Annie Bond shares her life lessons in HOME ENLIGHTENMENT: Practical, Earth-Friendly Advice for Creating a Nurturing, Healthy, and Toxin-Free Home and Lifestyle (Rodale, available in paperback for $19.95).
This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to develop a natural and nontoxic lifestyle that not will only transform our home, but also renew our body, mind, and soul. By encouraging us to think more deeply about what we buy, how we act, and what we do, Bond encourages us to practice the timeless way of living—and she provides us with the tools we need to get started.
Chapters on each of the essential elements—earth, water, fire, air—explore the interdependency of the rhythms of the natural world with the rhythms of our own lives, and help us enhance our own lives through our connection with the elements. The chapter on earth, for example, covers a wide range of subjects including incorporating natural elements such as stone and plants in our homes, the fundamentals of aromatherapy, and creating a backyard banquet for birds. The chapter on water provides practical information on water conservation and water contamination, and also shares ways to make the most of that element’s spiritual qualities in soothing, meditative baths.Web Design by Lily Berthold-Bond
