Resources to help you always remember who you are
Our Soul is the source of our pure creative expression, untouched in all its fragrant beauty. To love, to hold dear, to speak with and to be in communion with whenever we want. This is why we are never alone. We are our best source of comfort. Erika Fish
Every moment of every day, the primary aspect of our being, our Soul, recognises the gifts which fall into our lap to ease us into the flow of life.
The mind will resist and deny its natural flow of love, gentleness, and joy. It will make up stories which are simply not true, and it will be hard to tell the difference until new patterns are set in motion.
We all gravitate to what feels right in any given moment, because we are all unique, and express our creativity according to the strength of our Minds understanding and innate wisdom.
Self discovery is to will our curiosity towards the infinite expansiveness of our human Mind and what lies beyond. It is our portal to awakening the consciousness of our human condition.

A Course in Miracles - By Foundation for Inner Peace
This book is available in hardcopy as well as audio. It is not for the faint-hearted. It was my main text when I was releasing habit patterns from my mind and needed an anchor to keep reminding me who I was. It is a very worthwhile text for those who are naturally disciplined and determined in their Mind.
Thich Nhat Hahn - Zen master and spiritual leader, writer, poet and activist, revered for his pioneering teachings on mindfulness, global ethics and peace
I recommend the above books in audiobook as a way of listening and relaxing. When your brain is having to unlearn to make space for new beliefs about your true nature it can be hard to concentrate on reading and absorbing text, but listening is easy, stimulating and relaxing.
Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka
Vipassana means ‘to see things as they really are’ through self-observation and insight.
It is a meditation technique taught by Gotama Buddha. It has been handed down through the centuries enabling us in this life to reach the highest state of our being, which is a state of pure loving awareness.
