How to Live an Exquisite Life
When you live an exquisite life, you do things differently. You take more delight in the little moments. You treat yourself to a luxurious soap from Provence instead of the one from the discount store. You don't just shower, you ferociously and gleefully shower. You don't just eat breakfast, you indulge in a divine feast of gourmet foods. Your whole existence becomes an exquisite experience, every day.
But what does it mean to live an exquisite life? And how can you create more of it? In this episode, Amira will break down the elements that go into creating an exquisite life for you, and show you how to bring these elements into your daily routine. You'll discover the secret that keeps ultra-successful women from experiencing an exquisite life, and how you can overcome it.

'Exquisite' is about the extraordinary adventures of a group of people, drawn together by a shared desire for creative liberation from the constraints of reality. Like the players of a game of Exquisite Corpse, their distinct unconscious works towards a common collective destiny.
This season, we are navigating a series of major shifts and swirling intensities, saturated with loss but also opening into fresh possibilities for repatterning. And while these changes are often challenging, they also provide us with a unique opportunity to access more of our own spiritual depths, and experience the exquisite pleasures of living in the light.
If you want to experience an exquisite life, begin by making a list of all the things that make you happy and grateful. Then, sift through your list and select the ones that you would like to experience more frequently, and then start to create more of them. For example, you might decide to create a habit of gratitude, or a habit of enjoying your food.
Alternatively, you could choose to spend more time with your loved ones. Or you could commit to a ritual of self-care, or a commitment to a more fulfilling career. Whatever your choice, it is important that you fully own your list, flesh it out and play with categorizing it into the V, A, K, O, G and D (Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory and Delicatessen) aspects of your life.

The book is a testament to the power and beauty of this beloved American poet, who strove to write about real life with a lyrical touch.
