Publisher Description
Scientific and mathematical studies dating back to ancient far eastern tradition prove that the space that surrounds us is not easily separated from who we are, how we feel, and each of the life choices we make. Debra Duneier's EcoChi System is built on a solid foundation of classical feng shui, green and sustainable living, healthy choices and environmental psychology. EcoChi goes beyond design and materials. It is about the kind of life that can be achieved when our spaces and surroundings work for us rather than against us. In her book, Debra invites you to share her journey and read the honest, open, revealing stories of her clients, who have experienced the power of EcoChi firsthand. In fact, just by picking up this book, you have already embarked on the joyful path to your own EcoChi transformation.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Duneier's corporate gift business failed, her husband filed for divorce, and her children went off to college, she made a drastic change: she moved to Manhattan and got her real estate license. On a whim, she decided to investigate feng shui, using what she learned to develop her EcoChi System. In this accessible how-to, Duneier outlines the tenets of EcoChi, which combines the teachings of feng shui, sustainable living, and environmental psychology in order to "create an inviting atmosphere and a place where people feel safe, secure, and embraced," whether in a home, office, or public facility. Duneier cites many EcoChi success stories, including Ann, who found love after changing the art on the wall opposite her bed, and Steven, a former hoarder who gave up much of his clutter. In the final chapter, the author lays out very specific ways you can change your outlook on life with the EcoChi system and make your home or facility more pleasant and environmentally friendly. Duneier's prose is clear and articulate and her system is easy to understand and implement.
