Books on health, cancer and self help. 

"Cunt: A declaration of independence" by Inga Muscio 

Taught me about free-bleeding.

"Glittering a turd" by Kris Hellenga

Gave me hope in my darkest hour.

"The Menopause Brain" by Dr Lisa Mosconi

Helped me to understand the menopause.

"It's Not Hysteria" by Dr Karen Tang

A great book on uterine health, Dr Karen Tang is very conscious to use Gender inclusive language which I really liked.

"Take your own advice" by Jeffrey Marsh

Taught me to trust my intuition and to change the way I spoke to myself, and why that was so important.

Consciousness, Psychology & Philosophy

"When the body says no" by Gabor Maté

Current book. Already hooked. I will let you know how it goes...

"Consciousness" by Susan Blackmore 

The first textbook on consciousness that I read at university while studying consciousness. A very good introduction to the topic with deep questions to ask yourself that really get you thinking about what consciousness is. 

Magick &Mysticism. 

"The Night School" by Maia Toll

Helped me learn to know myself. Helped me to trust in the creative process and to release fear of expectation.

"High Magick"  & "A Course in High Magick" Audiobook by Damien Echols

Thought forms helped me to change my mindset. Damien explains Magick and esoteric practices in a simple way. Damien was on death row while creating his magickal practices and had no access to magical tools. He had to make do with himself and a cup of water. That to me, made it more accessible because he wasn't encouraging people to buy fancy things just to access their own power. 

Religion, Shamanism & Animism

"The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet" by Benjamin Hoffman 

Excellent explanation of Taoism. In a format I was used to - we all read Whinnie the Pooh in my family. It taught me about the uncarved block and following the path of least resistance. 

"No Mud, No Lotus"  by Thich Nhat Hanh

I listened to this as an audiobook several times while going through the worst parts of cancer treatments. It Helped me to change the way I looked at my experiences in life and to utilise the negative experience I was going through as a chance to grow. As someone who was used to putting my own needs aside, I started to develop boundaries and fulfil my own needs. 

Physics, Space, U.A.P & E. T phenomenon. 

"A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking

Helped me psychologically. Understanding the universe takes away my fear of the unknown. 

"Inside UFOs: True Accounts of Contact with Extraterrestrials"  by Preston Dennet

I was already a believer. This book stopped me thinking I'd hallucinated my experience and allowed me to accept it as an unknown. 

"Cosmos" by Carl Sagan

Learning about physics is soothing to me. The more I understand the cosmos, the less I fear it.
