Welcome back to Lavendaire.
So I have not done a book video in a while.
So I thought today I would share
Nine of my favorite spiritual books for your spiritual awakening.
So I go through phases where I prefer like a certain type of book.
So lately I've been really into reading astrology and spirituality books.
Sometimes I'm in the mood to read more practical things like habit building.
And then other times like, I really don't want to read that stuff.
So I was inspired by my recent reading
and to share my favorite books on spirituality.
For those of you who want to read more books on this topic,
expand your consciousness, change your perspective on the world.
All of that.
The first book I recommend is
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra.
I am a fan of Deepak Chopra.
I am a fan, especially of his audio books,
because for some reason I really like his voice.
I like his accent.
He's very soothing and I just feel calm and peaceful listening to him.
Plus he just has decades of like
wisdom and knowledge in the area of spirituality.
So if you've never read any of his works,
I highly recommend checking that one out.
It's his most popular.
It is older
but it's still very, very good content.
In that book,
he shares the universal spiritual laws that apply to our world.
And it's just important to understand these laws,
how they work and use that to create the life that we want within those constructs.
If you've already read that book,
the book that I'm currently listening to
by Deepak Chopra is called Synchro Destiny.
And it's a book about synchronicities
and how it is a sign of your consciousness awakening.
If you've ever experienced random coincidences where you're like,
wow, that is too coincidental.
I recommend you read or listen to this book
because it just explains synchronicities.
And it just reveals the magic of this universe
and the energy that is always there.
Another audio that I used to listen to on repeat is called Creating Affluence
and that audio book is free on YouTube.
And I used to listen to it every night.
It's basically lessons that you want to ingrain into your consciousness
for more abundance and success in your life.
By the way, these two books are not included in this top nine list of spirituality books,
but I just feel like they're too good not to share it when talking about Deepak Chopra.
So I figure some of you are interested,
so I'll just link it down below as well.
So you can check it out.
The next book you should read is
The Fifth Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
So one of my favorite books is his previous book called The Four Agreements.
But his book, The Fifth Agreement basically summarizes
the first four agreements and then adds a new fifth one.
And so whether or not you've read the four agreements,
it's still like really beneficial to read the fifth agreement because
one, you get the refresher of the four main agreements that will literally change your life.
They will change your perspective and mindset,
but you also get a bonus fifth one
and Don Miguel Ruiz, he just kind of blows your mind.
He changes your perspective on how you see the world to summarize.
The fifth agreement basically helps you understand that everything know is not the real truth.
Everything is just a reflection of the truth.
It's a relative truth.
It's a symbol.
And you recognize that everyone is living in their own movie.
Like my perception of the world is different from your perception
versus someone else's perception.
And it's learning to see the world in that way.
You can't expect people to see the world as you do.
And our experiences are really just in our own minds.
It's just one of those mind openers.
And I highly recommend reading books like that,
even though I recommend reading The Fifth Agreement first,
because it has everything.
I still have to recommend The Four Agreements, the previous book,
because that is just so good.
It is a classic.
I feel like it should be a recommended reading for like everyone on the planet.
The main lesson that that book taught me was to learn to
not take anything personally
and not to care about what other people think of me,
because you recognize that people are just mirrors of themselves.
It really doesn't have anything to do with you.
Before I share the next book,
I want to talk to you about Skillshare

Moving on the next book to accelerate your spiritual awakening is
The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer.
This book is also one of those like deep, like,
oh my gosh, I never saw the world like that.
I never saw myself like that, that type of book.
So this book will teach you how to understand that you are not your mind.
You are not your ego.
You are the soul, which is the quiet observer of the mind and your ego.
And just everything that you experience as a human being in life.
It says it in the title, The Untethered Soul,
like you are a soul that is untethered,
detached from everything that you used to think was you.
If you are someone that gets caught up in overthinking or caught up in your emotions,
this is a book to read or listen to.
I remember I listened to the audio book of this.
It is really good and it is such great content.
The next book for your spiritual awakening is
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
I've been sharing this book for the past five years because it is so good.
I have not found books that are better than the ones that I'm sharing on this list.
Even though I've read more books,
I think it's always like those first books that you read that are really impactful,
but this book is super popular.
And for good reason,
it's all about living in the present moment,
understanding that your power is only in the now,
the only reality and the only truth is like right now,
the past and the future are just figments of your imagination.
They're just an illusion in your mind.
So if it's not happening right now, don't even worry about it.
Don't waste your energy on it.
Eckhart Tolle is one of those classic, really famous spiritual writers.
I saw him speak in person one time in 2016.
And he is so like Zen.
He's a little bit monotone and boring because he's just so present.
He doesn't have like emotional highs and lows.
He is just living in the moment and it's really funny,
but he really is like a monk.
Anyway, it's a really great book.
It's a book that you can go back to and read again and again.
