Journey to Healing

A travel blog about burnout, healing, and the long road back to joy.

  • Books That Walked With Me

    This is not a recommended reading list.
    It’s a record of companions.
    These books didn’t arrive to teach me something new.
    They arrived when I was ready to hear what I already felt.

    But for a time, they walked beside me and that mattered.

    Dying to Be Me

    Anita Moorjani

    This book didn’t instruct; it reflected. It gave language to the cost of self-abandonment and the quiet power of choosing joy and authenticity. Different path, same truth.

    The Alchemist

    Paulo Coelho

    A reminder that clarity is rarely the starting point. Curiosity is. This book reinforced my belief that movement comes before understanding, and that meaning reveals itself through experience.

    Tao Te Ching

    Lao Tzu -(Translated Stephen Mitchell )

    Not a book I read once, but one I return to. It reshaped how I understand effort, strength, and flow. When I speak of moving like water, this is where that language lives.

    Striking Thoughts

    Bruce Lee

    More philosophy than biography. A reminder that discipline, presence, and honesty — mental, physical, and emotional — are lifelong practices.

    The Power of Intention

    Dr. Wayne Dyer

    A gentle but firm reminder that intention shapes experience. This book helped me see that alignment is less about effort and more about allowing — about choosing from a place of inner truth rather than external demand.

    The Celestine Prophecy

    James Redfield

    This book arrived when I was paying attention to coincidence and timing. It reminded me that encounters are rarely accidental, and that awareness changes what we notice. Whether mystical or practical, it taught me to trust that meaning often appears only after we stop dismissing it.

    The Four Agreements

    Don Miguel Ruiz

    Simple ideas with lasting weight. This book stripped life back to four commitments — speak honestly, don’t assume, don’t take things personally, and do your best. Not as rules, but as daily practices that make life lighter and relationships clearer.

    Awaken Healing Energy Through the Tao

    Mantak Chia

    This book shifted my understanding of the body from something to manage into something to listen to. It reinforced the idea that energy, breath, and awareness are deeply connected — and that healing is participatory, not passive.
