An Introduction to Intuition

By Dr. Judith Orloff, the Official Guide to Intuition

I'm defining Intuition as a potent form of inner wisdom, not mediated

by the rational mind. Accessible to us all, it's a still, small voice

inside. It's an unflinching truth teller committed to our well-being.

You may experience intuition as a gut feeling, hunch, a physical

sensation, a snapshot-like flash, or a dream. Always a friend, it

keeps a vigilant eye on our bodies, letting us know if something is

out of synch. We each possess an intuitive healing code within us that

contains the blueprints for our health, happiness and survival of

everything that is good here on earth. This code is written in a

language of silence, metaphor, imagery, energy, and knowings that may

seem alien until we are taught to decipher it. I want to share what I

know of this code with you, although I'm always learning more. As you

begin to understand its nuances, its secrets, the code will seem like

the most familiar language of all, one you uttered before you ever had

a memory of anything material, one that doesn't require a spoken voice

to comprehend.

My expertise is as psychiatrist and practicing intuitive. My wish is

to introduce you to practical techniques I use in my life and teach to

patients every day about using the power of intuition to heal. You can

learn to truly listen to your body's needs. You'll recognize warning

signals and act on them to prevent illness. I'll give you skills to

access vital information from meditation, dreams, and remote viewing

(a way of intuitively tuning in), to make sense of your life when it's

most confusing. The insights you gain from these techniques will lend

reason, compassion, and meaning to events such as illness, loss, or

despair that the rational mind alone has a limited capacity to

appreciate. You'll be shown a method of utilizing your body's subtle

energies to heal pain, panic, depression and other symptoms.

Reach back in your experience. See if you can't remember a special

time when you listened, really listened, to what seemed invisible, yet

felt so true. Maybe it was an inner call to enter a career, a sudden

inexplicable attraction to the person you were destined to marry, or

simply a strong impulse to contact a good friend you haven't seen for

years. That indisputable sense of rightness is an echo of the code I'm

speaking of. You deserve such certainty about all decisions. Even if

you feel out of touch with it now, let me help you find it again. This

is the kind of intuition I've built my psychiatric career and personal

life around. Without it, I don't feel complete. Without it, my

patients only get a fraction of who I am as a healer, and suffer as a

result. Without it, I miss the joy, clarity, and vision to positively

catalyze changes in my patient's lives and my own.

This is not a fringe phenomenon. It has gone mainstream. So many of us

are tired of staying numb and asleep and long for the kind of

exhilaration only intuitive and spiritual awakening can bring. Come

wake up with me. Begin to lift the veils before your eyes. Heaven is

not some far away place, separated from life. Intuition will enable

you to see the beauty, passion, and exquisite light that have always

been there.

I'd like you to think of healing in the broadest terms. It may involve

a complete resolution of symptoms, a " cure, " or it may not. On a

profound intuitive level, it also pertains to the self-knowledge and

soul growth achievable during illness, or as death approaches. Our

perception of these passages is key. In good health or ill, if we aim

for self-compassion and a deepening link with the divine, we're

engaging in an act of love, one that is inevitably transformative.

There comes a time when we must decide if we are committed to a life

based on heart. If so, then with regard to healing this means coming

to compassionate terms with the light and dark forces that shape us.

Nothing is excluded. Remember this when you greet all the angels and

beasts on your path. As your heart opens, so does your intuition. Your

intuition will teach you how to see and how to love. It instills in

you a renewed faith to face anything.
