The post 5 Best Chakra Books and Journals appeared first on Dwell in Magic®.

I’ve spent countless hours devouring books that have completely changed how I see the world—some through physical copies and others through audiobooks (which I love for multitasking while showering or doing chores).

In this post, I’m sharing my top book recommendations for expanding your mind, plus insights on why reading is so powerful for growth. Whether you’re looking for modern classics, thought-provoking essays, or mind-blowing books that challenge everything you thought you knew, you’ll find something here to spark your curiosity.

What Are Some Books That Expand Your Mind?

I saw this question on Quora and thought it was great.

When you understand that you are a creator who can shift your own reality with your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, you quickly realize how powerful it is to feed your mind with content that reinforces this truth continuously.

Reading a lot of books (the kind that expands your mind and broadens your scope of reality) shifts your life in a way that most people think only happens to the "lucky" or "elite.

But what most people don't understand is that the lucky and elite are the lucky and elite because somewhere along the line, whether it was them or the person who raised them, someone believed they were lucky and/or elite.

Books that remind you of how powerful you are naturally keep you in an uplifted, higher-vibrational state. They help you step back from everything and create rather than react, to see not only yourself but everyone else as powerful, loving, eternal beings walking around here on earth.

You are just automatically expanded in your perception of life.

If you're looking for books that will expand your mind, challenge your thinking, expand your awareness, and leave you forever changed, here are some of the most highly recommended ones:

1. Journey of Souls – Michael Newton, Ph.D.

Why it’s mind-expanding: Explores life between lives and the journey of the soul beyond physical existence.

Written by a hypnotherapist who accidentally regressed clients into the afterlife, this book compiles thousands of case studies from people of different backgrounds who all described the same spiritual experiences.

If you’ve ever wondered about past lives, reincarnation, and the unseen dimensions of existence, this book is an absolute must-read.

2. Reality Unveiled – Ziad Masri

Why it’s mind-expanding: Combines scientific research with ancient wisdom to uncover the hidden nature of reality.

This book explores everything from quantum physics and the power of consciousness to past lives and extraterrestrial intelligence. It’s well-researched and provides eye-opening insights into the nature of existence.

3. The Power of Now – Eckhart Tolle

Why it’s mind-expanding: Teaches the art of living in the present moment for profound inner peace.

This modern classic is one of the most-read books in recent years for a reason. It dismantles the illusion of the mind and helps you step into pure awareness.

4. Mind to Matter – Dawson Church, Ph.D.

Why it’s mind-expanding: Shows the science behind how your thoughts physically shape reality.

If you’re interested in manifestation, quantum physics, and the mind-body connection, this book will blow your mind. It’s packed with peer-reviewed studies and real-world examples of how our beliefs and emotions impact the material world.

5. The Convoluted Universe – Dolores Cannon

Why it’s mind-expanding: Delves into parallel realities, extraterrestrial life, and the ancient secrets of our world.

Dolores Cannon was a hypnotherapist who spent decades compiling information from clients under deep hypnosis. The result? Some of the most astonishing insights into time, space, and consciousness ever published.

Does Reading Books Help Your Mind?

Absolutely—reading is one of the most powerful ways to expand your mind, elevate your consciousness, and become a better person. Here’s why:

1. Reading Strengthens Neural Pathways

Every time you read, your brain is forming new connections. Books stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and cognitive flexibility, allowing you to process information in deeper, more meaningful ways.

2. Books Shift Your Perspective

Reading different viewpoints expands your awareness and challenges limiting beliefs. The best books take you beyond what you already know, opening doors to new ideas and insights.

3. Reading Increases Clarity and Focus

With the constant noise of social media and instant gratification, our ability to focus has been declining in recent years. Reading helps retrain the brain for deep focus and critical thinking, leading to greater clarity in life.

4. Books Connect You to Something Greater

Certain books awaken something deep inside—a remembrance of who you truly are beyond societal conditioning. Whether it’s through philosophy, science, or spirituality, books offer timeless wisdom that helps you tap into your highest self.

What Is the Most-Read Book in the World?

The most-read book of all time is the Bible, with billions of copies distributed worldwide. However, if we look at secular books, some of the most widely read include:

• A Brief History of Humankind (Sapiens) – Yuval Noah Harari
• The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
• 1984 – George Orwell
• To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
• The Lord of the Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien

These books have stood the test of time, influencing culture, philosophy, and even how we perceive reality.

How to Gain Knowledge by Reading Books

Reading isn't just about consuming words—it’s about actively engaging with ideas. Here are some tips to make the most of your reading experience:

1. Choose Books That Challenge You

The best books are the ones that make you question everything. Look for books that introduce new perspectives, philosophical ideas, or scientific discoveries that expand your thinking.

