Synopsis

"If you have a brain and a body, if you have memories, if you sleep at night (or any other time), then, by definition, you have to be--you are--intuitive."
--From the Introduction

In this groundbreaking, major work on intuition, well-being, and brain science, Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz reveals innovative, fresh, and exciting new ways to tap into intuitions that have the power to improve your health and save your life.
        
Intuition, Dr. Schulz maintains, is not a magical or mystical talent limited to a few sensitive people. It's a real, down-to-earth capacity that we all possess and can develop. Intuition is as natural as all your other senses and functions as a transmitter of body-mind messages that you can use to guide your actions. Awakening Intuition teaches you how to hone your receptivity to intuitive messages by attending to the clues of your body--including symptoms of physical disorder and disease, dreams and internal visions, voices, body sensations, emotional reactions, and memories.
        
Like Spontaneous Healing and Anatomy of the Spirit, Awakening Intuition illuminates the intimate connections between the mind, body, and emotions. Like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, the book provides astonishing new perspectives on what science has uncovered about the powers of the mind and cellular memories. Dr. Schulz tells fascinating personal stories of how she used her own intuition to heal her illnesses and her life and offers practical, proven guidelines for how you can develop your own intuitive guidance system and get your mind and body in sync. Dr. Schulz's always riveting, sometimes poignant, and often entertaining stories of how clients have used their own intuition to gain insight into the underlying meaning of their disorders and life challenges will inspire you to learn your own body's unique perceptive language. By learning to read and understand your sensations, movements, and memories and the signals of distress and disease, you will strengthen your mind-body consciousness and empower yourself to create a healthier, happier life.

About this title

Review

Awakening Intuition explores the idea that learning to use intuition and understanding its connection with memories, dreams, and healing can strengthen your body against disease and enrich your life. Using case studies, author Mona Lisa Shultz portrays her belief that emotions and diseases are linked, what areas of the body are affected by what kinds of feelings, and how we can tune in to the cause of an ailment. Indeed, Schultz describes curing herself of a brain disorder using intuition, and claims she keeps her Graves' disease in remission solely through this work.

Schultz's basic treatise is that the body is continuously sending us messages through symptoms and symbols to get our attention. By heeding these messages and using intuition to decode them, we can make changes that enhance our health and emotional well-being.

Schultz is a physician, neuropsychiatrist, and neuroscientist who has worked as a "medical intuitive" for more than a decade. Far from claiming extraordinary powers, Schultz believes we are all intuitive and can train ourselves to tap into our resources. "It's a real down-to-earth capacity that is available to anyone willing to tune in his transmitter and listen in to what's being broadcast," writes Schultz. "The information it offers us is practical, and it can immeasurably improve and enrich our lives." --Joan Price

From the Back Cover

"By reading this book and applying Dr. Schulz's lightning to your own tough seeds, you too can find healing, new growth, and a new life."
--From the Foreword by Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom Advance Praise for Awakening Intuition

"Awakening Intuition is absolutely the most brilliant book on the mind-body relationship that has ever been written. I simply couldn't put it down. Grounded in the latest research, it comes alive through intuitive readings, clinical anecdotes, and the fascinating life story of Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz. Her sense of humor shines through on every page as she illuminates emotional territory with lightning clarity,
encouraging us not only to heal our wounds, but to use our gifts."
--Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind and
A Woman's Book of Life: The Biology, Psychology, and Spirituality of the Feminine Lifecycle

"If there are any doubts that we contain majestic, unused gifts for knowing, this book should erase them. For a picture of what we can be, Awakening Intuition is a blueprint. Schulz kicks modern medicine and psychology into high gear. Be careful. After reading this book, you may be unable to revert to a business-as-usual way of understanding your life and your health."
--Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Be Careful What You Pray For, Prayer Is Good Medicine, and Recovering the Soul
