Full Description
How can our home support our physical health? How can it help to manage and reduce the spiraling stress levels in our life? Away from simple aesthetics or the complex systems of geomantic prophecy, "The Homemaker's Guide to Health and Happiness" refocuses our attention on the physiological and psychological interactions that occur between ourselves and the living environment we call home. Next to practical questions of physical health, organic food, the mind-body connection etc., the author discusses how the choices we make as individuals have a clear and fundamental impact on the collective pool of world consciousness. For not only does our home tell us about ourselves but it also acts as our conduit to the outside world. Divided into three main sections the book touches on a variety of topics: "The Physical Home" looks at the physical make-up of the average home and details the many natural alternatives available. "The Emotional Home" explores the therapeutic use of design, colour and lighting, as well as ways to create sensory and elemental balance. "The Spiritual Home" brings awareness of how the choices made in the creation of a home effect our families, neighbours and the world beyond our four walls. By doing so the home is revealed as a means of strengthening one's connection to the Universal Spirit, so completing the circle that is the essence of holistic health.
