Good Reads

Since I was 11, I've felt like religion/Spirituality is a daily way of life. Many years later, I came across this book which is a Spiritual self-study & mind training course that suggests at all times we're only choosing between Love or fear. This has given me an empowering context to live from especially in challenging times.

Nostalgia! This one holds a special place because it was one of the first books I finished at the early-ish stage of my journey. I still remember I was stuck on the trust principle for at least a week! LOL. The journal format helped me tap into a discipline that I didn't know I had.

This book was unlike anything I'd ever read before. I was searching and uncertain about what my life and purpose was. It suggests that we all have a purpose to fulfill which can be uncovered through archetypes. It helped me gain a better sense of my gifts, challenges, purpose, and potential.

Much of Spiritual growth and development is cerebral and neglects how to heal our emotions. For a deep feeler/empath like me, I credit this book with my first steps to grow and heal emotionally. Through its practical teachings and the assignments (the process), I felt so much lighter afterwards.

This book called my name! I noticed it at a bookstore (yes I still prefer books) and decided to put it back on the shelf yet, it stayed on my mind for days, weeks, maybe even months. I finally bought it and realized that it was exactly what I needed! Over a decade later, it is still one of the few books I reread every now and again.

Thanks to Sacred Contracts, I uncovered one of my contributions and potentialities is as an artist. No wonder I hated my finance job! Artistry and creativity was not an aspect that was valued, nurtured, or cultivated in my life up until that point so this book helped me get my footing.

There are some books that just live with you, that permeate your mind and your life as you read them. This was one of those books for me. While I don't recall many of the details, what has stayed with me was the deep healing and recognition I felt while reading it.

If you couldn't tell, I love me some Iyanla! (I know that's not proper grammar) My Mom had her books when I was growing up so I've read several but this by far is my favorite. Her vulnerability was so striking and demonstrates how we teach what we most want to learn.

This book was recommended to me by a wonderful soul who has a commitment to healing the Divine Feminine. I'll admit I found the cover off-putting at first but I've loved Bolen's other books & gave it a shot. I'm so glad I did. Sometimes our greatest gifts are on the other side of resistance. Learning of the different Greek Goddesses and seeing my Self in them has been cathartic, revelatory, and life-changing.

For all my empaths out there! I was told many years ago I was an empath however, it took many years for me to realize how the shadow side of being an empath infiltrated every area of my life, like not speaking up for myself so I didn't hurt the other person's feelings. This book helped me name what was happening and provided visualizations to get back in balance.

You can't go wrong with any of her books, I've read almost all of them. Found them online first and the content spoke to my soul. I'd highly recommend you check out their website. There is so much content you can start with and if it speaks to your soul, then more than likely the books will resonate too.
