Tao Te Ching Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 10.13.47 PM

This book really doesn’t need an introduction to many; it’s a masterpiece, of the Tao (the way), the way of being. It was written in 600bc by a Chinese sage Lao-tzu. This epic book’s teachings, one by one, are studies in itself. Rich, deep and immensely rewarding. I have read it over and over, and as I grow, the wisdom forever comes into focus.  Buy here

The Power of NowScreen Shot 2019-03-10 at 8.28.20 PM

Written by Eckhart Tolle, this was his first book, based on the principle of the eternal “present moment”. His insights takes you deep into understanding the illusion of the past and future and the importance of living in the “NOW” of life. Buy here 

A New EarthScreen Shot 2019-03-10 at 8.34.02 PM

I loved Eckhart’s first book, and his CD’s, so much I bought his next book, A New Earth. I found this book to be very soul healing in understanding why I had deep scars and needed healing, yet, i’ts truly inspirational to lift you to your highest potential. This book is one of my all-time favourites to recommend to anyone. Buy here

Findhorn Retreat Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 8.37.00 PM

Another well-listened to CD of mine, one of my all-time favourites. I found this years ago and perhaps have listened to it 7-10 times, and each time I get a deeper understanding of Eckhart Tolle’s teachings. Not all teachings are clear at first because you aren’t ready for the message, this is one of those teachings that deliver again and again. Buy here

Autobiography of a Yogi Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 9.19.16 PM

I have read this book at least 9-10 times. This amazing book is about the incredible life and teachings of Yogananda, his Guru Sri Yukashwar, and the lineage of gurus and teachings above them. It’s fascinating, entertaining and deeply spiritually awakening. I love this book, it inspires me, and gives me hope knowing we all can reach our highest level of awakening and true joy. Sir Ben Kinsly narrates the Audible version of this book. Buy here

The Three Pillars of ZenScreen Shot 2019-03-10 at 8.44.40 PM

I heard of this book through another author, who had his first understanding of the concept of the “witness” that lives within all of us. This book explains the Mind in the traditional Zen Buddhist teachings. Buy here

Letting Go Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 8.53.51 PM

This was a more recent read, and it’s epic. It’s about just that- letting-go. Letting go of our old patterns of holding on to emotions created from situations and circumstances that keep us from moving forward and becoming enlightened beings. We all have the potential to become high-vibrational beings free from suffering caused by clinging to the past. Buy here

The Bhagavad Gita Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 11.05.23 PM

said to be written in 800bc,  it’s an epic legend of good and evil that resides in each of us, a story of the conflict of Arjuna the warrior,  and his confiding with his charioteer Krishna (God) over his conflict of fighting. This book is studied and directed line-by-line opening a depth of meaning, knowledge and wisdom. It is by far one of the most classic books ever written. Buy here

The Surrender Experiment Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 9.02.01 PM

A true story written by a hippie who in the late 60’s just wanted to fade into the background and disconnect from everyone and everything after he read the book The Three Pillars of Zen and learning how to meditate. The book and his meditations led him to just let the universe carry him by simply not saying “NO”.  He goes from rags to riches through his spiritual journey and becomes purely happy and astounded of how his life unfolds in harmony. It’s a beautiful story and is full of wisdom and inspiration. Buy here

Rich in the wisdom,  you’ll discover what you can do to put an end to the habitual thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, the author (same author as The Surrender Experiment) shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization. Buy here

Amazing book, forward by Oprah, it’s in its 25th year of print, and universally timeless in its wisdom into our very should and connection to the divine universe, the energy that gives us life and everything we want to manifest in life. After reading this book, I felt at peace with the understanding of our journey into the soul and how we transform and transcend and rebirth. Buy here

Enlightened Sex Screen Shot 2019-03-10 at 10.22.05 PM

Written by David Deida, this book transforms the notion of what the physical, emotional and spiritual relationships can be between partners and in finding freedom and fullness in sexual union. I highly recommend this book for couples wanting to have a deeper more connected relationship. Buy here

The Way of the Superior ManScreen Shot 2019-03-10 at 10.29.45 PM

Another epic book by Tantra master D. Daida. This book explores the polarity of the masculine and feminine in all of us, and the balance between sexual and intimate partners. He explains how we can manoeuvre through the seemingly complicated wants and desires of men and women to breaking it down in real terms how truly magical the dance can be once a man masters his power.

Emperor of Rome, this book was his daily dairy written over 2000 years ago of magnificent wisdom, thoughts, strategy and fortitude that still resonates today and is thoroughly thought-provoking.

Dr. Gabor Mate definitively explains that we create the diseases we have with suppressed emotions of the past. Backed by science and data, example by example, he shows us how to move into a new place in our minds where we can heal ourselves and our body and cure just about anything.  Buy here

BiocentrismScreen Shot 2019-03-11 at 11.16.11 PM

Rob Berman gives a riveting argument that the universe isn’t as much science as it is “pure consciousness”, that its a living, breathing existence that no previous theory, even by Einstein could explain. This book solves all the mysteries of why we are here, that we’re not a fluke, but an “intention”. Buy here

More books always coming…
