About this title

Review

Everyone is born with intuition, explains author Shakti Gawain. The problem is, most people learned to suppress the natural connection to their intuition, and were trained to solely rely on their logical, rational mind. "Many people who are not accustomed to being consciously in touch with their intuition imagine that it is a mysterious force that would come to them through some transcendent mystical experience", Gawain writes. "In fact, intuition is a very practical, down-to-earth tool that is always available to help us deal with the decisions, problems, and challenges of our daily lives".

Like Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing, Gawain spends most of the book emphasising the practical uses of this seemingly mystical skill. In her opening chapters Gawain offers relaxation and meditation exercises that nurture intuitive awareness. From there she discusses how to interpret and apply the intuitive messages we receive in our daily lives. For example, Gawain shows how intuition can help readers overcome addictive behaviours, create prosperity or heal physical ailments. It can also be used to enhance emotional stability or clarify career paths.

Gawain has a long history of writing straightforward, self-help primers that cover elusive spiritual material. Once again she has done an excellent job. Developing Intuition is a sensibly organised beginner's guide to intuition that steadily paces readers through a wealth of insight. --Gail Hudson