And it will help you release yourself from the things that hold you back,
release yourself from the pain that you feel anything
that is not happening in the present moment.
It helps you let go of it.
The next book is also by Eckhart Toll.
This is another one of his very famous books.
This was part of the Oprah Book Club.
This is A New Earth.
And this book, I remember reading it years ago
and it is so dense, but it is so good.
It's basically about the ego and it just paints
all the different angles and the scenarios of your ego.
And so it helps you recognize what part of you is your ego
and which part of you is the true you,
the soul, the consciousness,
and then it kind of guides you on like,
okay, these are the ego's desires.
Like don't fall into this trap.
Don't fall into that trap.
So that is a book that will help you
further detach yourself from the desires
and the sufferings of life.
And it's one of those like really good books that you can always go back to
and reread again, it's really dense.
It takes a while to like digest, but it is good stuff.
The next book I want to share is
You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.
This is also a very old book.
It's one of those like classic self-help books.
And it is about learning to heal from your traumas,
heal from negative beliefs, limiting beliefs,
just the things that hold you back.
Those emotions that are like kept in you,
how to heal those negative energies in you.
And she believes, and I believe this too,
that all physical well, most physical elements are rooted in
emotional distress or unprocessed emotions because
unprocessed emotions stay in your body in a certain energy
and they become stressed.
They become tension.
It's kind of like if you're stressed about something,
your shoulders will tighten up and over time,
if every day you don't relieve that stress,
your shoulder is going to get tighter and tighter and tighter
to the point where, you know, it's going to start hurting.
So that is the idea behind like emotions leading to physical ailments.
I obviously not everything is coming from emotional.
Like if you break a bone or if you're born with something like
that is a different story,
but I find a lot of validity in this concept.
And it is super helpful.
If you are someone who has not yet dealt with
your childhood trauma or any past pains,
it is a book to read.
If you want to work on your self love
with yourself because only once you've processed those things,
can you be more free?
Can your spirit and soul feel nourished?
The next book I want to share is
Light is the New Black by Rebecca Campbell.
This is a slightly newer book, but it's also really good.
I love her perspectives on this, and it's very uplifting.
So first of all,
Lightworker means a soul that came to earth to spread their light
and to spread light on earth in this world that we live in.
So I don't know about you, but I relate to this term Lightworker
because I believe when you are doing the things
you're good at doing the things that you enjoy,
like you are lighting up and by lighting up,
you inspire other people to light up.
And you know, one at a time,
eventually we create this like wave in this movement
where everybody lights up,
everybody is more kind and happy and loving.
And, and ultimately our purpose is
to leave the world a little bit better than we found it.
So if this term Lightworker resonates with you,
I recommend you read this book because it is very uplifting
and it's very reassuring and it reminds you like why you are here.
It gives you a sense of purpose.
And it's just very positive.
And I actually interviewed Rebecca Campbell on my podcast a few years ago.
I'll link that down below, but it was very interesting to talk to her
because she was speaking on experiences she's had when she went back to
like a memory before she came on earth,
where she remembered her soul agreeing to come to earth, to be a Lightworker,
whether you choose to believe it or not,
some people believe that your soul came to earth for a purpose.
And you came here knowing you had a purpose.
You came here knowing like,
these are the lessons I'm going to learn.
These are going to be my strengths.
These are gonna be my weaknesses.
These are going to be my struggles.
And it's, you're choosing to go through these struggles
on earth so that you learn a lesson at the end of it.
And with that spiritual perspective,
it makes going through struggles a little bit easier
because you recognize there's a reason for it.
You're meant to struggle.
You're meant to learn.
You're meant to experience something.
The last book I recommend on spirituality is that
The Universe Has Your Back by Gabby Bernstein.
So this is a book to listen to or read.
If you don't feel like you are supported in life,
if you feel like you're struggling.
And if you don't understand why you're struggling,
this is a book to remind you that the universe has your back.
The universe is your friend.
The universe wants what you want.
You are conspiring with the universe to create your dream life,
to create the reality that you want to live in.
So it is a book with reminders and it helps you shift your mindset in a way
where you feel more supported
and you feel more that everything makes sense.
I understand everything has a reason.
It just helps you have more faith in your life
and what you're going through.
So the reason I recommend this book last is because
one it's newer and number two,
it is written in a more like beginner, basic sense,
meaning like it's more simple.
It's great if you're just getting your feet wet into spirituality,
but I wouldn't say it's like one of those classics that like is so mind changing
but it is a very good reminder.
It kind of reminds me of like,
You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero.
It's like written in a new modern tone.
And it just reminds you that
you're a bad-ass that the universe supports you in everything that you do,
and to just learn to trust and also to surrender.
So if you're someone who has trouble like letting go
and you want to control everything,
you want to control the outcomes and this and that,
listen to this book because
you really have to understand to like, let it go.
