Praise for this book

“After reading The Holistic Home, you'll never look at your own space and self in the same way again. Laura connects the dots between how we dwell in our homes and the challenges in our lives in an enlightening and groundbreaking way.”

🏛 Skyhorse Publishing 📅 2016 📖 224 pages 📔 Hardcover ISBN: 9781634502344
Fun Fact
Laura Benko's *The Holistic Home* masterfully bridges ancient wisdom with modern self-help, offering a truly integrated approach to well-being through environmental design. It excels at empowering readers to find profound connections between their inner lives and physical spaces. While not a purely traditional Feng Shui manual, it provides invaluable insights for anyone seeking a deeper, more intentional relationship with their home and self. A refreshing addition to the holistic living genre.

📝 Description: The Holistic Home: Feng Shui for Mind, Body, Spirit, Space

Rule the world and take control of your emotional and mental health from where you sit, stand, and sleep. Chapter by chapter, learn how to tackle it all--relationships, clutter, health, communities, inner balance, and more--by looking within your immediate environment to make direct connections in your life. The Holistic Home is based on an original lifestyle concept focused on creating a dynamic, healthy, and thoughtful space within yourself and your home by combining three planes of action--mind, body, and spirit--that result in profound change. The condition of the mind affects the psychology of how you dwell: subconscious influences, decorating with intention, and allowing your emotional issues and challenges to manifest in your space. The physical aspects of your design space, such as furniture positioning, design elements, sustainability, wellness, and organization, are representative of your relationship with your body. And finally, the spirit refers to all the invisible energies within you and your home--feng shui, atmosphere, and the soul of your home. Years ago, author and holistic feng shui expert Laura Benko was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Around that time, a book serendipitously fell on her head. She took this as a much-needed sign to devote the next decade of her life to research and hundreds of transformative holistic design consultations. Her clients' real-life, inspiring stories, along with specific actions and tips, have become the foundation for The Holistic Home.

💎 Expert review

“
💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Laura Benko provides a compassionate and accessible introduction to Feng Shui, focusing heavily on the psychological impact of spatial arrangement. While the concept of linking home environment to personal health is compelling, the approach remains somewhat superficial for experienced practitioners of Eastern metaphysics. It does not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis, complex historical contexts, or advanced technical geomancy. Those looking for deep spiritual philosophy or scientific validation may find the content too simplistic. However, for novices craving immediate, tangible changes to their daily routine through home organization and mindful design, it serves as a gentle, encouraging starting point for holistic living.

📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. What three aspects of your current living space most accurately reflect your inner emotional or mental state right now?
  2. If your home could actively support one specific personal goal (e.g., creativity, peace, productivity), what small change would you initiate today?
  3. Consider the 'atmosphere' of your home. What invisible energies do you wish to cultivate more of, and what might be hindering their flow?
