THE MIRACLE HABITS: The Secret of Turning Your Moments into Miracles

Mitch Horowitz is the real deal. He never presents a metaphysical practice he hasn’t worked with and tested. He never supplies platitudes. He is open about his struggles and triumphs, and what mind metaphysics can do and not do. His book The Miracle Habits is his latest in a series of books that began with his contemporary New Thought classic The Miracle Club. In addition to road-tested metaphysical practices, he tells us not to turn away from the practical. For example, get away from cruel people as quickly as you can, dress in a way that fulfills your truest self-expression, and spend money only on that which builds your life in the direction you want to go. Every word is dedicated to helping you achieve your highest goals. Read it. Live it.

MICROSHIFTS: Transforming Your Life One Step at a Time

The idea of change is scary to most of us, and yet there is probably an area or two in our lives that we really would like to shift in the coming year. “MicroShifts- Transforming your life one step at a time” doesn’t ask us to turn our lives upside down. The book offers ideas for practical spiritual transformation through small steps that add up to big results. Here’s a favorite MicroShift from his book: “Pick a word that holds some kind of positive or sacred significance for you and then repeat the word throughout the day. Many of us spend a lot of time repeating negative thoughts in our heads. Let’s give the mind some rest.” The book is filled with fresh ideas like these that Jansen calls “spiritual life hacks.” And it is more than that. Jansen says, “This book is really meant to assist you in pondering the great gift that is your life and seeing extraordinary things in extraordinary ways.”

SCRIPTING THE LIFE YOU WANT: Manifest Your Dreams With Just Pen and Paper

Royce Christyn is a leading new voice and his book, Scripting the Life You Want, stretches the boundaries of conventional wisdom and offers an innovative take on manifestation practices.

In the first part of the book Christyn explains the scripting process, which combines elements such as affirmations and vision boards while transcending its inspirations. It represents 20 plus years of trial and error. This is the process that helped Christyn land a coveted role on a Disney series. Typical visualization practices focus on big end goals. What’s unique to scripting is including focus on small, achievable steps to those big goals. The second part of the book delves into new science to understand what makes these practices work. The book explains these mind-blowing findings in easy-to-understand ways and inspires ground-breaking practices, including using an app that connects to a quantum computer to help break us out of habitual patterns and open us to more synchronicities.

THE GIFT – Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master

These lyrical poems by the legendary Sufi master Hafiz have been referred to as ecstatic love songs from God. I read poems from this book to my wife before proposing to her. Want to remember who you really are? Read Hafiz. Here is an excerpt:

Where Is the Door to the Tavern?

Where is the door to God?

In the sound of a barking dog,

In the ring of a hammer,

In a drop of rain,

In the face of

Everyone

I see.

ANGELS ON OVERTIME   

Reading this whimsical tale of hope and happiness has become a favorite holiday tradition for my wife. The story begins with a question: “There’s a saying that every single blade of grass has an angel bending over it, gently whispering, “Grow! Grow! Grow!” If every single blade of grass has that much loving attention, can you imagine what every single human being has? You’re about to find out.” With humor and warmth, author Ann Crawford gets us to pondering if life isn’t as random as we think. It’s an enchanting story that reminds us it’s never too late to find love and dreams do come true. And angels are everywhere.
