Dream Healer Series
by Adam
As many of my readers know, I've studied many healing modalities, and spent a lot on my education as 1. a Reiki Master, 2. a student of Dr. Kam Yuen learning his Yuen Energetics, and 3. studying under Dr. Eric Pearl learning his Reconnective Healing™ techniques. I have to say that in these simple, easily understandable books by Adam, all the information about energetic healing I have spent years learning, is broken down into its simplest and purest form that anyone can immediately utilize.
His first book "Dreamhealer: His Name is Adam," is more an autobiographical account written when he was only 16 years old. It outlines the discovery and development of his healing abilities as he shares his insights, thoughts, observations and wisdom about the mind/body connection in all healing.
Adam's second book Dreamhealer 2: Guide to Self-Empowerment instructs us how to tap into our own healing abilities though the use of his dramatic visualization techniques. This one simple, straightforward book can start you on the path to healing or enhance the healing modalities you currently utilize.

Love
Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals
by Melody
A most
comprehensive reference book on the metaphysical properties
of crystals, minerals, gems and stones along with practical
applications and preparation. A bible for crystal workers and
very readable for beginners. I would also highly recommend the
companion book, Love
Is in the Earth - Mineralogical Pictorial by the same
author, featuring full-color photographs of crystals and minerals,
it really came in handy when a local rock shop had mislabeled
their barite... I hate when that happens...

Stones of the New Consciousness
by Robert Simmons
Stones of the New Consciousness is Robert Simmons' newest delving into the spiritual realms of crystals and gemstones. His new approach involves working co-creatively with the spiritual beings of which the physical stones are the material expressions. One of the important results of this sort of work is that the beneficial qualities of the stones are "freed into the World" rather than simply taken for our own benefit. This leads us to fulfill our joint destiny with the Soul of the World, making the Earth a Planet of Light.
The path of this book takes us into the labyrinth of DNA, into tales of crystals in ancient myths, the secrets of Atlantis, the possibilities of immortality and the promise of a destiny beyond our most sacred dreams.
Robert Simmons details the personalities and longings of over fifty powerful Stones of the New Consciousess, suggests new ways of meeting the beings behind the stones, and offers new information about working within grids and stone-enhanced environments, and creating potent synergies of stones in necklaces. This book is a leap beyond the past paradigms in which stones and the Earth were imagined as dead objects or conceptualized entities. It is a journey into the mystery of a living spiritual realm that is present here in the world of matter. It is a world longing for us.

Moldavite: Starborn Stone of Transformation
by Robert Simmons and Kathy Warner
The definitive book on the strange and wonderful gemstone, Moldavite, the gem that fell to earth.
Moldavite is the gem that fell to Earth. These rare green stones, scientifically classifed with tektites, showered down us molten droplets on what is now the Czech Republic, around 14.8 million years ago. They have heen treasured by humans, as tools and as talismans, for at least 25,000 years.
Robert Simmons and Kathy Helen Warner investigate Moldavite in its scientific and mythic dimensions, and especially in regard to its spiritual applications. They relate their personal story of discovery, and they share letters from people who detail the powerful effects Moldavite has had on their lives. They offer theories regarding the role of Moldavite as awakener and accelerator of our spiritual evolution, as well as their designs for Moldavite-based Light tools, jewelry and energy environments, Also explored are the connection of Moldavite to the legendary Stone of the Holy Grail, and the curious recurrence of the magical green stone from the heavens in modern myths and stories. This book opens a door to a new dimension of our inner world, and a pathway for those who wish to bring Light to the Earth. |

The Incarnation of CatMan Billy
by Will Jordan
My dear friend Will Jordan's first novel "The Incarnation of CatMan Billy" is an enchanting tale of a man who comes back to earth as a cat. His former feline friends greet him as spirit guides to teach him Connection, Lightness, Seniority, DreamSpace...and how to be a cat.
At the heart of this fable is a perilous journey undertaken by a rag-tag gang of barn cats, a pair of dogs, a deer and a bunny who set out to save a caged mountain lion from poachers. This unlikely circle of friends is led by the white & black Man/Kitten named Billy.
Jordan weaves this adventurous tale with the basics of practical energy work, metaphysics and his own, often heart-breaking personal biography. Imagine "Watership Down" meets "The Celestine Prophecy," embellished with the principles of "The Law of Attraction." You'll also learn basic techniques as taught by the Berkeley Psychic Institute of grounding, protection, clearing and owning your space and manifesting while engaged in a highly entertaining, and at times laugh-out-loud funny piece of masterful story-telling. Read an excerpt HERE.

A Woman's Intimate Journey Through Life's Biggest Challenges
by Theresa Rose
There was an amazing bit of magical synchronicity I experienced in acquiring and finally reading...no, DEVOURING this incredible book! It only took four hours, 3 strawberries, and a pot and a half of coffee on a lovely morning out on my patio....I couldn't put this book down. Empowering, enlightening, courageous, outrageous, funny and an inspiring page-turner. I was reminded of who I am, and why I'm here, and found such a sisterhood and kindred spirit in Theresa Rose.

