A book that helped me a lot to understand the purpose of life was A Course in Miracles, but I could not understand it well, until it came into my life 3 books that helped me clearly understand the message, these books are by the same author, Gary R. Renard 1. The disappearance of the universe. 2. Your immortal reality: how to break the cycle of birth and death and 3. Love has not forgotten anyone: the answer to life. I really hope you feel inspired to read them because I think that will change our lives.🌸
@@pittufa1985 I love the Course and it's definitely life changing also but that's precisely why I didn't include it here! It's not an easy read and we may not be ready for it until we read some other ones first. :)
Christina Lopes ¡Absolutely! That is why I read the three books of Gary R. Renard. I understood perfectly the book of A Course in Miracles. I'm finishing the exercise book, but this message is something for the rest of this apparent life.🌸
Conversations with God is the book that set me free. All 3 books. Because the truth "awareness" set me free. When I understood who I am at soul level I was able to let go of fear, anger, and bitterness. I will always, always recommend this book. It helped me move forward when I saw myself going through the dark night of the soul. We are one 💕
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho started my spiritual awakening journey at age 14. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne at age 19. I am now 25 and getting back to it!
Just bought 4 books on this list to add to my growing pile of spiritual must-reads in my bedroom... Goodbye, social life! Thanks Christina, you're such a warm, bright light. xx
Best top 20 book 📚 list ever. Everyone else have the same stuff. This is different, I read 50% already on the list since I saw this video. Please make a part 2… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😁
The trilogy conversations with god did it for me also eckart tolle since then i read over 50 books and still reading 3 years ago i had not read one book now i can't get enough. Thank you
The book that gave me another perspective of life is “Radical forgiveness”, by Colin C Tipping. This book unblocked my heart and lead me through spiritual awakening. I strongly recommend this book for your views.
James Redfield An Experiential Guide has been a life saver for me...!!! The four control dramas, helped to put everything into perspective... We love 💘 you...!!!
"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". I first read it about 25 years ago (so, about 24 years before my awakening started). It totally opened me up to the possibility of a spiritual awakening (even though it took a LONG time to get there). I read "Many Lives, Many Masters" on my shaman's recommendation following our first mushroom ceremony, which wound up being the catalyst for my awakening. I'm going back to read "A New Earth" now because I haven't read it since my awakening.
The Untethered Soul as well as the Surrender Experiment both changed my life and started my acknowledgment of my awakening that I had been in for many years already but didn’t realize it. I just bought The Celestine Prophecy as well and am excited for that… my husband is reading it first. I own a new Earth as well and I have never read it. I should definitely read that one too.
Way of the Peaceful Warrior - Dan Millman Illusions - Richard Bach The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams I read all these as a young adult a long time ago. Makes me wanna read them all again!
I never see any ads on your videos. How do you make money? We dont mind watching ads to support creators that we like! Celestine Prophecy was my introduction to spirituality!
I don't monetize my videos on purpose! I prefer to drive people to my website where they work with me through coaching if they feel resonance. But thanks for asking! That's sweet.
Thank you from every part of my soul for this. I've written every one of these down, crying my eyes out. Why? Because I've been in the book business for over 30 years. Recently, I had to give up my job, but want to go into the book business again. All that time I was surrounded by these titles, I ignored every single one, and when I lost/left my job, I felt like I lost my window, because I no longer have the funds to buy the books. Now that I've awakened, I want to read these titles and authors voraciously, and never take such things for granted again. So, THANK YOU. 💖
Just came back to say that I read The Untethered Soul. ❤️ now I’m here for another one...to read in between the emotional purges and distractions from deeper emotional purges lol. I know they’re waiting to be felt and released, but ego wants a break sometimes haha. 😂😂 thanks for being my “spirit guide” if I can call you that. You’re helping me learn to trust and surrender. ❤️ I’ve been pulling out my thorns...and even though that shit hurts, I’m glad I am.

Your first book is actually changing my life and helping me remember some old trauma that I didn't recognize or knew were traumatic. For example, I used to wake up in the middle of the night unable to breathe and my heart beating fast - so scared I was going to die for no reason. It never occurred to me that I was having panic attacks until you described it in the book - for a long time I forgot that used to happen. I still don't know why that happened and why I'm always thinking about death, but you're giving me tools to try to figure it out in your book. Thank you!
