Many of
you have requested a list of recommended books and other resources
for further investigation. Here is a beginning, and you can expect
additions from time to time. I have a broad range of interests
that includes essences, holistic health for people and animals,
how the human mind and body work, sacred geometry, and much more.
Items
marked with a triple asterisk (***) are personal favorites that
I have read, in many cases more than once. The others are in
my library or on my list, waiting for that moment when there
is time to dive in. Some of these have been recommended by clients
or customers; some have made themselves known through the magic
of wandering the internet, seeking wisdom and information. They
are included for your research and discernment pleasure. Enjoy
exploring!
Books
are broken into groups of fairly broad topics, and you can click
on one of the links immediately below this paragraph for the
beginning of each topic. Some are about how essences work, many
are references for the metaphysical properties of plants, gems
and animals (beyond the descriptions you will find on the essence
pages), and many are subjects that are simply near and dear to
my heart. Let me know if you have any questions or a favorite
book you would like to see included, and I'll consider adding
it to the list.

Healing
Mind, Body, and Soul
I had
the honor of attending classes with Hanna Kroeger when I lived
in Boulder, Colorado, and I have also studied with two of the
teachers she trained - Bobbi Brooks and Ginger Bowler. Hanna's
information is accessible and offers insight into her research
regarding the 7 Physical and 7 Spiritual Causes of Ill Health.
God Helps Those Who Help Themselves introduces the 7 Physical
Causes and is a great introduction to Hanna's work.
