Review

How many times have you made a decision and then later wished you'd followed the voice in your head that told you to do something else? We typically are programmed to ignore what we sense is right in favor of the more justifiable or pressing alternative. Intuition, especially in women, has a tendency to be brushed off as being illogical or subjective. Intuition Workout approaches this quality as a highly prized skill to develop. Through practice exercises, it is designed to put you in touch with your intuitiveness, and to trust it. I found this book helped strengthen my ability to look for and listen to my "inner voice" -a compass too often overlooked for navigating through life. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Intuition Workout: A Practical Guide to Discovering and Developing Your Inner Knowing (Paperback)

One of the most valuable things that you can do for yourself is to learn to develop your intuition, which helps you gain access your Overself and its infinite repository of information. There are clearly many types of intuition: from simple instincts, originating in your physical body and your brain, to insights that seem to come from a different dimension of existence.

I have written a great deal about the value and importance of improving your intuition and learning how to use objective measures to monitor the accuracy of your insights. In my own print and eBooks I have presented many exercises and experiments that have helped thousands of people around the world. My challenge in the future will be to say something new or fresh that isn't already covered in this fine book! I had somehow missed this work until quite recently.

I have not met Nancy but I hope that I shall: her book is well written, short and to the point. Many of the exercises were taught to me as a youngster, and I have not seen then elsewhere. I shall be interested to learn where she found them or whether her own intuition guided her to them.

I particularly like that she makes the important point that intuition is a valuable source of information, but it is meant to enhance logical and rational thinking, not replace it. The great scientists who discovered relativity, quantum mechanics and the structure of benzene all had intuitive insights, but then spent weeks, months and years putting them into the language of mathematics and science. So it should be when we use intuition in our daily lives: use it as an internal guidance system, but use your mind to work out how to get to where you are supposed to. I have actually known people who would not eat until their intuition told them what to order.

The one extra small point is this. Books about intuition can guide you a long way, but it is also true that personal teachers can often wake you up to intuition extraordinarily quickly. So use and learn from this book, but if you get the opportunity to spend even a little time with a good teacher, that may well enhance and amplify what Nancy teaches in this excellent book.

Highly recommended.

This book is great. its helpping you to discover how to reprogram you brain in a possitive way. it teaches you things that people also can learn from intuition classes, but this book makes it less expensive to learn. I recommend this book for all people that would like to know their intuition.