Thank you for this list! I'm just starting out on my spiritual awakening journey, but I feel that reading Siddhartha in high school was the first stepping stone to free thinking for me, as I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness in a very strict and dysfunctional household. The book resonated so deeply with me and opened my mind to the possibility of love and peace beyond what I had been spoon-fed since childhood. Another book that was utterly life changing for me, while not spiritual, was Why Does He Do That? by Lundy Bancroft. Shortly after leaving my religion and getting married at the age of 20, I ended up in a highly abusive scenario for seven long years, and that book saved my life (quite literally). It may show its age in some ways by now, but the advice for those in controlling relationships is timeless. I read through the book four times in a row, frantically highlighting and making notes as I realized the truth of my reality. Truly, truly life-changing for my specific experience. Freeing myself from my marriage and the religion I was raised in has paved the way to what is now my spiritual awakening and freedom, and I am endlessly grateful for these books and ravenous to read more that will help open my perspective to the endless possibilities here on this beautiful planet.
Funny, I also read Lundy Bancroft’s book. Maybe it’s almost 2 years ago now didn’t seem dated to me. (Unfortunately.). Loved it too. Really helped me understand.
I just have to say, I love you ... and on a completely different level; a little back story: I am a baby Christian I started my journey about 7 years ago, I fell away of corse (learning the word through man only, can have that effect lol) .. about 2 years ago, I started getting a very strong pull towards something and I couldn’t pin point it, I tried to ignore it and push it away; eventually it kept resurfacing. I reached out to my pastor, he didn’t have much to say to help AND THEN!!!! the following month I met a teacher a mediator, let’s say, and he started teaching me and I have found myself with the seeds he planted and then I found you ! The other day I met a twin flame, he is a friends husband so I hope she doesn’t feel weird about it haha. But I can talk/stare in his eyes for HOURS... I have noticed as I move forward in this amazing journey and pair the Christian faith (KJV only) I am learning so much about who God made us all to be and all we need is truths; and you Christina are an everyday staple in my life and my journey... so I love you !! I really HONESTLY can say I love everyone, I have an intense feeling of connection to everyone and now to everything (God created with his own hands). I feel alone a lot but I’m not lonely it’s an amazingly freeing feeling ❤️❤️
Recently just finished The Power of Now, it was awe-inspiring. Think I came to the right place, wasn't sure what to read next. I think a New Earth & The Surrender Experiment’s next on my list.
Awareness by Anthony de Mello (wish he was alive) changed my life completely. Some years ago I juggle Anthony, Tolle and Byron Katie. But Anthony is the best! So to the point. Now I’m moving on with Byron Katie’s teachings.
Great list Christina. I will check out some of these titles. A book that was life changing for me was Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto. This is not a spiritual text but it helped accelarate my awakening to understand the world we live in and why people seem cut off. Gatto traces the history of schooling to deliberate intent to controlling the masses. Big part of my awakening was awakening out of being schooled and controlled. The other book is the New Earth. In the first chapter Eckhart describes the spiritual beauty of our natural environment so nicely which convinced me there are bigger forces at play.
I've read a few of these and can also chime in that reading The Power of Now was a profound turning point for me. As for your list, I was instantly drawn to start at the end. I just cracked open Sacred Success and realized why I was called to that one. I'm going to end up re-opening my Course in Miracles, aren't I? Thanks Christina.
I loved this video soooooo much ..💐 And I liked more "many lives many masters" ..I absolutely wish having it any way..thanks so much Christina..you are always fruitful and great ..my blessings 🤲💖🌷
I also love to read about people who overcame trials! Lots of cool books I plan on reading. Heal your Life changed my life! Thanks for your book recommendations!
The Celestine prophecy and Many life many masters were my intro.. Like 30 years ago.. Now I'm going over your list..doing audio books :) I loved The Surrender Experiment, Conversations with God, also into the Magic Shop. I also listened to "A New Earth, "Change your thoughts change your life" and The Way to Love. Next I think will be "The last laugh" ... Lots of homework!! :)). Thank you ❤
I have been improved by these: Every Word has Power - Yvonne Oswald The Shack - William Paul Young The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz The Hidden Messages in Water - Masaru Emoto
Wow thanks dude. ❤️ The list I didn’t know I needed. If I can remember “my timeline” I think A New Earth was the first book that changed my life. It put the chaos into perspective and I didn’t feel as alone anymore.
