Great explanation of the quantum principles behind energy healing. I've probably bought 8 copies of this book to give to others.

I love Belleruth. I was introduced to her by my very mainstream therapist as part of my healing from a childhood trauma. Belleruth is singularly responsible for my being able to fall asleep after years of trauma-induced insomnia via her guided imagery series of CDs. I had no idea she had written a book until I stumbled upon it looking for something else--but was delighted to give it a whirl.

The early part of the book introduces Psi energy--what it is and how we know it exists--and how accessing it increases your intuition. The middle part of the book introduces visualizations for increasing your sensitivity to your intuition. (At this point, I stopped reading and bought her CD that contains the visualizations set to music--wonderful!! I spent a couple of months gently listening to the CD before picking the book back up.) The final part of the book covers specific habits/practices for furthering your access to your intuition, the ethics of sharing your insights with others, and some biographical/contact information on the folks she interviewed to write the book.

I am not one to tread far from the "mainstream" but I have always been a pretty perceptive person. Belleruth's book validated something I have known for a long time: that 6th Sense--our intuition--is readily available to us. We often shut it off for one reason or another, but if we are willing to gently open that door it can be a splendid gift. If you want to know how to do that, Belleruth may be the guide you're seeking.

Good book for the beginner, but if you've already mastered meditation and have used your skills of intuition, you might find this text a bit boring.

Author was a practicing psychotherapist in Cleveland, Ohio when she wrote this book.

It is an interesting "do-it-yourself book for meditation..."

I have enjoyed many of Belleruth Naparstek's guided imagery recordings, and this is my first book. It was very engaging, seemed very science-based, and included plenty of information about developing psi skills. I was most intrigued by the chapter on "explaining it." Far from making me uncomfortable with "woo-woo" metaphysical concepts, this book read like a great how-to for expanding one's thoughts and sensitivities. Belleruth's guided imagery has pleased me in the past; now I understand some of the reasons she chooses her language and the imagery. All in all, a great read. Even my husband - a skeptic - expressed interest in reading the book.

Very interesting! Reminds me a lot of some of Dr. Zayas' lectures. Haven't checked yet but I'll have to look for some existing recordings of these meditations bc I think we listened to some in undergrad and I don't want to record my own voice lol

Lots of steps for tapping into our intuition. Encouraging.

[Hiroko · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you are new to this concept, this would be a good book. I did find some pieces of good information. The Part 2 was useless for me...

Wow!!!

[Miss Adventures In The Dating World™]

Excerpt::
"I would define keeping an open heart as this quality of energized presence, away of staying consciously full of feeling and egaged even (and especially) in the face of suffering and pain--ours and that of those we attend. Although it may initially seem kinder to protect ourselves by closing out hearts down and cutting ourselves off from our feelings, it doesn't really work that way, at least not in the long run. The exhaustion of burnout actually comes from being shut down and disconnected from the vast energy supply that our feelings generate. Mostly, heartful practice is about keeping the heart open to the world around us--to people, places, ourselves, and the divine. It means coming from a place of empathic attunement. It's about seeing the connections, the interlocking webs of energy among people and things, and residing as much as possible in that place of no separation."

Intellectually interesting and spiritually enlightening. This is an actual how-to book complete with scientific support to enhance metaphysical experiences. I can see how this book is for the entire spectrum from practitioner (psychotherapist) to me (interested in tapping more into my spiritual abilities and universal understanding). As I read, I was impressed by how much in line with Christian religious beliefs (i.e. recognizing and relying on promptings from the Holy Spirit to guide us in personal decisions and situations) these psi experiences can be. Although not directly referenced in this book, I am more motivated to learn about eastern medicine, meditation, etc. as an avenue to being more healthy personally and creating the best environment possible for my family.

[Lelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Naparstek takes a very measured approach to something that can be conceived of as woo-woo, which I appreciate since some people who are psychics or alternative healers come across as ditzy space cadets. I love that Naparstek grounds her understanding of psi in David Bohm’s description of implicate order, and I like that Naparstek gives guidance on how to handle psi responsibly - such as don’t tell if you haven’t been asked, and let go of the need for a certain outcome. Whether her guided imagery meditations actually help one develop psi abilities is a question I haven't answered. I assume the process is a gradual immersion in greater openness rather than a sudden awakening.

This is a good book for those wanting to learn about and possibly increase their intuitive ability. I have a very intuitive friend and have always admired her natural ability. I liked the inclusion of imagery meditations to record. I tried one and at the very least found it relaxing. I plan on keeping this book as a reference to work on from time to time.

[Monica · Rating 4 out of 5]

A friend, a fellow seeker, gifted me this book because he knew I was seeking guidance on meditation methods as well as how to handle my occasional psychic pops. I found this book most helpful in both areas. Naparstek provides lots of information, but in an organized and clear way. I know that I will be consulting this book on a regular basis.

This is a wonderful book of learning intuition and practicing meditative state. I'm learning so much with my intuition abilities. Intuition has strengthen my faith. And has given me a wide open view to the beauty around us. This is a must read book!

Belleruth does cutting edge guided imagery, and this book does not disappoint. Lots of interesting thoughts.

[Susan Mandel]

Belleruth Naperstak is a talented therapist and a highly intuitive person. She shares her wisdom and experiences in this remarkable book, which I found to be affirming.
