It’s beneficial to take time for yourself to immerse in a good book, especially when stressed.

Hi, everybody. So we’re going to talk about books today. We’re really excited because they shape your life, especially if you’re a big reader. And Abby and I are both authors. Abby is much more prolific than I am, and we’re going to talk about books, but we’re going to talk about our favorites. And I mean, I’m not showing you all of the favorites because there’s so many, but some of the ones that kind of shift how you think about things. And then we’re going to show you our own books. I do want to mention my dad’s book that we just launched, and I will have that on the thumbnail because I don’t have the bulk order yet, but.

How are you, Abby? I’m good. I’m good. I think I’ve been going through a bumpy patch of energy. I’ve been very, very tired. But something broke through with the Full Moon. A friend of mine did a release on the Full Moon last night. Not to date the video anything, but I think it’s really helped because I’ve had a huge list of things I had to do and I wasn’t able to do them. And I got a lot of them done today, so I’m very happy. Yeah. Yeah. I had two days of complete exhaustion, Monday and Tuesday, and got almost nothing accomplished during those two days.

And then felt lot. A lot better. And today I feel really good. So today we are filming on the 2nd, and the full moon was last night. It was amazing. It came out of a cloud. It looked like a funnel, and it, you know, it was like the little ice cream scoop in a funnel. Yeah, it was really cool. And maybe I can show that picture. I have to make my phone be quiet, though, which is very rude. You’re so rude. Yeah. But it looks like that. Oh, my goodness. And when you looked at it, like with your naked eye, it looked like it was coming out of the middle of that cloud, which was really fun.

So that is fabulous. But I just want to pull you up on something that you said. Yes. You said you didn’t accomplish very much because you were tired. And I disagree. I totally disagree. Because we need the time, the quiet time to process and your intention that you set to do all the things you want to do. There’s banks of energy in the way sometimes. And maybe by doing nothing physically, you are energetically doing something. So I think we have to just appreciate that on those days where we feel we’re not, you know, doing anything, we could actually be doing quite a lot.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, we’re processing, definitely, for sure. I noticed a lot of people have had these really intense moments over the last couple of weeks, and some people, it’s been like an illness or an injury. A detox is what I call an illness or, you know, basically just being exhausted. So it’s been. Or the injury or the illness comes because they’re not taking those days to rest, so it’s forcing them to slow down. Yeah. When you can just slow down and not have illness or injury because you’ve chosen to slow or you’re in tune enough with yourself to say, oh, I need to slow down.

Because I do that a lot. I do that. Yeah. Because I have to. I have to. But then when I do it, the quality of the work that comes through me when I do sit down and I’m able to work is like a whole week’s worth of work in a day. So, you know, we move differently. I think that’s really important for the times that we’re in to appreciate. You can’t sit down, especially. We’re going to talk about books. You know, you don’t sit down and write every day if you’re not in the correct energy because you’re not writing the energy or the frequency of what it is that you’re trying to express.

And sometimes, as you say detox, there’s something in your system that you have to clear out before you can reach the frequency that the book is at. So you can hear it. Yep. And there may be a new part of you that’s coming in that is pushing out old parts of you that it’s like there’s no room for them anymore. I want to talk about some of the fiction books, though, first, that are, like, my favorite. So I think what we’ll do is just go back and forth because there’s so many. We’re kind of. So as a child, I was a bookworm and I was reading all the science fiction.

I was reading things about dragons. I was reading. I read Urantia when I was a kid. Yeah. And I read Dune, and I got really irritated with Dune. And 30 pages from the end, I quit because I was like, I’m so in the second book or the first book? It was the first one. The first one, because I got that far. The second one, and I left it, too. I quit with that one as well. But I did read into the second one, so. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, as a kid and in our age group, we didn’t have cell phones to be addicted to.

And we read and it’s kind of like a vacation for your mind and it opens up your whole perspective. Well, I see it more as a portal or another dimension, you know, not necessarily a vacation, because people think that that’s taking a break. What it does is it stimulates you and opens you to thinking different thought, putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes. I think why Dune was difficult and inaccessible at times was because it was very thick with politics. And it didn’t actually go anywhere once it reached a certain point. It was all about the politics at that level.

