Books That Transform

The journey to self-discovery often begins with a single, unexpected moment of insight—a divine whisper that beckons us onto a new path. For me, that moment was intertwined with the serendipitous discovery of a book in the quiet corners of my home. It was a volume that my then-boyfriend, now husband, owned without recollection—a mysterious relic from the past, left untouched, gathering whispers of forgotten stories. Its uncracked spine held a treasure that seemed to wait patiently for the right hands to open its pages.

The book that called to me, igniting the dormant embers of my spirit, was “Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love” by Mercedes Kirkel. This profound collection of channeled messages from Mary Magdalene herself became the key that unlocked my spiritual closet, urging me to embrace my voice and my truth.

1. This book is “Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love” by Mercedes Kirkel

Mercedes Kirkel, an award-winning author, channels the essence of Mary Magdalene’s wisdom, providing a luminous guide for those yearning to connect deeply with their hearts. With topics that journey through the uncharted waters of spiritual teachings—the union of Divine Feminine and Masculine, mastering the tides of our emotions, reclaiming the innocence of the body, and honoring the sanctity of our sexuality—this book stands as a beacon of transformative power.

Accompanied by the author’s insightful commentary, each message dives deep into the sacred truths Mary imparts, offering solace and enlightenment. It was these messages that resonated with the very core of my being, as if stirring memories of a truth I had always known but had long forgotten.

My path would later bring me full circle, studying under the tutelage of Mercedes Kirkel herself. In her mentorship, I found not just guidance, but a compassionate journey back to myself—a homecoming to the soul’s eternal embrace.

For those of you who love daily prayers and daily inspiration:

2. “Light is the New Black” by Rebecca Campbell

“Light is the New Black” is not just a book; it’s a clarion call to the soul, authored by the luminescent Rebecca Campbell. This transformative work became my wellspring of courage, each page infused with the power to embolden my spirit, urging me to follow my inner light and to rise—not only for myself but to blaze a trail for other women to ascend alongside me.

The book is a treasure trove of wisdom, its pages turned down so frequently they’ve taken on the memory of my fingertips. I return to its words over and over, each visit rekindling the flames of inspiration to persevere and to elevate. Every passage resonates with the sacred, each line a prayer or a poem dedicated to the art of living authentically.

Rebecca Campbell’s eloquent prose is a tapestry of encouragement, a collection of soulful prompts that have beckoned me to stand tall in my truth. It serves as a daily devotional for those drawn to the kindling of their inner light, offering a luminous path for the seeker of truth and the bearer of light within us all.

3. “Source of Love and Peace” by Sabine Lichtenfels

“Source of Love and Peace” is a mosaic of morning prayers, each a gem crafted to inspire transformation within the soul and society. Like a spiritual guide, it arrived into my life through the mysterious avenues of my husband’s forgotten collection—a serendipitous treasure that seemed destined to support my awakening.

The 52 prayers it offers are tender invocations, inviting a moment of pause, a breath of intention with each dawn. It has been a faithful companion to my morning rituals of meditation and journaling, a soft-spoken muse stirring reflections on who I was, who I am, and the silhouette of who I aspire to be.

This isn’t merely a book; it’s a weekly journey of contemplation, a yearly cycle of growth. Each prayer is a stepping stone, a chance to bathe in the healing waters of love and peace—an oasis for a world often parched for solace. It’s for those mornings when you seek a whisper of guidance, a caress of reassurance that you are, indeed, on the path meant for you.

Books on Vibrations, Energy and Healing

4. “Vibrational Medicine” by Richard Gerber, MD (Third Edition)

“Vibrational Medicine” is the kind of tome that demands a highlighter and a contemplative pace. It’s not for the faint of heart or those fresh on the path of energy understanding—save this one for when you’ve built a sturdy foundation. A cornerstone of my energy practitioner training, this book dives deep into the scientific underpinnings of energetic healing, dissecting the “how” and “why” behind what many dismiss as mere “woo-woo.”

This compelling read bridges the gap between the empirical rigor of Western medicine and the holistic insights of Eastern practices, offering a comprehensive view of our bodies as multifaceted beacons of energy. It doesn’t just skim the surface of energy work—it delves into the quantum level, providing both studies and facts that cement its theories.