2. Take Notes & Reflect

Highlight passages that resonate with you and journal about the insights you gain. Engaging with a book on a deeper level helps solidify knowledge and personal growth.

3. Read Across Different Genres

Don’t limit yourself to one genre! Read classics, modern classics, essays, philosophy, science, and spirituality—each offers unique wisdom.

4. Re-read Books That Speak to Your Soul

Some books reveal new layers of wisdom each time you read them. The Power of Now, for example, is a book that you can read multiple times and still gain fresh insights.

5. Apply What You Learn

Books are most powerful when their lessons are applied to real life. Whether it’s practicing mindfulness from a spiritual book or implementing success strategies from a business book, applying knowledge turns information into transformation.

Final Thoughts: The Journey Never Ends

Books are portals to infinite wisdom. The more you read, the more you expand—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

If you’re looking for books to expand your mind, start with the recommendations in this post and see where they lead you. Each book will unlock new dimensions of understanding and bring you closer to your true potential.

The post Books to Expand Your Mind: The Best Reads for a Limitless Perspective appeared first on Dwell in Magic®.

In today's blog post, I'm sharing the best meditation books that you can use in your own personal daily self-care routine to help you reset, be inspired and gain a higher perspective.

Daily meditation books

For me, self-care is all about connecting with the universe, healing, re-centering, and lifting my perspective higher. So that means daily meditation books are a huge component to my daily routine.

Meditation books are perfect because they're short but powerful reads that help you to connect and get into a higher vibration before your day begins, which causes a beautiful ripple effect of manifestations and a feeling of being grounded the rest of the day.

The following books are ones that I recommend if you'd like to incorporate a good meditation book into your daily self-care routine:

1. Simple Abundance

This was my first meditation book and it took me on such a magical journey. One of my most popular blog posts came from a suggestion in this book, A Sacred Self-Care Birthday Ritual. And that birthday ritual truly shifted something within me, a self-love affair of sorts.

This book really changed me and I highly recommend it.

2. Journey to the Heart

This is a beautiful meditation book with great though-provoking messages. I love the stories and perspective's Melody shares and my favorite part is always her reflective questions at the end. They always make for good journal prompts.

I would have to say that this book ranks in my top two favorite meditation books.

3. A Course in Miracles

I actually bought this book in 2016 but didn't really understand it, so I didn't open it again. Fast forward to 2019 when I developed anxiety due to numerous life changes. I began working with a healer and she told me to try this book.

Essentially, this book is rewiring your mind to realize that the world you see is an illusion. It has a 365 daily lessons and they are very powerful. It does use names like God and Jesus, but it actually isn't a religious book at all.

I enjoyed using this Youtube playlist of all the lessons (each one is about 7 minutes long) to listen to after reading each lesson. She does a great job of rewording everything and making it more relatable.

A Course in Miracles has become one of my favorite meditation books. This book in combination with EFT tapping dropped my anxiety levels significantly. And if you love Abraham Hicks, you'll love this meditation book.

4. Romancing the Ordinary

Another great book from the author of Simple Abundance. What I like about this one in particular is that even though it's not set up specifically to be a daily book, it's laid out like one with short reflections and this one is all about enjoying the sensual experience of life.

I love the way she writes about getting in touch with our intuition and fully engaging our physical senses.

5. Until Today

While I will admit I haven't gone through this book very much, I do think it's a great choice for a meditation book. It focuses on spiritual growth filled with a-ha moments and powerful affirmations.

But what I like most is that the author is authentic and truly devoted to her own development.

6. The Book of Awakening

Mark Nepo, the author of this meditation book, has a very deep and profound perspective on life which I think is due to the fact that he experienced cancer.

I love the way he puts things and the quotes he shares along with each daily message. This book is usually in my morning rotation.

7. Heart Thoughts

Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL book. Please get this book for your heart! It is so uplifting and healing. It's not technically a daily book but I use it like one.

There are lots of topics covered, like "abundance", "accidents", "family", "guilt", "deserving," and for each one there's a quote on one side and the other side looks like the photo above, with an affirmation and then a short message.

There's also a new card deck companion that's like the book and it would also be perfect for pulling a card every morning and meditating on the message.

8. You Can Heal Your Life Book + Workbook

This book and workbook combo also aren't daily books, but I had to add them to this list just because I did use them in my daily self-care routine as part of my healing at one point in my life.

The book is really good, and the workbook gave me one of the biggest healing breakthroughs I've ever had. I still remember the day because I was sitting in Kohl's parking lot, eating In-N-Out while filling in the workbook, and all of the sudden hot tears were streaming down my face and I felt broke open in the best way possible.

So while this isn't a daily meditation book, I think it could be used as one, especially the workbook.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this article and found something to take away with you.

