Recommended Reading/Listening/Viewing

Walk into a bookstore you like and watch what aisle you are drawn to. See if a book practically falls off the shelf at your feet – this can happen as you open to Universal energy and create space for the non-ordinary to occur. If a book seems to glow or pop out at you, you probably need to read it – there's information there for you. It may be just a word or an idea, but it's something you can use at this time.

Following is a partial listing of books, films, and audio recordings that I have either personally read, watched, or listened to, or that have been recommended by others. The list is "partial" simply because new material is constantly being published and produced. You might also want to explore other material by the same author(s).
