Rosemary Altea - Reading any of Rosemary Altea's books on spiritual growth can be a window into the essence of what it means to be a medium. If you are seeking to learn more about the spiritual world or seeking to develop your own capabilities, then Rosemary Altea is a perfect read.

The Eagle & The Rose

This is a memoir of Rosemary Altea`s path towards her abilities as a medium. Easily one of my favourite books and one I recommend to my readings often. As a way to discover more about the world of spiritualism this is possibly the best place to start.

Proud Spirit
Rosemary's second book and an international bestseller poses the question to her readers: Are you a proud spirit? Rosemary then goes on to explain what she means by this phrase and with her spirit guide, Grey Eagle, she take readers farther along the path, exploring opportunities for spiritual growth in our everyday lives.

Give The Gift Of Healing 

Rosemary Altea, the internationally renowned medium known to millions worldwide as "The Voice of the Spirit World," is also the founder of the Rosemary Altea Association of Healers, a charitable organization with patients worldwide. In this book package, Rosemary offers an introduction to spiritual healing, beginning with a personal account of how she embraced her role as a healer sixteen years ago. Sharing her belief that sickness and pain can cause the soul to live in a dark place, Rosemary presents healing techniques designed to give light - the Seven Steps to Self-Healing. We meet two inspiring patients who have been treated by Rosemary and her team of healers, and we learn how we can harness the power of our own thoughts and use color energy visualizations to achieve inner peace. Also included is a color chart explaining how each of eight vibrant hues can give us the gift of healing.  

Soul Signs by Rosemary Altea (ISBN: 1-59486-229-X) - Ever wonder what the soul truly is? How it works? Where soul mates come from? And how understanding your soul can bring positive change into your life? Altea's book Soul Signs takes a turn from her conversation in The Eagle And The Rose, which was her personal journey into the spiritual world, towards a book that focuses on theory and spiritual understanding. Perhaps Altea is on the cusp of a new wave of spiritualism with this book. 

Rita Rogers - Known in England primarily, because of her high-profile readings, such as to Princess Diana, Rita Rogers is England's pre-eminent clairvoyant. Rogers has helped in Police Investigations and has a penchant for connecting children who have passed away, with their parents who are still grieving their loss. Any of her books are equally as insightful as Rosemary Altea's.

A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (ISBN: 978-0-452-28996-3) - Who hasn`t heard of this book recently? Oprah's Book Club has made this a roaring success. Tolle`s book doesn`t expunge any greater wisdom then other books about spirituality, human potential and growth; but what Tolle does do is lay the information down in a clear and straight-forward manner. One can't help but commend Oprah for choosing a book about growth and how the ripple effect of actions eventually turns into a tidal wave of change. A timely book that showcases the importance of individuals in the progress of positive change and the importance of working as a world community to make those changes successful.

Awakening Intuition by Mona Lisa Schulz M.D./P.H.D (ISBN: 0-609-80424-3) - This is simply a must have book. Mona Lisa Schulz is an incredibly intelligent and vibrant person who has managed to extend Louise Hay`s theories in You Can Heal Your Life and garner authentic scientific connections. Awakening Intuition is a book that will help anyone identify how their health problems are related to emotional situations that have not been dealt with and have manifested themselves. Schulz also gives constructive ways to change those patterns and achieve greater physical health and emotional healing.

Crystal Energy by Mary Lambert (ISBN: 13-978-1-4027-2376-6) - A great secondary reference after reading the Crystal Bible! When you have a good grasp of how crystals can be of benefit in your life, this additional book on Crystals will give you practical ways to incorporate the power of crystals in your own life.

Crystal Therapy by Doreen Virtue & Judith Lukomski (ISBN:978-1-4019-0467-8) – Similar to The Crystal Bible, Doreen Virtue’s book on crystals and their powers is a helpful guide and reference book. Since Doreen Virtue is ‘the Angel Lady’ her perspectives and information on the uses of crystals makes this book an additional helpful resource to The Crystal Bible.

