As someone who started this healing journey unsure of where to begin or what steps to take, I knew I needed to change how I showed up in my daily life, as continuing as I was would not have been sustainable. Becoming a cycle breaker and choosing to break free from old patterns was a transformative decision. Connecting with my breath became a crucial part of understanding who I am and finding freedom. I was uncertain about which books to read, where to find additional support, or how to delve deeper into the emotional patterns I was uncovering. Through this process, I've curated a list of top recommended reads that have significantly helped me on my healing journey.
• The Myth of Normal - Gabor Maté
• It Didn't Start with You - Mark Wolynn
• Generational Cycles - Dr. Mariel
• Awaken Your Life Purpose - Eckhart Tolle
I hope these resources will be valuable to you as well!