And I just got bored of that. Yeah, I got really bored. I was like, how many pages have I read? And they’re not done yet, you know, so. But some things that are really, really long I absolutely love. So I love this series, Fantasy Tales. Yeah. So it’s all of the books and I haven’t even opened it yet, but I have them, you know. You read those when you were little? Yeah, I read these when I was young and I watch the movies, like a little like tuned into everything that’s happening in there. There’s so many clues because I think that most of our books, if it’s really good, it’s channeled, so it’s coming from your soul, you know, through you.

And you’re creating something beautiful for this plane of existence. And this one was amazing. So JRR Tolkien. Love him. Abby has a new book out called We Live Inside a Giant Russian Doll, which I absolutely love because we are so layered. And I’ve only read the introduction so far and it was so good. And I think John will actually read this book because he loves scary stuff and that already put it down. Yeah, he was too scared. Why did you write a horror? I said, because sometimes you have to, you know, Sometimes you have to. I mean, we’ve gone through a lot of scary stuff, you know, and I think it’s important that we.

We are aware of it. There’s lessons in there too, you know, to allow it to like, totally amp up your nervous system. I don’t think that’s probably a good idea. But I love suspense. And, you know, I used to watch all of the murder mystery shows, you know, the. I don’t remember all the names of them, but just love that stuff, you know. So what I’ve done with that book is used fiction to teach spiritual concepts. Yeah. So it’s one thing talking about demons, it’s another thing doing a non fiction book about demons and how to protect yourself.

But to really be in a character’s Shoes when a demon shows up for them and what they do and how they feel. That’s why it’s thrown into the genre of horror, because what else are you going to do? Psychological thriller, drama, There’s a lot of action in it, but when you connect to the. To the characters, and I take you on a journey through something and how it impacts all the different layers of our existence, people can learn and then they can go, oh, maybe I’ve had that experience too. And this is what I’m saying. It’s not necessarily a vacation.

It’s an opening to go, okay, well, maybe I need to get some help. You know, that would be nice if people, you know, could see that or forgive themselves, let’s say, for very erratic behavior that they are still hanging themselves on a hook for and say, well, maybe it wasn’t just me. Maybe there was more going on and I can just let that go now. Yeah. So. Yeah. And they’re not as hard to clear as they used to be. No, it used to be pretty hard to clear. So this is my children’s book, and it’s so cute.

The Land of Nola. And it’s all about how you create worlds. And I think, you know, I wrote this with my dad, and it was so much fun to do. Yeah. To do all the pictures and to talk about the dragon and how it’s basically a family. You know, it’s a family that knows how to create worlds, and they go and they talk to the sun. So everybody is a being in this book. And we wrote this book 20 years ago, so it, you know, it’s very relevant to now, which I was really happy about. I’m like, oh, you know, what’s interesting is those, like, mythologies that come through the conscious mind, the consciousness.

When you look at what is in mainstream bedtime stories for kids, you know, we need. We need people to be filling those spaces with good things like your book, so that kids can learn from a frequency without fear. Yeah. Because there shouldn’t be any fear. There was a little bit of conflict in the book, a little bit of stress, you know, between the. The different kinds of beings and how they were going to handle a certain situation. But nobody was frightened. They were just discussing and trying to figure it out. And I think that’s kind of the future of how things are really going to work over.

We’re still going to have challenges. We just don’t have to be working out of fear. Definitely. Exactly. So everybody knows this book, and I don’t really consider it non Fiction, but to some people it may be. So just kind of keeping that in mind that it may appear to be non fiction to some, but this is the old soul’s guide to the universe. And I really tried to pack in a lot of information in there about how we’re going forward and why we’re here. So. And I want to thank everybody for making it a bestseller. I really do appreciate that.

It was amazing. That’s the book that I, I wrote your forward because it’s a beautiful book and. Yeah, totally. So don’t forget to put the link below so people can get that book. Yes, it will be below. Yes. So tell us about your book, some of your books. You know, it’s really funny because we’re talking about earlier about being stuck and being tired. So I had a friend of mine do a clearing and today I was able to work on my life Mastery Practitioner School because we’re preparing the school school now for the next year of entry.

