Self-care as a practice of renewal

Debrena Jackson Gandy frames self-care as part of a balanced life, challenging the idea that making time for oneself is selfish. The guide brings together practical ways to care for the body and nurture the spirit, from a relaxing bath to time set aside for meditation. It also connects personal renewal with everyday relationships and responsibilities, presenting care for oneself as something that can benefit the people around you. Written with African-American women in mind, the book considers both the value of these practices and how they can fit into busy lives without requiring extensive time or expense.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • African-American women interested in self-care and inner renewal

Book overview

Originally self-published to enormous acclaim and demand, Sacred Pampering Principles is a beautifully written guide with hundreds of easy and innovative ways for on-the-go women to pamper their bodies and nurture their spirits.

With her holistic approach to filling your life with comfort, balance, and peace, Debrena Jackson Gandy debunks society's myth that doing something for yourself is decadent and selfish. In fact, she says, the joy we gain from treating ourselves--whether to a luxuriant bath or to a meditative hour alone--is transferred to the people in our lives. When we emerge rejuvenated, others benefit from a patient mother, a fulfilled wife, an effective coworker, a solidly grounded friend.

Written for African-American women, but accessible to women of all races, Sacred Pampering Principles demonstrates not only pampering ideas, but also explains why pampering, for less time and money than one might imagine, is vital to a balanced life.
