Synopsis

Spirit of the Home is a wonderful guide to creating your own sacred space and sanctuary and discovering peace and tranquillity.

Home is a reflection of the self. It tells us, and other people, who we are. The type of home we live in, the style of the furnishings and colours, all work together to remind us of our personality, our taste, our values and interests.

Creating a soul-sustaining space, an intimate and emotional connection with our home, has become a pursuit of the 90’s. As we change our lifestyles, downshift, work at home, deal with stress, live in different communities, we look towards home as a haven for peace and tranquility.

The Spirit of the Home is a practical book, packed full of simple, easy-to-follow advice on how to make the most of your home:

What does your home mean to you?
• Does every space in your home have a special mood and purpose?
• Does a healing home have to be a clean home?
• Does energy, ch’i, flow smoothly?
• Do you have good Feng Shui in your home?
• Does your home feel good, smell good, and sound good?
• Do you have a quiet corner?
• Is your bathroom your sanctuary?
• Can your home bring about change in your inner life?

From the Back Cover

Whether you live in a large house or a single room, it can become a haven and refuge from this stressful world. Our ancestors honoured the home as a sacred space which provided protection and peace; we too can reawaken this sense of spirit in our home, and turn it into a sanctuary which can heal the body, calm the mind and soothe the soul.

'Spirit of the Home' will show you what your living space says about you and your life – and whether it reflects what you really need. It explains how you can let your home help you live the life you really want – physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The whole process is simple and fun. You will find out how to:
• Arrange your home to help you attract love, success, energy and wealth
• Use colour, sound and light for health and harmony
• Use feng shui to improve the quality of your life
• Clear clutter – painlessly – and simplify your space
• Find a ‘space of your own’ in which to relax and be renewed.

'Spirit of the Home' is a book about transformation. It will inspire you to look at your home – and yourself – in a whole new light.