Danielle Rodgers 💗 I was just listening to a sample from A New Earth today, felt drawn to it, yes. Do you think it can help with one struggling with embodying peace and joy in times of stress outside in the world, and within, too? 🌸💗🌸
Great list. I've read a few others are going to my library right now. My first spiritual book was the game of life. I follow Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolls, Don Miguel Ruiz, Deepak Chopra and others. Thank you so much for sharing. Many blessings to all. 🙏🦋💙
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔 read New Earth before my spiritual awakening and absolutely did not understand it and after my spiritual awakening I understood it. It has helped me navigate my spiritual awakening, and planning to read it again. Just fascinated on how this was also your experience
i got the book change your thought and change your life, i got it in audio too, and atm i found in YT the book conversation with God i like it. so the universe guide me to which to listen and to read. still thankful i found you.
Hi, Christina! Some of the books that I have read are Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Speaks, Victor Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning and Pema Chödrön's When Things Fall Apart. Currently, I am reading Jiddu Krishnamurti's Reflections On The Self. There were other short spiritual articles that helped me tremendously as well. I also love Rumi's works which mostly centers on Love. I would love to find a copy of your recommended books, hardcopy if possible. Thank you for sharing those wonderful books with us. Peace and blessings!
Great choices! I love Pema. As for hard copies, if you click on the links in the description box, you'll notice Amazon gives you the option of choosing Kindle or paperback/hardback.
Most of the books which I´ve read are in spanish because that´s my native language but I´m sure that they have been translated into english: 1- El Milagro Más Grande del Mundo." de Og Mandino; 2- "El Poder está dentro de Ti." de Louise Hay; 3- "El Poder del Ahora." de Eckhart Tolle; 4- "Un Curso de Milagros." de Hellen Schuman; 5- "El Dragón ya no Vive Aquí." de Alan Cohen; 6- "Tus Zonas Erróneas." de Wayne Dyer; 7- "Pide y se te Dará." de Jerry y Esther Hicks; 8- "El Caballero de la Armadura Oxidada." de Robert Fisher; 9- "El Alquimista." de Paulo Coelho; 10- "El Diálogo de la Caverna." de Platón. I´ve read hundreds of good books but there is not enought place here to write their titlles and I don´t remember all of them.
A Return to Love was the beginning. Recently I've enjoyed Paul Selig's Mastery Trilogy, Gina Lake & Pam Grout. Love seeing the recommendations. Thank you all! Would love to know which spiritual teachers you enjoy listening to? Matt Kahn is my favorite.
I really have enjoyed reading "In the shadow of the shaman by: Amber Wolfe. The most amazing thing is that I found this book several years ago in the basement of a bed and breakfast that I was working at but didn't start really reading it till I started to go through my awakening. I even tried to read this once when I first found it but my mind was so closed that I couldn't even understand it. Now that I have my eyes wide open this book has been a life saver to me, definitely has helped me grow spiritually.
I have Siddhartha, Celestine Prophecy, and Night sitting on my night stand at all times! They have brought a positive energy to my life just having them near. One additional story that speaks spiritually to me is Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. It's the true story of an expedition to summit Mt Everest that goes terribly wrong. Thank you for new suggestions 😁.
Thank you Christina for a great list of books, I have read some of them but I loved The Buddha in my Mirror, I loved the chant and used it everyday to increase my power again and loved The 9 stages of enlightenment up to absolute happiness (and not just relative happiness). Thank you beautiful soul x
The new Earth was my very first read on spirituality. The seat of the soul by Gary Zukav . it was and still is a great read , a transforming book on spirituality. It leads to discover your authentic empowerment. One of the quotes from this book ," When your personality comes to serve the energy of you soul that is authentic empowerment."
Yes CELESTINE PROPHECY I READ THAT BOOK THEN RAN UP ON THE MOVIE ON RUclips IT JUST GAVE ME CONFIRMATION ON ME WHEN I FELT ALL ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE WHAT I WENT THROUGH LAST YEAR😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯TYVM AGAIN FOR SHARING ❤️🙏😊❤️😘
Loved your list, Christina! Thank you for your recommendations, definitely adding them to my Summer reading list :-D My favorite spiritual books so far (I'm also a bookworm): 1. A Return To Love by Marianne Williamson 2. Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss 3. Your Soul's Plan by Robert Schwartz 4. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz 5. I Am The Word by Paul Selig Could you talk more about a Kundalini awakening in your next videos, if you haven't yet? Obrigada!
