This document discusses how interior design elements like ceiling height, views, and color schemes can impact human mood and behavior. Ceiling height can influence whether people think abstractly or focus on specifics. While nature views are relaxing, urban views require more mental effort. Color also affects mood - blue is calming, yellow is bright and happy, red is stimulating, and green evokes nature. Furniture placement and lighting choices further impact social interaction and relaxation. Through architectural and design decisions, interior spaces can be tailored to promote creativity, focus, or relaxation.

10 Plus Spiritual Remedies to spiritually cleanse your homeAnnEmiliya1
1. Introduction to spiritually cleaning your house (Vastu Shuddhi)
Studies show that we spend over 90 per cent of our time indoors, almost 70% of which is at home. Now in 2020 and 2021 with lockdowns in place due to the pandemic, the proportion of time that we spend at home may be even higher.
For many of us, our home is our little space in this world where we can relax and be ourselves. We invest a lot of time and effort into making it exactly how we want it. Usually, our focus when doing up our home is on our material needs and comforts along with creating a place where we can be comfortable physically and mentally. Our homes are a reflection of our personalities, tastes and lifestyles.
With so much of our time spent at home, how we keep our home is bound to affect us. We are aware of the physical aspects that affect us such as if it is unclean, untidy or something is broken. We make efforts to rectify it. We are aware of any stress that we may be having with other family members, and we try to resolve it to clear the air. However, most of us are unaware of any negative vibrations that are present in our home that affect us adversely at a spiritual and subsequently at a physical/psychological level. The fact is that every house has subtle vibrations associated with it, which affects us and our families.
So how do we go about cleansing the premises to ensure that it has positive vibrations?
1.1 Meaning of Vastu Shuddhi
Ancient sciences like Vastu Shastra (Science of the premises) provided people with guidance as to how to go about ensuring that their premises attracted positive vibrations while minimising negative vibrations. Vastu Shuddhi is a part of this science that is specifically about the spiritual cleansing/purification of the premises.
Meaning of Vastu Shuddhi
This article aims to provide information on Vastu Shuddi that will help to cleanse the premises spiritually. It is based on the philosophy from ancient Sanskrit scriptures and spiritual research conducted by Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay (also known as Maharshi University of Spirituality or MAV) under the guidance of Paratpar Guru Dr Jayant Athavale.
2. How do I know if my home has negative vibrations?
Does my house has negative vibrations ?
Did you know that it is possible to sense the subtle vibrations as soon as you enter a house ?
Nowadays with the general increase of spiritually impure vibrations around the world and the heightened activity of negative energies, most houses will have some level of negativity. It is therefore recommended that one regularly takes measures to remove negativity from the house.
At the outset, our spiritual research has found that more than the premises, it is the personality of the residents and their activities in the premises that are the main causes of negative vibrations building up in the premises.

ABSTRACT:
Buildings have a cause and therefore when one is considering individuals with drug abuse problems, the design of their temporary social ‘containment’ so to speak, must not look or feel anything like an exclusion. It must emulate a world which embraces them through spaces encouraging gradual community involvement, a therapeutic process that does not resemble a hospital or foundation environment. A rehabilitation inner and outer space that provides them with the means of understanding what went wrong and how to work-through the group- towards building their own strength to surpass physical and psychological obstacles on the road to recovery and active inclusion. Such therapeutic community buildings must not be designed to remind long term absence from life, but a temporary home away from home, a pathway back to individual stability and social development. And this short term abode must be enriched with approaches to healing that bring about changes from the inside out. One of them is expression through the arts.

It explores how architectural design can support or hinder people's changing privacy needs and preferences for social interaction. The concepts of personal space, territory and privacy are interrelated mechanisms that people use to regulate social interaction. Architects should design environments that are responsive to these dynamics and allow for flexibility in how spaces can be used and experienced. Ignoring psychological needs could lead to conflict between people and their environments.

Running head: THE EFFECTS OF POPULATION DENSITY AND NOISE The Effects of Population Density and Noise

November 3, 2013 Christine Hander The
Effects of Population Density and Noise Population density and noise
can have many
effects
on individuals.
Population density
is
the
amount
of
people, which live in a particular area. Along with population density, comes noise; noise is typically an unwanted distraction. In this paper the subject to discuss is
the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space; examine how the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space have become increasingly important as
populations become
denser; clarify the effect nature has on individuals living in urban environments, describe the concept of noise and examine the effect it has on individuals; and examine strategies that can be used to reduce noise in the workplace or in the living environment. Concepts of
Territoriality,
Privacy, and Personal Space
Territories are areas
marked and defended by
their owners
and
often
used for life- sustaining activities
(Territoriality, 2004). The most common example of a person's territory would be his or her home because one tends to personalize and defend what is theirs. A person identifies themselves with his or her territory and any threat to that territory feels like a threat to themselves (Territoriality, 2004). A person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Privacy is the selective control of access to oneself and group (Privacy, 2004). A person has the ability to decide who to allow in his or her territory or personal space. A person's
personal space

