Clear your clutter with Feng Shui
I would like to live in a minimalist space, but somehow things tend to accumulate, so this book is quite helpful in understanding the reasons behind clutter and how to solve them. There is also a useful website, and a nice bagua diagram. Have fun with your clearing up.
The Fine Arts of Relaxation, Concentration & Meditation
This book provides a lot of different techniques to help us relax, concentrate and meditate. There are beautiful visualizations that are almost poetic and magical. I liked one where you sit comfortably or lie down ad visualize a ball of light sitting on your stomach and then you throw this ball of light into space and watch it go up for miles, light years. When you lose concentration you put another ball onto your stomach and start again in a different direction until you have a ring of balls at the edges of the universe and your mind will be equally expanded. There are also b&w photos of lotus plants, monks, the sky that you can look at and elaborate on with your fantasy.

Automatic Wealth III - The Attractor Factor
"For as a man thinketh in his subconscious mind, so is he". This book is about the infinite power of the subconscious mind and it made a lot of pennies drop for me in respect of understanding God and the Scriptures from a completely new prospective, i.e. from within. As a non religious person I was surprised to find possible and rewarding to learn how to pray. It's a different prayer to the kind I was taught as a kid. First you go into a relaxed semi-hypnotic mood and then you entrust your subconscious mind, and the infinite intelligence, with bringing upon you harmony and the solution to the problem at hand or the materialising of one's desires. Or so I understand it. It's a way of choosing a positive mental state at the beginning and end of the day, nurturing good thoughts and energy and starving negative feelings, such as fear, anxiety, envy. In other words, this book doesn't say anything new, it just says it in a way that has reached me better than other similar books.
