Book Cover & Preview Text
Hiding from my family, I curled up on a pile of dirty laundry in my dark basement. I couldn't believe that my life had spiraled to this low point. Every day felt like an uphill marathon of taking care of everyone else while I felt exhausted, lonely and broken inside. Even my rare “good” moments quickly disappeared into the next argument or wave of depression. The beautiful home and family I worked so hard to create resembled more of a battlefield strewn with wounded. Where had I gone wrong?
Creating a home may be the single most important thing we do in our lifetime, and yet we receive almost no training for it. To make matters worse, many of us have complicated relationships with our own memories of home. We may carry on the traditions of our childhood home (whether good or bad) or we may build an entire life based around NOT being like our parents. Either way, a lot is left to chance.
As humans, we instinctively seek the comfort and nurture of home - and I'm not talking about pretty pillows, a better couch or that hot tub sale you've been eyeing. Our bodies and spirits crave a safe place to belong and to know that our story matters.
In The Blessed Home, we will explore:
• why home matters so much and how to connect to your true home
• how your daily choices (and the choices of previous residents) affect your home
• simple methods to cleanse and reset the atmosphere of your home
• learning to listen to the messages your home is sending
• using the power of your words to heal your home
• dozens of written blessings that you can begin using today
• special Home Blessing Ceremony for a new home or beginning a new chapter of life in your current home.
The home you've always longed for is not a fantasy reserved only for a lucky few. The doorway to a peaceful, loving home swings open through the ancient art of Blessing. Blessing gently knocks in your quiet moments – inviting you to see weariness, depression, loneliness, anxiety and struggle as portals through which healing and joy can enter your home. Do you hear the knocking? Let's open the door and begin ...
