Description
Even though Americans spend thousands on furniture, appliances and interior decoration, many of our homes have become little more than drop-off zones where we collapse after work, glued to the TV while gulping down a microwave dinner. The home can be so much more than that, says Victoria Moran. It can be a haven in which people can revitalize mind, body and soul. That's what Shelter for the Spirit is all about. Merging Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with a sensitivity to the show more demands of modern life, it provides people with usable directions for bringing a sense of peace and renewal to their homes. Whether addressing how to get rid of clutter, decorate in a way that respects your personality, clean house as a spiritual exercise or celebrate special days (and ordinary ones too), Shelter for the Spirit shows how the quality of attention we give to everyday acts can transform our lives. The only book of its kind, it helps all readers make their homes places in which they and their guests enjoy spending their moments. show lessTags

Not so much a "how to" as a "why to", this book is a breathe of fresh air. Curl up in your comfiest chair, with a cup of tea and a good view, and settle in to enjoy the authors love of home and journey to comfort. I admit that what brings me back again and again is her understanding of what turns a house into a home, and my comfort in knowing that while none of us are perfect we all yearn to get there. This book won't tell you how to organize your board games or winnow down your paperwork, but it will remind you of the joy wood can bring to the eye and the touch, and the peace that can be obtained in a room that speaks to your soul.
yeah its pretty good this book.
