The Four Agreements: Don Miguel Ruiz.. Don’s book got me to really truly understand the phrase.. You teach people how to treat you.
Iyanla Vanzant: read anything by this chic.. I resonated with her a lot.. I resonate it with anyone who was told or logically speaking should not still be alive with where she too started.. A must read: in the meantime
Barbara Brennan: Hands Of Light .. This book really got me into knowing about chakras, life purpose, healing work..
James Van Praagh: read anything by him… especially talking to heaven, (it exists and is not as far away as you think!) He is the most incredible spiritual medium on the planet... I trained in mediumship with him at Omega Institute. He opened my eyes to believing in what I could not see, but could feel, and he (and my good friend who passed, Tracey Camara) opened me back up to believing again!!! He is also the producer of tv show: Ghost Whisperer.

Healing With Whole Foods: you will never look at eating, or your vital organs the same way again.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull : read this in one sitting,then take flight in your own life.. You were meant to you know!
Conversations With God: Neale Donald Walsh .. A book I never thought I would want to read..what blocks your path is your path.. Also Friendship With God, is a lifesaver too..
Try this: take any of these books, and open up the book anywhere.. Random! That is the message for you.. Truth? There are no accidents…
A few books for kids:
Karma Kids: incorporating practical buddhism into your every day parenting.. This is where I learned about the Buddha Bowl

A Course In Miracles: many are called , but few are chosen!!!!!!!!!!
Walden: Henry David Thoreau
Okay, so that is enough for now.. I got a ton more, but hey less of a list is more sometimes…. Listen, here is what I want you to know, if your on this site, if your doing yoga, have the slightest inclination to read some of these gems, go see some of the teachers or studios I talked about….then, you too are on a bigger path, yourself! You too, are being gently, or roughly, awakened, depending on what is going down in your life.. It is always about something so much bigger than what you or I can see at the time…anyway, let’s be real.. Cause personally, and all to well, I know what I am talking about…. Most likely, you will find one of these books at a time in your life, you feel a hunger for something , food can’t suffice, or because something in your life is going down in such a way, you are brought to your knees, if stuff in your life is falling apart, it is on purpose…. We only fall apart to be put back together.. And you too are being divinely guided! To get you back on your true path.. If your interested in what I am saying, these teachers, this book learning, then.. All that means is that you are being asked by god to get awakened as to who you too truly are.. And release who you are not!!
You know deep down, you are a light worker yourself, a teacher or yoga, a healer, an activist on some level to bring good back to our global brady bunch! You too are here to take your life, accept it, learn from it, heal the parts that are not working and grow mad love for yourself so you can love others in such a way that is also meant to serve and inspires and upgrades the rest of us in a way that raises the global consciousness.. You want healing on this planet? You want it all to stop? You want your kids to not repeat our history of world diaster, etc.. Then, you too have a bigger plan for being here while you are alive and kicking.. Any of this spiritual buffet I recommended will remind you to go inside , find what needs to be tuned up within and work on you, not talk about what everyone else needs to do to fix themselves.. Let them have the privelege of doing their own journey, just upgrade yourself, then be a living example for others…inspire them to make the changes you did.. This stuff , these people I recommend, or my own classes, for example.. They are just stepping stones to guide you.. Back to you!!!! Your power is already in you.. This stuff just gently gets you back to rise and shine into what you deep down already know!!!
Be the change you want to see in your world!!!!!!!! And watch our good old usa be a country to really really be proud to be part of..
I adore you.. Check back later .. There will be more..it is bottomless.. And only ever tools to put you back on top!
Namaste, aim
