The books below are all recommended by my late friend Elizabeth They are what she called 'Helpful books'

She said the following about Anthony de Mello
'Fr. Anthony DeMello:
"The Prayer of the Frog", "One Minute Wisdom". Ones I use all the time are "The Song of the Bird" and "Taking Flight". A student of Anthony DeMello -- Carlos G. Valles, S.J. -- wrote a book called "Mastering Sadhana, Anthony DeMello". This book literally fell off the shelf in the bookstore to get my attention. The other books are books of parables that help you to ponder what is really important.'

Reiki Books

John Bradshaw books
'Any of his books, audio and video tapes. He deals with family structure, inner child work, family secrets, creating love, bringing your child home. In the audio and video tapes, hearing the emotions in his voice helps you to understand. Even better is an actual in person lecture and/or workshop. What he shares comes from his own life and in doing so, he connects with your feelings and allows them to emerge.'

Anam Cara : A Book of Celtic Wisdom
offers an exploration of the secret universe we all carry inside us, the connections we forge with the worlds of our friends and loved ones, and the products of our worlds reflected in the things we create outside of ourselves. Anam Cara, Gaelic for "soul friend," is an ancient journey down a nearly forgotten path of wisdom into what it means to be human. Drawing on this age-old perspective, John O'Donohue helps us to see ourselves as the Celts did: we're more than just flesh, blood, and bone; we comprise individual worlds. The comprehension of the sublime architecture of the worlds we are born with will engender a new appreciation for the outside world and the way we contribute to its evolution.

Anam Cara : Wisdom from the Celtic World
Priest, poet and philosopher John O'Donohue weaves Celtic and Christian thought and mythology into a comforting series of talks to help the listener slow down, look around and become more in tune with the inner self. O'Donohue's relaxed, gentle voice; his love of nature; and his understanding stance all welcome the engaged listener and invite repeated listening. Several of the talks begin or end with a blessing of O'Donohue's own composition. He uses Celtic legends to illuminate his points and Irish harp music to make transitions. Handsomely packaged and beautifully produced, ANAM CARA is a wonderful gift or addition to one's personal library. L.R.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