For me, this book was a revelation; it provided a vocabulary for concepts I innately understood but couldn’t articulate. It has been a guide and a teacher, one that has laid down the bedrock of my comprehension of how we function beyond our flesh and bones, in the vast expanse of energy and spirit.

5. “The Energy Codes” by Sue Morter

Currently on my second read, “The Energy Codes” by Dr. Sue Morter has offered even richer insights this time around, blossoming with each practice I integrate into my life. This book is an essential guide for anyone at the outset of their self-healing journey or those seeking to comprehend the nuances of personal awakening.

Dr. Morter illuminates the path toward self-discovery and healing with a clarity that resonates deep within the reader’s psyche. Her teachings serve as a beacon, guiding through the oftentimes foggy realms of energy work and inner transformation. Whether you are taking your first steps towards understanding your energy or you’re well along the path, this book provides tools that are both profound and applicable, ensuring that each read is as transformative as it is enlightening.

6. “Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing The Uncommon” by Joe Dispenza

Approach this recommendation with an open mind: Dr. Joe Dispenza’s book is a cerebral deep dive into the formidable science connecting the mind and heart. “Becoming Supernatural” is a rich tapestry of enlightening insights, interwoven with real-world examples of ordinary people achieving extraordinary feats by harnessing the power of their consciousness. While the content does navigate through complex scientific concepts, I found the audio version of the book to be an engaging and digestible format.

Dispenza’s dedication to educating others on self-healing through mental empowerment is truly remarkable. Although “Becoming Supernatural” was my introduction to his work, it built upon the foundation laid by his earlier publications. If you’re new to Dispenza’s philosophy, you might consider starting with “You Are the Placebo” to ease into his transformative ideas. Yet, whether it’s your first foray or a continuation of your exploration into self-healing, this book stands as a testament to the limitless potential of the human mind.

7. “Sound Medicine: How to Ancient Science of Sound to Heal the Body and Mind” by Kulreet Chaudhary

Imagine stumbling upon a book that feels as though it was waiting just for you. That’s precisely the sensation I experienced when “Sound Medicine” caught my eye in a bookstore. I had entered looking for a different title that day, but destiny had other plans.

Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary’s work delves into the resonant world of sound healing, exploring the scientific underpinnings that explain why and how sound, vibration, and energy profoundly influence our multidimensional wellbeing. With a narrative that intersects the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with cutting-edge research, this book is not just informative—it’s transformative. It offers insights on the power of chanting, singing, and the simple act of listening to music as tools for healing. For anyone with an affinity for Ayurveda or a curiosity about the therapeutic potentials of sound, “Sound Medicine” promises a harmonious blend of science and spirituality that can tune the body and soul to the frequency of healing.

8. “The Hidden Messages of Water” by Masaru Emoto

Masaru Emoto’s “The Hidden Messages in Water” transcends conventional thought on the intersection of consciousness and the material world. It’s not just about healing in the traditional sense; it’s a revelation of how profoundly our energies can impact the very essence of water—a vital life source. Emoto’s research unveils how water is far more than a mere substance; it’s a reflector of our innermost emotions and thoughts. Through the lens of high-speed photography, he demonstrates that water’s response to our directed thoughts is not only visible in the intricate crystal formations of frozen water but also suggests a deeper connection between intention and the physical realm. This concise yet captivating book will forever alter your perception of water, attuning you to the subtle resonance between our emotional landscape and the fluidity around us.

Books on Reconnecting to Your Soul

The task of ranking these cherished books is akin to capturing the essence of a starry night—each one, a luminary that has guided my path. Among these, Michael A. Singer’s “The Surrender Experiment” holds a special place.

9. “The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life’s Perfection” by Michel Singer

While many laud “The Untethered Soul” as his magnum opus, I beg to differ. For me, “The Surrender Experiment” surpasses it. This book is more than just a narrative; it’s a heartfelt memoir tracing Michael Singer’s own spiritual awakening and evolution into the renowned spiritual mentor he is today. In these pages, he shares the transformative power of simply releasing control and allowing the soul’s inherent wisdom to navigate the course of life. It’s a profound testament to the beauty of yielding to the flow of existence and the miraculous unfoldment that follows when one surrenders to life’s innate perfection.