The document discusses how color can influence emotions, moods, and behaviors. It explains that warm colors like red, orange, and yellow are more stimulating while cool colors like blue and green are more calming. Certain colors are recommended for relaxation, creativity, confidence, and more. The psychology and effects of the seven chakra colors are also outlined.
The document discusses creating a safe space for self-healing work. It emphasizes setting an environment, both internally and externally, that allows one to feel calm, comfortable and safe. Externally, this involves making one's home a haven with soothing personal items. It also suggests finding a calm natural space if privacy is limited at home. Internally, guided imagery exercises can help connect to a real or imaginary calm place and feel its sensations in one's body. The goal is to establish a space and sense of safety that allows processing of past painful events from a present state of mind rather than a subconscious one in the past.

PSY/460
November 3, 2013 Christine Hander The
Effects of Population Density and Noise Population density and noise
can have many
effects
on individuals.
Population density
is
the
amount
of
people, which live in a particular area. Along with population density, comes noise; noise is typically an unwanted distraction. In this paper the subject to discuss is
the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space; examine how the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space have become increasingly important as
populations become
denser; clarify the effect nature has on individuals living in urban environments, describe the concept of noise and examine the effect it has on individuals; and examine strategies that can be used to reduce noise in the workplace or in the living environment. Concepts of
Territoriality,
Privacy, and Personal Space
Territories are areas
marked and defended by
their owners
and
often
used for life- sustaining activities
(Territoriality, 2004). The most common example of a person's territory would be his or her home because one tends to personalize and defend what is theirs. A person identifies themselves with his or her territory and any threat to that territory feels like a threat to themselves (Territoriality, 2004). A person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Privacy is the selective control of access to oneself and group (Privacy, 2004). A person has the ability to decide who to allow in his or her territory or personal space. A person's
personal space
describes
the emotionally tinged zone around the .

