People often ask me how I came to have such a profound and life-changing mystical experience. It’s a difficult question to answer. I’m not sure that I can identify exactly what on my spiritual journey led me to be in such an enlightened state for over a year.

What I do know is that books played a really big part in my spiritual journey. Books can be transformational. As a transpersonal psychologist and awakening seeker, I read a wide selection of books from academic to easy reads. Here you’ll find the most informative, powerful, and transformational books I’ve come across. Some of which were instrumental in my journey.

In the past, I have tried to use independent sellers for purchases through this website; however, I ran into two persistent problems. Some of the books I recommend are niche and difficult to source, which made linking complicated, plus the Awakening Seekers visiting my site are located worldwide.
