Science of the Sacraments by Charles Leadbeater
This would be the best book available that describes the actual spiritual events that occur during the Eucharist.  Charles Leadbeater was one of the most brilliant clairvoyants at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and he  accurately records all he sees during the performing of the Mass.  The accuracy of this book has been vouched for by so many other psychics, (including some of the present Australian Church of Antioch Clergy), and they join in with the others to commend the quality of this work.    
One minor statement about women's ability to be celebrants that Leadbeater made in this book, is no longer relevant, and Leadbeater did himself acknowledge that this information would in the very near future be redundant.   This has proved to come true with the Church of Antioch USA. and Australia both having gained true lines of female succession in 1987 that are perfectly in balance with the male.  
Available through all theosophical bookshops.

                           The Centres Workshops

These workshops constitute a comprehensive exploration of the ancient art and spiritual practice of MARU.  This is the world's oldest set of spiritual practices, and is one of the seven great "keys" to the spiritual mysteries.

There are four "levels of Workshop" corresponding to the four levels of spiritual practice.

                             (I). Level One - Introduction to the Centres

At this level the student is introduced to the basic practice of "Centre Work".  This ancient spiritual practice is the basis of the later concept of the "chakras".

The origins and brief history of "Centre Work" will be briefly discussed and the "Garden of Eden", the "Pictish Symbol", the Northumbrian Runic Pattern and the "esoteric significance of the Enneagram" in relation to the Centres will be discussed.

You will learn how to "build" and "develop" the Centres for the purposes of "spiritual development".  You will learn the basic spiritual practices of the hand positions, body postures, sounds, colours, cardinal directions and other methods for working with physical spiritual and earth energy for peace and tranquillity, and health of mind body and spirit.  These practices are the first steps in learning "Spiritual Alchemy", in the practice of "continuous spiritual knowledge" (maintaining conscious knowledge from lifetime to lifetime) which is also called "spiritual immortality".  This practice is also the basis of "controlled energy reception and transmission".

The workshops are designed for all levels from "personal development" up to "instructor levels". Because of the nature of MARU we can teach people on all contemporary spiritual pathways how to deepen and enhance their spiritual lives.  If you are a “spiritual seeker", or have no particular spiritual tradition you can still use these methods. 

If you are already a "practitioner" of an existing spiritual tradition please inform your instructor as slight variations in the teaching methods may be required.

Persons attending the level 1 workshop will be required to sign the following declaration:

I acknowledge that I have received instruction in Level I MARU (Centre Work) practices.  This information is for myself and private spiritual practice, and I will not purport to teach this information to others for profit without specific authorization from a registered and recognized MARU instructor or trainer.  I acknowledge that these methods and techniques remain the intellectual property of the teachers of MARU

This declaration shall constitute a legally binding contract.

Persons who have attended Level I Workshops, who wish to attend workshops of this level for a second time are entitled to a 50% discount for subsequent workshops at this level for a period of three years.
                                             (II). Level Two - "Static" Centre Work

                          Further details will be posted as this Work Shop becomes available.

                              (III). Level Three - "Dynamic" Centre Work.

                          Further details will be posted as this Work Shop becomes available.

                                  (IV). Level Four - Specific Applications.
These are a series of "specific applications" of Centre work to many different kinds of spiritual and physical applications.  Many different religious spiritual and "alternative healing" applications will be explored each in a separate workshop.

                          Further details will be posted as these Work Shops becomes available.
