Although the healing qualities of nature have been recognized and relied on for centuries as a valuable part of convalescence, recent history has seen nature's therapeutic role virtually eclipsed by the technological dominance of modern medicine. As the twentieth century comes to a close and the medical community reacknowledges the importance of the environment to recovery, the healing garden is emerging as a supplement to drug- or technology-based treatments. Healing Gardens celebrates this renewed interest in nature as a catalyst for healing and renewal by examining the different therapeutic benefits of healing gardens and offering essential design guidance from experts in the field. Unique and comprehensive, Healing Gardens provides up-to-date coverage of research findings, relevant design principles and approaches, and best practice examples of different types of healing gardens. It begins by exploring what current research reveals about the connection between nature, human stress reduction, and medical outcomes. It then presents case studies and design guidelines for outdoor spaces in medical settings that include general, psychiatric, and children's hospitals as well as hospices, nursing homes, and Alzheimer's facilities. Historical information, literature reviews, and studies on use are included for each type of outdoor space covered, offering important insights into what works in healing gardens-and what doesn't. Generously supplemented with photographs, site plans, anecdotes, and more, Healing Gardens is an invaluable practical guide for landscape architects and others involved in creating and maintaining medical facilities, and an extremely useful reference for those responsible for patient care. A unique and comprehensive look at the therapeutic effects and design of healing gardens For more and more people, the shortest road to recovery is the one that leads through a healing garden. Combining up-to-date information on the therapeutic benefits of healing gardens with practical design guidance from leading experts in the field, Healing Gardens is an important resource for landscape architects and others working in this emerging area. With the help of site plans, photographs, and more, it presents design guidelines and case studies for outdoor spaces in a range of medical settings, including: * Acute care general hospitals. * Psychiatric hospitals. * Children's hospitals. * Nursing homes. * Alzheimer's facilities. * Hospices.

Most of us want to improve our homes and to increase their value at the same time, but very few of us have the money to spend on a professional architect. In Room Planner designer Paula Robinson gives you all the ideas and practical information you need to adapt the space in which you live. The book features over 100 clear, colour-coded plans allowing you to pick and choose layouts and designs according to what's appropriate for your home, whether you have a bedsit or a five-bedroom house. To reflect changing lifestyles, the emphasis is very much on versatility and flexibility, with chapters on High-performance space (making maximum use of available space), Valuable space (dividing space to create additional rooms and increase property value), Flexible space (creating moveable partitions) and Individual space (innovative solutions for particular rooms). There's also basic advice and tips, including: Using colour in the home: blue helps to focus the mind and intellect; green has harmonious, soothing effects; yellow stimulates and invigorates; orange stimulates the appetite. Using shapes: the kidney shape brings a softness and flexibility to interiors; circles introduce a sense of freedom and space. Creating atmosphere: an inset fire set higher up in the wall can have a stunning effect; backlit cupboard doors draw the eye; concealed lighting introduces mood and atmosphere while creating a sense of depth; mirroring the wall opposite the entrance door can bring life and character to a property. This is an essential manual not only for homeowners seeking to rethink their living space, but also for those who are building their home from scratch. Paula and Phil's guide will inspire in you the confidence and enthusiasm to maximise the potential of your living space, so that you too can create your dream home.

We carry our own space with us wherever we go. We expand and soften it with meditation and relaxation and we contract and sharpen it with irritability and anger. In the space in front of us we carry our dreams and expectations; behind us we carry our memories, history and old baggage. We live in houses with memories stored in the walls and wonder why we are affected by the atmosphere in certain rooms. But because our senses and intuition become so dulled by our stressful lives, we forget to look beyond what is physically obvious and to stop long enough to notice that which we can often feel instinctively with our whole being. Layers and layers of unwanted memories and negative and stagnant energies can build up within a home and within your very self, but they can all be removed and cleared simply and effectively - both from your home and from your inner spirit. The Healing Home explores the skills needed to do this, looking at both the ancient and modern perspective, and by using simple tools and exercises handed down from a variety of cultures and traditions. Learn the value of using a medicine wheel, crystals, stones and symbols to help you create sacred space; find out how to use a smudging stick, bells and blessed water to refine the energies in your home; learn how to clear and purify the energy in a new home; and experience for yourself the very real benefits of keeping your inner self in balance with chakra cleansing, aura cleansing and grounding exercises.

Before antibiotics and today’s assorted miracle pills, only fresh air and summer sunshine around the Hayden Lake farmhouse could enable a California city child to recover from near-fatal TB, rheumatic fever and pneumonia. The Idaho farmhouse, homesteaded in 1893 by Swedish immigrants Jacob and Christina Thunborg, is a symbol of the friendships nurtured with the author’s four grandparents—also immigrants from Sweden—when all met at the same Spokane boardinghouse in then-Washington territory. More than a century has passed, four generations of the author’s family savor fond memories and, in 1985, the venerable farmhouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Other memories include a child’s view of the S.F. Bay Area in the 1930s—the romance of luxurious train travel, construction of the magnificent Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridges, Treasure Island, the World’s Fair—and more.

Lexie Cooke didn’t know her husband, Stan, was a cheater when she married him. Actually, she didn’t know much about him at all. It had been a whirlwind romance. But when she realizes his lying and manipulation is much deeper than sexual affairs, she understands she needs to escape imminent danger. With her three children and her best friend, she hides in a vacant house in the hills of Oahu. The house becomes her refuge. Her fears never leave her, but the house possesses a wonderful healing power for them all. Afraid of being found, she moves her family to Europe. Her instincts always lead her back to the house in Hawaii, where she learns of its history and its previous occupants while also discovering her future. Intense, heartwarming, and full of the culture of Hawaii, China, France, and Switzerland, The Healing House covers six generations of a family, narrating what separates them and what makes them whole again. This novel offers insight into the themes of the power of women, love, and God’s intervention in a person’s life while teaching about following one’s instincts and listening to one’s heart and mind.
