Arpita Bhandari, Design Energist, and Theta healing Practitioner speaks about how she uses emotions as the primary source of inspiration to craft exclusive design spaces and furniture
What is the concept of Energy-based furniture?
Our emotions, feelings and thoughts are derived from our surroundings. We shape our homes and our homes shape us.
During these unfamiliar times, when we are spending a large part of our lives indoors, there is a need and strong desire to change our surroundings and in turn, change ourselves. We know that as individuals we will always have a strong connection to our surroundings and our environment. Our mood changes with a change in the aura around us. Every thought creates an emotion which reflects in our daily lives in many ways. Every action we undertake occurs in a given space, our homes and offices being the spaces of primary use. Hence to design a space or a piece of furniture, we use emotion as the primary source of inspiration to craft exclusive and immaculate pieces.
As a Life Strategist, I have been enabling and facilitating my clients to bridge the gap between the Mind and the Body (the conscious and the subconscious). I was impelled to delve deeper to understand its connection with our ‘Space’. Space too plays a very significant role in our lives while we tend to take it for granted. I believe our space is a reflection of our thoughts, feelings, actions and vice versa. We’re an extension of our space. We at Arpita B Design studio infuse our products and the spaces designed by us through processes which transform the energy of the space you live in.
“A cluttered place makes us feel anxious but a well-organised and well-designed space gives us clarity of thoughts.”
You are a Theta Healing practitioner. What does it involve?
We at Arpita B Design Studio, bridge the gap between the conscious and the subconscious by identifying, evaluating and decoding the concerns which cause these extremities. To get your mind & body in harmony, we indulge in practising meditation, doing workshops, and sessions with our clients. It is a tool that heals and connects our MIND BODY & SOUL. In our meditative process, we make our clients access the subconscious mind through the Theta brain frequency. Theta is a brainwave that has a frequency of 3.5 to 7.5 Hz classified as a “slow” activity. A state of mind between wakefulness and sleep. In this state, our clients effortlessly permeate into an introspective state to address their concern.
We work with the energy, the direct and the driving force of everything that exists. Be it the energy of the space or the energy of the mind-body, we identify, evaluate and guide you through this life-changing transformation for your highest best. We help you heal inside out to live a healthy and peaceful life.
How do you use Theta Healing to design furniture and spaces?
As an Energist, I use EMOTIONS which are stored in our subconscious mind as a form of energy to translate intangible abstract thoughts into tangible objects.
We use a life-transforming theory known as the “theory of mind” which is derived from my practice of Theta Healing. This enables me to design and customise intuitive spaces and products. We believe that your home is an outward manifestation and reality of your inner experiences, memories, beliefs – basically a reflection of you.
How you influence your surroundings, your surroundings influence you similarly. We design on the basis of the integration of your MIND, BODY and SPACE through amalgamation of three significant elements, COLOURS. FORMS. EMOTIONS which play a vital role in your surroundings.
All my designs are inspired by the existence of nature and life in its true form, to transform the energy of a given space.
How do energy based designs help the customer?
Emotions play a very important role in the way we think, act, react and feel. We use emotion as a primary form of energy to design and curate our exclusive pieces. The inception of our design is based on the emotion that would reflect in the space it becomes a part of. While executing the piece, the emotion is infused through an energetic process which is derived by accessing the Theta brain frequency, a seat of intuition, intention and inspiration. We take a space, empty or designed, and transform it into a place that connects with the very being of the person. Whether it’s a product or the entire space, we aim at delivering a final product that’s beyond the ordinary.
We work with the client to understand their needs and being a life strategist enhances my ability to offer them clarity on what they are subconsciously seeking. With this information, we develop the blueprint of the piece, choosing the right colours, forms, textures, patterns and more. Each element is thoroughly analysed, and attentively picked to evoke the right emotion. The creation of the product or space is a collaborative effort with the client, the final result is often an amalgamation of superior aesthetics still well within the client’s emotional sphere of comfort.
This allows you to understand the connection between your space and yourself and how to manifest your dreams and desires through your space. Your space becomes the source of support, a wellspring of joy, object of inspiration and tool for transformation.
The future of energy-based design concepts in India?
India has been known as the country where the interior and architectural structures have always been praised for their uniqueness. The culture, history and spirituality are deeply rooted in each and every design. When we explore the cultural Indian Interiors, a riot of colours and an abundance of patterns are brought together, giving definition to Indian décor.
We are trying to educate the people about our unique concept and its significance. The concept of a Design Energist is very unfamiliar to the people right now because this is a self created process and term. Last three months, we have been fortunate in spreading awareness through the press and shall continue to do so as we believe this is the future. We believe that how people can heal through crystals and plants, our pieces do the same miracle by enabling people to heal and restore inside out emulating the positive energy in their space.
Arpita B Design Studio is an artisan based design studio exploring a seamless transition between artistic yet functional products. We believe and consciously put in efforts to promote locally made products which are meticulously crafted.