And I was doing a timeline with my, my, my, my partner who’s helping me. I’ve got two beautiful, amazing women helping me and we’re doing a timeline. So if they want to come in in October, when do we start talking about it and what do we do? And she said, well, they should all be reading your trilogy now because in this, this is the first one, you have the last one there. In this book, Marissa goes on a journey and learns that we are multi dimensional beings. And she’s. There’s the last one. Yes. So we have awakening to expansion and in the center is transformation.

You can see I kept her hair on all the covers. But the key part of this is she’s learning how to be a psychotherapist, but it’s not enough. So she’s learning how to do energy work and then she’s doing her psychotherapy client work and realizing I could help them more with the shamanic work, but I’m not allowed. So what do I do? And you know, so this is a journey that she goes on, which is kind of a mirror of my journey. Really. Yeah, it’s the book, it’s the trilogy is the books I needed to write before I can then write the book I wanted to write, which was the, the Russian Doll.

That’s the fun one I wanted to write. This is the journey of my life’s work really in therapy. And coming out the other end, it kind of goes from magical realism to more fictional, more magic based towards the end. But a lot of the experiences in there are experiences that I actually had. And there’s client sessions in that book that show how multi dimensional we are. And Marissa in the book makes mistakes and learns by her mistakes. And I think that’s really valuable as well. So that is actually on my reading list for my therapy school where fiction meets fact and reality.

And I think that’s the kind of world we want to live in now where we can weave together all the magical strands of who we are. You know, it’s, it’s the most effective way. And while I’m talking about this, I want to show this book. So this is Jung, Karl Gustav Jung and Memories, Dream Reflections for Me is his life’s memoir on how he discovered what he discovered. And for those that don’t know Jung, he’s the man that came up with the collective consciousness, which is where all of the consciousness pulls together like this beautiful self, see? And maybe we all dream the same dream or we can connect to each other through this.

And you know, and this is like the first piece of work followed by this. You know, I feel the work that I’m doing is taking his work to the next level because he did a lot of shamanic work, he did a lot of dream work, he did a lot of art. He was the one that, that, that defined archetypal energetic patterns and how they move through us. And the only way really we can work with archetypal energetic patterns is through story. So we’re shifting out of a very dry, clinical way of understanding the human psyche into a more magical open.

And I’m feeling there has to be the balance there because you’re talking about dragons. So I’ve been on Book Talk because I wanted to see who on, you know, get My Russian Doll out there on booktok. And there’s a new genre that’s just kind of developed over the last couple years that publishing houses are really freaking out about because they, first of all they weren’t sure that they liked it. Now they’re kind of sitting back and watching. And then they started to buy up all of the self published authors who are doing well. It’s called Romantasy.

Have you heard of Romantasy? So it’s romance in a fantasy setting. So the elf queen falls in love with the dragon. You know, it’s just this kind of magical. And then there’s the dark Romantasy and all of this type of stuff. And I think there’s a need for people right now for escapism. So they’re jumping into these magical worlds because they feel safe in there. But then there’s. Some of them are quite edgy, but it’s part of the evolution of our consciousness where we are longing for that transcendent magical connection to the world. So I think it’s really good.

It is good because we’re basically magical beings having a human experience right now. And even the human part of us is ready for like more fun. Yes, I would say so, whatever. As long as you’re not hurting anybody, have fun, you know, in whatever way it is. And don’t feel guilty about it either. Let go of that. We’re all learning and we’re all like shifting together right now. And I want to bring up this book, which is non fiction. And this is an amazing series, Anastasia and the Ringing Cedars. And there’s so much in here that is about the Awakening.

And when I first read this, it was recommended my. By my dad. And he would recommend things like Barbara Marciniac and the Law of One. Very intense books. Right. And he’s like, you have to read it. It’s so important. It’s so good. And I’m like, okay. So I read it and I have the series. But when you think about where that came from and you look at the world itself, then you can see there’s a lot of magic that’s going to come through a certain country that’s going to help the world as we go forward. Interesting.

