When I was 15 I went to my first spiritual growth retreat.
I loved every moment of it, and for the next two decades of my life I devoured everything I could read on the subject and went to many highly recommended workshops and intensives.
Sometimes when I am so caught up in the joy and honor of training people to become powerful and authentic speakers, and coaching our group of spiritually-centered entrepreneurs how to make a lot of money doing what they love, I forget that in relation to my work, spirituality is my first love.
Everything we do at Groover Seminars is focused on getting you tangible results in your business and life, but at the fundamental level of every one of our trainings is the intention to help people (and ourselves) become more aware – energetically, psychologically, and spiritually.
This week I wanted to share with you 5 of my favorite spiritual books that still have a huge impact on me today.
Watch the video today to find your next inspirational read.
I’d love to hear which spiritual books are your all-time favorites.
It’s getting warmer here, which means more time to read outside under a tree. What should I be reading next?
Post a comment below.
Much love,
P.S. Next week’s Awaken TV is going to be a 2 hour LIVE episode, streaming from our new HQ in Colorado. You must register to watch this free training here. It’s going to be fun and will help you to stand out with a magnetic presence and attract the attention you want: https://groover.leadpages.net/afplivestream2015/

Thank you for sharing, Karen. It’s so nice to see what other people have in their spiritual library.
I love that you specified “practiced not just read” for ACIM! All wonderful choices.
Thank you Rachael! Love your enthusiasm! Your light!
“The Story of the V,” Catherine Blackledge for a lost history, integration and self-love.
This is a good recommendation, thank you for sharing.
I love Anita Moorjani’s book, Dying to Be Me.
Hi Kate. Moorjani’s book is a powerful reminder of how our bodies truly hold the key to our healing, whether we know it or not. Thanks for sharing.
i love also Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahamsa Yogananda … Om … Great programs, great to see you again next week for the special program ! thank you sooooo much Rachael ! om
Hi Isabelle, thank you for sharing. This book is definitely a spiritual classic.
Anything by ram dass !
Dianne, Ram Dass is one of the most enlightened speakers of our time. His teachings are beautiful and spiritual.
The Celestine Prophesy by James Redfield started me on my spiritual path. I also love Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill, I Can See Clearly Now by Wayne Dyer, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and, last but not least, A Course in Miracles.
These are all fabulous choices, Jane. Thanks for sharing!
Conversations with God (all of them.)
Hi Rishell, thank you for sharing your suggestion. The CwG network works hard to help people all around the world, and it’s nice to know they made an impact on you.
Women who run with the wolves – Clarissa Pinkola Estes Ph.D., a book every woman should read!
Grace and the Wind, by Australian author Kristina Dryza, powerful life lessons, woven into a beautiful story.
Those are excellent choices, Crystal. Thank you for suggesting them!
I have read A LOT of self-help stuff but my favorites are…
A New Earth -Eckhart Tolle
The Power of Now- Eckhart Tolle
Powerful & Feminine – Rachel Jayne Groover 🙂
On a side note, I like to stay away from any spiritual books that teach “escapism”, going out of your body or relying on outside sources for help. I like staying grounded and in my body.
Eckhart Tolle has written some very good books, Christina. Thank you for sharing your favorites!
Love all your videos Jayne… looking forward to doing your training soon!
Thank you, Giovanna. We can’t wait to have you train with us!
Two of my new favorites are “The Language of Emotions”by Karla McLaren and “The Power of the Herd” by Linda Kohanov.
I look forward to working with you in the future.
Thank you for your Presence in the world, Rachel Jayne!
Blessings Abound,
Carol O
