📝 Description: Home in Harmony: Designing an Inspired Life

We all deserve a calm, well-ordered, pleasingly designed refuge where we can relax and enjoy our families. Having had four children in a little more than five years while running a thriving design business, with the body of a fit runner who does yoga and meditates, Christa O'Leary has become the guardian at the gate of our sanctuaries--our homes. She teaches us to be aware of the toxins found in both our food and furnishings; the detrimental effects of our unhealthy habits; and society's frantic need to have the latest gadgets, to get ahead, and to be forever on the go. As a designer, therapist, and eco-friendly expert, she's often asked how she makes her hockey-mom life and peaceful, beautiful, healthy home look so effortless. Well, the hunt for her secret is over! Christa shows us that it's possible for all of us to feel inspired, energized, and in love with our lives and our homes. Many books address the components found in Home in Harmony, including design, color, feng shui, psychology, clean eating, detoxification, meditation, and finding our soul's purpose. However, this is the first book that puts it all together in a fun-to-read, easy-to-implement format. This is the formula for living an extraordinary life, and it's now available to everyone!

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
O'Leary offers a compelling synthesis of interior design and spiritual therapy, making the abstract concept of 'sacred space' tangible for the modern practitioner. The text successfully demystifies how environmental toxins and lifestyle choices impact energetic balance, providing actionable steps for transformation. However, readers seeking rigorous academic analysis of architectural history or strict scientific validation of energy work may find the approach too subjective or woo-oriented. It is best suited for those already open to metaphysical concepts who want practical application rather than theoretical debate. The tone is warm and accessible, though it assumes a willingness to engage deeply with personal responsibility for one's energetic environment.
