Anyone who’s ever traveled, or wanted to travel, to a health spa or spiritual retreat will love using this easy-to-follow program that turns a home into a private sanctuary for a day, a weekend, or longer. Begin by using feng shui to create a sacred space and altar that duplicates the simplicity and tranquility of traditional retreats. Then, morning to evening, practice activities and rituals to refresh body and spirit, including: a soothing candlelit bath with essential oils; gentle yoga stretches; creative free writing; energizing chi kung; and a detox-and-purify shower. Plus, find out what to eat and drink, from breaking fast to an herbal tea break. Perfect for people of all faiths seeking private time, rest and relaxation, and a chance to reconnect with their spiritual selves.
