Are you looking for a spiritual book or two that will help you with your spiritual awakening? If so, then these two are highly recommended. I read both of these books during a difficult time in my life. I searched for answers on how to better deal with what was happening and see things differently. Mostly to get through a difficult time to better understand what I was feeling and going through.
Wishes Fulfilled Mastering the Art of Manifesting by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
I’ve never met a book I didn’t like by Wayne Dyer. There have been times when I wasn’t ready to receive a spiritual book I was reading but not necessarily one I didn’t like. This book is one that I found to be most transformative. If you’ve read books about manifesting and are struggling with it or not sure how to do it, so it works. Then this book is for you.
Not only does Wayne Dyer go into great detail about the art of manifesting, but he also goes into how to feel internally before you can manifest.
No, this is not a strict how-to manifest book. I’ve read plenty, and this is so much more. I felt like this was what I was missing in trying to manifest. Other sources sometimes gloss over the actual how-to technicalities that I want to learn about. This book does not.
This is a step-by-step on how to get yourself into the mental state of creating your own future. Connecting with your higher self and letting go of your old self. And not allowing your ego to keep you from your wishes being fulfilled. Real work goes into this on your part.
You’ll learn about the 5 foundations for creating your wishes fulfilled. In preview, they are:
- Using Your Imagination – “Remind yourself that your imagination is yours to use as you decide and that everything you wish to manifest into your physical world must first be placed firmly in your imagination in order to grow.” (Wishes Fulfilled, pg 88)
- Live from the End – “The facts are, for me, that a picture in my imagination is already my reality. I live from this perspective, and nothing can dissuade me from this stance because I am not hoping to get something else. I am already there.” (Wishes Fulfilled, pg 89)
- Feeling It – “Assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.” (Wishes Fulfilled, pg 99)
- Your Attention Please – “Do not give attention to what others do or fail to do; give attention to what you do or fail to do.” (Wishes Fulfilled, pg 117 )
- Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep – “The last five minutes of your day before you enter your sleep state are the most important five minutes of your day if you are going to begin living a wishes-fulfilled life.” (Wishes Fulfilled, pg 136)
After each chapter, Dyer gives you suggestions on how to achieve these foundations in your everyday life. Perhaps one of the more powerful foundations is learning about the power of “I Am” and every word that follows this statement.
What I am concerned with is the magnificence of these messages and my awareness that our world could be a world of love, peace, and joy; and we have the power to access unlimited fulfillment of wishes that are aligned with our source of being.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
I AM Statements
Practicing I Am statements and foundation five have changed the way I wake up in the morning. I wake up feeling more at peace and not stressed upon waking as I have been. I’ve experienced the physical difference after practicing these foundations, and I am sure you will too.
If you are not familiar with orbs and what they are or you don’t believe in them, then there is a section that you may not agree with or be open to. However, I would ask you to be open-minded and read through the entire book and not skip this section.
I think it provides comfort in knowing that the spirits of our loved ones, friends, or mentors (as in this book) are with us beyond the physical world.
Yes, it takes practice to live a life of manifesting or wishes fulfilled, but it’s worth it.
Everything we do takes practice until we can do it subconsciously, as mentioned in the book.
The biggest takeaway from this book is that manifesting is a way of living, not just daily affirmations and saying you want something. This book is your instruction manual for how to achieve this wishes fulfilled way of living.
Keep on reading! On to the next chapter. 📖
Soul Journeying: Shamanic Tools for Finding Your Destiny and Recovering Your Spirit by Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D.
Don’t let the title fool you into thinking you have to do something like Ayahuasca. You don’t. You do, however, journey into soul retrieval and visit the lower and upper worlds.
Meditation is going to come in really handy to perform this soul journey. First of all, this journeying may be harder to perform without a grounded and comfortable ability in meditation. This spiritual book offers a way to heal from lived lives and cleanse your soul in the present. The author explains it best below.
You’ll navigate through the all-pervading matrix of light that organizes time into past, present, and future by journeying – a unique state of consciousness that you enter through guided meditations and breathing exercises.
Alberto Villoldo
I don’t think this book is for someone just starting on their spiritual journey. Some of this may seem far out there if you’ve not yet read or learned about spiritual awakening, soul contracts, cord-cutting, past lives, cleansing energy, etc.
In this book, you’ll learn about the four-chambered soul.
The Lower World – 4 Chambers
- The Chamber of Wounds
- Chamber of Soul Contracts
- The Chamber of Grace
- The Chamber of Treasures
I have ventured into the first three chambers and am still working through this process. This process is not one you can delve right into in one day. At least, I wouldn’t think you could. The journeying requires stillness both internally and externally.
Once done correctly, it took me a few tries to get the hang of it. You can experience eye-opening knowledge. I know I did. It opened my eyes to a specific pattern of behavior that I’ve been trying to figure out for some time. Once I was shown where and whom it came from, my past life, it suddenly made sense. And I knew it to be true.
You will have your own unique experiences.
The Lower World is the bulk of this book, but you do also have the Upper World. You will retrieve your destiny, remove limiting beliefs, and learn more about the Five Planes.
This book is fascinating, and I am so glad I came across it through another book. It’s not like any book I’ve ever read. This is an excellent look into the shamans of the Americas.

I’ve read Soul Journeying by Alberto Villoldo from this list as recommended by my wellness coach Australia. The book has got something special indeed. It has transformed many of my habits. I’ve adopted a food combining chart for myself, which has boosted my health and mental health, to be honest. Stress and anxiety are long gone things for me.
