Design and Energy

Psycho-ecological Design

A reading several years ago said:

"The Divine is the ultimate architect. You are attempting to emulate the Divine by becoming an architect.

Prayer/meditation everyday puts one in the process of experiencing the natural flow of energy constantly.

Let go of your dreams, focus on spiritual development. You will become the dreams you seek."

Architecture became a means for healing.

Psycho-ecological Design is composed of two words: psychology and ecology. Psychology refers to the"...mind, mental phenomena, of, pertaining to, dealing with, or affecting the mind, esp. as a function of awareness, feeling, or motivation."(def.)

Ecology is the branch of biology dealing with the relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other organisms. This definition is used in reference to an individual's multi-faceted existence in relation to his or her environment.

The process involves identifying the user's needs using metaphysical methods not typically associated with architectural design, or interior design.

An individual's energy is accessed to create environments they can appreciate because it is based on intimate information about them. Biochemical issues, such as food and lifestyle choices, are addressed as extensively as the client permits. The Mind and Environment optimally coexist.

Several methods are used to optimize the power and quality of space such as feng shui, earth energy or geomancy, dowsing, and the use of sound and light in its multi-complex forms of color. Materials and methods are selected to help maintain an ecological balance. This results in personal dynamic environments that function wholistically.