Chinese Astrology by Bettina Luxon (ISBN: 0-86288-163-3) - By expanding our understanding of spirituality on many levels, we can learn more about ourselves. Delving into Eastern Philosophies is a great way to do this. Bettina Luxon's book on Chinese Astrology is a great beginners book on the subject.

Sun & Moon Signs by Julia & Derek Parker (ISBN: 0-7513-0396-8) - Perhaps one of my most useful books, I constantly reference this for moon and sun signs. You can discover what your actual moon sign is and then under each sun sign a section is dedicated to each moon signs influence on that sun sign. A very thorough, and often accurate look at Sun & Moon Signs.

The Power Of Birthdays, Stars & Numbers by Saffi Crawford and Geraldine Sullivan (ISBN: 0-345-41819-0) - This would be my second most referenced book, as it is a source of actual birthday personality information. An uncanny accuracy, this book has a great deal of constructive information about an individual's birth sign, right down to the day they were born.

In The Meantime by Iyanla Vanzant (ISBN-10: 0684841363) - She is as relevant today as she was a decade ago when this book first came out. Iyanla Vanzant is a wonderful guide for people on their paths of growth and personal understanding. She is also a part of the TV Show Starting Over, which teaches people how to grow and develop through counselling.  

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (ISBN-10: 1582701709) - Of course everyone has possibly heard of The Secret by now, and it is no longer a secret, but the book and DVD are valuable resources in helping to understand our own capabilities in shaping our futures. It is a great way to learn the basics of how our thoughts relate to our personal growth and future development.

A Touch Of Wonder by Arthur Gordon (ISBN-10: 0800756029) - Very similar to Chicken Soup For The Soul, A Touch Of Wonder is a series of inspiring stories that have been compiled. Unlike the Chicken Soup series, these stories are longer, and a little more involved. These stories remind us that we can connect in beautiful ways with the world and people around us.

Self Matters by Dr. Phil (ISBN-10: 074322423X) - He may be an outspoken Texan, but Dr. Phil often has sound logic that is not wrapped in cotton wool. It is this practical and pragmatic outlook that makes Dr. Phil so refreshing and straight forward. Self Matters is the perspective that you need to work on yourself in order to achieve outward success.

The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom (ISBN-10: 1401384056) - Even though this book is a work of fiction. Mitch Albom has wrote a beautiful story about how the heart grieves, heals and walks forward into the light. It is a beautiful telling of someone's life from a different perspective. Sometimes a brief meeting with someone can change your life in ways you never knew and vice versa.

Across Time & Death by Jenny Cockell - This is an amazing true story of a woman who had vivid visions of her past life as an Irish Mother of a large family of children. Her  promise was that if she could find a way to come back to her children she would, and she did....

Angels (ISBN 0-8362-3042-6) - This little pocket book was recently given to me as a gift. It is the perfect little book to read while you wait aimlessly in a line-up or at the dentist's office. The book is full of quotes and thoughts on angels, which you can ponder at leisure. The book comes with a beautiful ribbon bookmark with little angel pendent attached.   

The Prophet by Khalil Gibran (ISBN-13: 978-0394404288) - Since it's original publication, The Prophet has never gone out of circulation. This is a wonderful book of reference set within a myth of a travelling Prophet who arrives by boat to a small village. The villagers ask the Prophet questions about goodness, and life skills, and marriage, and family. The Prophet answers with all the wisdom of history and the world. I reference this book often for inspiration and guidance.

Life Makeover by Cheryl Richardson (ISBN: 978-0767908849) – Richardson is a practical mentor to her readers along the lines of self-help, but with the tutelage of Louise Hay.

The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief by Gregg Braden (ISBN: 978-1401905736) – Braden’s books are difficult to understand, and definitely not for beginners, but Braden is a powerful writer and has wrapped his head around some authentic quantum physics; well worth the challenge when the time is right for you.

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing by Christiane Northrup (ISBN: 978-0553384109) – A leading authority on women’s health, Christiane Northrup has the ability to merge modern medicine with holistic to provide the greatest possible options for her readers. I know many women who use this book frequently as a first reference point.
