Reading list
A guaranteed question that will arise in any of my meditation courses is the request for which books I would recommend on meditation, consciousness, spirituality and beyond. As our minds begin to expand, there comes a thirst for more knowledge and wisdom to help us along our personal journeys, find new perspectives for old challenges and make meaning from this wondrous thing we call life.
Each of the books below has captivated me with their unique abilities to pose answers to some of life's biggest questions, help me find new ways of thinking or offer different ways of being, living and loving in this world.