10. “Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives” by Michael Newton Ph. D.

Now, here’s a book that resonates with me on a profound level, easily one of my top two all-time favorites. There’s something about “Journey of Souls” that just clicks—a resounding ‘yes’ echoed through every fiber of my being as I delved into its pages. I highly recommend the audiobook for an immersive experience, and don’t miss out on the sequel which is just as captivating.

In this enthralling book, Dr. Michael Newton employs a pioneering technique to unlock the superconscious memories of 29 individuals, revealing their experiences in the spirit world after physical death. Through his methodical approach, Dr. Newton guides his subjects into deep hypnosis, during which they recall with remarkable clarity their interludes between lives. The narratives are as astonishing as they are moving, painting a vivid picture of the spirit realm. The accounts delve into the nitty-gritty of our existence as souls—the places we inhabit beyond the earthly plane, our activities and learnings in the afterlife, and the intricate reasons behind our reincarnation into specific lives. It’s a book that not only informs but transforms, offering a glimpse into the eternal journey of the soul.

11. “Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self” by Sandra Ingerman

At a time when shadows loomed large in my life, a period marked by self-harm and internal turmoil, it was “Soul Retrieval” that shone a light of hope. The book found its way to me serendipitously. While at a friend’s house, she suggested another of Sandra Ingerman’s writings, triggering a flicker of recognition in me — I knew I had encountered her name somewhere before.

Later that evening, I returned home and there it was — “Soul Retrieval” sitting unassumingly on my bookshelf, as if it had been patiently awaiting my readiness. I remember the profound sense of timing, as though the book was a healer itself, extending an invitation to commence my journey toward healing.

Ingerman expertly interweaves the ancient shamanic practice of soul retrieval with modern psychological insights in this groundbreaking book. She explores how this synthesis can produce profound healing, addressing not just emotional wounds, but physical ailments too. It’s a testament to the enduring power of spiritual wisdom in facilitating deep, lasting transformation.

A Book That Brought Clarity to My Soul

This final recommendation holds particular resonance, not merely because it’s the twelfth to grace this list, but because the number twelve carries a weight of spiritual significance, echoing the twelve apostles of Jesus.

12. “Anna, The Grandmother Of Jesus” by Chaire Heartsong

“Anna, The Grandmother of Jesus” by Claire Heartsong was a book that sent shivers down my spine — in the best way possible. Throughout my life, I’ve found the traditional narratives surrounding Jesus to be somewhat lacking, a sentiment that traces back to my childhood. I always sensed there were pieces missing from the puzzle, elements that were essential to understanding how Jesus transformed into the Christ.

Like many stories from my early years, the accepted tale felt incomplete, leaving me with a thirst for answers that seemed just out of reach. Upon turning the pages of Heartsong’s work, it was as though those missing pieces fell into place. Reading her words, I didn’t just absorb them; I felt them. It was a visceral experience, almost as if my very cells recognized and remembered the truth woven through her storytelling.

For many, a channeled work such as this may not resonate, and that’s perfectly fine. But for those who feel a mysterious pull towards it, “Anna, The Grandmother of Jesus” offers more than just information; it offers a sense of coming home, a remembrance drenched in hope.

In the tapestry of knowledge that we weave throughout our lives, each thread represents a unique piece of wisdom gained from our experiences and the teachers who guide us along the way. Books, much like silent mentors, hold the power to transform, uplift, and expand our horizons, offering us the keys to unlock our fullest potential.

These top 12 books have been my quiet companions through a transformative journey—a journey not just of self-healing but of profound metamorphosis. They are the lesser-known gems, each sparkling with its unique light, guiding seekers like myself through the winding paths of enlightenment and self-discovery.

As I close this chapter of sharing, my hope is that these books find their way into the hands and hearts of those who are ready to embark on their own journey of awakening. May the wisdom contained within these pages serve as your compass, helping you navigate the rich landscapes of the soul.

Thank you for joining me on this literary pilgrimage. I invite you to explore these works with an open heart and an inquisitive mind, allowing their teachings to resonate with your spirit. Remember, every book opens a door, and behind each door lies the infinite possibility for growth, understanding, and transformation. So turn the page, dear readers, and let your story unfold.

With warmth and gratitude,

xo, Brittany
