Suggested Readings from Inner Eye Publishing Nancy Marie*

Suggested Readings

I love good books. They provided me with comfort, respite and wisdom. I have also found that exposing myself to various authors and writing styles ignites my intuition and offers me a greater perspective on life.

Wisdom exists everywhere, so always read what pleases your soul. I have found wisdom in comic books, cookbooks, construction manuals and in books written for children. Every book has something to offer someone. So walk into a book store or library and see what calls to you.

The books on my Suggested Reading List are ones that repeatedly provide me with wisdom and truly delight my soul. If you have any favorites e-mail them to me, because I will be adding other books on to this list from time to time.

	The Heart of Yoga - T.K.V. Desikachar I can't think of a better book to recommend for someone beginning to be excited by yoga but bewildered by the different schools of thought and their sometimes-conflicting teachings.

	Kitchen Table Wisdom - Rachel Naomi Remen M.D. Wisdom has always been passed along through story telling. Reading this collection of real-life stories feels like a late-night kitchen session with a best friend, munching on leftovers while listening to the good-as-gossip stories of everyday heroes and archetype villains. Every story guides us like a life compass, showing us what's good and lasting about ourselves as well as humanity. For secure on-line ordering, click here for the Village Books web site.
	Legacy of Luna -Julia Butterfly Hill Julia Butterfly Hill climbed a 200-foot redwood in December 1997 and She didn't come down for 738 days. This book is part diary, part treatise, and part New Age spiritual journey. It is also the story of Julia Butterfly Hill's two-year arboreal odyssey in her attempt to save the old-growth forest.

	Stalking the Wild Pendulum -Itzhak Bentov I read this book many years ago, and it made a lasting impression on me as one of the most clear explanations of consciousness I had ever read. Itzhak Bentov has a clear grasp of reality and makes a concise explanation of his view in terminology that is easily understood by anyone. It dazzled my imagination and caused me to rethink everything I had ever thought about reality. For secure on-line ordering, click here for the Village Books web site.
	Tao of Pooh - Benjamin Hoff One of the world's great Taoist masters isn't Chinese, or a venerable philosopher, but is in fact none other than A. A. Milne's effortlessly calm, still, reflective bear Winnie-the-Pooh. While Eeyore frets and Piglet hesitates and Rabbit calculates and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is. That's the secret wisdom of the Taoists, the art of simple natural living. For secure on-line ordering, click here for the Village Books web site.
	The Zen of Seeing- Frederick Franck This book is has had such a profound effect on my life that I go back to it whenever I need to be inspired and refreshed.
