Effect of orientation on health, scientific evidence
Recent research in modern science has now confirmed the ancient understanding that our brain is sensitive to orientation, position, and direction in space. Scientists can now measure very accurately how well the brain is functioning under different conditions.
This research shows that the firing rate of specific neurons in the thalamus changes in proportion to both the angular velocity and the direction in which the head moves. The scientists conclude that the brain can keep up with the absolute direction in which the head is pointing as the subject moves from place to place. Likewise, neurons in the hippocampus have been found to be sensitive to position (with reference to direction) in space. When one is facing East, the brain physiology functions differently than facing North, South, or West.
The conclusion is that the power of thoughts and the quality of thoughts is influenced by the direction one is facing. One’s sense of direction gets confused in daily life when one lives in a building with wrong orientation, resulting in potential physiological, psychological and behavioural imbalances and strain.
This alteration influences every aspect of brain functioning and the entire physiology. This natural tendency of the brain to function with reference to direction is what Vastu advocates to take into account when designing living structures. It says that the entrance to a sound vastu structure faces because this direction has the very desirable influences of enlightenment, affluence and fulfilment. The other three cardinal directions also have their corresponding influences. The west direction for example has the influence of poverty and lack of vitality and creativity. The north direction has the influence of prosperity and happiness and the south direction has the influence of negativity, problems and suffering.
Much like a compass keeps track of our heading relative to a global reference frame (absolute north), there are neurons in the brain that keep track of the direction that an animal is facing within an environment. These “head direction” neurons provide an internal sense of direction that, unlike a global compass, can change when an animal moves between environments (Taube, 1998). (www.sciencedirect.com Volume 127, Issue 2, 20 October 2006, Pages 239-242)
The principle of constructing buildings according to the principles of Vastu—Vedic Architecture—is borne out by both the ancient Vedic Literature and the modern scientific research on brain functioning. (Refer to Progress in Neurobiology 13 (1979): 419–439; Journal of Neuroscience 15 (1995): 6280–6290; and 'Processing the Head Direction Cell Signal: A Review and Commentary', Brain Research Bulletin 40 (1996): 477–486.)