Your Soul's Plan:
Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born
by Robert Schwartz
The book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born by Robert Schwartz explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four gifted mediums and channels. The book presents the actual conversations people had with their future parents, children, spouses, friends, and other loved ones when they planned their lives together. For readers, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace. Read an excerpt HERE.

Ancient
Teachings for Beginners
by Douglas De Long
This
is a book for further reading for those who care to get a
glimpse of the ancient schools as well as learn the teachings.
Now this book isn't for everyone. Especially not for people
who haven't yet grasped the fact that they chose their life
and lessons, or live in a worldly way of thought. In the wrong
hands the things taught can be dangerous.
The
introduction states that the author is a spiritual/personal
councilor, past life therapist and chakra master. You can contact
the author for more information or questions. The first chapter
introduces the reader to the different schools beginning with
Atlantis to Egypt. It talks about the school at the Sphinx then
moves on to the Lost Teachings of Jesus, the Essenes, Jewish
Kabala, Hinduism, Buddha, Persia, Greece, The Magi, The Mithraism
and Christianity and the loss of spirituality. Chapters two
through five goes into teaching you about the "Third Eye" chakra and the crown chakra. What they are, how they work and
also teaches you how to use it to read auras. Chapter six teaches
about the entire chakra system how it works, how to open them
through different meditations and techniques. The seventh chapter
teaches about Kundalini and chakra energy for healing and enlightenment.
The next chapters 8,9 go into the how to of channeling your
spirit guides, astral projection. The last two chapters 10 and
11 talk about reincarnation, and the masters last days. This
book is a good starting point for those who are interested to
begin on a path of developing their psychic abilities.

This
is a book of life lessons written with wisdom and humor from
a Native American viewpoint. Jamie [I feel like I know her]
uses her own experiences to add depth and guidance in this
illuminating read. ”The seven paths of human transformation
are wheels of experience reflecting the manner in which human
beings learn how to use life force. They are not linear, and
each individual embraces lessons on several paths at the same
time.”[pg. 7] I found it well worth the time and will
add it to my ever-growing reference library.

The
Unimaginable Life : Lessons Learned on the Path of Love
by Kenny
and Julia Loggins
An
incredibly loving and courageous book that can be described
as an instruction manual for twin souls. Many people won't "get" this book, or understand the nature of this
all-encompassing, passionate, sacred, healing, maddening,
blissful, confronting and challenging relationship between
souls. Kenny and Julia push through comfort and niceties to
bare their genuine selves, warts and all... and they gift
us with the tools and knowledge they acquired to heal, grow
and transform into LOVE. |

Twin
Souls : Finding Your True Spiritual Partner
by Patricia Joudry, Maurie D. Pressman, Md.
For anyone
who has been swept into the indescribably magical and bewildering
meeting with their Twin Soul or Twin Flame, this book is a comfort
and a confirmation. For those who don't know what a Twin Soul
is, this offers a excellent explanation of the phenomena...
word of warning, this is not a "How to Find a Soulmate"
book, the meeting of twin souls is usually challenging on spiritual,
emotional, mental and physical levels and not always the "happily
ever after" on this plane of existance at least...

The
Impersonal Life: The Little Book in Which Elvis Found the Light:
Graceland Edition
In
honor of the 25th anniversary of King's passing, here's the
perfect tribute... a peanut butter and 'nanner samwich for the
soul. This small book was "anonymously" written in
1916 by one Joseph S. Benner and it reads like an early version
of "Conversations
With God". It is said to have been Elvis's favorite
book next to the Bible and he gave out copies to friends and
acquaintances by the score. Elvis spent much of his life in
spiritual contemplation and took to wearing both a crucifix
and a Star of David... once saying he didn't want to miss out
on heaven on a technicality. It's little wonder that his only
Grammy winning recordings were gospel songs. Rumor has it that
on that fateful night of August 16th 1977, "The King"
was reading a book on spirituality when he succumbed on the
"throne".

Born
to Be Together : Love Relationships, Astrology, and the Soul
by Terry Lamb
A cosmic
road map for your relationships, the challenges and strengths
that have drawn you together and the spiritual work and healing
to be done in this lifetime. A good book for the studious beginner
who is willing to do a little work with chart calculations and
comparision... the lazy would-be astrologer should stick with
the simple sun sign compatibilities of
Linda Goodman's Love Signs.
I would
also recommend my dog-earred copy of
Karmic Relationships by Martin Schulman, a great reference
guide to karmic and spiritual relationship aspects.
|
|
|
This book
really made the mechanics of astrology begin to make sense to
me. The author makes astrology accessible to the beginner and
her thorough interpretations of the spiritual and karmic meanings
of planetary aspects will interest even the more advanced student.
