    Hello Nikola,

    If you need a book that will show you all the rooms, you can read Jane Roberts fantastic books. They are a bit dense, but if you feel that you are ready for that you will understand them. You can start with Seth Speaks…. This lady in the 70s channeled material which is simply the bible of the universe.

    Brian Weiss – psychiatrist who shares true stories of his patients that under hypnosis reveal past lives and there they find the reason for their anxiety, depression etc. This is for beginners to introduce that there is something more outside the castle…

    Nil Donald Walsh -he talks about the same but through conversations with “God” i.e. himself….because he was religious-this is also for beginners in the subject but good one.

    I’d recommend Thich Nhat Hanh‘s Peace Is Every Step for anyone. 😀
    Mindfulness presented in a gentle, lyrical way that fits for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Simple but powerful. Also Fragrant Palm Leaves by the same author is a delightful read.

    I am also a Christian, but I recently discovered that I wanted to go beyond my beliefs and experience other things. The first book I read a couple months ago is called How To Reach Enlightenment (I don’t remember the author, sorry!). It opened my eyes and my mind so much, it was amazing. The book is very easy to understand and explains very well how to be more conscious of what is around us and within us, how to meditate, how to deal with stress and anxiety, etc. I highly recommend it!

    The book I often recommend to people keen to learn more about mindfulness and meditation is Mindfulness in Plain English by Ven. Henepola Gunaratana. I suggest you buy a hard copy to read (and re-read!) but it’s also generously available for free online: http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html

    It is an excellent introduction, that is accessible without dulling down the profound potential of the practice. Enjoy!

    Nikola,

    Here’s another one: The Heart of Zen (http://www.amazon.com/The-Heart-Zen-Enlightenment-Liberation/dp/1583947647#) and the Mondo Zen Manual (http://www.mondozen.org/_literature_104890/Mondo_Zen_Training_Manual_April_2012) to guide one through the practice referred to in the book.

    Enjoy 🙂
    Helen
