Belleruth Naparstek (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 1998

‘An excellent book on intuition that matures the subject as a result of the author’s talent for presenting a sophisticated approach to our ‘Sixth Sense’. I can’t recommend the book enough’Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of Anatomy of the SpiritYou know the feeling – deja vu, knowing what someone will say before they speak, a gut instinct that overrides logic, hearing from a distant friend you’d only just thought of that day. It happens to everyone, but few of us acknowledge these occurrences as manifestations of our own psychic ability. Now, bestselling author Belleruth Naparstek recalims the wrold of psychic phenomena from its sideshow trappings, examining scientific data and showing each of us how to tap our own latent powers of awareness and perception.

Amazon.com Review

Using the same guided imagery techniques she teaches her clients, Belleruth Naparstek shows the reader how to train and use the sixth sense in the same manner one would use any of the other five senses in order to perceive things beyond normal cognition. Naparstek's guided imagery approach not only increases psychic sensitivity, but benefits one's emotional and physical well-being. The approach taken in Your Sixth Sense is clear and systematic, revealing the mechanisms behind the sixth sense, and avoiding the sideshow tendencies of other books on the subject. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The user friendly guide to enlarging your psychic skills, May 10, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Sixth Sense: Activating Your Psychic Potential (Hardcover)

As a practicing psychotherapist, organizational development consultant and faculty member of the famed Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, I'll always be a lifelong student of human behavior and our collective possibilities. I've recommended B.Naparstek's guided imagery tapes to clients for the last five years. Always with great success. Her previous book, "Staying well with guided imagery" was a great addition to the well thumbed books I'll referr to for life. Her latest book, "Your sixth sense", is the tour de force that no, not even anyone baby psychic skills could have predicted. The reasons "Your sense sixth" is such a major contribution to all the social sciences is because of its profound grasp of complex human phenomena that is simply explained. Naparstek allows anyone who reads this work TO OWN their psychic ability through "ah ha", I've been there re-experiencing AS THEY READ her work and she gives wonderfully clear suggestions about HOW anyone can enlarge their psychic knowing. For years, practitioners have been referencing the phenomena of energy and human energy field, Naparstek easily guides us through complex reviews to help literally wrap our minds around the physics of what energy is about and how we can have more of it. Frankly, I hope this text becomes the forever classic it so richly deserves to be. "Your sixth sense" is the most grounded approach to what has typically been the stuff delegated to metaphysics and practitioners of esoteric wisdom. Here finally, we can all get on the same wave of ancient thinking, honed with cutting edge insights and delivered in a manner that empowers any reader to enlarge their vocabulary of action for the complexities of everyday life. "Your sixth sense" is not only a guide to heightening the power of your psychic abilities, it's also acts as a guide how to live more fully, more vibrantly with clearer channels open to get from others what we need for life. Practices outlined by Naparstek may be helpful in staying well, enriching our relational posssibilities with others and "sparking-up" one's own charisma! I just love this book and am recommending it to all my clients, friends and colleagues. It's wise to share such a treasure with the rest of the world. Thanks for reading this. You'll really thank yourself when you actually get this. Oh, if you're just toooo busy for the book. Get the audio version of the "Sixth sense". She does a guided imagery piece that takes you to realms typically activated in true rem states. What's even better is that she takes your there with her own voice. Hollywood actors themselves couldn't improve on her. She and her work are the real thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had more stars, October 1, 2001

This review is from: Your Sixth Sense: Unlocking the Power Of Your Intuition (Paperback)

Each week on a spiritual live radio show, I review a book that will assist you as you open your senses and thoughts to universal energy. So I get to read for my job! How blessed.
I look for practical and understandable books that will explain in detail for the beginner, and continue knowledge and share new techniques of learning for the old hand. YOUR SIXTH SENSE is probably one of the BEST books I could recommend to someone that believes they "may" have enhanced intuitive skills.

Belleruth interviewed 40 ethical, practicing psychics and healers. She shares the common denominators that she found within this select group. Such as a high percentage of the sensitives were only children. A high ratio had suffered through either abuse of some form or extreme trauma before they noticed that they were receiving psychic information.
The book goes on to speak on how you can continue to engage in meditation, how to trust your intuition, she describes some of the terms you may hear as you venture into learning more about the use of psi, and my favorite part, she gives some terrific guidelines on spiritual and psychic ethics. Being psychic carries a huge responsibilty. I mean what do you do when you are chatting with someone, and all of a sudden you feel, hear, or see information (be it good or bad) on the person with whom you are chatting? Is it an intrusion to give information when it has not been asked for?
Read the book and see what Belleruth has to say.
I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, October 28, 2001

This review is from: Your Sixth Sense: Unlocking the Power Of Your Intuition (Paperback)

Ms. Naparstek's new book is amazing. She shows us a whole new way to view the solid, material world that is incredibly liberating and intellectually interesting as well. (And she doesn't sound like she's writing a technical manual either, even when she's getting reeeeally technical, which isn't often anyway.) Her theories on intuition and "psychic" phenomena are incredibly un-"new-agey" and backed up with her own experience and a full set of credentials. Best of all, once she's finishing explaining it, she shows you how to enhance your own psychic awareness in simple ways you probably never thought about. No matter how skeptical you are (I am!), this book is definitely worth your time.