David Hawkins "letting go" is a good top book. It helps with the idea of letting go of thoughts. Another absolutely beautiful book I just read is good for when you are a little further along and want to let go a little more. Falling into Grace. Adyashanti (forget how to spell it)
Power vs Force by David Hawkins. The map of consciousness gave me a deeper understanding into the correlation between different emotions and their corresponding levels of energy and consciousness.
my schedule at work got changed not in my favor. This was not a challenge I needed in my life at this time. I love the Tao so I need the change your thoughts and Dyer rules I wonder if I can get these books used. I will manifest them. I read the Celestine Prophecy when I was a kid and I never knew why I read it Lol 😂 so cool
The nonfiction aspect was pretty amazing but as a fiction book it's just awful and i don't get why anyone who has ever read good fiction is impressed by this book
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah - by Richard Bach; The Way of the Wizard - by Deepak Chopra; Buddha's Brain - by Rick Hanson PH. D. Thank you for your wisdom and energy Christina!!! 💚🙏
A new earth is number one for sure... I read that book in a couple of days back in 2012... and that's unlike me reading a book that fast, I'm really a slow reader, but this book got to me right away... I'm now reading the course in miracles, and it is wisdom all the way, but like you say it's a bit complex... I do struggle a bit...
I Thank you sooo much my Soul Mate sister for these wonderful recommendations which confirmed to me : there are 3 books that I also read which are Book 11.Dr. Wayne W. Dyer change your thoughts change your life :which has truly helped me to also transform my life and also Book #13 Conversations with God which also allowed me to realize the diverse energy and trueness of God and also Book #15 Kundalini and the Chakras which also allowed me to have a Kundalini awakening which also helped to trigger my Spiritual awakening by learning about all 7 Chakras : So now I will truly read and recommend the others with Gratitude 🙏 and Love ❤️ from me to you my Soul Sister
For me, an essay on the Hippy movement and a brief study about Lao Tseu when I was a teenager (a looong time ago) ! But the most decisive was the reading, 15 years later, of Aldous Huxley's last novel, Island.
Thank you so much ! My way has gone more through the magic shamanist path so the books Will reflect that. So im going to give some not so common ones nowadays as well as plain un- orthodox which have gold in them if you look closer .so Lynn Andrews Medicine Woman and Crystal Woman, American Shaman tradition . Star Wars - Jupp my first read about meditation and a meditation I did for years came from a Star Wars comic, Terry Pratchett the witches series - gives some Very practical tips on how hedge magic really works ( call it english shamanism) Freya Aswynn ( German and Nordic Asatru) Hardcore shamanism not for the fainhearted !!! And for When everything fucks up and you need immediate help Bach Remedies which is is a book about those ( use only those,, they are normally available in healthfood stores or online-NO copies) by Metchild Scheffer. They are a finetuning fork for vibrations in drop form which helped me on a trip to Irland When I was severely overloading, had NO clue about Anything and sought help from a local trained sensitive as the area was supercharged.
Great list... thank you. The Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah is brief and powerful. "The Heavenly Books, the Bible, the Qur'án, and the other Holy Writings have been given by God as guides into the paths of Divine virtue, love, justice and peace." ~ Paris Talks, Baha'i Faith
Thanks so much for a great video and commentary, I admire your enthusiasm and your energy really comes thru. I am a very avid reader so here are just a few: "The Inner Path" by Lisa Romero, "Frequency" by Penney Pierce, "The Secret of the Golden Flower" by Richard Wilhelm. "I AM Word" by Paul Selig.
