor
pollutants than their caretakers. Flooring, decorating materials, mattresses,
molds, toxic gases, pesticides and electronic equipment can all degrade the air
you and your dog breath, even if you are seemingly unaffected.
These
are examples of the dangers lurking in your home, unbeknownst to you. In this
situation, what you can’t see can harm both you and your dogs. Knowledge is
power. Becoming aware of what you can do to protect your dogs is the best
preventative measure there is. We can’t emphasize enough the importance of
reading all labels carefully to determine the safety of any materials that you
use in your home.
Another factor that we’ve seen affect dogs as well as humans is Geopathic
Stress. This occurs when radiation follows lines of underground utilities and
streams. Electrical wiring in the home can also disrupt the balance of the five
elements if improperly placed. Such conditions have been scientifically proven
to influence the health and disposition of your dogs. Indoor environmental
testing for geopathic stress can build your peace of mind and protect you and
your dogs.
There
are several things you can do yourself to make changes in your environment for
positive results. Here are some actions you can take today that will make a
world of difference:
Fresh
air is extremely important for dogs. Many houses are so tightly built that
household pollutants build up in the interior air if windows are not open.
Having a window open, even a quarter of an inch, will help eliminate toxins that
can accumulate and circulate in the air. Also, be aware that dogs like the room
temperature a little cooler than we do. Too much heat (fire) can make them
lethargic and shorten their life span. Changing their water twice a day is also
essential since water absorbs many of the air born toxins. Make sure to give
them purified water rather than tap water. Tap water can contain bacteria and
chemicals that aggravate a variety of sensitivities.
These
are just a few steps that you can take to create proactive support for your
dogs. According to Vastu Shastra, all five elements need to be considered and
balanced properly to experience the full advantages of Vastu. We suggest having
your home analyzed by a qualified Vastu professional. Because they are sensitive
by nature, you will be delighted by how quickly dogs respond to an environment
that has been balanced in harmony with Nature using the science of Vastu Shastra. |
