Vastu and feng shui

Vastu shastra and feng shui are both ancient and sacred bodies of knowledge revealing the connection between humans and the dwellings they inhabit. In vastu shastra, as well as in feng shui, the focus is on human's well-being, which can only be achieved when we are in harmony with nature and the Universal flow of energy. There are certainly many similarities between feng shui and vastu shastra, after all, both systems are based on the knowledge of the flow of Universal energy called Chi in Chinese culture and Prana in Hindu. Vastu shastra, sometimes also called Vastu Vidya - vidya meaning science - is part of the Vedas. Vastu shastra and feng fhui is based on the harmony of 5 elements and it is science of construction of houses and temples and system of harmonizing the human existence with the surrounding environment.
