Q. What is a Healthy Building?
A. A holistic design takes into account a great many interrelated factors. The key to this is the 'feel good' approach which starts by looking at your lifestyle and how you will use the building. How will you use the rooms in different seasons, and at what times of day? Ultimately, everything affects everything else and so must be looked at as a whole. The pattern of energy consumption relies both on the orientation of daily activities with solar paths in addition to the insulation ratings and building materials.
A. We and our lives - the way we connect, learn and give, all are easily influenced by the spaces we occupy. Spaces provide a connection between mind and cosmos. They reflect our consciousness and communicate with our feelings and thoughts. So, they can bring us together and also separate us from each other. By using powerful tools to positively alter the dynamics of these spaces, we alter our reality. The way we think, behave, perform and make decisions gets very easily affected by the collective consciousness of the new, transformed space.
A. The studies include application of construction practices for healthy, natural homes and workplaces; freeing indoor toxins, indoor pollution and electromagnetic radiation to enhance user well-being and holistic interactions to regenerate sustainability.
Q. How can Bio-Baulogie methods be used?
Q. What does living in harmony with nature mean? Where does energy flow from?
A. It means understanding the laws of nature and creation - the primordial forms of circles and squares in architectural language. The very first law of nature is - 'Motion is always cyclic - never linear!' Energy flows from the sun - the east. So, follow the sun. Rise up with the sun when its radiation is positive with ultra-violet rays helping the brain cells to work their best. Spaces oriented to align the main activities with the sun makes an individual grow.
Our body ’s response to daylight is another important clue as to how we can harness the power of biophilia. Daylight affects both our eye functions and our inherent circadian rhythms. Light therapy works by exposing the retina to specific wavelengths of light to treat imbalances of circadian rhythm —the daily cycle of hormonal activity observed in many
Q. Space planning and adaptation ides - why and how can they help?

Q. Why are rest and activity areas important?
A. "The best advice you can ever give or receive is to be yourself." In today's spiritual supermarket, ask yourself just one thing - do you get to feel that feeling to remain yourself? Does any place ever feel like a 'deep breath'? Follow some simple rules to check your home or office. We help you to define rest and activity areas and compare the results with the daily schedule of the occupants. By balancing the distribution of rest and activity areas, you are signalled to pause and go into deeper meditations in minutes and search for the treasures that you already have within yourselves. This is the secret of space which has the power to quieten the mind. So, even in the midst of the greatest silence and solitude (NON-DOING), there is intense activity and in the midst of the intensest activity, we can find the silence and solitude of the desert. This is 'Yoga of Architecture'.
A. Sleep is meditation and best growth happens when we connect with our sub-conscious. There is nothing like a good night's sleep - our bedrooms, location of beds and the direction we face plays a vital role in our health. Even the design of hospitals and the orientation of beds has so much to do with healing.
Bad sleep 'dramatically' alters body. A recent BBC article point referring to the journal PNAS points out poor sleep can have a potentially profound effect on the internal workings of the human body by UK researchers.
Vedas - the Sanskrit word for wisdom from the earliest literary record of Indo-Aryan civilization have a few tips to sleep: Research
has also shown that sleeping with our heads to the north affects our
bodies at a micro level hindering restful sleep and healing, without us
realising it. Brain cells are sensitive to magnetic field orientation
and our feet pointing southwards help with the downward flowing
frequencies.
- Sleeping on the left side helps digestion. It promotes the functioning of the right nostril and is good for a person. The right nostril heats and activates the body.
- Sleeping on the right side is relaxing, and it activates the left nostril, which cools and relaxes the body.

- Sleeping on the stomach disturbs everything. It causes disease by obstructing deep, healthy breathing.
A. Colours impact our lives in more ways than one. Colours of the sky, the trees and the flowers bring us closer to nature. Colours are in all seven forms of art, colours play a key role in brand recognition and then there are the colours of the rainbow and so on. Each colour carries with it a specific memory, a feeling and a power to influence.
Q. How can a space be linked with health of its occupants?
