Five Stars for an Original Winner!
Kathryn L. Robyn's book, Spiritual Housecleaning, could be subtitled, "Healing the Space within by Reading about Beautifying the Space Around You." But that would not be Robyn's message. To heal, you have to actually do the work. Somehow she doesn't make it feel like work. The book is so inspiring, I found myself cleaning out the refridgerator and pantry before I even finished it. The book is entertaining, insightful, witty, down to earth, even poignant. Its spiritual ideas span ancient and contemporary philosophies of the East and West alike. As a person in a helping profession, I can attest to its psychological accuracy as well. As creative as it is practical, I have never read a book that combined such welcome simpicity and complexity under one cover. On second thought, I have never read such a book, period. Cudos to Ms. Robyn for a real original.

Housecleaning Will Lift Your Spirits
When I began reading "Spiritual Housecleaning", my intention was to read the book through; then on second reading I would actually work the book, doing all the exercises and consciously evaluating every room of my home. It can't be coincidental that, by the time I was half way through, I had painted a bedroom, recarpeted my house, and replaced several items in my bathroom that I had avoided focusing on for some time...In this book, Ms. Robyn touches you "where you live" with a delightful sense of humor and a gentle sense of understanding and encouragement. Anyone in any living situation who reads this book will come out the other side with a clearer idea of how their home environment affects them while learning how to create a more healing and "sacred" space for themselves.

Finally a book that inspires as well as educates.
What I love about this book is that it made me want to clean, and inspired me to reorganize. The importance of which can not be underestimated! I have read most of the organizing and Feng Shui books out on the market, and while each have had their value, not one of them inspired me to do much of anything.
Spiritual Housecleaning, on the other hand, is filled with breath and spirit. It taught me HOW to understand and enjoy the process. As a result, I was able to feel my way through many of the difficult tasks, and keep my energy up long enough to get past my personal issues. A diehard employer of maid services, after the first week, I was able to reduce the number of hours my maid spends at my house. But there is more even beyond that, for the text is so rich in its content, it allowed me see past my comfortable cozy home, and into a place where I could be more supported. This is leading me to a much needed lifestyle change.
I highly recommend Spiritual Housecleaning to anyone who wants to make a change in their spiritual home.
