You must have noticed many times when you enter a shop and a certain product catches your attention instantly. You end up purchasing that particular product even though you had never planned to buy it. Infect, soon after, you wonder why you bought it, when you did not need it in the first place!

 

On the other hand, sometimes you enter a shop with the intention of buying a certain product. You even find it but come out of the shop not buying it. Later you wonder why you did not purchase the product even though it is what you had intended to purchase.

 

Similarly, many homes, although beautifully designed and carefully maintained , make you feel oppressed , negative, and unwell or just generally uncomfortable, while some which are simple, architecturally plain and simple, but when you enter, it make you feel uplifted and joyful. More importantly, they make you feel at peace with yourself and comfortable in your surroundings. The primary reason why you experience different feelings in different space or buildings is there violation or compliance of certain laws of nature. This phenomenon has been summed up as Vastu shastra.
