In the Sounds True workplace, we’re practically swimming in spiritual books, CDs, and DVDs. Many of us feel like we’ve “seen and heard it all.” From this ocean of goodness, what do we personally, truly like? What actually inspires us and resonates with us at the deepest level? Have a look at some of the programs that have made the greatest impact on our lives.
Kristie Recommends:
The Mind-Body Code
Kristie M.
Marketing Manager
“Dr. Martinez offers so many practical tools and insights for healing, empowerment, and living daily life in relation to others. I would recommend this program to anyone, especially those who express their personalities through their bodies—athletes, energy workers, and people with physically demanding jobs.”
Haven Recommends:
Living as a River
Haven I.
Book Editor
“Reading Bodhipaksa’s writing is often like reading poetry. It is simply a beautiful experience. As I was reading, I felt like I was dissolving—and when finished I felt a serenity as if I’d spent a whole weekend in meditation. And with this deep calm, I found myself much more able to weather the surprises and challenges in life.”
Jennifer Recommends:
Transform Your Life Through Handwriting
Jennifer C.
Acquisitions Editor
“I picked a letter that embodied a quality I wanted to express in my life, and changed the way I wrote it according to Vimala’s 40-day program. Since I began, I have become more healthy, fit, and connected to my creativity and spiritual practice. Is it all because I changed my handwriting? Well, I don’t intend to go back to writing the way I did before!”
Chantal Recommends:
The Way of the Superior Man
Chantal P.
Vice President of Sales and Marketing
“It’s a little weird for this to be one of my favorites, since I am a woman, and this is geared towards men, right? Yet I have learned more about the power of my femininity in this book than anywhere else. Deida’s concepts have been invaluable in my relationship with my husband, and also when dealing with masculine and feminine energy in the world.”
Grayson Recommends:
You're It!
Grayson T.
Copywriter
“To me, Alan Watts is the epitome of a great teacher. There are a lot of teachings that are present in most of the wisdom traditions, but when I listen to Watts, I actually get them at a deep level. And the most important one for me is how we can cherish and revere life by not taking it so seriously.”
Rebecca Recommends:
Into Light
Rebecca C.
Executive Assistant to Tami Simon
“As a yogi who loves to flow with music in my asana practice, I never go on a yoga journey without Deva Premal. It never ceases to amaze me how deeply I can go into my own yoga practice with her music. She captures the sacredness of both the Sanskrit language and the power of using one’s voice as an instrument.”
Trista Recommends:
The Good Life of Helen Nearing
Trista R.
Customer Service and Human Resources Manager
“Oh what a fantastic program! My biggest takeaway is to remember that simple living is a beautiful way to live. I certainly try to keep that in mind when I think that food from my favorite restaurant sounds better than the salad I could put together with veggies from my own garden. This program inspires me!”
Wendy Recommends:
Transforming Your Relationship with Money
Wendy A.
Purchasing Manager
“I think this program should be called ‘How to Recession-Proof Your Wallet and Improve Your Personal Finances!’ A short time after listening, I was able to create a budget and eliminate all my debt except for the mortgage—without ever feeling deprived of the things I really valued and wanted.”
Jaime Recommends:
ChiRunning
Jaime S.
Associate Editor/Contracts Manager
“Danny Dreyer’s amazing program combines t’ai chi principles with running and focuses on the meditative aspects of the sport. Before I began incorporating ChiRunning movement principles, I suffered from tremendous knee pain during and after long runs. Now I run half marathons with no knee pain whatsoever.”
Shelly Recommends:
What to Do When You Can't Decide
Shelly R.
Associate Director of Trade Marketing and Publicity
“I’ve had a pendulum for years but since reading Meg’s book, I have used my pendulum with a fresh perspective. The chits are new to me, so I was really curious to find out how they work. Now I’m hooked. It’s fun, and I’m surprised to see that now I’m learning to trust my intuition even before I ask the question!”
Kristin Recommends:
Deep Calm
Kristin C.
Marketing Specialist
“I’ve witnessed this beautiful collection of music take an inconsolable infant from total hysteria to REM sleep in less than 10 minutes. True story! I often play this CD when I need a little “time out” from the often consuming dramas of life. Each and every time, it leaves me feeling grounded and rejuvenated.”
Alex Recommends:
Living Without Stress or Fear
Alex G.
Digital and Direct Marketing Director
“Listening to Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen master, I can believe that such a life is actually attainable. He teaches a number of practical methods—including walking meditation, four-pebble meditation, mindful breathing—for staying in the moment. His lovely, compassionate voice is a lotus-covered path to mindfulness.”
Jay Recommends:
The Way of the Superior Man: The Teaching Sessions
Jay U.
Product Manager
“I am so inspired by a question posed in this program: What is the fullest way for me to live? The habit of remembering my purpose and making choices accordingly provides both focus and freedom in my daily life. When I listen to this program, I get totally psyched to engage the world with all the love and consciousness within me.”
Theresa Recommends:
The Energy Cure
Theresa F.
Managing Director
“A fascinating portrayal of the challenges of proving the benefits of energy healing. I was intrigued by the incredible results of his experiments on healing breast cancer in mice and their parallels to my own experience as an energy healer. I recommend this book to energy workers and to anyone considering energy healing techniques.”
