Arriving at Your Own Door: 108 Lessons in Mindfulness
Jon Kabat-zinn
Hyperion, 2007
A Polished Gem
A thought provoking, meaning filled book. The type of book you can carry with you and read a passage when you can or placed somewhere in your home so it reminds you to pick it up and read a passage every day. Makes a wonderful gift.

Light on Yoga: The Bible of Modern Yoga...
B. K. S. Iyengar
Schocken, 1995
If you have one comprehensive book on yoga this should be it.
This book generally shows the progression of the poses from beginner to advanced. You will not be talked down to in this book. I like having more information then I need so that I can reference back and progress when I'm ready.

Wherever You Go, There You Are
Jon Kabat-zinn
Hyperion, 2005
Wherever You Go, There You Are
This is a classic. Any day that I spend time with this book - usually just one entry at a time - greater peacefulness and focus are assured. And often the author's insights turn my views upside down - there's much to discover here.

The Language of Letting Go (Hazelden Meditation Series)
Melody Beattie
Hazelden, 1990
Taking Care of Ourselves
A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations. I happened to be in Barnes and Noble with her when she bought Melody Beattie's book, and after perusing a few of the passages, I ...

Watch For The Light: Readings For Advent And Christmas
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Donne, ...
Orbis Books, 2004
Loved it!!
I love that this series, including "Bread and Wine:Readings for Lent and Easter," because it challeneges our complacent culture-dictated experience of Advent and Easter. This is not a feel-good book, it is a faith-building book. Be prepared to be shaken up and for God ...

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2004
Nothing new....and Nothing more powerful...
Being in the moment - but so beautifully explained you'll get there are least once. All of his books are worth reading, and with all of the doing and striving we are involved in, it's nice to just "be" in a health way. Give it a try!

Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2001
Much Easier to Understand than "The Power of Now"
This is the best way to understand The Power of Now. I recommend it very highly.
Why, you ask?
I read Eckhart's original book, The Power of Now, but I found it was not succinct enough for me. There are many anecdotes and asides which I found distracting.

Thank you Bodhipaksa
Thank you Bodhipaksa. I listen to you in the morning and again at night. Sometimes I listen to this CD and sometimes Guided Meditations for Stress Relief. I like them both, they are my life preservers. In the morning I meditate and at night you put me right to sleep ...

Mindfulness in Plain English, Updated and Expanded Edition
Bhante H. Gunaratana
Wisdom Publications, 2002
Gunaratana Mindfulness
I have read this book three times and will probably continue to re-read it for the rest of my life. If you are interested in meditation, this is THE book. It is deceptively simple and brilliantly clear. There are lots of well-meaning but not so well written books out ...

Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Guided Mindfulness)
Jon Kabat-Zinn
Sounds True, Incorporated, 2005
Great benefits and EASY to follow instructions.
The CD set exceeded my expectations for ease of use. They are much easier to follow than I anticipated. The mediations are simple and completely agnostic, and therefore should be non-offensive to any religious orientation. I recommend this product to anyone looking ...

Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy
Sarah Ban Breathnach
Grand Central Publishing, 1995
Perspective
This was given to me years ago, and it sits on my nightstand for an inspirational note to myself in the evening. I just gave a copy to my niece and she loves it, too. If you're stressing over less money right now, this little book will help you to gain perspective.

I am using this book with a group of 8 women. They pray with the material and then we meet once a week to discuss it and use the group sharing ideas in the back of the book. Would highly recommend it.
