Vastu Shastra in Wellness Retreat
Keywords:
Vastu Shastra, Wellness Retreats, Natural Elements, Built Environments, Holistic HealthAbstract
Vastu Shastra, the traditional Indian architectural science, has a very great role in the design of wellness retreats to harmonize natural elements with built environments. The science aligns structures with cardinal directions and balances the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space for better positive energy flow. This positively provides a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere that improves physical, mental, and spiritual health. The incorporation of Vastu principles within wellness retreats brings them into an affinity with nature, thus enhancing the health, relaxation, and inner peace of the guests.
