we are trying to keep things simple down here with our building a Yaqui Vastu dwelling.
Yaqui Vastu is similar to Vedic Vastu in some respects. One thing you have to keep in mind is the stress the materials are put under during construction. This is an often overlooked element to consider. According to Yaqui Vastu principles, there should be a minimum of stress involved in the construction and in the manufacture of the material used for building. So, take the example of using brick - it's very stressful to have to generate all that heat during manufacturing. Or. take wood - very stressful to nature during the milling into lumber. That goes for nails and steel supports as well - all very stressful. The only habitation that probably doesn't involve much stress when converting to a habitat might be living inside a cave. See my previous post on the underground cement dwellings in Arizona. That's why we've decided to use cedar posts and plaster for the construction of our Yaqui dwelling - less stress. Cedar posts, fer sure! [image: Inline image 1] Cedar post construction at San Jose Mission, 1740.
