A New Earth

Eckhart Tolle

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

I'm sure that many of you are reading Oprah's book club book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61). But on the rare chance that you haven't read it yet; I highly recommend it!

The Law of Attraction
Jerry Hicks

This book presents the powerful basics of the original Teachings of Abraham. Within these pages, you’ll learn how all things, wanted and unwanted, are brought to you by this most powerful law of the universe, the Law of Attraction. (that which is like unto itself is drawn). You’ve most likely heard the saying “Like attracts like,” “Birds of a feather flock together,” or “It is done unto you as you believe” (a belief is only a thought you keep thinking); and although the Law of Attraction has been alluded to by some of the greatest teachers in history, it has never before been explained in as clear and practical terms as in this latest book by New York Times best-selling authors, Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Learn here about the omnipresent Laws that govern this Universe and how to make them work to your advantage. The understanding that you’ll achieve by reading this book will take all the guesswork out of daily living. You’ll finally understand just about everything that’s happening in your own life as well as in the lives of those you’re interacting with. This book will help you to joyously be, do, or have anything that you desire!

What Cecilia Says: I read this book in about 3 days an have been using it's principles everyday with great results. Basically it teaches you that what you think and feel you attract into your life. After reading it I felt like I understood how the universe works and that I was in control of my experiences. It is a very empowering read. I highly recommend it. If you liked the movie "The Secret" you will love this book.

Ask and It Is Given

Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, which presents the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, will help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve.

As you read, you’ll come to understand how your relationships, health issues, finances, career concerns, and more are influenced by the Universal laws that govern your time/space reality—and you’ll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life.

What Cecilia says: I really like the exercises in the back of the book. They lead you through visualizations, affirmations, and fun games you can play to feel more abundant and hence attract more abundance into your life. I'm having so much fun with it!

The Astonishing Power of Emotions

What Cecilia says: This is their most recent book and one of the best I believe. Another great book to add to your Esther and Jerry Hicks collection.

Ani's Raw Food Kitchen
Ani Phyo

What Cecilia Says: My favorite easy raw food cook book period. The recipes are simple and delicious what more could you ask for!

Raw Food Made Easy For 1 or 2 People
Jennifer Cornbleet

Getting 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day has never been so delicious and easy. Jennifer Cornbleet, the well-known Chicago-based cooking instructor, shares her favorite no-cook recipes, in smaller quantities ideal for one or two. While full of gourmet flavor, these recipes are surprisingly simple to make, calling for common equipment and ingredients found in any well-stocked grocery store. Essential time-saving tips and techniques, along with Jennifer's clear instructions, prove you don't have to toil in the kitchen in order to enjoy nutritious, delicious raw food.

What Cecilia says: This book is such a great resource because Jennifer really does make it easy for you. The recipes are simple, the ingredients are easy to find, and she gives you guidelines on how to prepare and store ingredients in advance. It also has a great resource section. A wonderful book for beginners.

Raw Foods For Busy People
Jordan Maerin

What Cecilia says: This would be a good introduction to raw foods. Learn how to make the simple stuff first and then you can get fancier if you like. If you start by making the fancy dishes you'll likely give up because of the intensity of food preparation.

Green for Life
Victoria Boutenko

Thomas C. Chavez, Homeopath, Author of Body Electronics
Author's clear, masterful concept, so powerful - we can expect to see the world of health rocked to its foundations.

Dr Ruza Bogdanovich, author of The Cure is in the Cause
Victoria's new book will bring health to millions. A must read!

 What Cecilia says: Victoria compares our diet to Chimps and shows us how to get more greens in our diet by making blended soups and green smoothies. This book is great for beginners or long time raw foodist's alike. Everyone could use more greens in their diet!

Instant Raw Sensations
Frederic Patenaude

Book Description
Finally a recipe book that you'll use!

