Phoenix Distribution Mindful Home

A house is merely physical but a home is far more subtle and elusive. This book takes the view that being "at home" is a metaphor for finding ourselves - finding our core. What do we find at our core? Well, if the world's great wisdom traditions have anything to say about it then home is about qualities that we could equate with 'good' itself - true happiness, peace, beauty, wisdom and inspiration. It is also about the good things in life such as harmony, relationships, health and wealth. So, how are we to find our core and create a home that reminds us of the qualities associated with it? That is where the practice of mindfulness comes in! By exploring the ways in which we feed our mind and our heart through our senses, how we use space, the practicalities of managing a home, and how we can live a healthy and sustainable life at home, The Mindful Home will enable us to shape the living space we really want, creating an environment that both nurtures and invigorates us, while meeting our needs. - We are now experiencing the "mindfulness revolution", with mindfulness now forming part of everything from corporate strategy to education. Applying mindfulness to the creation of your ideal home environment is the next step. - Written by a husband and wife team, who between them combine the talents of a global expert in mindfulness and a highly acclaimed calligraphic artist. - Takes the readers step-by-step from an understanding of what mindfulness is to how it can be implemented to enhance your living space. - Will appeal to those interested in interior design as well as living a more meaningful life.
