Introduction to Book

Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet shows you how to create a beautiful, non-toxic and natural home and workspace; a sanctuary that will support, invigorate and nourish you to enable you to flourish in all aspects of your life—while being kind to the environment.  

I could have written a book for each chapter; however I have chosen instead to meld together the various topics in a single book, providing detailed facts, advice, data and wisdom about these subjects in a larger context within which to understand and apply the information. 

I wrote this book as a solution to a pervasive problem; the apparent lack of time and vitality people have in our society and the frenzied energy with which we seem to be living our lives. Have you noticed that when someone asks: “how are you?” the response is most often: “I’m so busy!” 

Most of us, while interested in learning how to be calmer and creating a home or office space to nurture such a life, simply do not have the time to read all the information about each subject that will help. This book provides simple and harmonious solutions based on research from hundreds of books and articles, attendance at innumerable classes and years of experience in helping people create harmonious environments.  

You may wish to read through Harmonious Environment once, before applying changes. I strongly recommend that you apply the process in the order of the chapters, as they do build on one another. In other words, you begin by removing as many toxic products as possible; then clean, de-clutter, clear and organize the contents of your home or office. Next, you will begin to make eco-friendly purchases. Lastly, using the inspiration and guidance you attained in this book, you will learn how to place objects with the intent to manifest change in your life and visualize that transformation taking place.  

Harmonious Environment also provides hundreds of resources for products and services and a plethora of tips, and is therefore a valuable reference book.  

Creating Your Harmonious Environment 

If you follow the suggestions in Harmonious Environment, don’t be surprised when people will walk into your home and say something like: “Your home feels so good,” or “It feels so peaceful here!” When you invite guests over, they will not want go home! You, too, will find yourself reluctant to leave your nest. 

Harmonious Environment will help you create a home that people will love living in because it guides you in making your home look and feel better. Individuals (and lots of other animals) are attracted to and seek positive energy, albeit often unconsciously. Harmonious Environment assists in identifying and removing negative energies and replacing them with positive, vital and life-affirming energy. 

We are interconnected with all of nature—we are, in fact, made up of all the same elements. The animal, plant and mineral kingdoms all originate from the same material and all contain life-force energy. You will learn how to harness good energy from the natural world by using flowers, plants, rocks and other items in your home and office. You will discover how to place these objects with intent and feeling to transform your life. Allow yourself to receive whatever you wish—from abundance, health, joy, recognition and love—when you work with energy and learn how to visualize what it is you want.  

Harmonious Environment is filled with advice, but it is not meant to be read as rules and regulations. It is meant to encourage you to use your intuition to determine what is right for you.  

Using your intuition—the knowing part of you—to decide what you want for yourself is explored in detail. It means that you will learn to trust yourself and that you will have the confidence to be proactive in getting what you want.  

The book is divided into four parts. Part I explores how to get rid of the negative energies in your environment. This is the foundation to creating a harmonious environment. This section deals with how to create a healthy home or workspace that is also kind to the planet. It includes information on natural and organic food with recipes and natural body care products.  

Part II is when the fun and creativity of your journey of creating a harmonious environment begins. The chapters teach you how to trust your intuition to allow you to create a beautiful home that vibrates with loving, positive energy. It is within this space of loving energy that you will discover how to manifest your dreams and aspirations.  

Part III serves as the confidence booster for those who may still be shy about their undeveloped talents as a designer. The section also pulls together the entire book for a greater understanding of how all the principles in the book are interconnected.  

Part IV lists hundreds of resources to help make your dreams of living in a harmonious environment come alive! 

To summarize, you will be guided to create your own harmonious environment by doing the following:

  • Replacing the "bad stuff" with safe and eco-friendly products
  • Organizing the rest
  • Honoring Mother Nature
  • Bringing in the beautiful
  • Placing objects with the intent to manifest your dreams

I refer to the process of making your environment harmonious as applying Harmonious Adjustments™. Harmonious Adjustments™ is unique in that it combines what I consider the best principles of Feng Shui, the application of the Four Elements based on your birth date, color, Vastu, creative visualization, energy work and good design. In addition, Harmonious Adjustments™ are made only after a space is clean and organized, negative energy is gone and the environment is as free from toxins as possible.