As you already know, most recipe books eventually become relics in the kitchen. Why? The recipes are too complicated, long to prepare and contain ingredients you don't have or don't know where to find! Raw-food recipe books also often require several expensive kitchen appliances. And what about that huge mess you have to make in the kitchen, slaving for hours just to prepare that one dish?

Enter: "Instant Raw Sensations." Finally a book with recipes that are simple to prepare and ingredients you can easily find. Most recipes can be prepared in less than 10 minutes with a simple cutting board and blender. And guess what? They taste amazing too!

The author, Frederic Patenaude, only kept his best recipes -- the ones that you will want to make over and over again. He also requested the help of a crew of raw chefs and raw-food enthusiasts who contributed their favorite instant sensations.

This book will appeal to vegetarians, raw-foodists or anyone wanting to eat healthier meals.

What Cecilia says: I am partial to simple raw food recipes and that's why I like Frederic's recipes so much. His recipes are simple, well food combined, easy to make, and most importantly yummy! This would be a good book for beginners.

Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine
Gabriel Cousens

What Cecilia says: If you have candida/yeast related issues  this book will show you how to make delicious low glycemic recipes.

Raw Truth
Jeremy Safron
 

From the Publisher
The latest food trend is so retro it’s practically primeval: fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts untouched by temperatures greater than 108°F. In THE RAW TRUTH, restaurateur and consultant Jeremy Safron exalts the delicious simplicity of this back-to-basics cuisine. In a down-to-earth, no-fuss style, Safron teaches the fundamentals for soaking or sprouting ingredients like almonds and sesame seeds to make many appetizing, hearty, proud-to-be-raw dishes. But these dishes aren’t only tasty, they’re healthful too: raw foodists claim that raw foods contain all the enzymes needed to break down on their own, plus more vitamins and nutrients than their cooked counterparts. So whip up such rare and healthy creations as Creamy Red Pepper Soup, Carrot Almond Essence Bread, and Carob Hazelnut Torte, and make your next meal totally rawesome!

What Cecilia says: This book is great for you if you are lacking creative inspiration. The recipes are so original and creative I never cease to get inspiration from this fabulous book.

Raw Food/Real World
Matthew Kenney

Book Description

Top New York chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney and his partner, Sarma Melngailis, had been thinking of opening a Moroccan restaurant. But one night they were invited to a raw food restaurant -- and it changed their lives. They instead opened Pure Food and Wine, a restaurant devoted to creative, tasty raw food, and it has been drawing rave reviews. Dishes such as Zucchini and Green Zebra Tomato Lasagne, Golden Squash Pasta with Black Summer Truffles, and Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart with Vanilla Cream have given raw food a sexy new appeal.

What Cecilia says: Okay so you've been doing the raw food thing for awhile and now want to get gourmet. Impress your friends and family with the intricate recipes in this book. Even though the recipes are fancy in this book, I find them easier to prepare than the other famous "gourmet" RAW cookbooks on the market. The pictures are great too!

The Live Food Factor

Susan E. Schenck

What Cecilia says: You're not so much interested in recipes but you want to know the reasons why the live food diet is so good for you. This author uses anecdotal  evidence and research to support her claims. The writing is easy to read and this type of book would make a good gift for friends or family. The only drawbacks are: 1. There is Nama Shoyu in the recipes (that stuff gives me migraines) and I think she oversimplified the section on kid's nutritional needs on raw food. Overall, a good read and introduction to the raw foods diet.

CD and DVD Recommendations

Music for Healing
Steven Halpern

Natural Balance and Harmony Your body is a self-healing instrument. If you give it a chance it will always tend toward homeostasis or healthful balance. Sound healer Steven Halpern uses soothing and free-floating keyboard compositions to draw the body into this state of balance and harmony. Combining artistic inspiration, sensitivity, and sophisticated sound technology, his compositions synchronize the hemispheres of the brain and amplify the production of alpha waves. This natural response is associated with feelings of deep relaxation, contentment, and well-being.

