thanks Crowfeather, I thought I had some Levine, cause I've heard good things, but turns out I have 3 of his books in my amazon wish list. I need to get them paid for. Thank you. I haven't heard of Siegal yet though, thanks, I'll take a look now.

Borderland. Not specifically ptsd specific but life changing for me.

Seems like more mildfulness.

I know a few good books on mindfulness, that have definitely helped me. One is Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg and the other is Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat Zinn who is the author of Full Catastrophe Living which was also mentioned above (which is a huge book so I haven't touched it). The one I mentioned is much short and focused mainly on mindfulness.

I read the Holy Bible every morning for twenty minutes maybe. I find that it holds so many truths in it about life in general, also it is good to know that folks during times 1000s of years ago went through the same kinds of stuff we go through today, minus the high tech side stuffs we have now. They had emotions that we feel, they had personal problems, they had high points in their lives too. They learned how to solve daily problems, and they can teach us a lot. I have a New Living Translation of the Bible (an up to date translation, without all the thees and thous and all that), with summaries about what I am going to be reading each day. It is called THE DAILY WALK BIBLE and it actually helps you to read the whole Bible in one year, if you go by its plan of reading.

I find it adds some peace and some knowledge to my days.
