Intuition is Your Superpower: Learn how to follow your gut and gain confidence in the little voice at the back of your mind
CHAPTER ONE
HOW MY BODY TOLD ME THE STORY I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FORGET
It was a winter’s night filled with sounds. As I climbed into bed,
I heard the rain pitter-patter on the streets of San Francisco
outside. “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” had been
playing on repeat in my head the whole day and looked set to
accompany me to sleep.
When suddenly, the booming became too loud, too near. I woke up and heard
footsteps and banging rattling through my paper-thin walls. It
was my neighbor. Drunk, again.
Dammit, he was having a party!
“Give him another hour”, I told myself.
What was causing me, a 36-year-old woman, to be this
triggered by a neighbor who had no idea he was setting off all
kinds of trauma in me? Why did I feel so vulnerable and
helpless?

We’re rational creatures – well, at least that’s what we’ve been told. Naturally, when it comes to making decisions, you don’t look at how you really feel about it – you do what your left-brain think is right.
That is, until one day you wake up and realize you’re not happy. Something’s terribly wrong – even though you did everything right.
You have everything you need alright – but none of what you want.
What happened?
Don’t let what you believe to be the choice of your rational mind suck all happiness out of you.
Sometimes, you’ve got to do a leap of faith – and trust your intuition a tiny bit more.
It’s here to serve you - and save you from wasting time on all the wrong people, in all the wrong places, doing all the wrong moves.
How do you know when is the right time to trust that little voice at the back of your mind - or completely ignore it?
Intuition isn’t the opposite of logic & facts - it’s about embracing both the spiritual and rational.
Intuition isn’t the voice of your biggest fears - or strongest desires.
And intuition isn’t something only a few chosen ones have - it’s rather a skill that can be taught and mastered.
That’s where Intuition is Your Superpower comes to give you some much-needed guidance and clarity.
In Intuition is Your Superpower, you will learn more about:
What is intuition and what intuition is NOT. Clear away all the prejudice and master the art of using your right brain and left brain at the same time
How to sharpen your intuition - easy methods everyone can use without having to leave modern living behind!
How to tell the difference between intuition and fear - never again let the ego make you doubt your own choices!
How your intuition talks to you using your body and get access to the body wisdom chart - understand your own self better!
How to use intuition to heal past trauma, heal, and move on the right path for yourself.
A SPECIAL BONUS CHAPTER: How sharp is YOUR intuition?
Your intuition knows what’s best for you - even if sometimes, it takes a while for your mind to catch up.
Your intuition can take you places - only if you trust yourself a bit more.
And your intuition is your superpower.
Are you ready to harness it?

About the author
Bernadette Balla
2 books6 followersBernadette Balla is an ambitious and spiritually focused woman who lives and works in the eclectic hub of San Francisco, California.
She started in the position of quality assurance manager at Silicon Valley start-up Twitch in 2009. Twitch is the world’s leading streaming video and gaming platform, a recent unicorn, having been acquired by Amazon in 2014 for just under a billion dollars.
She always had a fascination for understanding human behavior and the human language. In college she studied Sociology for her Bachelors and has a Masters in Information Technology. While working in Silicon Valley with software engineers and data scientists Bernadette began to evaluate and study how right brain and left brain people communicate and interact.
Working in the Silicon Valley environment was like an experimental playground, which gave her insight into how analytical people perceive things. She was compelled to bridge the data scientist left brain thinking with more right brain emotional intelligence.
Over the last few years Bernadette has dedicated herself to the evolution of an authentic and spiritual approach to her life. She firmly believes in the power of positive thinking and the importance of savouring every moment you experience in life.
Through her personal stories and life experiences, Bernadette is on a mission to empower young adults to find their inner connection and to find their inner self power.
Bernadette’s goal is to help everyone find the balance between:
Selfish vs Selfless
Ego vs Emotion
Silicon vs Spirit
Misunderstood vs Meditation
Confusion vs Consciousness
Money vs Inner Peace

Trust your gut
This is such a wonderful read. Reading this felt like the author was talking about me! We all at some point in our life have gone through the certain stages, struggles and Bernadette talks about them all in her book. Reading the book I felt like, this is me, I have been through this, I am still struggling and I don't know what is happening to me. Bernadette talks about her own struggles, how she had to go through everything to finally understand what was causing them. And most importantly how she has learned to trust the signs, using her intuition, trusting her decision.
The book it self took me around one and half hour to read. Going through a lot of personal loss myself I get easily triggered, Bernadette has helped me to control them. I have learned to trust more in my intuition as well.
P.S There is a bonus chapter that helps figure out how strong your intuition is. How cool is that!

Are you curious about intuition? This quick read gives you the author’s take on this somewhat nebulous topic. It is intensely personal as the author shares her journey about how she has gotten guidance and helped heal some of her mental wounds by pausing to reflect on what her mind and body is telling her and actively encouraging her intuition. Each chapter contains both her personal experience and more general thoughts about how the reader can incorporate the chapter’s topic into his or her own life. She does get you thinking about trusting those flashes of personal insight and what our bodies tell us. Our brains and our bodies are capable of so much more than just rationality and what can be quantified and measured. They store wisdom, and that wisdom can teach us so much if we are willing to listen and perhaps encourage.
The author looks at topics including body wisdom, how to encourage your intuition by working with the symbols resonating in your life, how to use it to help unpack your emotional baggage, and trusting intuition more in everyday circumstances. She also talks about different ways to meditate. There's also a fun quiz at the back to see where you fall on the rational-intuitive spectrum.
The author has an easy-to-relate-to writing style, writing as if she is your slightly more knowledgeable girlfriend talking to you about intuition. Kudos to her, too, for writing with incredible honesty about the difficulties she has had in her life. They have definitely made her stronger, yet she still comes across as compassionate and kind, gently coaxing the reader trust and encourage intuition.
The book is short and can be read in less than an hour.

Loved the book! I've always been intuitive but this book has helped me learn the difference between fear and intuition - now it's just easier to tell if I'm making the right decision or not. Haven't gone wrong lately, so that's definitely something.
I've been following Bernadette's work for a couple of years already and I can wholeheartedly recommend her books and content to everyone looking to learn more about themselves and align with their true purpose & mission in life.

Great book. I got a better understanding and how to process intuition. Feeling more comfortable with the idea of using my instincts as a guidance tool and follow my gut feelings.