Hello Cristina: would you recommend the “Surrender Experiment” for someone that is not awake at all (my BFF) and struggles with control and has been just opening to wanting to know more. The very concept of surrender is “out there” for her when we discuss our day to say life. She thinks it’s part of my woo woo! ✨ if not this one, any recommendation? Her bday is tomorrow. Thank you! ❤️
Michael Singer is a great place to start for sure for someone's who's not spiritual because he's a pretty down to earth kind of guy and he describes his "awakening" as a very matter of fact thing. He was an engineer by training I think. So The Surrender Experiment is a great place to start to see what can happen when you just open up to life a little. :)
I love most spiritual books they expand the mind spirit and soul but probably my favourite ones are the series of books called Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East by Baird T Spalding I also like A Course in Miracles..and also The Secret History of Consciousness by Meg Blackburn Losey..but Ive read so many over the years..Thankyou Christina for sharing..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Christina, thanks for that very interesting list. I would also recommend Sacred Contracts by Caroline Myss, about our archetypes. And since you mentioned A Book of Miracles and it being very complex, there‘s A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson, in which she talks about ABOM and what it meant for her. A quick read that gives you an idea. Cheers and thanks for your wonderful videos.
Thank you Christina The One Thing by Gary Keller it's not spiritual but if like me a spiritual person working the circuits as a numerologist or if you have a healing biusness read this book and watch your life change
Savatri by Sri Aurobindo a 1200 page poem, the most beautiful use of the English language that I've ever read about Creation. pick a page, any page -- not to be believed
My first spiritual book is , " autobiography of a yogi" and second one is "the secret ", noe I am reading David God men's , " Be as you are " -- he talks about a great saint Bhagavan Sri Ramana maharishi. I am trying to understand self inquiry and self surrender techniques with this David book
I would recommend one more that gave me lot of answers - The Laws of the Spirit World - look it upon youtube - this woman who wrote is talking about it and she is no more now though. Her two sons dictated this book to her from the other world (after both sons passed away)
Hey Christina Thank you, bought four books( yesterday and today and after listening to you ), off that list. Read The surrender Experiment immediately. It was just what the Universe had ordered for me. I felt so light and charged after reading. Thank you dear ❤️❤️💕😊 Love, Keerti

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho started my spiritual awakening journey at age 14. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne at age 19. I am now 25 and getting back to it!
I would say The power of now really did it for me followed by A New Earth
Just bought 4 books on this list to add to my growing pile of spiritual must-reads in my bedroom... Goodbye, social life! Thanks Christina, you're such a warm, bright light. xx
*The Power of NOW* hit me hard

A Course in Miracles is the One for me.

Eckhart Tolle and Michael Singer’s books are at the top of my list I also love Paramahansa Yogananda. And new for me Loch Kelly. 💗🌈
Awareness by Anthony de Mello (wish he was alive) changed my life completely.
Some years ago I juggle Anthony, Tolle and Byron Katie.
But Anthony is the best! So to the point.
Now I’m moving on with Byron Katie’s teachings.
Great list Christina. I will check out some of these titles.
A book that was life changing for me was Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto. This is not a spiritual text but it helped accelarate my awakening to understand the world we live in and why people seem cut off. Gatto traces the history of schooling to deliberate intent to controlling the masses. Big part of my awakening was awakening out of being schooled and controlled. The other book is the New Earth. In the first chapter Eckhart describes the spiritual beauty of our natural environment so nicely which convinced me there are bigger forces at play.
I've read a few of these and can also chime in that reading The Power of Now was a profound turning point for me. As for your list, I was instantly drawn to start at the end. I just cracked open Sacred Success and realized why I was called to that one. I'm going to end up re-opening my Course in Miracles, aren't I?
Thanks Christina.
🙏✨ I read all the books from Eckhart Tolle, also the books of Russ Harris and Hans Peter Roel changed my life in beautiful way ✨
I loved this video soooooo much ..💐
And I liked more "many lives many masters" ..I absolutely wish having it any way..thanks so much Christina..you are always fruitful and great ..my blessings 🤲💖🌷
Thanks! So glad you liked it!
I also love to read about people who overcame trials! Lots of cool books I plan on reading. Heal your Life changed my life! Thanks for your book recommendations!
Thank you Christina!
I would add "Illusions" and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" both by Richard Bach. Both fiction and full of wisdom. Beautiful
The Celestine prophecy and Many life many masters were my intro.. Like 30 years ago.. Now I'm going over your list..doing audio books :) I loved The Surrender Experiment, Conversations with God, also into the Magic Shop. I also listened to "A New Earth, "Change your thoughts change your life" and The Way to Love. Next I think will be "The last laugh" ... Lots of homework!! :)).
Thank you ❤
Eckhart Tolle and Michael Singer too!!!! Their books hit me hard.
