The Standing Stones Speak:
Messages From The Archangels Revealed

My most comforting book , this one is a written as a true gift from God . With a presentation style unlike any other book, this one is like a deeply private conversation between the reader and their special angel guides. I can almost guarantee that you will have a deeper understanding of yourself AND your spiritual nourishment source after reading this book… I can honestly say that after several cover to cover readings, I have discovered a new and refreshing burst of hope for my purpose in life … I love this book!



Hands of Light:
A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field

This is the first book that seemed to truly speak to my right and left brain need for self discovery …. a unique perspective steeped in scientific reality on how and why we are here and what purpose we are here to accomplish with our lives …this one REALLY makes you think and sets you on a journey of self discovery that once you begin you can never go back. Brennan explains the human bio energy field or AURA with such detail and step by step instruction that anyone is able to begin to see this amazing sight surrounding every living being.



Embraced by The Light

I was directed to this book when my friend's 17 year old son was killed in a car crash. Betty's true story was a soul saver for me because it filled with me hope and a peaceful understanding that there is a purpose in life …and death. A short easy read, I highly recommend this book not only in times of death but rather as an entry point to begin your journey of self discovery.



Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life

On a recommendation, I picked up this book and was pleasantly surprised because of the insights I discovered …about me! With a unique perspective on how our handwriting not only reveals our personality but with just a few minor changes in your penmanship you can actually make a targeted change within your own life…. This one had me practicing my chicken scratch for months …any you know what ? …it worked!



The Dynamic Laws of Healing

During an illness, the new age mindset has been to prescribe positive changes in your life in order to heal . I agree completely but for most folks knowing exactly WHAT those changes need to be and how the changes will effect the ailing body is something that has always been a mystery…. till now. With a progressive step by step outline, Ponder describes specific mindset changes that are easy to understand and once implemented will prove to make noticeable improvement in your life and well being.



Beyond Belief:
The Gospel of Thomas

The gospel of Thomas …some call it hearsay others see these verses as the basis of the widely accepted 4 canonical gospels. For me it was a real burst of light and fresh air, now it's your turn!



The Eight Human Talents:
The Yoga Way to Restore the Balance and Serenity Within You

For yoga students seeking a reason WHY yoga works , this book is a must read. From a perspective involving both the energetic charka system and physical hormonal functioning, Gurmukh details specific yoga poses that will activate certain aspects of the body that will bring targeted ( and dramatic ) results ! This is the one book that I refer to a regular basis and find myself teaching classes based on her concepts and understanding of yoga… if you can't already tell, I love this book!



Light Emerging

A companion book to the best seller HANDS of LIGHT , this book goes into a more in -depth exploration of the human energy field ( aura ) and how to manipulate this field in order to bring about positive changes in our lives.



The Book of Chakra Healing

A great basic primer for anyone looking to venture into the human energy field and the power house within. Working with crystals and the power of understanding, Simpson explains the practice of taking charge of our own bodies to a level of everyday comprehension … a good book to keep handy for day to day reference!



Gemisphere Luminary

For anyone interested a more in depth understanding of the healing powers of crystals this book is an excellent resource for attributing individuals stones to specific healing properties . Written as a direct channeling , this book places the mystery of the ancients into a modern setting and gives us hope for a future bright with unlimited potential in the field of self healing and empowerment.



Gems of the 7 Color Rays

I love this book for its gem by gem direct approach and it's easy to understand healing knowledge for each stone . Lacking quality photographs is the only complaint I have on this one!



Life on the Other Side:
A Psychic's Tour of the Afterlife

Sylvia is Sylvia but you have to appreciate her unique spin on life and her deep desire to truly want to help others find the peace that they were sent here to discover.



Anatomy of the Spirit:
The Seven Stages of Power and Healing

The book that started it all, this one is a true masterpiece of thinking out of the box so that the world will have a true blueprint for self discovery . Coupling the human energy power source known as the charka system with basic human traits this book helps us to understand ourselves from the inside out… thank you Carolyn!



Sacred Contracts:
Awakening Your Divine Potential

Continuing on her mission to enlighten the masses to their own human potential, Carolyn links commonly recognizable personality types ( he's a nerd, she the perfect mother etc ) with the signs of the zodiac and the most amazing results happen …. You begin to truly understand and appreciate your own talents AND shortcomings!