3. Psychological comfort means being content or satisfied mentally and spiritually
as a result of the aesthetically pleasing environment. When people are physically
comfortable in their spaces, they look for something to please their eyes and relax
their minds. An aesthetically pleasing environment is a grand bonus for making
a place healthy, productive and attractive. Psychological comfort helps people get
over boredom and stress, depression, both at workplaces or homes.
Personalization of space refers to the garnishing, decoration, modification, or
rearrangement of an environment by its user to reflect their individual identities.
This term is applicable for both residential and office spaces, but should be more
focused on office as homes are already designed according to occupants’ desires.
Back in the history, office spaces used to enclosed, with cubicles filled
workstations and individual offices discriminating the rank or position of
workers. In the modern century, open-space office is widely accepted to create a
sustainable and productive atmosphere. But on issue is personalization, which is
based on the concept of human behavioral need for personal space, territorial
behaviors and privacy. We cannot provide individual person office to 200
workers in an office, and this is where designing comes into action.
Why we focus on personalization is because it has a great psychological effect on
the employees. The feeling of own space, and something belonging to them or
looking at something of their own elevates one’s mood. Some researches show
4. that personalization can keep people against negative physical, physiological, and
psychological concerns such as stress, depression and anxiety. Harris &
Associates (1978) states that allowing individuals to express their emotions and
personality through personalizing their individual space will improve well-being.
Personal space or boundaries also bring out creativity, concentration and help in
brainstorm. Most of the human beings find it easier to concentrate when they are
alone.
We can provide boundaries or personal space in different ways:
Displaying personal objects in the space: adding artworks, family photo,
favorite flowers or plants, show piece, something that makes them happy.
Changing the furnishing according to the user. For example changing the
position of desk, or adjusting seat or chair, positing certain objects
according to needs and comfort.
5. It is when we make a design that is inspired by and connects to the nature, visually
or physically. These kinds of designs exist because its known that nature is what
gives us most comfort and being comfortable can make us exceed ourselves in
many aspects.
Openings are meant by doors, windows or any other systems. Openings allow
fresh air to enter inside the interior space, constantly refreshing what’s inside the
building. They are also a ways to integrate daylight, so daylight + fresh air can
remove the feeling of stuffiness and allow you to work better and relax better.
Openings, as learnt in the physical aspects relating to thermal comfort, are very
much important for health, as well as mind. Adequate amount of openings in a
particular space give the mind to feel open, comfortable rather than
claustrophobic.
As it is known, plants give us oxygen by their respiratory system. Getting more
oxygen into the building was proved by scientists is a way to remove stuffiness
and it maximizes performances, adding an aesthetic look to the interior. In some
buildings, they use a lot of green plants to make the people inside feel that they
Office without openings Office with openings
6. are sitting in the nature, this goes by the fact that when an artist try to draw
something they prefer drawing outdoor in a green space.
Greenery has become the latest trend since the past decade as a part for
sustainability. Adding plants, living wall or atrium gardens to a building or space
not only helps in filtering the air, but also comforts the eyes, increase
concentration and improve productivity. According to science and psychology,
trees and plants are proven to make people happy. Even by looking at a picture
of nature makes us feel comfortable.
Colors that are inspired from nature also gives us the feeling of being in a soothing
space. It’s all about color psychology and ow our mind perceives colors. Along
with the greening indoor and openness, the implementation of colors inside for
the walls, flooring, furniture, upholstery, everything should be connecting to the
nature. The colors green, brown, orange, blue, yellow are proven to give certain
fresh feelings associated with natural space and elements.
7. If integrated properly, colors have the power to change the mood, manipulate our
mind to bring out inner creativity and provide energy. Everything we are, as a
human, as a person or any functions of the body is all ruled by our psychological
self. A person can be physically ill, but if he is psychologically well, he will not
only be happy, but also he will recover from physical issues lot faster, which is
also proven experiments.
One of the best ways to connect an interior with nature is to use natural materials
as an aspect of sustainability, heathy indoor and color. A room full of iron
furniture will give us the feel of urban life, industries and all sorts of hassle, where
as a room filled with wooden furnitures reminds us of trees, forests and nature.
Apart from pleasing our eyes, natural materials also have other benefits:
8. 1- Natural materials are often durable:
Building materials which are harvested/extracted from the earth are extremely
durable. E.g.: Cork from the bark of cork trees, is spongy and unlikely to dent.
Granite is the hardest and densest natural stone, Marble is the most costly material
with luxurious value, to give incredible shine and intricate designing capability.
2- Your Interiors Will Be On-Trend:
As said previously, sustainability and nature have been on trend in the recent
years. Numerous companies are making amazing pieces of furnitures, lighting
fixture, decorations, wall cladding by using natural materials or mixing various
ones.
3- They Ensure a Timeless Decor:
Sustainable materials tend to top the list of timeless styles since they’ve been
around nearly as long as the concept of interior design itself. They are long lasting
and recyclable, refurnishable. This is why we see the century old wooden
furnitures still existing, and in use.
4- The feeling of nature:
The feel that natural elements gives us, whether by touching or seeing is itself
connecting us with the wild. The feeling we get differs from person to person,
less or more intense, but it doesn’t have any particular name for it. But if we go
deeper in the psychology, we find the terms like Nature connectedness, biophilia
hypothesis, and biophilic design.
Nature connectedness: the extent to which individuals include nature as part
of their identity. This is a psychological process of understanding nature, even
though some parts of it will not be pleasing. People tend to connect with
nature’s characteristics with their own personality trait.
Biophilia hypothesis: suggests that humans possess an innate tendency to
seek connections with nature and other forms of life. Famous biologist and
theorist Edward O. Wilson referred to this term as "the urge to affiliate with
other forms of life". This is the reason why we are so attracted to nature, why
nature and related things calm us, gives us peace and relaxation.
Biophilic design: this is actually the result of the nature connectedness. It is
sustainable design strategy that incorporates natural environment and
connects them with people. This, in conclusion, links with everything we see
in healthy indoor aspects, both physical and psychological.
9.
Daylighting or natural knighting is another psychological measure which is
proven to make us feel awake, fresh and alert. Good lighting energizes our brain
and body, accentuates details which affects how we view colors. It’s a highly
sustainable way to illuminate a space with the aesthetical value.
10. Benefits of Daylighting for Healthy Homes:
- Enhances mood
- Promote concentration by boosting energy and in turn increase productivity
- Restore the body’s natural balance
- Promote good hygiene, kills bacteria
- relieves us from eyestrain and provides vitamin D.
- Promotes natural melatonin production and healthy cortisol levels throughout
the day
-Gives the feel of fresh outdoor.
Daylighting is also linked with creating openings, or the physical factors of visual
comfort. Daylighting or light systems which mimic daylight is highly trending in
the interior design industry, which aids the highest levels in sustainable and green
design.
