TOP 3 LIFE-CHANGING BOOKS

THE UNTETHERED SOUL

by Michael A. Singer

This book rocket launched my understanding of the conscious/subconscious, and offered valuable tools for navigating them to work with, not against, yourself. It was a paradigm shifter for me.

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE

by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk

It truly is, as one expert remarks, “essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.”

I’ve been a long-time user and believer in the efficacy of sound-frequency therapy, and Soaak blew my previous experiences out of the water. I had chronic and significant wrist pain and weakness for several years. After seeing numerous specialists (who recommended surgery) and trying multiple rounds of physical therapy to no avail, I played the 20-minute “pain” frequency ONCE - ONCE!! - and my wrists immediately felt like new, and have ever since. Pain completely gone, strength totally restored. It defies belief.

I use Soaak frequencies for head-to-toe health. They are science backed and clinically proven to help you with almost anything: hormone health, immunity, anxiety, sleep, exercise, focus, energy, etc. Though it does cost, it’s FSA and HSA approved, and they offer a free trial to see if you like it (my wrist “miracle” aside, results do require consistency, so don’t bail if you don’t instantly feel a difference).

BRAIDING SWEETGRASS: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Masterfully blending Indigenous intelligence and scientific insight, it shows how both are not only valid and necessary, but also harmonious.

Connection is the main driver behind the Nativist brand, and this demonstrates how we can re-connect to the land (which is crucial for individual health, collective health, and environmental health).

FAVORITE APPS

For me, the Kindle mobile app is both an angel and a devil. It’s divine because I can continue my lifelong habit of reading at any and every opportunity (without the inconvenience of lugging a physical book around), and it’s naughty because I can continue my lifelong habit of reading at any and every opportunity (without the inconvenience of lugging a physical book around). Read responsibly.
