Feng shui teaches that we are interconnected and interdependent. This includes the spaces that we live in and engage with every day. We are not separate from our homes, our spaces, or the objects and people that surround us. How can we begin to connect to and appreciate our world, and see the beauty in each moment? In Mindful Homes, Anjie Cho explains how we can start by paying attention to the details around us. Feng shui and mindfulness can help us to slow down, be more aware, and create spaciousness to give birth to more joy, creativity, and community. Learn simple practices to cultivate a healing living space, including creating sacred areas for rituals, incorporating crystals, mindful meditation, and offering gratitude to deities and to your home itself. With stunning photography throughout, Mindful Homes will inspire you to look at your environment with fresh eyes and create a space that enhances happiness and wellbeing.