I have been improved by these:
Every Word has Power - Yvonne Oswald
The Shack - William Paul Young
The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz
The Hidden Messages in Water - Masaru Emoto
I'm new to this channel and I Love it!!!
Wow thanks dude. ❤️ The list I didn’t know I needed. If I can remember “my timeline” I think A New Earth was the first book that changed my life. It put the chaos into perspective and I didn’t feel as alone anymore.
💪
Danielle Rodgers 💗 I was just listening to a sample from A New Earth today, felt drawn to it, yes. Do you think it can help with one struggling with embodying peace and joy in times of stress outside in the world, and within, too? 🌸💗🌸
The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard (and subsequently A Course in Miracles) was life changing for me.
Great list. I've read a few others are going to my library right now. My first spiritual book was the game of life. I follow Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolls, Don Miguel Ruiz, Deepak Chopra and others. Thank you so much for sharing. Many blessings to all. 🙏🦋💙
You're welcome!
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔 read New Earth before my spiritual awakening and absolutely did not understand it and after my spiritual awakening I understood it. It has helped me navigate my spiritual awakening, and planning to read it again. Just fascinated on how this was also your experience
i got the book change your thought and change your life, i got it in audio too, and atm i found in YT the book conversation with God i like it. so the universe guide me to which to listen and to read. still thankful i found you.
Hi, Christina!
Some of the books that I have read are Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Speaks, Victor Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning and Pema Chödrön's When Things Fall Apart. Currently, I am reading Jiddu Krishnamurti's Reflections On The Self. There were other short spiritual articles that helped me tremendously as well. I also love Rumi's works which mostly centers on Love.
I would love to find a copy of your recommended books, hardcopy if possible. Thank you for sharing those wonderful books with us. Peace and blessings!
Great choices! I love Pema. As for hard copies, if you click on the links in the description box, you'll notice Amazon gives you the option of choosing Kindle or paperback/hardback.
Most of the books which I´ve read are in spanish because that´s my native language but I´m sure that they have been translated into english: 1- El Milagro Más Grande del Mundo." de Og Mandino; 2- "El Poder está dentro de Ti." de Louise Hay; 3- "El Poder del Ahora." de Eckhart Tolle; 4- "Un Curso de Milagros." de Hellen Schuman; 5- "El Dragón ya no Vive Aquí." de Alan Cohen; 6- "Tus Zonas Erróneas." de Wayne Dyer; 7- "Pide y se te Dará." de Jerry y Esther Hicks; 8- "El Caballero de la Armadura Oxidada." de Robert Fisher; 9- "El Alquimista." de Paulo Coelho; 10- "El Diálogo de la Caverna." de Platón.
I´ve read hundreds of good books but there is not enought place here to write their titlles and I don´t remember all of them.
A Return to Love was the beginning. Recently I've enjoyed Paul Selig's Mastery Trilogy, Gina Lake & Pam Grout. Love seeing the recommendations. Thank you all! Would love to know which spiritual teachers you enjoy listening to? Matt Kahn is my favorite.
The Power of Now woke me up! Now enjoying A New Earth ❤
Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman.
I agree with you about celestine prophecy this book led to my spiritual and creative awakening in high school
I really have enjoyed reading "In the shadow of the shaman by: Amber Wolfe.
The most amazing thing is that I found this book several years ago in the basement of a bed and breakfast that I was working at but didn't start really reading it till I started to go through my awakening. I even tried to read this once when I first found it but my mind was so closed that I couldn't even understand it. Now that I have my eyes wide open this book has been a life saver to me, definitely has helped me grow spiritually.
I have Siddhartha, Celestine Prophecy, and Night sitting on my night stand at all times! They have brought a positive energy to my life just having them near. One additional story that speaks spiritually to me is Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. It's the true story of an expedition to summit Mt Everest that goes terribly wrong. Thank you for new suggestions 😁.
Thank you Christina for a great list of books, I have read some of them but I loved
The Buddha in my Mirror, I loved the chant and used it everyday to increase my power again and loved
The 9 stages of enlightenment up to absolute happiness (and not just relative happiness). Thank you beautiful soul x
The new Earth was my very first read on spirituality.
The seat of the soul by Gary Zukav . it was and still is a great read , a transforming book on spirituality.
It leads to discover your authentic empowerment. One of the quotes from this book ," When your personality comes to serve the energy of you soul that is authentic empowerment."
