I have found that it is often difficult to get good books to help us on our spiritual path as healers, so I decided to try to make it as easy as possible for people to get them. Listed below are some of my favorites that have helped to raise my consciousness.
If you have any suggestions about books that you know are good, please send me an e-mail and I
will try to get them listed here.
