A very unique and serene ‘nest’ located close to the lake drive area in Colombo is a Feng Shui perfect space – Nutri life Centre. The design elements and the décor has been adapted keeping feng shui and vaastu principles in mind and the ‘Zen” courtyard with the Buddha statue is quite unique in many ways.

Going beyond conventional boundaries in Health, Nutrition and well-being, the visionary nutritionist Dr. Damayanthi Perera, PhD formally launched her unique philosophy and concept ‘Holistic Lifestyle Concept for Preventing and Managing NCDs and Stress’ at the 5th Anniversary Celebrations of the Nutri Life Center (NLC) held last Sunday the 15th at the Waters Edge, Colombo amidst a large, multifaceted gathering.

The event had an interesting Guest presentation by the renowned Fengshui Master and Vaastu consultant S.BS.Surendran and the topic was “Feng Shui for Wellness”. The presentation was unique with the topic covering areas like adapting feng shui for rest and stress-reduction; moderate exercise; cleansing the body of the accumulated toxins that are unavoidable in our modern environments; and providing your organ systems with the high-quality organic nutrition that is no longer provided by our commercial food supply.

What does this have to do with feng shui? Well, Fast Feng Shui Principle is to "Work on Yourself as Well as Your Home." The concepts and practices of both traditional and contemporary Western feng shui emerge from the key understanding that everything in our experience is connected on an energetic level.

It's easy to see that clearing clutter from your home is an essential aspect of feng shui, but to truly support energetic changes you should also be doing what you can to clear physical clutter (excess weight, cellular debris and toxins, digestive system congestion, etc.) from your body as well. In other words, the healthier your lifestyle, the more you will get from feng shui.

With specially designed recipe by Nutri life Centre known as “Heart Smart Snacks “ guests were served with an anti oxidant rich ‘Melon & Mint’ fruit drink followed by tasty and ‘Virtually Trans Fat Free Snacks’.

The event was not only unique but was also very interesting and colorful in many ways. The attendees included a colorful mix of the political community, doctors, lawyers, health activists, and the business community.


Co-Chief guests for the occasion were Hon. Prof. Tissa Vitarana, Minister of Science and Technology and Hon. Minister of Health & Nutrition Nimal Siripala de Silva, Hon. Leader of the Opposition and former Prime Minister, Ranil Wickramasinghe and Hon. Minister of Constitutional Affairs, D E W Gunasekera A Message from the First Lady, Madam Shiranthi Rajapakse was read at the commencement of the programme as she could not attend the function due to urgent change of program.

Nutri Life centre with the adaptation of vaastu and feng shui tenets is a “Wellness Sanctuary’ and the integration of holistic healing and the ambience of the centre induce a feeling of warmth and joy.