Yeah, interesting. Yeah, I think a lot some people, you know, have written things that are ahead of their time. You were talking about Tolkien was really interesting to spend a lot of time in Ireland and a lot of the themes in the Lord of the Rings are taken from Irish mythology. Yeah. Which is. Yeah, which is where. So Ireland is full of deep magic and that’s why it was so suppressed. And I feel like the layers are being peeled off now from Ireland and it’s becoming happier, but it’s been so suppressed and so, I don’t know, like vilified in a way, like with the fairies being vilified and, you know, a lot of that magic being vilified, it’s changing.

And I think the collapse of the Catholic Church, I mean, I’m in a writer’s group and a lot of the writers, they’re all mostly Irish and a lot of them have been written writing about the Magdalene laundries, which is where women went when they were pregnant before marriage, and they were disgraced to the community and they threw them in the Magdalene laundry. So they literally did laundry and had their babies there and had their babies taken away from them. And one of my new friends who’s a writer is writing about this happening, but she’s combining it with tarot.

And everybody in the group is really interested to know, well, what’s the tarot? And how does this work with your story? And it’s got that little bit of spark and magic coming into it, you know, so it’s a lifting. It’s, it’s, it’s moving forward, I think. Yeah, yeah, that’s really good. So show us more of your books that you have. You have a pile of them. I have a pile of them, yeah. Well, speaking about being ahead of their time, like Anastasia, this book of mine is now 10 years old. It’s actually older because I wrote it a few years before it got published.

And I actually went up. This is Hay House, as you can see. And I went up to Hay House when I was at the London Book Fair. And they said, yeah, it’s difficult when you’re out of your time. And I’m like, oh, I got acknowledged. That was really interesting. So hopefully they’re going to do some kind of social media with me in the summertime. But this is here does what it says on the. On the title, teaches, you know, helps you how to be well. Yeah, so. So, yeah. And then I think I have that one when we talk about different ways to express ourselves, different ways to heal.

I made a coloring book too, with my daughter Megan. And the idea is that you read the invocation so you can open it on a random page. So here’s forgiveness. F is for forgiveness. So this is like a tuning fork and it tunes you in to forgiveness and then you hold the energy, turn the page, read the intention, and then color the entire thing while holding that energy. And it’s a healing session in itself. So really good. The body really appreciates, like, some sort of action. Yeah, it does, yeah. To be able to gain control of your mind is vital in these times because the mind will just go off and look for threats all the time and say, okay, we’re finished now we’re having, you know, so at the end of the day you can say, okay, we can rest now.

And if you don’t say that to your system, it keeps checking. And I think that’s why a lot of people aren’t able to unwind and they aren’t able to sleep properly because they’re still on, you know, very wired and on alert and things like that. So one way of helping you relax is through poetry. So I like Rumi. And I think as we move Away from Bibles and organized religion. Anyone who writes spiritual poetry can give you a way, you know, to connect to your soul. And this one’s quite, quite dense. So I won’t necessarily read anything from this, but I’ve written a poetry book, too.

Poetry book and short stories. Planting the Seeds. And it’s funny because I write so many different genres. People are like, she couldn’t possibly be any good at all of them, but I think they’re quite good. So they’re all good. Yeah. And you should be able to write whatever you want. I mean, think about all the fractals that are you. You know, all the different experiences. So we’re not coming at that at this for the first time ever. You know, one of my very favorite books which I wanted to share is this one, the Little Prince. I have the French one as well.

And, you know, just. Just the pictures, the original drawings by the artist. And some of it’s. It’s whimsical, but it’s beautiful. Yeah. Like, how many elephants would it take. Yes. To destroy a world and all the different worlds. And the rose that’s very, you know, egotistical. Rose. But now that I’m talking about poetry, I have to show you about the poetry book that I’m currently working on by our musical friend. Yes. It’s to make this accessible because he had it printed as a hardback and it was much bigger and it was too heavy to post to ship.

So I’m working on this now. We’ve gone. We spent like a whole day on it last week, just cleaning up the grammar and punctuation. And there’s three poems he wants me to add into it. And he’s going to rewrite the forward as well to make it, like a fresher version. So. Nice. Yeah, I think poetry is coming back. I mean, so with my dad, we’re. We’re doing the last book. That’s what just came out. So number 36 of his poetry books. Yeah. So. And that’s all of the others, too. I will publish all of the others, all the way back to the first one.

