Book Description

October 6, 2009
Laura Day has used intuition and taught tools for employing it to make businesses stronger, to help people find love, heal their own bodies, effectively communicate. Day developed techniques, presented here, to create dazzling results in less time and with less work. You can initiate these techniques from your couch, by using your innate ability to utilize that knowledge that you have inside of you to transmit and receive information and to build a new reality. Everything you learn in this book will make your decisions better, your relationships stronger, your actions more effective and your life easier. The following are just some of the techniques that will be explained in this book. * Intuition, or flashes of insight gained without using traditional sources of "information" * Mediumship, or the ability to become someone or something else and view the world from its perspective, which allows you to work from within a person or situation and to directly experience that perspective * Remote viewing, or the ability to perceive a physical location or person at a distance, which allows you to experience how a person or situation is structured and how to change that structure in a desired way The book will also include an exercise section to develop and hone these skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Approach to Using the Powers of Your Mind October 6, 2009
Format:Hardcover
Laura Day's work has been extremely important to me. I've exchanged a couple of emails with her over the years, attended a couple of her free workshops in New York City, but don't know her beyond that. Her books on intuition have been of great value to me, so much so that I rushed out to get her new book as soon as it was available and devoured it in one marathon reading session. It did not disappoint. And yet I am a little uncomfortable about posting a review here. Intuition is "woo-hoo" stuff right? I mean, it defies logic and the materialistic mindset a lot of us are raised with. I don't want to come off as gullible.

I am an empiricist, meaning I believe in evidence and science. I was initially attracted to reading Laura Day because a great scientist, James Watson, the co-discovered of DNA, praised her. I tried the exercises in her first book on developing intuition. I was astonished that I could do some of the stuff Ms. Day insists we all can do.

There was a moment after reading Laura Day's first book when my view of what was possible shifted. I wrote the name of an elderly aunt who lived in a distant state and who I had not seen for many years, on a piece of paper, folded it and at lunch gave it to a co-worker. I asked the co-worker to tell me something about the unknown person. I had not discussed my aunt at all at work--I was thinking about her only because I had just heard some bad news about her health. I had always had a distant but okay relationship with her, though I was uncomfortable about how stingy she had always been. Pathologically stingy in my view. That was my one issue with her. I carried some anger about her once, in her stinginess, doing something hurtful to my mother. My coworker who had no idea what the name on the paper was, closed her eyes and then burst out indignantly, "My God, is this person cheap!" I kind of think my coworker accessed information not so much about my aunt as my view of her, but she had no way of finding that information other than intuitively. What are the odds of this being a coincidence? Using Laura Day's exercises I've had similar hard to explain experiences many times over the years, and have been able to use my own intuition in concretely helpful ways. I have to say with hindsight I see now it could have been more helpful if I'd been willing to trust it more.

I don't know how it works but I believe intuition exists. I have used it and it has been of help to me, and I really owe Laura Day for that. This book expands on her previous work, delves into powers of the mind beyond intuition, and I am eager to read it again--slowly this time--and try the exercises. Ms. Day writes in an engaging, accessible style and this book is an enjoyable read. If you actually use this book and experiment with the exercises, I believe it can have a real impact on your life and help you access an aspect of your own mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Key to Unlocking Your Own Keys To Life October 18, 2009
By mary c
Format:Hardcover
This book covers a full range of intuitive practices: Mediumship, Telepathy, Body Heat Telepathy,Remote Viewing,Precognition, and my favorite chapter: Healing. If you were only going to have one book on developing intuition, I would say This Is It. For two main reasons:
1. the instruction is so thorough, without being overwhelming (this is a blessedly organized teacher/author) that you actually get to practice the skills instead of just reading interesting stuff. Motivating!.
2. the real jewel of the book: you get Day's illuminated thinking process. Her experience as a teacher and focused writer really shows here, she holds the students hand page after page and gives solid, invaluable thinking to approaching intuitive work and life.

Like somebody said: knowing the question to ask is more important the answer. Ultimately this is a life guidebook as well as an intuition tutorial. She really covers the 'what if's' and gets you onto safe ground to know your own system and carry forward on your own, I can't say I have really felt this supported reading ...um...anything!
.
Some of the great stuff in the book:
~A top ten "ways we get in our way" list . My two faves there are: not applying the exercise to real goals in your life, and looking for immediate feedback/validation on the readings you do.
~ Bedtime/Sleep Telepathy: Day points out that we are all getting and receiving messages whether or not we realize it, and addresses it
~the Healing Chapter -it's what you would think plus: how to reclaim lost parts of yourself, bringing harmony to body, life, relationship, or a company

Each skill has an extensive and enlightening list of applications.
Want to change yourself in the past, or evaluate a stock, or know how people see themselves to best communicate with them? Try Mediumship.
Want to view your competitors products or strategies, or locate a missing object? Hit the Remote Viewing chapter
Need to convince an opponent to come around to or idea or rid yourself of subconscious sabotage? Go to Telepathy

Laura Day does heart-mending work. Her earlier books are wonderful (The Circle, Welcome to our Crisis especially). This book is even more: a blockbuster treasure chest of tools to get you through life's twists and turns. I look forward to re-reading and digging deeper through this pot of gold.

I feel the author has left me with the best life-guide one could hope for: myself.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for Everyone February 7, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was excited for this book because of Laura Day's popularity. I'm a 22 year old artist. I'm not trying to control the minds of my business associates, as Laura Day generously "explains" how to do. I LOVE honing my intuition and psychic abilities-- that's what I expected and didn't receive from this book. It seems to me that she intends her audience to be completely uneducated in the subject matter, and at the same time, she gives no solid explanation of how to gain/practice the skills she outlines. She just praises what these skills can do for you. It's "lots of chatter, no substance" as another reviewer said. She didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know/ believe. I will definitely be selling my copy. I strongly recommend Sonia Choquette, whose books on psychic abilities have greatly enriched me.
