Customer Reviews

This book was very helpful to me

The authors of this book have put together many good suggestions to assist women in putting together simple, meaningful altars that could help them meditate, think deeply, or simply enjoy daily life. I like the photographs and the fact that the altars are created from common, everyday items that most women, whether in urban areas or rural, could easily find. I also like the fact that suggestions are given for constructing altars both inside the home and outside in all kinds of natural places. The book has given me many ideas for creating meditation centers, and I enjoy just leafing through the pages and looking at the pictures. I recommend this book for anyone who likes to meditate, comtemplate, or just plain sit quietly and think.

A Book for Every Woman

I found this to be a beautiful book that inspires the reader to create places for everyday reverence and meditation to enjoy within and around the home. An ideal gift for daughters, sisters, mothers, friends. Highly recommended.