The Power of Now was my 1st that shook me into committing to A Course in Miracles. That course changed my life and lead me into so many more:)
For me life changing was Wayne Dyer’s ‘Not tomorrow but now ‘ and books about how money works.
Yes CELESTINE PROPHECY I READ THAT BOOK THEN RAN UP ON THE MOVIE ON RUclips
IT JUST GAVE ME CONFIRMATION ON ME WHEN I FELT ALL ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE WHAT I WENT THROUGH LAST YEAR😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯TYVM AGAIN FOR SHARING ❤️🙏😊❤️😘
It amazes me how much I trust you Christina, thank you so much for helping me/ us and for your wisdom.. I really hope to meet you one day! 🤍
Loved your list, Christina! Thank you for your recommendations, definitely adding them to my Summer reading list :-D
My favorite spiritual books so far (I'm also a bookworm):
1. A Return To Love by Marianne Williamson
2. Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss
3. Your Soul's Plan by Robert Schwartz
4. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
5. I Am The Word by Paul Selig
Could you talk more about a Kundalini awakening in your next videos, if you haven't yet? Obrigada!
Nice list! Yep, kundalini topic is upcoming. :)
David Hawkins "letting go" is a good top book. It helps with the idea of letting go of thoughts. Another absolutely beautiful book I just read is good for when you are a little further along and want to let go a little more. Falling into Grace. Adyashanti (forget how to spell it)
Power vs Force by David Hawkins. The map of consciousness gave me a deeper understanding into the correlation between different emotions and their corresponding levels of energy and consciousness.
my schedule at work got changed not in my favor. This was not a challenge I needed in my life at this time.
I love the Tao so I need the change your thoughts and Dyer rules I wonder if I can get these books used. I will manifest them.
I read the Celestine Prophecy when I was a kid and I never knew why I read it Lol 😂 so cool
Thank you for this
Thank you so much, Christina! What a gift! I have read some of these but there are many I've not heard of. Thanks again, dear teacher!
Journey to the Heart by Melody Beattie❤️
And thank you for the list. I have several ready to download.
Thank you so much for this video. I will be reading these books
From your list I’ve read 8 or at the author. Eager to continue the journey. Thank you so much.
Celestine Prophecy was amazing. I still recommend it to people. I agree that its the place to start.
The nonfiction aspect was pretty amazing but as a fiction book it's just awful and i don't get why anyone who has ever read good fiction is impressed by this book
Fabulous, thank you so much for this list ,you are beautiful🙏
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah - by Richard Bach; The Way of the Wizard - by Deepak Chopra; Buddha's Brain - by Rick Hanson PH. D. Thank you for your wisdom and energy Christina!!! 💚🙏
Thank you! ❤❤❤💃This is going to be my book list for 2020
A new earth is number one for sure... I read that book in a couple of days back in 2012... and that's unlike me reading a book that fast, I'm really a slow reader, but this book got to me right away... I'm now reading the course in miracles, and it is wisdom all the way, but like you say it's a bit complex... I do struggle a bit...
My 1st book that was a spiritual introduction in my life was "In tune with the Infinite!" And the 2d was
"The Infinite Way" letters by Joel Goldsmith.
Anatomy of the Spirit was great. So much awesome information
I Thank you sooo much my Soul Mate sister for these wonderful recommendations which confirmed to me : there are 3 books that I also read which are Book 11.Dr. Wayne W. Dyer change your thoughts change your life :which has truly helped me to also transform my life and also Book #13 Conversations with God which also allowed me to realize the diverse energy and trueness of God and also Book #15 Kundalini and the Chakras which also allowed me to have a Kundalini awakening which also helped to trigger my Spiritual awakening by learning about all 7 Chakras : So now I will truly read and recommend the others with Gratitude 🙏 and Love ❤️ from me to you my Soul Sister
Awesome!
For me, an essay on the Hippy movement and a brief study about Lao Tseu when I was a teenager (a looong time ago) ! But the most decisive was the reading, 15 years later, of Aldous Huxley's last novel, Island.
new folower, sending love! thank you for sharing your knowledge
I read Night when I was younger it was incredible how the human spirit can endure...
