Hey ya'll so I have a new found love in my spiritual and personal development journey- audiobooks! I have always enjoyed reading but it has been difficult finding the amount of time I would like to just sit and marinate with a good book. But alas...sweet audiobooks have entered. I find that I love to hear the author's or actors voices incorporated into sharing and explaining their stories and content. Audiobooks have also made me feel even more connected to the content than I think I would by reading. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good paperback read, but audiobooks have made me feel empowered. I have 5 audio books that have been game changers in helping me shift my mindset and way of thinking as I continue of my healing journey. Each book gives powerful and practical insight, tools, and practices to implement in our daily lives for meditation, mindset, and manifestation.
"You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay Louise Hay affirmed everything that I have been taught and currently teach when it comes to our purpose here on Earth and the intention and point of our healing journey. This book was the first that I felt activate a feeling down on the inside of me that made me want to shift my mindset. That inspired me to truly and deeply want to shift my mindset towards speaking and thinking better within. The true gem and takeaway in this amazing book was Hay's powerful exploration of the mind-body connection and the profound impact of our thoughts on our health and well-being. Through affirmations and exercises, Hay teaches readers how to release negative patterns and beliefs, replacing them with love and self-acceptance. My favorite exercise that you can implement into your daily life: "I approve of myself." Using this affirmation to counter act daily interactions that trigger your self worth, validation, and lack of self acceptance. Saying "I approve of myself" internally, in the mirror, and even writing in in my journal daily has shown up powerfully in helping me shift my energy in the middle of the day and not be so personally invested in other people's perception of me. It is definitely one of the books that I will go back and listen to time and time again through out my life.
2. "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho Paulo Coelho's enchanting story follows the journey of Santiago, a young shepherd boy, as he embarks on a quest for his personal legend (purpose in the world). Filled with wisdom and inspiration, "The Alchemist" encourages readers to pursue their dreams with courage and determination, trusting in the universe to guide them. Takeaway: Embrace the journey of self-discovery and follow your heart's deepest desires, trusting in the process of life. The Alchemist was such a joy to listen to with every adventure of Santiago being wrapped into life lessons that leave you feeling inspired and ready to get out of your own way.
3. "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne "The Secret" goes into depth and breaks down the power of the law of attraction, teaching readers how to manifest their desires through the power of positive thinking. The audiobook was so insightful as it included raw clips from interviews of the different interviews Rhonda Byrne held with other thought leaders in the mindset shifting and spiritual development world. Two names that I was familiar with was Lisa Nichols and Michael B. Beckwith. I have listened to their lectures and podcast plenty of times and it was so awesome to see their teachings integrated with the principles Rhonda Byrne shares. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern science, Byrne shares practical techniques for harnessing the law of attraction to create the life of your dreams. Takeaway: Practice gratitude and visualization to align your thoughts and intentions with your desired outcomes.
4."The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks Gay Hendricks explores the concept of the "upper limit problem" and how self-sabotage often prevents us from reaching our full potential. Through insightful anecdotes and practical exercises, Hendricks offers a roadmap for breaking through limiting beliefs and stepping into our zone of genius. Takeaway: Identify and challenge your limiting beliefs, and dare to step outside of your comfort zone to pursue your biggest dreams. What I truly enjoyed about the teachings in The Big Leap is the authors encouragement and perspective when it comes to embracing and expanding what is possible for ourselves and our capacity to stay in a space that is capable to receive and sit in our desires, dreams, and manifestations.
5. "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe" by Laura Lynne Jackson In "Signs," Laura Lynne Jackson shares heartwarming stories of how the universe communicates with us through signs and synchronicities. From unexpected encounters to meaningful coincidences, Jackson illuminates the mysterious ways in which the universe and our loved ones in the spirit world guide and support us on our journey. Takeaway: Stay open and receptive to the signs and messages the universe sends your way, trusting that they are guiding you toward your highest good. This book is especially beautiful and healing to read for those who have lost children and parents as it describes lovely signs and confirmations our loved one will send us to let us know they are with us.
