How fortunate we are to be living in what some call ‘the information age’. We have television, the internet, magazines, newspapers, print books, ebooks, audiobooks, in-person lectures and virtual zoom calls for self-education. We can take charge of our own health and learn about practices that may lengthen not just our lifespan, but our health span.
When I was young I haunted bookstores and libraries, bringing home stacks of books every week. I read books by Adelle Davis, a pioneer in the nutrition movement, while still in my teens. I also read science fiction books, philosophy books and religious books. All that reading affected my eyesight…I was very nearsighted and wore thick glasses from elementary school on. In my early 60s I developed cataracts, and in the years before my surgery, I had more and more trouble reading, so I switched to audio books and internet video courses.
My Favorite Educational Author
My favorite author right now is Dr. Joe Dispenza. His first book Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind was a real eye opener when I first read it. His second book, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One, is a ‘how to’ manual for evolving your brain.
Dr. Joe started doing seminars more than 15 years ago. Thousands of people from around the world flock to his events and YouTube has hundreds of testimonials from people who attended and changed their lives. His two more recent books, You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter, and Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon further develop his concepts and provide scientific proof.
The first book is available in Kindle, paperback or hardcover. The other three are also available as audiobooks on Audible.
Audible membership on Amazon for those not yet a member, gives you a free trial period with 2 free audiobooks to keep, even if you cancel. It’s also a great way to get the meditations that accompany the books.
You can also learn about Dr. Joe Dispenza by signing up for a free trial of Gaia TV. His Rewired video series is an excellent summary of the concepts in his books.
I am registered to attend a Joe Dispenza meditation retreat in early December. I look forward to sharing what promises to be a life-changing experience!
