Sunlight on Water: A Manual for Soul-Full Living - Flo Aeveia Magdalena
The premise of this wonderful book full of practical exercises for waking up ourselves and those around us is this:
- There is a space for each one of us in the world with our name on it... and our part is the lead part.
- No matter who we are, it's the lead. Because only we can play it, and without us it doesn't happen.
- If we have the thought, the world is ready. If we have the urgency, it's time.

The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle

A New Earth: Awakening to your life’s purpose - Eckhart Tolle
A New Earth goes way beyond concepts and ideas, just reading it can help create a shift in perception and consciousness. In some ways this book is even more accessible than ‘The Power of Now’, and yet it goes so much deeper. Eckhart Tolle describes how the whole history of humanity has been dominated by our illusory sense of ‘self’, the ego, and how this state of being has kept us trapped. His description of the different roles we play and how we can interact from those roles to bolster our own egos is deeply moving, and there is a n especially good section on conscious parenting.
The book then goes on to show us how we can learn to stop carrying the past, transcend our thinking minds, and awaken to a new sense of joy that is beyond words and beyond understanding.

The Journey - Brandon Bays
Brandon Bays’ original book The Journey describes how her diagnosis of a uterine tumour was the catalyst to her creation of ‘Journey work’, a deceptively simple process for accessing and clearing cell memories allowing us to release the ‘baggage’ (both emotional and physical) and experience true freedom on all levels. This is a good introduction to The Journey, and is especially useful to read before attending a Journey Intensive weekend where you learn the skills needed to carry out Journey Process work with yourself and others.

Opening Doors Within - Eileen Caddy
Eileen Caddy was a co-founder and later the head of the spiritually pioneering Findhorn Community in Scotland, and this little book contains 365 pieces of guidance that she received during her meditations - one for each day of the year.
The messages in Opening Doors Within give simple and practical advice for living life with more joy, love and inspiration. They are about learning to trust 100% in the process of living, to trust the Universe, God, the Divine Source or whatever name you give to it. They affirm the inherent wisdom and intelligence present in everything, including ourselves, which can be found simply by becoming still and listening to ‘the small voice within’.

I Remember Union: The Story of Mary Magdalena - Flo Aeveia Magdalena
This is the story of Mary Magdalena, Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot, and their soul agreements with ‘The Nameless Ones’ and with each other, to play their parts in the greatest drama of all time. The purpose of this drama?, so that 2000 years later mankind will remember the divine plan.
I Remember Union is unlike any other book; the way it is written, the language, the typesetting, it has reduced people to tears and the meaning deepens with each read. The sense of perspective that it gives us of our own lives is overwhelming, and can help us see the incredible dance that takes place between the souls we meet in our own lifetimes, and how they play their parts perfectly as the divine plan unfolds.
Its description of ‘The Void’ will also resonate with anyone who has experienced the feeling of letting go and stepping into the black hole during Journey Process work, just breathtaking... highly recommended.

The Moses Code - James Twynam
James Twyman reveals the code that was given to Moses with which he created some of the greatest miracles in history, and shows how it can be used to create miracles in our lives, and in the world, today.
At the very heart of The Moses Code is the true meaning of the Law of Attraction. You may have heard or read that this Law is all about ‘getting’ the things you want, the ‘stuff’ that you think will make your life more satisfying - money, relationships, personal success, etc. But that's just the first step, and Twyman describes how true miracles come about when we focus on what we are willing to ‘give’ rather than what we are hoping to ‘get’.

The Celestine Prophesy - James Redfield
The Celestine Prophesy was first published in 1994, and spread rapidly by word of mouth. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystalize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life... and to direct your next steps with a new energy and understanding.
It is a really good introduction to the concepts of how our individual energy has a dramatic effect on everything around us, from the people we meet to the food we eat, and describes beautifully the sense of expansiveness and connectedness experienced by one of the main characters when they first learn to meditate.
