Fear can be debilitating in terms of making important life decisions. The author of Eat, Pray and Love talks about overcoming fear with humor and a fresh perspective.

Dying to Be Me, by Anita Moorjani:  Anita rocks the boat in defying cancer, especially in the medical scene. She had a near death experience wherein she felt deep, unconditional love from the Divine Source and realized that her illness came into her life to help her realize just that. After she was revived, her cancer of 4 years went away in just a few weeks.   She now travels the world sharing her healing experience. Apart from her recount, her insights touched me on a whole new level, reminding me that nothing else exists but love.

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay:  This book started Sarah on her healing journey. Louise Hay talks about accepting our body the way it is. Moreover, she recommends mirror work – standing in front of the mirror, looking yourself in the eye and telling yourself with wholehearted feeling, “I love you. I really, really love you.” Mirror work can be transformative indeed.

The Hidden Messages of Water by Masaru Emoto:  This book details the late Japanese scientist’s discoveries about the properties of water – that it can absorb and reflect the energy of words, emotions and even music.   As our body is made up of 60-80% water, this shows the importance of the effect of repetitive emotions and thoughts on a person’s body, whether you say it to yourself or to someone else.
