The Intuitive Way

Excerpt

To the Reader
 
Intuition is the long-lost juice of life. It brings us fluidity and joy, instantaneous answers, and abundant knowledge just for the asking. Living by intuition is an art that when mastered produces a thrill like no other. It is into this experience of living and perceiving intuitively that The Intuitive Way guides you.
 
You may have picked up this book because you feel blocked intuitively-maybe you're overwhelmed or untrusting, or unable to see the way out of the comfortable or uncomfortable box you inhabit. It may be a chronic flatness that plagues you, or a temporary solidity of mind or emotion. Don't worry. This is part of the natural ebb and flow of intuitive knowing. The wonderful thing about intuition is that it can return at any time and become fully activated at any age. It is an innate gift of your soul; you can forget to pay attention to it, but you can never lose it entirely. The material in this book will help you dissolve self-doubts and blockages and find your intuitive way forward.
 
You may be interested in intuition for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you're looking for deeper answers. Or maybe you'd like greater clarity in your life direction, or more insight into your relationships with others. Maybe you want to undam your creativity, increase the vividness of your dreams, cultivate more magical synchronicity, or even improve how you find parking spaces. One of my clients wanted to improve his intuition so he could become a professional gambler in Las Vegas. Another man, a successful headhunter, wanted to increase his capacity to "read" his clients' true abilities and sense which job would be a perfect fit. Intuition can bring increased success and satisfaction in every realm-be it material, emotional, or spiritual-and can also bring many joys, both tiny and great.

Cutting through the Chaos.
 
Intuition can make your life smoother and more fun, but it may also be the crucial skill of the future. Everywhere I travel, I speak with people whose physical and emotional lives are in turmoil, who can no longer rely on jobs, relationships, or possessions to provide meaning, who sense something intense occurring under the surface. The "normal" beliefs and forms people have identified with are shifting like sands in the Sahara. In addition, information is proliferating at such a frenzied rate that even with our personal computers and cellular phones (or perhaps because of them) we are increasingly overwhelmed and paralyzed. There are more opinions, demands for attention, and slick media experts today than ever before. We need direct access to answers that are both authentic and appropriate to our lives. Only intuition can cut through the noise, only intuition can provide calm in the face of chaos.
