Psychological Effects of Zen Houses

At one glance, zen houses give you tranquility. The unusual symmetry creates an impression of orderliness that puts your mind at ease. Some ask, is it just psychological or does the design really have a mental relaxation effect, the way Japanese traditional houses and gardens do? Some observers are convinced it's both. The psychological effects of Zen houses are evident in Metro Manila as more and more people prefer to have the design trait on their dwellings, seeing its mind-calming and mind-health value.

Incidentally, some mind experts have aired their concern on the growing incidence of mental disorders due to mental stress. Hence, the increasingly rampant cases of dementia, strokes, hallucination, paranoia, and abnormal feats of anger. And they aver that these are due partly to environmental stress factors--what people see and feel around them that affect their mental disposition.

And talking of environmental, what else contributes to this factor than the house we stay in? The home we make as our daily  sanctuary and refuge from the outside world is sheltered in a physical structure we see and experience daily. How its appearance and atmosphere [along with its functions] affect us emotionally has some reverberation on our inner health condition.

For instance, tired and stressed from work, you go home to your refuge sanctuary--your house. And once you set foot on your property and see it, some emotional stimulation trigger in you, affecting your relaxation or stressed-up mode. Of course, in this regard, a happy familial relationship does powerfully well. But aside from it, the physical structure of your dwelling has lots to contribute.

Some house designs have chaotic first impressions. You see every design available in the world lumped into it and the result is simply mind boggling, or sometimes even disturbing, and your emotions are stirred negatively even before you enter the house. Emotions stirred up like that has the house design to blame to some degree. So, design your house well.

The psychological effects of Zen houses are evident as one time during a site visit, prospective buyers changed mood on seeing the Zen character of the projects for sale. You could see the calming effect on their faces. They stopped awhile to regard the house from a distance, appreciated the whole thing in a contemplative mood, and that set their mood to appreciate the houses further as they went in to check the interiors. And the projects were sold!

Indeed, the psychological effects of Zen houses inspire a quiet spirit, mediation, and appreciation for the small details in life--and sales as well.
