Hidden Gems

In this podcast, Deborah Weafer and Stuart discuss Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love . This book became a worldwide phenomenon, empowering millions of people to set out on paths they never thought possible, in search of their own best selves. 

In the book,  nearly 50 of those people, as diverse in their experiences as they are in age and background, share their stories.

The journeys they recount are transformative - sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always deeply inspiring. Eat Pray Love helped one writer to embrace motherhood, another to come to terms with the loss of her mother, and yet another to find peace with not wanting to become a mother at all. One writer, reeling from a difficult divorce, finds new love overseas; another, a lifelong caregiver, is inspired to take an annual road trip solo.

Graham Roe, homeopathy practitioner and teacher, QCT therapist, applied elemental homeopathy expert talks about an inspirational book - Autobiography of a Yogi  by Paramahansa Yogananda. 

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI is at once a delightful account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its tradition of meditation. Clearly explaining the subtle but definite laws behind the natural events of everyday life as well as the extraordinary events considered miraculous the author reveals the scientific foundation underlying the great religious paths of both East and West. His absorbing life story thus becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence. Considered a modern spiritual classic this book has been translated into eighteen languages and is used as a text and reference work in numerous colleges and universities. A perennial best-seller since it was first published sixty years ago AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI has found its way into the hearts of millions of readers around the world.

The Four Agreements is a provocative and mind-altering Toltec guide to waking up and finding peace in our illusory world – by retired surgeon, author and Eagle-Knight shaman Don Miguel Ruiz.

But it is possible to wake up from this dream. It is possible to re-engineer your reality without the endless striving, without the suffering.
