I love Kurzgesagt on YouTube. Their whole style is great and they explain things so well. Big concepts that a lot of people struggle to understand, and they can break it down nicely.
Re: people whose brains won't shut up and they struggle to meditate, when I was younger I was always like, yeah, I can't meditate for that reason ...because the only type of meditation I had ever heard of was the "silence your mind" type. But ya know what, there are different ways to meditate such as visualization and mantras and so forth, and it turns out I had actually been doing visualization meditation since childhood but I just never called it that. And you could call praying the rosary a mantra meditation (I too was raised Catholic). So I always tell people to try different ways to meditate if they struggle with one. There's walking meditation too, if sitting still is the issue!
Thanks Phoenix, great point lots of ways to meditate! I never thought of saying the rosary as a mantra meditation, but of course it's exactly the same as doing japa on mala beads.
The whole idea that you must "silence your mind" is putting the cart in front of the horse. Rather that silencing the mind, you do meditation and a result is that eventually your mind is silenced. And you do something else with your mind, be it visualization, or following the breath (which I do), or saying mantras. Then by merging into that object of attention, your mind naturally calms.
What a beautiful share! I begun my spiritual journey 2 years ago, and it has been such a wonderful experience. I had many problems with life, there was a time that I didn't even liked to be in this world. But I found that I was going with it all by the wrong perspectives. Life can be tough if you don't find that we are all the same, that the nature and life is pure abundance and we can connect to this. I'm a begginer in the journey, but medidation and Breathwork made me cry a lot yet.
Thank you for you post, I'm gonna read these books for sure.
My best wishes to you all!
Yes, so true, pure abundance! My favorite perspective: "The Universe is working for us, not against us".
I'm so happy to hear that you are on a much lighter path than before. I also have had some amazing breathwork experiences, seeing how powerful I am when I would typically see myself as weak.
Enjoy the books, and if you feel called, drop a comment to say what you thought of them!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful ways, in which you can enhance your spiritual journey. It is something that is different for us all, so hearing other people's experiences gives us some ideas in which we can begin our own. I would love if you could share some other links for the books besides amazon, as there are a few of us that do not support that corporation.

Thank you very much for sharing your journey with us and also mentioning the resources that have opened this path for you.
I have yet to read the complete series of books of Conversations with God, I read the first one many years ago and the truth is that now I don't remember it very well, although I remember that in some very hard circumstances that the author had to go through such as living as a beggar led him to this encounter with God, something that I found really beautiful.
Thank you for being part of this initiative, blessings.

Yes, the author has lived quite the life, with many wives and many challenges. Might be worth reading again if you're so inspired!
As I'm inspired by all the lovely comments on this post to write more :)
Excellent!!! In this Community you can be inspired by many topics to share.
