Product Description

A powerful guide to awakening intuition and using it to create a fulfilling life.

Coincidence. Miracles. Divine Intervention. What many people refer to as once-in-a-lifetime occurrences, Gabrielle Roth explains is actually intuition. By weaving the five threads of intuitive wisdom into our lives, it is possible to live secure in the knowledge of who we are, where we're going, and how we're going to get there. It's just a matter of stripping away the things that block, distract, and suppress natural instinct.

Through insightful guidance and fascinating examples from her own life and the lives of others, Gabrielle Roth illuminates this path to understanding and trusting intuition, providing the reader with the tools to lead a fuller life.

5.0 out of 5 stars INTUITING YOUR LIFE-DANCE, October 13, 2004

By	Jules Cazedessus (NY, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those of you who know Gabrielle's work and for those of you who don't -- this book is an intimate, inspiring journey with a wise woman who will blow your mind and fill your heart. CONNECTIONS is Gabrielle's third book and I've heard more than a few people say that it's her best (although I'm not going to discourage you from reading the other two--they're great too) but with this book, you'll feel you have met the woman herself. CONNECTIONS is like having a wild, psychic mentor in your own back pocket. A hot, hip poet whispering in your ear. An alchemist turning the crap into gold right before your innocent eyes. This woman has a fire that lights a path through the thickest psychic forest, the height of cultural chaos, the strangest, craziest of times. And the really cool thing is, she'll show YOU how to keep lighting that fire yourself. This book is a love letter from a shaman-goddess you'll feel like you've known forever. And maybe you have. And maybe you are.

3.0 out of 5 stars The dancing writer, April 16, 2005

By	Saskia Van Uylenburgh "Saskia" - See all my reviews

Roth is best known as the creator of the 5 Rhythms form of movement meditation, but she has supplemented and documented her teaching practice with recordings, videos, and several books. Connections is a short book but a thoughtful one, a series of half-slangy, half-poetic meditations on the concept of intuition, instinct, and inner knowing. Roth writes with the same instinctive flow with which she dances, flinging off memorable phrases like fast moves, touching on a galaxy of other writers and artists, weaving in anecdotes from her own life. This was a pleasurable and stimulating read, if not as good as her earlier book, Sweat Your Prayers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, potent, and palatable, December 3, 2004

By	T. Hehir (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This small book is very mighty and offers practical ways to access individual intuition and how to take intuitive thinking to the level of action. Roth is clever, funny and has a profound understanding of instincts and our instinctual nature. The book is awesome.