The post 7 Daily Meditation Books for Your Self-Care Routine appeared first on Dwell in Magic®.

In this blog post, I'm sharing my all-time favorite books on the law of attraction and manifesting. These are the ones that you can highlight to read over and over again because they are timeless classics.

The best law of attraction books

I spend most of my free time reading. There is nothing better than a good book on the law of attraction that is able to easily translate how to put it into practice. A book that gets you excited for life.

Law of attraction books changed my life 8 years ago. I was at financial rock bottom and heard about the law of attraction for the first time. I honestly had nothing to lose so I put it into practice and still to this day can't believe how quickly my life changed. It took 3 months for everything to completely turn around and it became better than it ever had before that point.

People say that, I know. Usually it comes from someone trying to sell you something. I'm not trying to sell you anything...I just wish I had been told about the law of attraction by someone long before I found out at 28. I've been putting it into practice ever since.

The books below are some of my all-time favorites on the topics of manifesting and the law of attraction. They're easy to understand and they get me excited every time I read them.

1. Infinite Possibilities

The Art of Living Your Dreams

My bible. Mike Dooley has such a fun, inspiring way of suggesting how to achieve magical things. He explains life in such a way that really feels right to me, and I love that he says you'll know the truth because of the way it makes you feel.

This is my go-to book just to re-read through my highlighted sections and be instantly encouraged to make things happen! Also, he is the author behind "Notes From The Universe", a daily email that is sent out every morning for a dose of inspiration and encouragement. It's my hands-down favorite message to get every morning.

2. E-Squared

Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

The skeptic in me devoured this book. The coolest things will happen when you test out her experiments and will give you chills. She proves we truly are the creators of what we see and experience.

And honestly the experiments were fun, but just her writing and way of explaining things throughout the book was my favorite part. This is also another book that I just re-read for the reminder that I live in a magical universe where anything can happen if I want it to.

3. Neville Goddard: The Complete Reader

This is a compilation of the top 10 spiritual classics by Neville Goddard and it is life-changing. He was one of the pioneering voices for the idea that your mind creates your reality.

What I really love about Neville is the way he takes old spiritual scripture from the Bible and translates what it really meant. Everything in the Bible is a metaphor and teaches you how to use the power of your mind to manifest your experiences.

His books are the kind that you can read over and over again and always gain something you didn't before. Very deep, very profound–definitely a must-have author for your manifesting books collection.

4. The Magic

This book has me on cloud nine every time I read it. You can't help but feel so in love with your life and everyone around you while reading this book. I've read her other books, The Secret and The Power, and those are great too, but she really hit the nail on the head with this one.

This book explains the very powerful effect of being grateful and gives you a task to complete every day for 28 days. Magical things happen when you read this book, and you can read my blog post here if you want to know why gratitude is the most powerful manifesting tool.

5. The Map

To Our Responsive Universe, Where Dreams Really Do Come True

This book is great because Boni really focuses on explaining the things that hold us back from our dreams; self-sabotaging behaviors like self-limiting beliefs, jealousy, insecurity, doubt, etc.

I feel like her book was almost like a workbook, and I really discovered a lot of pushed away feelings and beliefs I'd been harboring for years, even decades. She has a very gentle way of approaching the law of attraction that I resonated with.

6. Wishes Fulfilled

Mastering the Art of Manifesting

This is probably my most recent and most favorite of all time book on manifesting. This was my first book by Dr. Wayne Dyer and I can't believe it's taken me this long to read one. He goes into such clear and concise detail about the power of our subconscious minds and shares the way he personally trains his subconscious to manifest his reality.

If I had to recommend you read any book on manifesting, it would be this one.

7. The Abundance Book

I actually just finished reading this book and it immediately helped me to begin manifesting more financial abundance. The way he painted the picture of how our awareness on Source is our natural stream of abundance just totally helped me GET IT.

This book is one of those very short but powerful reads, and it also comes with a free audio that I listened to and think would be good to listen to anytime you're doing busy work like cleaning or driving.

8. Think and Grow Rich

You can never read this book too many times, it's a powerful one. I always find this one very inspirational for manifesting anything I want because he goes into such detail about how it all works. I highly recommend getting this in it's audio version and listening to it every day to help reset your subconscious beliefs around money and manifesting.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article. If you have a favorite book on the law of attraction or manifesting, leave it below in the comments for myself and others reading. I'm always excited to find a new book I haven't read yet.

The post The Best Law of Attraction Books That Have Changed My Life appeared first on Dwell in Magic®.

My life has completely changed thanks to the books I've read over the last ten years. In this blog post, I'm sharing the best spiritual books that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to radically alter their lives.

What is the best spiritual book?