So he was somebody who was very shy about the public, but he spent all of his day writing. So from the time I was like a little kid, maybe like three, and was really aware he would be writing, and I would be staring at him, wondering when he was gonna read me a book or play with me or whatever, and he was wr. And he wouldn’t write all day long. But, you know, when you’re three, you’re very impatient and you, you want what you want right now. But I think the next thing I’ll put out is a novel and it’s an amazing, like, depiction of his own journey.

And I think that’s really going to help people. But poetry, I think is going to resurface in a really big way because it’s been really suppressed for a long time. And it’s such a great way to get a big feeling coming out of this much. You know, just a little tiny blurb is going to give you such a big activation in your body. And sometimes you won’t like this poem, but you’ll love this poem, but it really speaks to you. You know, I think poetry is a way to, to put words on something that someone else might not have the words for.

And then to read that the emotional, you know, release comes and going, oh, I’m not the only one that has felt this way. You know, it’s, it’s, it’s really good. And shared human experiences. Yeah, definitely. It’s gonna be amazing. He was prolific. And I do have a book that will probably come out that he and I wrote together and then another children’s book. There’s just so much. And then we also need to do the art. So just a massive amount of information was basically stored up for it to be released after he was gone. And I think he was very comfortable with that.

Yeah, he was ready for it to come out. You know, what’s really interesting is I met a guy called Victor and he’s from Wicklow, which is in south east of Ireland, and he has this fabulous garden and he’s just retired, so he used to be a Buddhist monk, but he writes books. And he wrote books and he published them himself. And he gave me one of his books. And it is so inaccessible you can’t read. It’s like heavy and thick and you’re trying for ages to read it and fall asleep after, you know, a page. And I, I sat with this and I thought, what’s going on here? And he’s a monk and he’s contemplative and he’s providing this sanctuary for people to come and contemplate, specifically, no children allowed, which means you can meditate and you’re not going to get torn away from your process by screaming kids, which is wonderful.

But these books didn’t seem to match that. And then I thought, well, he’s doing work in the ether by clearing and putting words on what it is that he’s clearing. And I think sometimes poetry does that too. So Some of these books do serve a purpose. Like. Like I said. Like, you know, when I said earlier about, you’re not doing anything, but you are. And so some people have the ability to bring this into form, and maybe they’re clearing the way for someone else then to channel something that’s a little bit more accessible. That’s the word to your mind.

So. So some of these great thinkers just can’t articulate their thoughts. But then once they’ve brought it down and put it into form, it’s here in some way shape, you know, and in. This is when you. You know, you just put it under your pillow and go sleep, and you wake up and you’ve absorbed it by osmosis. Yeah, I do that a lot. I get a new book, and I hold it, and then I’m done. Then I put down. I do that a lot. I’m like. And my husband is thinking, I’m a lunatic. He’s like, you got another book? Are you gonna open it? Don’t need to, you know, just put my hand on it and take all the goodness out and.

Yeah, but they are. They have frequency. They definitely do. I want to show you. This is their part of you. Yeah, that’s a beautiful book. Yeah. So when I come to a moment in my life, if I’m doubting, what’s the point of all of this? And I go to this, which. Can you see that here is a test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished, if you’re alive. It isn’t. There you go. So, okay. You know, I think I should frame this and put it on the wall somewhere. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think it’s one of the best books for learning how to manifest your own life, because you’re finding that feather.

And I think we’ve really forgotten to look for signs. Yeah, we’re starting to do that a lot more now. And that’s one of the things that I’m teaching is look for the signs, ask the questions, talk to your soul, find the best way for you, you know? And we’re really in that kind of magical discovery phase right now, I think, as humans. And it’s really a lot of fun to watch, and it’s. It’s really cool to watch people blossoming out, you know, and they’re like, oh, I feel so happy. I figured some of it out. And I let go of some of the things that I didn’t need to carry anymore.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. It’s really fun. So I do want to bring up one of the books that I talked about the other day, because it’s such a substantial book for emotion connected to the body. And I think, you know, once you see what the emotion is, then you can go and start working on it and start clearing it. And sometimes the body needs to be re patterned after that. If you have it like an illness or an ailment, then you look up the part of the body in the book. Is that how it works? Yeah.

