Mind-Blowing, Real-World Stories

  • Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss - great intro to an Ivy league trained psychiatrist's surprising foray into exploring past lives with a patient. This was one of the first 'spiritual' books I read years ago, and definitely helped transform me from skeptical to much more trusting. There's such great wisdom in it too!
  • Dying to be Me by Anita Moorjani - she chronicles her near-death experience, the insights she had from 'the other side', and her miraculous recovery from cancer.
  • Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda - Yogananda is a guru who helped bring yoga to the west in the 50s. This made me believe in miracles beyond our mind's understanding - it's incredible what the yogis are capable of! A must for anyone interested in finding and following their highest calling :) 
  • Living with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama - similar to above in detailing some mind-blowing stories and wisdom of the yogis. These two books also were key in leading me to India :)