Thank you so much ! My way has gone more through the magic shamanist path so the books Will reflect that. So im going to give some not so common ones nowadays as well as plain un- orthodox which have gold in them if you look closer .so Lynn Andrews Medicine Woman and Crystal Woman, American Shaman tradition . Star Wars - Jupp my first read about meditation and a meditation I did for years came from a Star Wars comic, Terry Pratchett the witches series - gives some Very practical tips on how hedge magic really works ( call it english shamanism) Freya Aswynn ( German and Nordic Asatru) Hardcore shamanism not for the fainhearted !!! And for When everything fucks up and you need immediate help Bach Remedies which is is a book about those ( use only those,, they are normally available in healthfood stores or online-NO copies) by Metchild Scheffer. They are a finetuning fork for vibrations in drop form which helped me on a trip to Irland When I was severely overloading, had NO clue about Anything and sought help from a local trained sensitive as the area was supercharged.
So cool!
Christina Lopes ;)
Great list... thank you. The Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah is brief and powerful. "The Heavenly Books, the Bible, the Qur'án, and the other Holy Writings have been given by God as guides into the paths of Divine virtue, love, justice and peace." ~ Paris Talks, Baha'i Faith
Thanks so much for a great video and commentary, I admire your enthusiasm and your energy really comes thru. I am a very avid reader so here are just a few: "The Inner Path" by Lisa Romero, "Frequency" by Penney Pierce, "The Secret of the Golden Flower" by Richard Wilhelm. "I AM Word"
by Paul Selig.
Big Fan. I’m glad I found you : )
Hello Cristina: would you recommend the “Surrender Experiment” for someone that is not awake at all (my BFF) and struggles with control and has been just opening to wanting to know more. The very concept of surrender is “out there” for her when we discuss our day to say life. She thinks it’s part of my woo woo! ✨ if not this one, any recommendation? Her bday is tomorrow. Thank you! ❤️
Michael Singer is a great place to start for sure for someone's who's not spiritual because he's a pretty down to earth kind of guy and he describes his "awakening" as a very matter of fact thing. He was an engineer by training I think. So The Surrender Experiment is a great place to start to see what can happen when you just open up to life a little. :)
Thank you 😊🙏🏼❤️🌞🌜🏵️🕊️
I love most spiritual books they expand the mind spirit and soul but probably my favourite ones are the series of books called
Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East by Baird T Spalding I also like A Course in Miracles..and also The Secret History of Consciousness by Meg Blackburn Losey..but Ive read so many over the years..Thankyou Christina for sharing..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. I'm actually from Peru :). what book do you recommend first? I consider myself beginner. thank you
Thank you!
Thank you
I have more to add to my to read list now oh boy!
Hi Christina, thanks for that very interesting list. I would also recommend Sacred Contracts by Caroline Myss, about our archetypes. And since you mentioned A Book of Miracles and it being very complex, there‘s A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson, in which she talks about ABOM and what it meant for her. A quick read that gives you an idea. Cheers and thanks for your wonderful videos.
Thank you Christina The One Thing by Gary Keller it's not spiritual but if like me a spiritual person working the circuits as a numerologist or if you have a healing biusness read this book and watch your life change
Thankx so much Christina 😍🙏
Thank u for number 5 🙂 now it is also one of my favorite books 📚
Savatri by Sri Aurobindo a 1200 page poem, the most beautiful use of the English language that I've ever read about Creation. pick a page, any page -- not to be believed
2 books that started it for me 1st book .. edgar Cayce sex and the spiritual path .... 2nd miguel ruiz 5th agreements and 4th agreements ...
My first spiritual book is , " autobiography of a yogi" and second one is "the secret ", noe I am reading David God men's , " Be as you are " -- he talks about a great saint Bhagavan Sri Ramana maharishi. I am trying to understand self inquiry and self surrender techniques with this David book
The power of Now by eckhart tolle. 100% life changer
NOW!!
Thank you for uploading!
I reckon all to read: Awareness by Anthony de Mello.
I would recommend one more that gave me lot of answers - The Laws of the Spirit World - look it upon youtube - this woman who wrote is talking about it and she is no more now though. Her two sons dictated this book to her from the other world (after both sons passed away)
Thank you sooo much!!
It is so touching how you open your Heart to help people🙏
Hey Christina
Thank you, bought four books( yesterday and today and after listening to you ), off that list. Read The surrender Experiment immediately. It was just what the Universe had ordered for me. I felt so light and charged after reading. Thank you dear ❤️❤️💕😊
Love, Keerti
