5.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as a personal consulting, December 3, 2002

This review is from: The Power of Vastu Living: Welcoming Your Soul into Your Home and Workplace (Paperback)

I took a 7 week long (2hours a week) workshop with the author and read this book during the workshop and after. The book is almost like having Kathy inside your home to figure out how to make Vastu work for you! It's amazing the changes that have occured within my roommate and my sense of ease now that my house is vastu perfected :) I even began to bring it into the workplace and the changes were amazing. Before I left my job I took my meditation belongings home and the energy around me and throughout my small workplace immediately became less friendly. If you feel like you're looking for something and you're constantly running away from your apartment read this book! It will help you recognize exactly how to make your home a sanctuary for yourself, animals, family, and even roommates! Not to mention guests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Vastu!!!, November 17, 2002

By 

Carly Lee Davis (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of Vastu Living: Welcoming Your Soul into Your Home and Workplace (Paperback)

I practice yoga--seriously. I just heard about vastu and bought this book after someone told me it was the best book to read on this ancient science. I enjoyed it immensely and found it so logical to follow and understand. I've started to re-organize much of my apartment. Already, it looks so much nicer and really does make me feel much more comfortable and calm. I highly recommend this book to everyone--especially people who do yoga--the two go together for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who knew if could be so simple to change your life?, August 1, 2002

By 

Thomas Parr (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of Vastu Living: Welcoming Your Soul into Your Home and Workplace (Paperback)

Who knew you could change your life so much by simply moving your bed or computer? I couldn't recommend a better book to learn how to improve your health, your job, even your romantic life. Forget all those male/female books that try getting you to color your hair or spend crazy amounts of time at coffee shops. This book lets you know the most significant changes come from within.
