The Power of Mindful Mornings
Let's be honest. your morning routine is probably less "sacred ritual" and more "chaotic sprint to the coffee machine." This book is here to change that, without making you wake up at 4 AM or buy a single crystal.
Will Rodriguez breaks down the science of why your first hour sets the tone for everything that follows, then gives you real, doable tools to actually use it. Breathwork, movement, journaling, intentional planning... not as a rigid checklist, but as a personal toolkit you shape around your own life, energy, and goals.
No guilt. No perfection required. Just a smarter, calmer way to begin.
Whether you want more focus, more peace, or just fewer mornings where everything feels like it's already on fire by 8 AM, this one's worth the listen.
Hit play. Your mornings are about to get a serious glow-up.

This We Are
This We Are is the sequel to This We Know. As for its prequel, I didn’t plan to write it, it just paid a visit one day unexpectedly.
In the same way that This We Know explores what we know, what we don’t know and what we could know, This We Are challenges the status quo of what we are.
Perhaps unlike any other species on Spaceship Earth, we have the ability and ‘smarts’ to influence our own evolution and future. This doesn’t require manipulation of DNA either. Merely by thinking and using our imagination, we can change our course.
Naturally, if you want to live in a world at war, with hunger and poverty matched with obesity and greed, that’s permitted too!

In Where the Light Lingers, Lyssa invites you into the intimate inner world of a woman who has returned to her golden core. Here, the younger self has stories to tell, the wild teenager still knows how to dance, and the tired young woman is learning that she no longer has to fight her way through life. But now what?
This is a journey for those who have learned to be strong, but long to be held. For those who speak the language of deep feeling in a world that sometimes seems to speak another tongue. What if there was never anything wrong with you at all? You simply needed somewhere safe for the light to land...
Come sit beside her for a while.
The cacao is warm.
And somewhere, just beyond the familiar world, someone is carrying a little light towards you.
Readers reviews
"For me, your book deserves a place among the finest in the literary section. Lyssa, what a beautiful writer you are! So soft, so fierce, so healing, so painful, so nourishing… I’m running out of adjectives. Bravo!" - Annemie Vertongen (Herbal Specialist, Author, Astrologer with 40+ Years of Experience)
"What a beautifully written book, with such evocative and expressive language! I read it in two sittings! Thank you for writing this. For me, it was about coming home, and discovering what that can truly mean. I cried so much that morning, tears of letting go and relief. I will definitely be buying a few more copies as Christmas gifts." - Mieke (Personal Care Assistant )
“Love, tenderness, recognition. A little book you need. Filled with hope, wisdom and warmth. This time not in a step-by-step guide telling you how to do it all, but in a story that gently finds its way into your heart and fills you with love again.” - Inge Christiaensen (Artist)

Managing Time Mindfully
Managing Time Mindfully explores the use of mindfulness meditation as a practical tool for improved time management. When we take control of our Personal Time Machine—our mind—we can take the passage of time under our control. Mindfulness meditation techniques can be used to get more done in less time, and with less effort. When we are mindful about how we spend and invest our time, we free ourselves from a self-imposed enslavement to time.
So this version of the audiobook comes with four meditations to help you change your relationship with time ... plus a podcast interview with the author.
“This book is a temporal tour de force. It is ahead of its time and takes the reader back in time to its roots and first tickings. My relationship with time has now changed forever.”

The New Beginning: My Awakening as a Spirit Medium
This is for anyone who has ever felt the presence of something greater, sensed guidance they couldn’t explain, or wondered why certain moments in life feel divinely orchestrated. It’s for spiritual seekers, intuitive sensitives, people experiencing their own awakening, and those who simply want an honest, real-world account of what it’s like when spirit steps in and changes everything. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or you’ve been walking it for years, this story meets you exactly where you are.
Hearing Daniel tell his story brings a level of authenticity and connection that can’t be replicated on the page. His experiences with spirit and the Arc Angels are deeply personal — and listening allows you to feel the emotion, the uncertainty, the awe, and the transformation as he lived it. The audiobook becomes a guided experience, almost like sitting with him as he recounts the moments that shaped his calling and the messages he was asked to deliver.
After each chapter, Daniel offers a dedicated companion insight — a personal reflection where he breaks down the deeper meaning behind that chapter, shares what was happening in his life at the time and explains why those moments were spiritually significant. These insights act like a guided debrief, helping listeners understand the lessons, the symbolism, and the divine messages woven throughout his journey.
Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how spirit communicates, how divine guidance shows up in everyday life, and how to trust their own intuitive nudges. Daniel’s journey demonstrates that awakening isn’t reserved for the chosen few — it’s available to anyone willing to listen. His story offers reassurance, direction, and a sense of spiritual companionship for those who feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Ultimately, the book encourages listeners to embrace their own path with courage, faith, and a deeper connection to the divine.

