This book is inspiring. The pictures are beautiful and serve as a motivation to create a haven of healing and peace within the home.

Suzi Chiazzari writes in a clear, personal style and lends credibility to how the home can influence our physical, mental and emotional well-being. The suggestions presented are practical and make sense without confusing "new age" rhetoric.

Topics presented in THE HEALING HOME include the use of color and texture, aroma, the importance of light, how decor can de-stress one's life, and bringing nature into the home.

I first found this book at the library and just had to buy it. I was learning about feng shui and some of the books just took the concepts way too far. This one is both philosopohical and realistic and it has great tips that help you id some nice decorating approaches. I'm so glad I bought it.

This is a wonderful book as mentioned in the other reviews. Except, I felt they could have written more in depth rather than touching on the surface in many areas. Also I was hoping they would work more with color therapy and have more photo examples. The cover is misleading in that they never show it again or comment on it, also focusing on warm and bright colors almost exclusively, rather than the cooler tones on the cover.

As a person who is always looking for ways to make my home more comfortable, I have been so happy with this purchase. This book talks about the non-obvious elements that make one's home a sanctuary and how to achieve a healing home. There are tips and guidelines for exploring our innermost needs and how those can be met by our homes. The book also gives tips on how to remove those "bad vibes" that are left behind by negative people who enter our homes.

Overall, it is a sweet and pleasant read with lots of beautiful photographs of what a healing home can look like.

For me the book was a great discovery with lots of things I did not know about. It inspired me to paint my bedroom deep-blue and my healing room brick orange, just like in the book. Oh, and the bathroom- you've gotta try make yours like that, with candles! I have also used the book at my speeches, and everyone loved looking through it. I would highly recommend it to people who are new to natural healing like myself. The book also inspired me to buy some stones. I would also love to meet the author one day and I would love to have a Japanese version for my customers. I love my home now- thank you!
