Spiritual Summer Reading List

As summer sizzles on, we discover that our energy is high and light is all around us – giving us the perfect opportunity to relax, absorb information and better ourselves. There’s nothing like a wise, entertaining book by a writer who studies and understands love and relationships to mull over, relax with and learn from. Here are our suggestions on what to read.

We asked Vedic astologer and relationship coach Carol Allen to give us a list of insightful reads for your emotional and spiritual enjoyment. “There are many other wonderful ones in the world, but these are the authors I have personally learned the most from, and am so grateful for,” reports Allen. Just reading the list is inspiring!