So, like, if you had a backache or endometriosis, I just turned to looking up, what’s the emotion? Because you always want to heal the emotion first. Because the emotion is what happened when it pierced your energetic field. You know, like just like your layers on your book. You know, the energetic field is very similar to those nesting dolls. Yeah. You know, so when somebody gets through, like they say yelling is one of the hardest things. Like, if somebody’s yelling all the time, then they’re piercing through that field and causing damage. Okay. So thinking about that, when you want to go and yell at someone, it’s important.

And it’s like, it’s how loud it is too. Like, if someone’s screaming at you, then they’re getting into your energetic field, most likely. And you want to go heal that before it gets into the body because you have a hole that got created. And I know a lot of people that have had, like, their energetic field is basically like Swiss cheese. True. You know, so we don’t want that to be our life. No, no. But then finding. Finding books to support you when you’re going through something and you’re talking about asking for a sign reminds me of way back before I started any study in the spiritual modalities or any study around healing.

I was in the biggest bookshop in Ireland at that time, which was Eason’s on o’ Connell Street. So anyone who’s Irish will know what I’m talking about. And I was just like, I had been to a therapist. It didn’t work. I didn’t know where else to go. And I just stood there looking at the mind, body, spirit shelf. And I just said, please give me something. What can I do? You know, what book will help me? And it didn’t necessarily fall from the shelf, but this book had a glow around it. And that was a book about shamanic healing.

So when I put it in my hand, I didn’t want to take it out, so I had to just buy it. And then I carried it in my handbag for. For months. I would open it at a page do the exercise there. And it was directly relevant to what I was experiencing at the time. It’s amazing how energies can. Can do that when you’re active and you’re open to it. So that’s how I love to read reference books. Books that are, like, teaching you something. I guess they call them self help. I never start at the beginning.

Like I’m jumping around in there and I think, you know, if it’s a fiction book, that’s one thing. But life has been so exciting and so big the last several years. I haven’t read a lot of fiction really. And I haven’t really read a lot of reference books either. I just opened them up when it’s time. Yeah. And, you know, find the kernels that I need and then close them back up again. Now I know that books will become more and more prevalent as we go because screens will become less and less important. And we’re going to take time for ourselves.

And I don’t feel like we’re going to be as constantly engaged in busyness and we’re going to be together more, which means when you’re together more, you can actually go physically see someone, have such an energetic exchange, and then go and hang out by yourself and do what you want to do, which is kind of how I grew up. So I would get together with all the little hippie kids in our hippie community, and then I would just be alone and I would be painting, drawing, or reading. That makes sense. It really does. And what’s really interesting to me, because I had mentioned I’m on book talk now, which is just tik tok and it’s a hashtag book talk.

But people, you know, it. It looks bad when, look at me, I’m reading my Kindle. And here’s the, you know, no, people are buying the actual books and there’s, you know, they’ve got bookshelves behind them filled with books, actual books. And they want you to touch and feel. And you can’t bring a book to bed with you if it’s in a Kindle. It’s just not the same and you’re not getting that energy. So it’s nice to see the younger generations on there really caring about this. You know, it’s really good. Yeah. I think they’re getting back to more physical enjoyment and actually learning how to talk to each other too, which I feel like that was lost for a while.

They’re doing offline clubs where people get together and they don’t bring their phone and they sit and they Have a theme for the night so they can all get together and do knitting and crochet and talk or they do reading clubs now. Or you can go in and you can just sit in a room with other people and read and listening to. To music and it’s really good. Yeah. People just want. Because we’re taking in so much information all the time, it’s impossible. It’s really difficult to ground and, and just, it’s. The nervous system is just shot from all of this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s really time to take those breaks and I think it’s beautiful. I feel like the 30 year olds, the 20 and 30 year olds are like the parents of the newest generation that is going to everything that we’ll be learning from and they’re kind of getting back to the land, getting back to more simple practices. And I think that’s exactly what needs to happen. Yeah, that reminds me of Brave New World, which is another book that’s predicting all of this. So. Yeah, yeah. Very interesting, very interesting. Go to. It’s one of my favorite books growing up was called the Faraway Tree, the Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.

