Author:Judith Orloff
Unique in being both a highly trained psychiatrist and a psychic, Judith Orloff shows us how to rediscover our intuitive intelligence in order to heal our bodies, minds and sexual selves. In this remarkable book, she presents give tools which help awaken this faculty within us and explores: * How conscious and unconsious beliefs affect healing * How mediation and other techniques heighten self awareness * How the body's subtle energies speed or inhibit healing, and how to tune into them. * How to use prayer and other techniques to enhance intuition * How to tap into the unconscious through dreamwork. As Dr Orloff explains, intuition plays a powerful role in self diagnosis, pain control, immune response and recovery from illness; it can be used for sexual healing, and to achieve breakthroughs in anxiety and depression. Providing step-by-step guidance, as well as examples from Judith Orloff's personal experience and her patients, this practical and unusual book will help you achieve true wellbeing.