There is not one "ultimate" spiritual book out there. There are a ton, thankfully! With that being said, I'm going to share the ones that have absolutely blown my mind.

A good spiritual book will not only expand your mind but will also do an excellent job of conveying just how powerful you truly are and how much your life can change with the information given in the book.

To manifest change, our minds and beliefs have to be on board. The spiritual books below are on this list not only because they expand your consciousness, but also because they do a damn good job at helping to shift your beliefs.

These are my must-read, all-time favorite spiritual books! (In no particular order).

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay

I've said it before in a million other blog posts and I'll say it again–this book did more for me than any therapist ever did!

This book really touches on all things spiritual, from mindset to self-love. Her simple approach also makes everything she teaches so easy to implement. We don't need to berate ourselves or feel like shit because of our behaviors or beliefs; we can just simply choose to change them, starting now.

I also really recommend the workbook that helps you go even deeper into your own self-limiting beliefs. Just the very act of connecting past experiences with current beliefs is enough to eradicate them.

Dying to be Me by Anita Moorjani

This was a recent book I read that caused me to cry with joy and just pure relief.

Anita manifested cancer within her body and had tumors the size of lemons throughout. She had a near-death experience and when she chose to come back into her body, she knew she had the power to choose wellness again.

Her cancer melted away within days and weeks. The first half of her book is about her life and how she was always trying to please others while feeling bad about who she was. The second half of the book is about her near-death experience, the revelation she had from it, and her new take on life.

It is hands down a book that everyone should read.

Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley

This book was one of the first that I read when I learned about the law of attraction and it was a total game-changer for me.

Mike has such a fun, simple way of playing with the law of attraction, and his motto, which you might've heard before in The Secret, is thoughts become things.

This is one of those books that I've highlighted all over and that I frequently re-read just for the inspiration it provides me. His easy manifesting technique is what changed my whole life six years ago!

Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain

If you want to change your life quickly, you need to know about visualization.

Pretty much all of the books on this speak on the power of visualization, but this book goes into detail about what it is, how it works, and how to do it.

The reason why I called this blog Dwell in Magic is because we can choose what we want to experience, play it in our mind's eye daily, and watch it come into physical form. You can't tell me that's not magic!

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

This book is a classic written in 1910, and I'm pretty sure most entrepreneurs and business people out there have heard of it!

While the title may seem vain or shallow (which wanting to be rich is neither of those things) this book is so powerful because it explains the law of attraction without using the words "the law of attraction."

This is also one of those books that is great on Audible. I have both versions of the book because while I'm cleaning or driving, I love to just listen to it as a way to keep my mindset and vibration high.

Wishes Fulfilled by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Another amazing book that I filled with highlights and earmarks and recommend to everyone. This book is unique in that he does an excellent job of explaining our God power and his processes for manifesting the desires we hold.

I also love how he talks about our soul's true nature and what it has come here to do. We are so much more than we think we are.

The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer

If you have ever struggled with anxiety, fear or simply being overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions, you need to read this book.

This book is about the voice in our heads that puts us down, makes us scared, stress us out, etc, and how to transcend this voice so that we become an observer of the voice rather than a slave to it.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Like the previous book, this very popular book by Eckhart Tolle is about transcending the mind and realizing that all of our power is in the NOW. Not the past and not the future.

Most of us feel negative emotions because of things that either happened in the past or things we fear will happen in the future. This book brings you into the power of now because that's all there ever is and is the most powerful point to manifest from.

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant

This highly rated, self-published book by Kamal is one of the most simple, straightforward books you'll probably ever read on self-love.

Self-love can feel so difficult to obtain, but this short book explains that it's just a matter of a few easy changes in the way you view, think, and speak about yourself.

Creating self-love doesn't have to be this huge undertaking–it can be a simple pivot.

The Abundance Book by John Randolph

This book, while not having thousands of reviews on Amazon, is one of those secret treasures you find and wonder why most people don't know about it.

What I love most about this book is that John reminds you over and over that your source of abundance is NOT from mere mortals, not from money or jobs or any of the other common things you feel dependent on.

Your supply is ALWAYS from the Universe. He explains your true nature and where your true power lies, which is never in earthly things that can be taken away.

Neville Goddard books

I'm putting "Neville Goddard books" because any book you read by this author is a gem. The link I have here is the collection that I purchased because it has all of his most popular works included in it.

Similar to older works from the turn of the century, he explains the law of attraction without using those words and how to manifest anything you desire.

I always enjoy these more "classic" spiritual books because their wording is so simple and to the point. Their main message is "You don't have to understand it for it to work, you just need to trust that it will."

I hope you enjoyed this list of my favorite spiritual books. You can check out this post for my favorite daily self-care books, and this one for my favorite books specifically on the law of attraction.
