Her book is based on years of personal experience and training, supporting the bereaved through a structure and pace that offers practical and psychological support on a day by day basis.They should be in the living room too, otherwise it will feel like you’re among your friends and it won’t be the relaxing vibe you need as you fall asleep. We almost always feel better in a beautiful, balanced space, and that’s a step in the right direction to health, wealth and happiness. Since I'd already done that, reading this felt slightly redundant and I don't think I acquired any new information.

I would avoid red as it can destroy the water element, and if you have no window you must invest in a high quality vent to avoid stale air.
