My process of cultivation would not be where it is today without ongoing research and study into this vast field of Energy Work. On this page I will list many of the books, videos and websites that have been instrumental in my growth.

I am forever indebted to the wonderful people who have written and produced these various works, and I thank them for sharing their knowledge and insights so freely with others.

Some of the authors and presenters I have had the pleasure of meeting and knowing personally: Francesco and Daisy Lee Garripoli, Dr. Maoshing and Dr. Daoshing Ni, and Al Chung-Liang Huang. To them I extend a very special 'Mahalo' for having shared some wonderful interpersonal learning experiences. It is impossible to measure their contributions to my learning curve.

The following list is partial and I will continue to add to it. As this page evolves, I will publish reviews with my own personal experience gained from each book or video. The first review has been submitted to Amazon.com for Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain.

If you have an interest in a particular work, please feel free to contact me.