What Cecilia says: This CD isn't music in so much as it's soothing tones. I don't know what it does to my brain but I feel relaxed the minute I put it on. Good for massage and mediation too.

Francisco De Assisi
Marcus Viana

What Cecilia says: This CD is amazing it sounds like angles singing. It's a Brazilian artist with incredible orchestral arrangements combined with angelic voices, prayers, and catholic chants all in beautiful Portuguese. The best C.D. I've ever bought. Can be used for mediation and massage as well.

The Secrets of the Power of Intention (6 set Audio C.D.)
Wayne W. Dyer

Part I deals with the principles of intention, offering true stories and examples on ways to make the connection. Dr. Dyer identifies the attributes of the all-creating universal mind of intention as creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expanding, endlessly abundant, and receptive, explaining the importance of emulating this source of creativity. In Part II, Dr. Dyer offers an intention guide with specific ways to apply the co-creating principles in daily life. Part III is an exhilarating description of Dr. Dyer’s vision of a world in harmony with the universal mind of intention.

What Cecilia says: This CD set is deeply inspirational as Wayne Dyer teaches you how to connect with source and manifest your dreams.
 

What the Bleep Do We Know!? (DVD)
Elaine Hendrix

"WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?!" is a radical departure from convention. It demands a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far unknown, indeed, not even dreamed of since Copernicus. It's a documentary. It's a story. It's mind-blowing special effects. This film plunges you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated - where neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist - where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought.

What Cecilia says: This movie reminded me that we have the power to create our own destiny through the power of our thoughts. It's a good thing to be reminded of everyday!

Spiritual Book Recommendations

Spiritual Alliances
Emma Bragdon

Alternative and complementary medicine is one of the most vibrant growth areas in health care today. Acupuncture, therapeutic massage, chiropractic and herbal remedies used to be considered so fringe that no insurance company would cover them and no reputable doctor would ever dream of recommending them to a patient.

The final frontier in healing, however, is just beginning to peek over the horizon; although it's been practiced for hundreds of years, it is still not readily available in the Western world. But thousans of recipients have experienced dramtic results. More and more conventional physicians are trekking to a foreign country to witness the work first-hand. What they find often astonished the and challenges everything they were trained to believe in medical school. The treatment? Spiritual healing.

In this new book, Emma Bragdon tells the story of Joao de Deus (or, "John of God"), a world-famous Brazilian healer successful in helping people heal from all manner of physical and emotional problems through the application of spiritual healing.

What Cecilia says: If you believe in miracles and the power of faith this book is for you. Here is an article written by the author.

The Book of Miracles
Josie Ravenwing

In this breathtaking, luminous account of the work of famous Brazilian healer Joao de Deus (John of God), author Josie Raven Wing describes a world in which miraculous healing is a common occurrence and where love is the predominant energy.

What Cecilia says: Another uplifting book written about John of God, full of healing testimonials.

Lello 4070 Gelato Junior

by Lello

With a minimum freezing temperature of –4 degrees F, the Simac Gelato Junior takes only about 30 minutes to satisfy your craving for a frozen confection. Plus, the built-in compressor freezer operates continuously, so you can turn out multiple flavors of ice cream while your guests finish their dinner. A 60-minute electronic timer frees you up for other activities, and an automatic safety mechanism sounds a warning beep if the integrated spatula blade gets stuck. A removable 1-quart bowl, transparent lid, and slim ingredient window all simplify operation, and the unit is also useful for crafting frozen drinks and chilled soups. Though not lightweight at 31 pounds, the Gelato Junior is fairly sleek for its class, measuring 11 by 14 by 12-1/4 inches. Simac includes a booklet of tasty ice cream, sorbet, and dessert sauce recipes, as well as an ice cream scoop.

What Cecilia says: If you want raw ice cream in 30 minutes then this is the ice cream maker for you! I've found it works better than traditional ice cream makers. So far I've used coconut milk or almond milk mixed with fruit to make incredible tasting non dairy ice cream; the possibilities are endless!