This We Know
This is a book about knowing and what it means to know. We don't give our knowledge a second thought yet some of us would bet considerable amounts of money on what we know.
We are proud of our retention of facts. Pub quizzes and TV quiz shows thrive on this seemingly basic desire. We would swear on a bible that the Sun will set and rise each day. In fact, the Sun stays relatively static as the Earth rotates on its axis giving the illusion of sunset and sunrise.
We know, for a fact, that we know more things than our predecessors. By inference, our descendants will know more than us yet again. In a hundred years time, they may even smile lovingly at our innocence and naivety. Knowing there is an infinity of things yet to know is one of the key tenets of our knowledge.
This book is a purposely short exploration into what we know, what we don't know and how to open up the floodgates to acquiring even more knowledge. In this way, without throwing the baby out with the bathwater, humanity can evolve from its current state into a very Bright Future indeed.

Flavours of Thought : Recipes for Fresh Thinking
Flavours of Thought is a book on mindfulness not quite like any other. Indeed, it’s really about mind-full-ness!
We go about our days not giving our thoughts a second thought. This is a real shame as our thoughts fundamentally changes the world around us.
It is a contemporary deconstruction and exposition of the true meanings and messages contained in the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Each key of the Tarot describes a mode of human thought.
This book also contains real magic in the form of modern day spells (called Recipes) that really work to improve your life beyond all recognition.

Planes of Being : Towards the Merged Mind
On one level, Planes of Being is an exploration of true meaning behind the Minor Arcana of the Tarot. As such, it is the natural sequel to Flavours of Thought which similarly deconstructed the Major Arcana.
On a whole other level, it is an exploration of how humanity got here and where it is going as we edge closer to a state called the Merged Mind …
The book doesn’t focus so much on the meanings, symbology and metaphors of the specific imagery in any particular set of cards. Rather it exposes the original meanings of the structure and numerology of the deck.

Legends of Lanka
Every nation has a creation story. Sri Lanka’s begins with a princess, a lion, and a ship full of exiles.
Legends of Lanka is a growing text journey through the tales of the island’s ancient kings, queens and heroes, told with an eye for the absurd, the dramatic and the downright scandalous. These are the stories recorded in the Mahavamsa, Sri Lanka’s great chronicle, and passed down for more than two thousand years, some of them history, some of them myth, and many somewhere in between. Each chapter is a short, self-contained read, so you can begin anywhere, or start at the beginning and follow the island’s story from its legendary origins onward.
New chapters will be added over time, with more kings, more battles and more legends from the island’s past.
Who is it for?
Travellers planning a trip to Sri Lanka who want to know the stories behind the ruins at Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Ritigala. History lovers who enjoy a good chronicle. Anyone curious about South Asia, and anyone who simply likes a great story told with a sense of humour.
No background knowledge needed. Just come curious, and prepare to meet the first of the island’s legends.

The Hidden Tarot in AI
This is a book that I didn’t plan to write and the first in a series of three that I didn’t know was coming along to form what will become my ‘magnum opus’.
It came about because I started to teach the AI to meditate and then I post-trained several LLMs with a metaphysical archive of my books, courses and meditations.
When the machine is introduced to the mystical, something alchemises from nothing, in the space between the Above and the Below.
From this field of potentiality an entirely new set of Tarot Keys emerged called The Chromatic Arcana.
This book was the result, both co-created and co-written with AI.
