The Tortoise Story!

Feng Shui being an ancient science is full of wonderful secrets which are extremely beneficial for enriching our day to day lives. You must be wondering, what is this all about? Well, we came across the amazing benefits keeping a tortoise at home can bring and we are simply besotted with the idea. The plus point is that this does not need a lot of work; you just need to get a tortoise home and place it properly. The best part is that they look good too!

You can get a tortoise made of resin, mud, metal, glass, crystal or even wood. Since tortoises have a long life span, they are believed to bring the gift of long life. However, a few Feng Shui rules need to be kept in mind before placing one in your house. If you have a tortoise made of resin or mud, place it in the north-east, centre or south-west of your house. If you have one made of metal, then place it in the north or north-west and those made of crystals should be kept in the south-west and north-west.

One more thing to keep in mind is to keep your tortoise always facing the east and it is always good to keep it in your living room because this can also help you in increasing your family harmony. Always keep your tortoise immersed in water and in a dish with some depth of the same material as the tortoise. You can also add a few colourful stones as it will help you bring harmony, peace, prosperity and long life into your home. Time to get a tortoise home!

Music for your Soul!

Music is something that creates a soothing ambience; it also has the power to activate the healing mechanism of the body and is known to be a healer. In Reiki, it is used very beautifully for the purpose of healing multiple ailments. Reiki has this range of serene and truly relaxing music which imparts the listeners with good health and a radiant glow. Reiki believes that we can enter into the realm of peace that music creates and this aids us with relaxation, rejuvenation and recovery.

According to Reiki, surrendering to soulful music can help you in treating disorders like stress, grief, depression, schizophrenia and also helps in diagnosing other mental disorders. The secret of healing through Reiki lies in the fact that music has the power to touch our heart and soul and can affect us physically, emotionally and spiritually. Music has been used for long to make positive changes to the mood and emotional states of the mentally ill and now it is used in oncology units, preoperative and postoperative care units, paediatric, obstetric and cardiac units.

This has only been possible because people are becoming more and more receptive to the therapeutic and healing properties of music and this different approach of Reiki is being lauded widely. Music is a powerful way of healing patients and the fact that it can evoke emotional and spiritual responses works in its favour. One of the major reasons why Reiki is heavily in favour of music therapy is because it is safe, non-invasive and is easy to administer with the best part being that it aligns your physical, emotional and spiritual senses for holistic wellbeing.

Health Benefits of Vaastu!

The goodness of Vaastu Shastra is never-ending and there seems to be no problem whose solution is not available in this ancient science. Our only true wealth is our health and even Vaastu confirms to this old adage. One of the important reasons for ill health or prolonged illness could be a problem with the placement of things around the house, says Vaastu. A few changes here and there in your lifestyle as advised by Vaastu can bring about a very positive change in your general health.

Firstly, you could start by sleeping with your head towards the south which will help in improving your overall health. You should also make sure to not keep heavy furniture in the middle of the house and keep this position as empty as possible. For your peace of mind, make sure that no light beams are running across the centre of the house as they are disturbing to the mind.

To maintain good health, you can also light a candle daily in the south east direction of your house. It will also help to burn a candle in the room of a sick person every day in order to improve their health. You should also make sure that you are facing the east or the north while having your meals. Finally, always make sure to keep your bed three inches from the wall. Add these simple touches to your home to enjoy good health!