And it was about a tree that was a portal and a different world was at the top of the tree and the children would climb up the tree and never know what they were going to find and they’d go off exploring in the world and if they missed the evening, then they’d never get back and they get stuck in the world. So I was always reading Go, Go. You have to remember what time it is and you need to get back home for your dinner. But they’ve just made it into a movie and I’m really scared to watch it because I think part of the magic of these books is to be able to imagine them entirely yourself.

So I’ll give you a really good example of that. You know, anybody who read Harry Potter before any of the movies came out, you could, you know, imagine anybody as Harry Potter. But now everybody sees the pot, you know, the actor who played in the movie. So to, to allow people to use their creativity and their imagination. A book is, is a fantastic portal, I think for that. Yeah, yeah, it really is. And you never get the full feeling of the books into a movie. I’ve never seen a movie be as good as the book because it, I mean, also it would have to be so long.

It would have to be turned into a miniseries. Well, mine are very long, so. Yeah, yeah, you’d have to be like several seasons just for one Book. Yeah. So, I mean, basically you get to experience a whole different world when you go into a book and you are going through that portal, just like you said, and you’re re kind of creating your own world along with the author’s world. And if you think about it, it’s kind of like having an astral experience with the author of the book. Yeah. Really fun. Definitely. When they can’t. You can’t put the book down.

You’re trapped inside that book. That’s what I. I’ve actually spoken to a few people on Tick Tock because they’re like little Pacman consuming. And I’m like, it’s not about how many books you read, how many pages you read. It’s about the experience of reading. The distillation of what you’ve just, you know, added to your own consciousness and to make a gap in between. Instead of going straight into the next book and straight into the next book and straight. Because you need to process and allow the book to change you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Going straight in is basically like.

I don’t know what they call that. Binge watching. You know, binge watching a series, which, I mean, if it is a series and it’s the same energy and the same author, then I totally get it. You finish part one and you go straight into part two, and you want to keep going until you’ve read them all. That’s fine. Because it’s almost like reading the same book. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But otherwise, you need to absorb it a little bit, I think, too. You know, I couldn’t go from reading Barbara Marciniac and 10 minutes later, after I finished the book, going to the Law of One, like your brain is just.

Can’t do it. It’s too much, you know, and there’s information in there. There are books that I read when I was 25 that I’ve read again, you know, not that long ago. And there’s so much more in there that I didn’t see before. Yeah, yeah. Layers upon layers. It is. This was fun. This was a lot of fun. So we’ll have all the books below and, you know, that’s a challenge. Yeah, that will be a challenge. So. But I think it’s important. I think that having as many of the books as we can below is important.

And maybe you can send me a list, but I just feel like it’s really good to take some time for yourself and just absorb, especially if you’re stressed out, absorb yourself in something else. That’s beautiful. I’d like to invite the. Whoever’s watching this, you know, books that you love that we haven’t mentioned. Stick them in the comments. Yes. You know, tell us why, if a book jumped off a shelf for you, that changed your life like one did for me. Tell us, you know, share. Share the wealth and let’s get some conversations going. And you guys could even, you know, maybe do some book clubs and let everybody get together and read Honey’s book if you haven’t read it already.

And, you know, next month you can read. Yeah, what’s. What makes a book even more special is when you have people to talk to about it. And what did you think about this? And what did you think about that? So I like to go to Goodreads to see what people are saying about books that I’ve read or books that I’m thinking about reading. You know, they’re, you know, it’s good to. To get other people’s feedback. Yeah, it really is. And if you put a book down in the comments, you could be really inspiring somebody else. Yeah, totally.

You know, or us. I’m going to check the comments. I’m going to see. So if you. If there’s any books you think we should read, let us know. I’ll read it and Honey will just sleep with it. I’ll just hold it. Yes. And save it for later. Like, I have a massive amount of books that I plan on reading, and if I see one and I feel like, oh, that’s. That’s important, I’m going to snap that up. I do it. Because even if I’m not opening it right now, either I will open it or someone else will open it, and it will do someone a lot of good in the future.

Yeah. Yeah. This is great. Thanks for having me on. Thank you. Thank you. This was great. Love you guys. Bye.
